Most patients are told one thing before surgery: stop all supplements. Duke surgeon Dr. Rebecca Knackstedt says that blanket advice can do harm, and that what you do in the days before surgery changes how you heal.Dr. Knackstedt is a plastic and reconstructive microsurgeon on faculty at Duke, an MD-PhD researcher and a certified functional medicine provider whose research focuses on surgical prehabilitation: preparing the body, mind, and home before surgery, the way we already do with rehab.In today's episode, we discuss:• What prehab looks like for any operation• The labs she checks• Which supplements to keep and which to stop (omega-3s do not increase bleeding)• Hormones after breast cancer• Why mammograms still beat thermography• What chemo does to metabolism• The questions to ask your oncologist before a treatment decision• How much protein to eat (no standard exists, and the average woman gets 60 to 70 grams a day, well short of the 100-gram floor)• Why surgery is catabolic and muscle is your reserve• Carbohydrate loading before the fasting cutoff and why it can reduce pain• The five-day window that lowered complications and even mortality in head and neck cancer patients• Why early walking replaced routine bed restConnect with Dr. KnackstedtInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/surgical_recovery/Website → https://www.clararecovery.com/Sponsors• Perfect Amino by BodyHealth, https://bit.ly/4wZgg6N, code LYON20 for 20% off your first order• Timeline Mitopure → https://bit.ly/4x18cm5, for an extra 20% off• Lola Blankets → lolablankets.com (http://lolablankets.com/), code: DRLYON for 40% off select blankets (limited time)Find Dr. Gabrielle Lyon at:• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drgabriellelyon/• TikTok: tiktok.com/@drgabriellelyon• Facebook: http://facebook.com/doctorgabriellelyon• X: http://x.com/drgabriellelyon• Apply to become a patient – https://drgabriellelyon.com/new-patient-inquiry/• Weekly newsletter – https://institute-for-muscle-centric-medicine.ck.pageChapters:00:00 Prehab saves lives and money.

What would you do if you were diagnosed with cancer later in life? In this episode of the Focused Healthy Family Podcast, Don takes a closer look at a question that sparked a surprising amount of conversation: Would you choose chemotherapy at age 70, 80, or beyond? After a previous podcast raised the question, listeners responded with very different experiences. Some said chemotherapy gave them more years of life and they would make the same decision again. Others chose not to pursue treatment, while some found themselves questioning the impact treatment had on their quality of life. Don shares these perspectives and explores the bigger questions behind the decision: Is age really the most important factor? How does overall health affect the decision? What does quality of life mean to you? And how much should the individual's wishes matter when family members want them to keep fighting? The conversation also turns toward something Don knows well—managing stress and emotional overwhelm during difficult health situations. He discusses breathing, EFT tapping, time in nature, hobbies, and finding ways to calm the mind and body, whether someone is undergoing treatment or dealing with another major health challenge. This isn't an episode about telling you what decision to make. It's about opening the conversation and recognizing that every person, every diagnosis, and every situation is different. Don would especially like to hear from people who have experienced chemotherapy—both those who chose it and those who chose not to—and how that experience affected not only their bodies, but also their mindset, emotions, and view of life. #234 Medicine, Mindset & Meaning https://youtu.be/298s3AoNq_A Bonus: Interview with Stuart Madow https://studio.youtube.com/video/KVDTmnkQF6I/edit

What is chemo really like? Registered nurse Mary Ghosh spent her career caring for patients. Then, at 41, her second mammogram found a 1.6 cm mass, and she became the patient herself. She was diagnosed with stage 1 triple negative breast cancer and spent six months in the chemo chair. Mary didn't pretend it was fine. She told the truth: the fear, the fatigue, the hair loss, the steroid mood swings, the nerve pain, and all the strange little things nobody warns you about. She told it with humor, and she told it with a playlist. That became her book, Chemo Boogers: A Music-Fueled Memoir of Humor and Hope in the Chaos of Cancer. If you're about to start chemo, you love someone who's in it right now, or you just need proof that laughter still belongs in hard places, this one's for you. In this episode, we talk about: Getting a triple negative breast cancer diagnosis at 41 from just her second mammogram Why Mary is so passionate about mammograms and early detection Going from nurse to patient, and why she wanted to hear from people who had actually been through it Neoadjuvant chemo (chemo before surgery), the Red Devil, Taxol, and steroid side effects Why "day three" was always the hardest, and how she tracked her good and bad days How music became therapy, from Johnny Cash on the hard days to Flight of the Bumblebee on Taxol days How every chapter of her book pairs with a song, plus journal prompts to build your own chemo playlist The story behind the title Chemo Boogers Using humor to get through the hardest seasons of life and marriage The confusing "after," and how writing a book gave her purpose after treatment The best gift to give someone who's about to start chemo Mary's advice for anyone newly diagnosed: take a breath, you have a little time, and don't be afraid to reach out Get Mary's book, Chemo Boogers: Amazon: https://a.co/d/0giNPJYf  Also available at Barnes & Noble and wherever books are sold.

