Ep 65 | Why Algae Is the Missing Link in Your Health with Catharine ArnstonLooking for more energy, detox, and glowing skin? Algae may be holding the upgrade your body's been craving.In this episode, I sit down with Catharine Arnston, founder of EnergyBits, to talk about the powerhouse duo: spirulina + chlorella. We cover:12:09 – Why algae is a food not a supplement16:15 – My personal algae story & how Catharine and I met20:00 – How this algae is different than the one that shuts down your beach22:51 – Spirulina vs. Chlorella: what's the difference?28:35 – The science of algae & cancer prevention45:40 – How algae supports menopause, mitochondria & brain health1:03:10 – Mold, detox, and why chlorella is “health insurance”Catharine's passion for algae is contagious. You'll hear why NASA and biohackers worldwide swear by these tiny green tablets and the science behind them.✨ Takeaways:Spirulina = energy + focus + proteinChlorella = detox + recovery + mold/heavy metal supportAlgae is food, not a supplement: nutrient-dense, effortless, sustainableMeet Catharine Arnston:Catharine Arnston is an expert in algae nutrition, a wellness thought leader, an experienced entrepreneur, and a sought-after speaker. Catharine has a PhD, MBA, BA Hons, and is a board-certified health coach.Catharine's journey into the fascinating world of algae began in 2008 when her younger sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would improve her healing. Catharine left her 25- year corporate career, leading her to algae - the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense food in the world. When Catharine learned that algae's vast healing properties were documented in tens of thousands of scientific studies but that none of these studies or benefits were known outside of Asia, she knew she needed to do something. And so ENERGYbits® was born. Catharine has spent the last fifteen years researching algae, writing papers, giving presentations, lecturing at conferences, and speaking on 300+ podcasts to explain the benefits of algae. To do this, she read thousands of scientific papers that detailed, validated, and confirmed algae's nutritional, health, longevity, and global benefits. It is Catharine's vision and passion to change this and her PhD in natural health has given her the scientific fluency that allows her to explain algae with such simplicity and clarity, it quickly becomes obvious why algae is something we all urgently need.

In this episode I'm really excited to introduce you to Dr. Nasha Winters, who is author of the book "The Metabolic Approach to Cancer." She's a naturopathic doctor and founder of Metabolic Regen University and has created a metabolic approach to helping people prevent and address cancer and metabolic health disorders. I'm so glad she's here with me on How Humans Heal today. Because Dr. Nasha and I are both naturopathic doctors and graduated from naturopathic medical school at a similar time, our paths have crossed many times over the years. We are both passionate about sharing the message that health can be achieved by addressing the root cause of the health issue. We help patients figure out what's going on under the surface and help them understand what that means in terms of what they can implement to make a difference, especially related to cancer. Dr. Nasha's teaches around the world to both lay audiences and professional audiences, and created the Metabolic Regen University as a way to train clinicians in her approach to cancer. In this episode, Dr. Nasha shares her personal experience with ovarian cancer, how she healed herself, and how that inspired her to become a naturopathic doctor. We talk about high risk HPV related cancer, and cancer in general – how to think about it differently, and non-conventional ways to support healing. If you or someone you know is dealing with cancer, or at risk of cancer, this is an essential interview to listen to in your research process to identify alternative and integrative ways to prevent and address cancer, alongside conventional cancer treatment or if/when conventional approaches fail.