Table Talk Tuesday is back. And it's back with a room full of women who decided cancer would not get the final word. In this episode, I sit down with the leadership and models of At The Table, a Columbus, Ohio nonprofit that supports, educates, and empowers women cancer survivors — with a specific focus on African American women. We talk about their annual signature benefit, the Still I Rise Survivor Fashion Show, celebrating its 9th year on September 27 at 3:00 PM at Columbus Academy. Why a fashion show? Because cancer takes more than your health. It takes your confidence. Treatment changes your body. Chemo changes your hair. You stop recognizing the woman in the mirror. The runway gives that back. One model walked into the casting call topless after losing both expanders — and found her community in that room. This one gets real. Survivors share their diagnoses, their first time claiming the word "survivor," and what it means to walk a runway and say I am still here, I am still beautiful, my story is still being written. What we cover  • Why At The Table chose fashion as the platform for survivor advocacy  • How confidence gets rebuilt after cancer treatment — and why that matters beyond one event  • The sisterhood that forms at casting calls and rehearsals  • Why men belong in this conversation too (men get breast cancer, and families carry the weight)  • What happens after the runway: support groups, education, resources, scholarship  • The Denise Pittman Scholarship and the 9th Community Service Excellence Award  • Event details: lavender and gold, surprises at the door, why you should arrive on time If this episode moved you, do three things. Get your ticket at attrinc.org before Friday. Share this with a woman who needs to hear that her story is still being written.

HOST: Michael Fanning, SVP & Co-Owner, Windermere Coaching. Host of the Windermere Coaching Minute podcast.GUEST: Jeanette Eide, Windermere Northeast, Totem Lake. Twenty-four year veteran agent whose production is up 128% and GCI up 123% year over year, built on a 95-98% repeat-and-referral business.EPISODE SUMMARY:Jeanette Eide walks through the twelve months that included a stage two breast cancer diagnosis, six rounds of chemo, two surgeries, and 27 closed sales. She breaks down the specific system a shared scorecard, an accountability partner, and daily gratitude tracking that kept her business moving when she assumed she'd have to shut it down for the rest of the year.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:• Adapt your scorecard to a personal crisis instead of abandoning it• Use an outside accountability partner to keep activity consistent under pressure• Disclose a health challenge to clients honestly, and give them a genuine way out• Delegate the parts of the business that aren't your strength before you're forced to• Separate a scarcity mindset from an abundance mindset when a client relationship gets hardRESOURCES & RECOMMENDATIONS:Power of U Event with the Windermere coaching community where Jeanette connected with her accountability partner, Mark Carlisle.CONNECT:Reach Jeanette Eide:Cell: (206) 679-0403Office: (425) 820-5151Email: Jeanette.Eide@Windermere.comWebsite: eiderealestategroup.comwindermerecoaching.comSubmit a topic: fanning@windermere.comCharacter count: 1,595 / 4,000A few notes on choices: I pulled the "scarcity vs. abundance" learning point from your S14E02 conversation with Jordan since Jeanette's episode hits the same theme directly (her comment about attracting what you think about). I kept the resource list to PowerView since that's the only named tool/community actually mentioned — the scorecard itself isn't a branded resource, so I described it in the summary instead of listing it as a resource. Let me know if you want the title punchier or more understated — happy to try a few alternates.

Andrew Vontz has been an endurance athlete for 38 years. In March doctors found a tumor running from his the cavity between his lungs up across his neck that had displaced his carotid artery and was crushing his trachea. — This is the cancer episode. Andrew is five months into treatment for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. He has been through six rounds of chemo, a cytokine release storm, multiple hospitalizations, and in September will go to Dana Farber Cancer Institute for three weeks to get CAR T genetic therapy.

A top pathologist looked at Elina Fuhrman's cancer diagnosis and gave her four words that had nothing to do with a treatment plan: change your life.In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Elina Fuhrman, a former CNN journalist and founder of Soupalina, to talk about the breast cancer diagnosis that upended a life she thought was already good. Elina found a lump in the shower at 40, was told in the middle of her own biopsy that it didn't look good, and within days was facing pressure to schedule surgery the next morning. Looking for a second opinion, she found something she wasn't expecting: a pathologist who told her the numbers on her chart were only half the story.This conversation covers why Elina chose a lumpectomy, stopped radiation partway through, and refused chemotherapy altogether, and the years of digging that followed to find what she calls her own tipping point: toxic burden, unresolved trauma, and years of running on three hours of sleep a night. She explains how that search became Soupalina, first a set of healing soups she made for her own recovery, and now a service where she spends days inside a client's home turning it into what she calls a healing sanctuary. If you or someone you love is trying to figure out what actually needs to change after a cancer diagnosis, this episode is a place to start.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction 3:44 Escaping the Soviet Union with only $61 and no plan 11:00 Finding a lump in the shower and knowing immediately 13:00 Told "it's not looking good at all" during her own biopsy 19:00 A top pathologist's real answer: change your life 21:45 The hidden causes behind her cancer: toxic burden, trauma and three hours of sleep a night 25:51 Turning a client's home into a healing sanctuary 30:16 Lumpectomy, stopping radiation halfway through and refusing chemo Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:Soupelina - https://soupelina.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Was hält einen Menschen aufrecht, wenn das Leben ihm gleich mehrere Urängste vor die Füße wirft – erst das Augenlicht, dann die Diagnose Hirntumor? Elena Semechin hat genau das erlebt und ist stärker zurückgekommen als je zuvor. Als Jugendliche verlor sie fast ihr komplettes Sehvermögen; heute hat sie noch zwei Prozent Sehkraft. Sie wurde zweifache Paralympics-Siegerin im Para-Schwimmen, überstand kurz nach ihrem ersten Gold einen Hirntumor mit OP, Bestrahlung und 13 Monaten Chemo – und verteidigte danach ihr Gold mit einem Weltrekord. Heute ist sie außerdem Unternehmerin, Speakerin und Mama. Wir sprechen darüber, wie aus einer vermeintlichen Schwäche ihre größte Stärke wurde, warum man sich fast auf Krisen freuen kann, wie sie Angst und Druck kontrolliert – und warum sie sich mitten in der Karriere ganz bewusst für ein Kind entschieden hat. Du erfährst... … warum Akzeptanz der erste Schritt ist, um aus einer vermeintlichen Schwäche deine größte Stärke zu machen … wie du dich auf Krisen vorbereitest und Schicksalsschläge in dein wichtigstes Learning verwandelst … wie Elena mit Angst, Druck und Erwartungen umgeht, ohne die Kontrolle zu verlieren … warum klare Ziele dir gerade in den härtesten Phasen Struktur und Halt geben __________________________ ||||| PERSONEN |||||

Ever tried everything to lose weight—and I mean everything—and still felt stuck? If you're burned out from tracking, restricting, and trying to be “good,” this episode is going to feel like a big deep breath.Today, I'm joined by my amazing client Terri, who shares her story of losing 38 pounds after surviving aggressive blood cancer and chemo. Yep, she's been through it. Post-treatment, her energy was shot, her labs were a mess, and every “normal” dietitian gave her advice that didn't fit her life or her healing body. It wasn't until she found mindful eating and our work together that things started to click.Terri opens up about what it was really like to feel hopeless, skeptical, and just plain done with trying. She talks about the moment she decided to bet on herself one last time…and how it changed everything. No calorie counting. No burnout. No forcing herself to eat breakfast while nauseous just to hit macros. Just small, powerful shifts that worked for her real life, on her timeline.We get into the mindset stuff, the supplement support, the daily check-ins, the slow but steady weight loss that stuck, and how she finally got her energy and confidence back. This isn't a quick fix or a perfect before-and-after—it's the story of someone who learned how to listen to her body, eat without fear, and feel damn proud of herself again.If you're ready to finally bet on yourself and get off the self-sabotage merry-go-round, hit play! Let's talk real, sustainable, forever results with some laughter and a LOT of honesty. I know Terri's story will move you.xoxo,JackieP.S. Want to see Terry's before & afters?