Dan Schmitt, President and CEO of Actuate Therapeutics, is developing a cancer therapy that inhibits GSK3β, a key enzyme that is hijacked in cancer cells to drive tumor growth. Inhibiting this enzyme can impact the cancer cells and stimulate an immune response against the tumor. Actuate selected metastatic pancreatic cancer as their first target due to unmet need and promising data for their lead drug candidate. This could represent a significant advancement in the treatment of metastatic pancreatic cancer, offering a new standard-of-care option. Dan explains, "So, GSK-3β is a known quantity across a number of inflammatory diseases. It was understood when we first started the company that, particularly in cancer cells, GSK is hijacked in its activity. Basically it's been shown that in normal cells, GSK-3β sits in the cytoplasmic domain and there it's involved in multiple paths, basically in glucose metabolism. But in cancer cells, it translocates into the nuclear compartment, and there it's accumulated at much higher levels and then sits upstream of a pro-oncogenic set of pathways, all mediated by NF-κB. NF-κB is notorious in cancer. It regulates gene expression involved in tumor growth and progression, chemoresistance, and protects tumor cells from death." "So it's been very difficult to target NF-κB directly, but we can target GSK-3β directly, specifically and potently, and therefore downregulate those key oncogenic processes. And that's really where we started the company, that set of activities of this protein. What's been shown since we've been in the clinic is that there is also a resulting upregulation of immune response from the host towards the cancer itself based on this inhibition of GSK-3β as well." #ActuateTherapeutics #Cancer #PancreaticCancer #MetastaticPancreaticCancer actuatetherapeutics.com Download the transcript here

In this thought-provoking episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons welcomes Dr. Jeffrey Dach for a powerful discussion on bioidentical hormones, estrogen, and the myths that have shaped women's health for decades.Dr. Dach draws from over 40 years of clinical experience and research to challenge the mainstream narrative that estrogen causes breast cancer. Together, he and Dr. Jenn explore how estrogen protects DNA integrity, why natural progesterone is vastly different from synthetic progestins, and how iodine and testosterone play overlooked but vital roles in breast cancer prevention.Along the way, they trace the history of hormone therapies—from DES and Tamoxifen to modern-day aromatase inhibitors—revealing both the progress and the persistent dogmas of conventional medicine. This is a conversation about evidence, empowerment, and the urgent need to rethink how we approach women's health.Because of its depth and importance, this conversation has been divided into two parts. This episode is Part 1 of 2.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Why estrogen may protect against breast cancer rather than cause itThe truth about estrogen receptors and how they shape cancer riskThe critical difference between natural progesterone and synthetic progestinsHow testosterone supports breast cancer preventionWhy iodine deficiency remains a hidden driver of diseaseThe historical evolution of hormone therapies—from DES to TamoxifenHow entrenched medical dogmas persist despite new evidenceEpisode Timeline Highlights00:00 Introduction to Dr. Jeffrey Dach & the Hormone Debate 08:15 Breaking Away From Conventional Medical Training 16:32 Estrogen Receptors & The Women's Health Initiative Revisited 24:48 Estrogen as a Guardian of DNA Integrity & Historical Shifts in Cancer Treatment 33:10 Pregnancy, Hormones, & Breast Cancer Protection 41:22 Estriol, BiEst, & The Work of Dr. Rebecca Glazer 49:55 Iodine's Role in Breast & Thyroid Health 58:40 Progesterone Deficiency, Progestins, & Cancer Risk 1:07:12 Pharmaceutical Influence, Processed Foods, & Inflammatory Triggers 1:15:36 Fertility Decline, Chronic Disease, & Why Medical Beliefs Resist Change

What happens when a 16-year-old boy runs away from chemotherapy—and survives? In this gripping episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz sits down with Billy Best, the teen who became a national sensation in 1994 when he fled conventional cancer treatment in search of something different. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, Billy rejected chemotherapy after watching it ravage his aunt's health and instead placed his trust in faith, intuition, and the wisdom of thousands of everyday people who reached out to introduce him to a whole new world of natural healing. Billy's story is more than a medical anomaly—it's a powerful testimony of medical freedom, holistic healing, and the suppressed potential of natural medicine. His healing protocol included nutritional therapy, Essiac tea, and 714X lymphatic injections, along with a radical mindset shift, spiritual surrender, and a deep belief in the body's ability to heal. Within months, his cancer was gone. Billy didn't just survive. He healed. And in the early days of his recovery, he believed—with everything in him—that his story would change the world. That people would wake up. That natural medicine would finally be heard. That the truth would matter. But it didn't. Instead, Billy faced the crushing reality of censorship, media manipulation, and corporate control. His miraculous outcome wasn't celebrated—it was buried. Stories were pulled at the last minute. Reporters were silenced. And the very system that claims to be searching for a cure wanted nothing to do with the one he'd found. In this episode, you'll discover: The viral true story behind Billy Best's escape from chemotherapy What 714X is, how it works, and why it's banned in the U.S. How bio-individuality, nutrition, and mindset played key roles in his healing The power of belief, faith, and spirituality in the healing process Why Billy believed he'd found the cure for cancer—and what happened when no one wanted it The disturbing link between pharma-funded media, cancer fundraising, and censorship Insight into Codex Alimentarius, glyphosate, GMOs, and the global food agenda Why we must reclaim health freedom and medical sovereignty now more than ever Billy also speaks candidly about the emotional aftermath—how addiction, trauma, and grief shaped the decades following his recovery—and why he's still fighting, 30 years later, to help others awaken, question, and heal. This is more than a survival story. It's a raw, unflinching testimony of what happens when someone dares to trust their gut, break the rules, and walk a path no one else will. And it's a heartbreaking reminder that sometimes, even when you've found the truth, the world just isn't ready for it. Whether you're a practitioner, cancer survivor, or someone seeking health freedom, this conversation is a must-listen.