Today's witnesses are from Matthew West's website, called popwe.org. If you don't know who Matthew West is, he is a singer, songwriter, and storyteller. This website is for the non-profit that he has with his father, a pastor. Matthew and his father encourage people to share their stories. They have various categories of stories. Today, I chose testimonies from the Healing Category. Often, we can hear our own story in someone else's story. When we listen to others tell their story, it helps us see that we are not alone. When we hear how God worked in their situation, it gives us hope that He will work in ours, too! I pray that when you hear these testimonies, you get the faith and hope to believe that miracles can happen in your situation, too. I pray you know that God is there with you, and if you invite Him into your situation, He can help. I hope you enjoy these testimonies. Hi, I'm Janet, and I am a mom and teacher! I love my life and glorify God every day! Ten years ago, I was diagnosed with colon cancer! I had excellent specialists and doctors. But the scans definitely showed cancer growths! I was on many prayer lists and trusted God completely! But the family conversations were very tough and heartbreaking! Surgery day arrived.  In the operating room, I asked to pray aloud with the team of surgeons. Four hours later I woke up to two surgeons sitting next to me. They told me they could not find the growths at all. They were gone!  However, they had removed a section of my intestines just as a precautionary measure.  Oncology tested twice and found nothing! God healed me completely! After a long recovery, my life was restored, and I'm praising God every day for His mighty and loving hand over my life. I dedicate myself to complete surrender and complete obedience daily, so I belong to my Lord Jesus now and forever! Melissa: In February 2024, on my 36th birthday, I got super sick. I had Crohn's. I was in the hospital one month and in rehab for another month. I had to do home health care for two months once I returned home. While in rehab I had to learn how to walk, stand, and sit again. I also lost my voice for two months and had to learn to talk again. I also temporarily lost my hair while losing 90 lbs. I had to learn how to chew and eat again. God stayed with me! And after 6 months of the onset of my sickness, which was only two weeks after my home care ended, I was able to go back to work. All glory to God for getting me through. Laurie: I was diagnosed with ductal cell carcinoma in July following my yearly mammogram. After two biopsies, two tags, and a postponed and then canceled surgery due to my surgeon having a boating accident, frustration set in. I was downright mad at the world. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I reached out to God in my darkest hour and asked, “Why me, God?” I just wanted the cancer gone. I didn't know what to do. I wondered if I should wait for the surgeon to heal or see a new surgeon an hour from my home and move forward.  I decided to go with a new surgeon.  I'm happy to report that after a 4-hour surgery, my cancer surgeon and plastic surgeon were able to remove all the cancer and do reconstructive surgery on September 25th. I am healing well and will be starting radiation treatments soon. I am so grateful for all the prayers I received from my family and friends! I am following the plan God has for me; He's not done with me yet! Sean: On December 29th, 2023, during my first routine colonoscopy, I was told I had Colon Cancer. Something inside me said, “Ok, now what?” Not scared, I believed that knowing that with Jesus and my family fighting for me, I'd be “ok. “ I had my surgery to remove 10 inches of my colon on Jan 30th, and all went well. There were no signs of spreading.  I was back doing everything as normal, including playing softball again. Nothing short of a God-placed miracle. My next colonoscopy in January 2025 went well, and I was still all clear.  This news really made my faith journey grow. Two weeks later, I had a CT scan, and my world changed forever. Stage 4 metastatic colon cancer spread to my liver and lungs. I can't lie; my first reaction was to ask why He would allow this after healing me a year prior. I went home and started looking at survival rates of my situation. Everyone on the internet, including all the main cancer sites, said a 12% 5-year survival rate. I hear the words “they say….” so much it drives me nuts. Who are “they” and what makes them an expert on me? They say they know, but they don't know my King!! I started writing down how I was feeling.  During this whole process, I was hearing God speak through music from a few artists, namely Matthew West and Anne Wilson. I was listening to songs like “Truth Be Told” and “Strong.” I had 5 Chemo sessions to try to shrink the tumor in my liver to make it operable, and it worked.  I went in to have a lung tumor removed, and they prepped me for surgery and brought me into radiology to do a process where they use a biopsy-type needle to mark the tumor for the surgeon. After 20 minutes of a lot of commotion while I lay in the CT machine, they took me out and said they couldn't explain it, but the tumor was practically gone. A small speck showing that was too small to even mark, let alone try to cut out. Surgery was canceled! God is good!! On June 9, I went in for the open liver surgery.   Moving on to liver surgery. The surgeon opened me up and saw damage to my liver and stopped the surgery. He was afraid of the liver not growing after surgery, causing liver failure. Again, I asked why He saved my lung, but let this happen. I went back a couple of weeks later for a procedure where they put a clot in the vein going to the left side of my liver to make the right side think it was gone.  The goal was to see if it would grow again. Again, God showed up as always. God is Good! My liver was growing, given the “ok” to have the second surgery. I already had plans for the end of July, as my wife and I volunteer at Kingdom Bound at Darien Lake, NY each year. This year would be special for me with you and Anne both performing. During your concert, I wrote down a request for a prayer card for your prayer wall. Thank you for that!! As usual, God was saying, “Have faith!” My surgery had been scheduled for Aug 5th, which was one week after you performed. It went successfully. I can't thank you enough for your inspiration and prayers.  You have been a big part of my daily story through your music.  Keep spreading His light! Thank you all for sharing your stories with us! It is not always easy to be vulnerable and share your story, and yet when you do, it helps so many other people. May God bless you and keep you and your loved ones healthy.   www.findingtruenorthcoaching.comCLICK HERE TO DONATECLICK HERE to sign up for Mentoring CLICK HERE to sign up for Daily "Word from the Lord" emailsCLICK HERE to sign up for my newsletter & receive a free audio training about inviting Jesus into your daily lifeCLICK HERE to buy my book Total Trust in God's Safe Embrace

COVID and Chemo are back again with updates from being on the go-go! Join us for a recap of our trip to Mexico City earlier this year. Highlights include food, folks, fun, and a n-word billboard sponsored by a Panamanian who hallucinated he was a Black Jamaican and caused mayhem and assorted hate crime in many communities. Also, COVID is requesting redress from the New York Times Wordle department for their rage-baiting behavior. Finally, last week, we met the incredible Ryan Ken, so we officially cannot be told anything. Anything at all. #staywoke

What if you could test your cancer cells BEFORE choosing a treatment and actually watch which drugs kill them? That's not science fiction. That's what we did for Kamren — a 38-year-old man in my own family who was diagnosed with a rare, complex cancer that conventional medicine struggled to classify, let alone treat. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on three precision tests that most oncologists have never ordered and explaining exactly what they revealed, what they changed, and why they matter for every cancer patient, not just his. We're talking about:

Send us Fan MailAt only 40 years old, Mark Sevillano Jr. began experiencing difficulty swallowing. At first, he blamed dehydration and continued running 5Ks, working, raising his children, and living his normal life. But when he could no longer swallow solid food—or even liquids—an emergency-room visit revealed a mass in his chest.Mark was eventually diagnosed with stage 2 esophageal cancer.In this powerful conversation, Mark shares the complete story of surviving cancer: the warning signs he initially ignored, the terrifying moment he went into sepsis shock, receiving the cancer diagnosis while alone, enduring chemotherapy, losing weight and strength, and undergoing an eight-hour surgery that removed the tumor and part of his esophagus.But this episode is about more than cancer treatment.Mark opens up about the emotional reality of life after cancer, grieving the person he was before his diagnosis, losing friendships, rebuilding his life, and learning that surviving cancer does not mean everything immediately returns to normal.He also explains how his faith became stronger during the most uncertain season of his life. Instead of asking God, “Why is this happening to me?” Mark began asking, “What do You want me to do with this?”In this episode:• The early signs of esophageal cancer• Why difficulty swallowing should not be ignored• Surviving sepsis and a life-threatening hospital emergency• What chemotherapy physically and emotionally feels like• Major esophageal cancer surgery and recovery• Learning to advocate for yourself as a patient• Faith and trusting God during cancer• Grief, trauma and emotional healing after cancer• Losing friendships during difficult seasons• Finding purpose and hope after survivalThis is an honest conversation about cancer survivorship, faith, grief, healing and what it means to rebuild your life after everything changes.Share this episode with someone currently fighting cancer, supporting a loved one through treatment, or learning how to live again after a life-changing diagnosis.Please follow LET'S GO!, leave a five-star review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, and tell us which part of Mark's story impacted you most.Medical disclaimer: This episode shares personal experiences and opinions for informational purposes only.