Ricardo Carrau, MD, believes cancer patients should consider getting a second opinion before beginning their treatment. “There are multiple reasons to get a second opinion, all of which are correct,” said Carrau, a head and neck cancer surgeon and director of the James Comprehensive Skull Base Surgery Program. “A cancer diagnosis is life changing and if you have any questions, if you want to make sure the decisions you are making are correct, a second opinion is in order.” In this episode, Carrau describes the process, starting with the initial issue that compelled a person to seek medical care. He used his specialty as an example. “A head and neck cancer diagnosis is very complex,” he said. “It begins with a physical exam, endoscopies, then a biopsy and imaging, which is out map of the cancer. Then [here at the James] we have a tumor board, a committee whose members are all experts in all the different areas of head and neck cancer. The end result is taken back to the patient and the patient is the ultimate decision maker; the patient needs to understand the consequences.” It is at this point that Carrau recommends a patient get a second opinion. “There is a perception the physician could be offended by this,” he said. “It isn't that way. The patient and I have a partnership to achieve the best possible outcome … We get a lot of people who come here for a second opinion and some of our patients go elsewhere for a second opinion.” Carrau added that he and other James cancer specialists have a network of expert colleagues at other leading cancer centers they can recommend to their patients for a second opinion. “The reason I went to medical school was to help people,” Carrau said, adding interacting with patients and giving them the best possible care “gives me purpose in life and fulfillment.”
The growing spectrum of neurotoxicities related to targeted cancer therapies can present a challenge for radiologists. In this AJR Conversation, Neuroradiology Imaging Senior Editor Carlos Zamora, MD, PhD, speaks with Alvand Hasankhani, MD, about his team's recently published article addressing the critical role of neuroimaging in detecting and differentiating neurotoxicity syndromes associated with common and emerging cancer therapies.
“Colorectal cancer treatment is not just about eliminating a disease. It's about preserving life quality and empowering patients through every phase. So I think nurses are really at the forefront that we can do that in the oncology nursing space. So from early detection to survivorship, the journey is deeply personal. Precision medicine, compassionate care, and informed decision-making are reshaping outcomes. Treatment's just not about protocols. It's about people,” ONS member Kris Mathey, DNP, APRN-CNP, AOCNP®, gastrointestinal medical oncology nurse practitioner at The James Cancer Hospital of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center in Columbus, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about colorectal cancer treatment.