A cancer diagnosis doesn't end when treatment does. For many patients, the hardest part starts after chemo or radiation, when the immune system is depleted, digestion is disrupted, and no one is offering a roadmap for what comes next.In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Brett Aldrich, Ayurveda Counselor, Breathwork Practitioner, and founder of Seed the Spirit, to explore how a 5,000-year-old healing system fits alongside modern cancer care. Brett breaks down the five elements that shape your unique constitution, how Ayurveda defines disease long before a diagnosis appears, and why the doshas offer a completely different lens for understanding cancer itself. The conversation moves into practical tools you can actually use, marma point massage, Yoga Nidra, and breathwork, all designed to rebuild the immune and digestive systems while supporting emotional recovery. If you or someone you love is in treatment, in remission, or years past a diagnosis and still searching for what comes next, this episode offers grounded, non-prescriptive tools to work with, not against, your medical care.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction0:19 What Ayurvedic medicine actually is: the five elements and your constitution4:49 How Ayurveda defines disease before it becomes a diagnosis9:32 Reading the body through pulse, tongue, and skin15:44 How cancer is understood in Ayurveda through the three doshas22:44 Rebuilding immune strength with marma point massage and touch26:39 Yoga Nidra and visualization as tools for healing29:07 Breathwork: the simplest place to startSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:Seed the Spirit - https://seedthespirit.com/workshops-classes/ Dr. Vasant Lad, Ayurvedic Physician and Author - https://www.banyanbotanicals.com/Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Your immune system already knows how to find and destroy cancer cells. The question is whether it's been given what it needs to do the job.In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Jocelyn Strand to dig into one of the most underutilized tools in cancer support: beta-glucan. They break down how the immune system actually identifies and clears cancer, why your innate immunity is far more trainable than anyone told you in medical school, and how a specific molecule from yeast cell walls has receptors waiting for it on your immune cells by design. Dr. Strand walks through the science of trained immunity, epigenetic changes triggered at the cellular level, and why beta-glucan may double the effectiveness of immunotherapy in treatment-resistant patients. Whether you're in active treatment, in recovery, or simply trying to stay ahead of cancer, this conversation will change how you think about what your immune system is actually capable of.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction1:29 The immune system is your body's operating system, not just cold and flu defense3:47 Innate vs. adaptive immunity and how cancer gets identified and cleared7:09 We have receptors designed specifically for beta-glucan and that changes everything9:08 Beta-glucan calls the immune system back to what it already knows how to do13:24 The best doctor you have is already inside you16:07 Chemo suppresses the immune system you need most for recovery and recurrence prevention30:35 Beta-glucan doubles immunotherapy efficacy in treatment-resistant patients37:33 12 weeks of beta-glucan reversed biological aging in 7 of 11 body systems Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:Better Way Health 85 Beta-Glucan — https://secure.betterwayhealth.com/pages/mcf-500-af-sub-c?oid=7&affid=246TruDiagnostic — https://www.trudiagnostic.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Chemotherapy saves lives, but it can also lead to debilitating, lifelong nerve damage—also known as chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Dr. Carole Spangler Vaughn, CEO of Eisana Health and a cancer survivor herself, is solving this overlooked problem with a revolutionary product.Carole discovered that cooling hands and feet during treatment can reduce blood flow, preventing chemo drugs from damaging nerves in these areas. When she was a cancer patient, Carole improvised with baggies of frozen corn. While this crude method helped her avoid nerve damage, she recognized the need for a better, scalable solution. “As a medical innovator, I figured there'd be an easy way for me to do that,” Carole revealed during today's episode. “But I learned very quickly there's no solution for cancer patients.” That realization led her to found Eisana Health.Carole's innovation is far more advanced than her frozen-corn workaround. Eisana Health's cooling gloves and booties are safe, portable, and designed for long hours of use. “Cancer patients don't need to be ice cold or risk frostbite,” Carole explained. “Our products are designed to cool effectively, allowing patients to use their phones, eat, and walk while receiving treatment.”In addition to Carole's inspiring story as a scientist-turned-entrepreneur, today's episode included an announcement about Eisana Health's crowdfunding campaign on WeFunder. With their 510(k) FDA exemption, Eisana Health plans to launch their product quickly and grow through a phased approach, starting in Houston before scaling nationally. The campaign provides an opportunity for everyone—especially those personally impacted by cancer treatments—to invest in this game-changing technology.This effort is inspired by Carole's belief that CIPN outcomes can be avoided with the right tools. “We hear heartbreaking stories, like a foot surgeon who gave up her career after chemo left her unable to safely operate,” Carole shared. “These stories didn't need to end that way.”By focusing on a widely unaddressed yet deeply personal need, Carole is transforming her vision into a reality that will help cancer patients everywhere lead better lives.

Carole credits her skill not only for helping patients and investors understand her work but also for her success as an entrepreneur navigating technical fields.Carole shared an anecdote from when she ran a stem cell therapy franchise for pets in Hawaii. She had to explain intricate science to pet owners, like how stem cells extracted from fat could be re-injected to heal arthritic joints. Simplifying complex science while conveying hope enabled her to help clients, ultimately improving the quality of life for countless animals.Tips for Developing Communication:Build Confidence: Trust your knowledge and resist the urge to show off or overcomplicate.Practice Humility: Speak in simple terms and adapt your approach to your audience.Focus on Clarity: Avoid using technical jargon when simpler words can convey the same idea.Relate to Your Listener: Use relatable examples or stories to connect and explain.By following Carole's example and advice, you can make communication a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileCarole Spangler Vaughn (she/her):CEO, Eisana HealthAbout Eisana Health: While cancer survival rates continue to improve, side effects remain a significant issue, increasing healthcare costs and reducing quality of life. Eisana Health is developing patient-centric solutions to prevent these side effects. Our first device is a novel cooling device, specifically tailored to the unique needs of cancer patients, to prevent permanent and painful nerve damage in hands and feet caused by common chemotherapy drugs.Website: eisanahealth.comCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/eisanahealthOther URL: https://wefunder.com/eisana.healthBiographical Information: Dr. Carole Spangler Vaughn (CEO) holds a Ph.D. in Biophysics (Johns Hopkins University) and an MBA (University of Washington).

As she struggled to rebuild her own health, she also began recognizing developmental and sensory differences in her daughter, Journei. Kecia pursued evaluations that ultimately led to an autism diagnosis. About Our GuestKecia Johnson is the creator of the Cancer Could NEVA healing movement.