Highlights From This Episode “Colorectal cancer has several different types, but there is one that dominates the landscape, and that is adenocarcinoma. So I think most of us have heard that. It's fairly common, and it accounts for about 95% of all colorectal cancers. It begins in the glandular cells lining the colon or rectum and often develops from polyps, in particular adenomatous polyps.” TS 1:41 “One of the biomarkers that we'll most commonly hear about is KRAS or NRAS mutations. This indicates tumor genetics, and these mutations suggest resistance to our EGFR inhibitors such as cetuximab. BRAF mutation or V600E is a more aggressive tumor subtype, and those may respond to our BRAF targeted therapy. … And then our MSI-high or MMR-deficient—microsatellite instability or mismatch repair deficiency—that really predicts an immunotherapy response and may indicate Lynch syndrome, which is a huge genetic component that takes a whole other level of counseling and genetic testing with our patients as well.” TS 6:02 “Polypectomy or a local excision—that removes our small tumors or polyps during that colonoscopy. And that's what's used for those stage 0 or early stage I cancers. A colectomy removes part or all of the colon. This may be open or laparoscopic. It can include a hemicolectomy, a segmental resection, or a total colectomy, so where you take out the entire part of the colon. A proctectomy removes part or all of the rectum. This may include a low anterior resection, also known as an LAR … or an abdominal perineal resection, which is an APR. … Colostomy or ileostomy—that diverts the stool to an external bag via stoma. Sometimes this is temporary or permanent depending on the type of surgery.” TS 14:11 “We'll have our patients say, ‘Hey, I want immunotherapy therapy. I see commercials on it that it works so well.' We have to make sure that these patients are good candidates for it, also that we're treating them adequately. We need to make sure that they have those biomarkers, so as I mentioned, the MSI-high or MMR tumors. Our MSS-stable tumors—they may benefit from newer combinations or clinical trials. Metastatic disease—immunotherapy may be used alone or with other treatments. And then in the neoadjuvant setting, some trials are really showing promising results using immunotherapy prior to surgery.” TS 25:38 “Antibody-drug conjugates are really an exciting frontier in all cancer treatments as well as colorectal cancer treatment. This is used mainly for patients with advanced or treatment-resistant disease, and these therapies combine the targeted power of monoclonal antibodies with the cell-killing ability of potent chemotherapy agents. They're still on the horizon for the most part in colorectal cancer. However, there is only one approved antibody-drug conjugate, or ADC, at this time, and that's trastuzumab deruxtecan, or Enhertu. That's approved for any solid tumor, such as colorectal cancer with HER2 IHC 3+. So again, looking back at that pathology in those markers, making sure that you have that HER2 mutation and that IHC.” TS 35:00 “There are a few myths going around about colorectal cancer treatment that can lead to confusion or even delayed care. One myth is only older men get colorectal cancer. As you heard me talk in my previous podcast on screening, unfortunately, this isn't necessarily true. Colorectal cancer affects both men and women and our cases in the younger population are rising. So our screening guidelines have changed to age 45 because we are seeing it in the younger population.” TS 45:54

This conversation is an invitation to reconnect with the parts of you that have long been silenced. To reconnect with the truth of who you are. And to feel what your body is really saying through symptoms and sensations. It also serves as a reminder that healing isn't about fixing — it's about coming home to yourself through the power of somatic healing, emotional awareness, and embodied safety. In this transformative episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with my dear friend, Dr. Christian Gonzalez — naturopathic doctor, host of Heal Thy Self, and founder of the Emotional Liberation Method — to explore the powerful connection between the body, trauma, and true healing. I've personally had the honor of working with Dr. G, and I can tell you — his work is nothing short of profound. His understanding of the body, trauma, and emotional expression has shifted the way I see healing, both in myself and in others. From the brilliant role of fascia to the energy of repressed emotion, Dr. G offers a fresh lens on why we get sick — and what it actually takes to get well. Together, we dive into how childhood patterns shape adult identities, how the nervous system underpins nearly every chronic condition, and why voice and vibration — not just breath — may be the missing link in somatic healing. We also touch on the emotional profiles often overlooked in cancer care, the unspoken shame many women carry, the truth about self-abandonment, and how co-regulation can become a portal to profound transformation. Whether you're on a healing journey or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, this conversation is a powerful reminder: What if your chronic symptoms weren't random — but messages from a body that's been trying to speak to you all along?

This is episode three of Swimming with Shadows: A Radiolab Week of Sharks.Today, we take a trip across the world, from the south coast of Australia to … Wisconsin. Here, scientists are scouring shark blood to find one of nature's hidden keys, a molecular superhero that might unlock our ability to cure cancer: shark antibodies. They're small. They're flexible. And they can fit into nooks and crannies on tumors that our antibodies can't.We journey back 500 million years to the moment sharks got these special powers and head to the underground labs transforming these monsters into healers. Can these animals we fear so much actually save us?