What does it actually feel like to be told you have a 20 to 30% chance of surviving? And what happens after - not the comeback story everyone wants to hear, but the years of brain fog, depression, and suicidal ideation that almost nobody talks about? What if the real miracle isn't beating the disease, but what you do in the long, dark years that follow? Michael finally sits down with his dear friend Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning and survivor of both a near-fatal car accident at 20 and a rare, aggressive leukemia at 37, for the interview that was supposed to happen a decade ago but got swallowed by Hal's diagnosis instead. This isn't the polished mindset story you've heard Hal tell a hundred times. These are two men who've both been hit by trucks, literally and figuratively, comparing notes on what dying actually teaches you about being alive, including the parts of the journey Hal has never fully unpacked on a podcast before. This isn't about beating cancer. This is about what comes after the remission, the brain damage, the despair, the six years it took just to feel human again, and the daily practice that, against everything, pulled him back. Key Topics: The diagnosis that changed everything: the night Hal woke up unable to breathe, the misdiagnosis, and the oncologist's words, "you have a 20 to 30% chance of surviving", that started it all. The decision that reframed his odds: why Hal refused to see himself as having a 30% chance of survival, and instead committed to doing everything the survivors did, giving himself a "100% chance of being among the 30%." The three-step affirmation formula Hal actually used to fight for his life: affirm what you're committed to, affirm why it's a must, and affirm exactly what you'll do and when, not the vague, magical-thinking affirmations most people are taught. The five deeply personal reasons Hal read aloud every single day during his darkest, 105-degree-fever nights, reasons that kept him going when he no longer wanted to fight for himself. Chemo brain laid bare: the year of two-to-four-hours-a-night sleep deprivation, the major depression, the suicidal ideation, and the moment Hal quietly began planning a way to end his life without it looking intentional. Why his children, not faith in his own recovery, were the real reason he didn't go through with it, and the moment he finally told his oncologist he was done with chemotherapy against doctor's orders. The nocebo effect: why being told a list of everything wrong with your body can be just as powerful, and just as dangerous, as any positive affirmation, and why Michael and Hal both refuse to let a doctor's opinion become their reality. Dr. Bernie Siegel's stunning finding from 3,000 cancer patients: the single common trait among every survivor was that there was simply no other option for them than survival. The healing that didn't begin in remission: why Hal says his real recovery only started in May 2020, when he quit every pharmaceutical drug he was on, and why it's taken six full years, with real progress only in the last twelve months. Why Hal is now releasing the belief that suffering is required to help others, and what it means to finally choose ease over earned wisdom. The mic-drop moment from the Miracle Morning documentary: filming himself mid-migraine, in unbearable pain, sobbing, and still saying, through tears, "I am grateful for this moment." Faith isn't certainty. It's choosing the possibility you want and committing to it completely, every single day, in writing, fueled by reasons big enough to carry you through the nights you want to give up. You can't guarantee the outcome. You can only stack the deck by becoming, every single day, a little more the person who gets there. Your best is yet to come. Say it until you believe it. Then go live like it's already true. Join the Inspire Nation Soul Family!

Safiya felt a lump at 36, had no insurance, and almost didn't know where to turn. Thankfully, a referral brought her to The Rose, where our patient navigation team helped her qualify for breast cancer treatment and got her first appointment at MD Anderson scheduled in just 15 days. Through all of it, our navigators walked alongside her, and her faith, anchored by a prayer her father read her the day she was diagnosed, carried her the rest of the way. Support The Rose HERE.

Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces the episode: Safiyah found a lump at 36 with no insurance, was referred to The Rose 10 days after her daughter turned 13, and qualified for Medicaid within weeks. 00:32 Dorothy describes Safiyah's treatment journey: chemo, surgery, radiation, hair loss, and hard conversations with two young children. She previews Safiyah's identity as a survivor who refuses to whisper. 01:51 Dorothy asks about the Phenomenal Women's event where Safiyah met Shannon McNair. Safiyah explains how a church event connected her to Nicole, who was donating proceeds to The Rose, and Safiyah shared her story. 02:38 Safiyah begins her story: January 2015, no insurance, a lump she felt and knew was not right. 03:10 Safiyah describes arriving at The Rose on January 5th, just three days after her daughter's 13th birthday, coming alone. 03:36 Safiyah explains a scheduling conflict: a court date for her daughter fell on the day scheduled for her biopsy. The Rose fit her in on a Wednesday, a day they do not normally do biopsies. 04:06 January 12, 2015: Safiyah receives her diagnosis. Invasive ductal carcinoma. 04:45 Dorothy asks how Safiyah knew to go in rather than wait. Safiyah describes several small moments, a missed earlier visit, a coworker's reaction to feeling the lump, that told her to take it seriously. 06:37 Dorothy notes Safiyah is nearly 10 to 11 years out. Safiyah confirms cancer free since July. 06:50 Safiyah talks about telling her daughter, then 13, about the diagnosis. Her daughter became an immediate and steady support, getting up at night to help without being asked. 08:09 Safiyah describes her treatment sequence: chemo first, then surgery, then radiation, then reconstruction. 08:30 Safiyah talks about hair loss. She cut her hair short before chemo started, went wig shopping with her sister as a fun outing, and found a way to own each phase of the look. 09:46 Dorothy asks how The Rose helped her get into treatment. Safiyah explains that a navigator told her not to pay for the insurance she was about to activate, and helped her qualify for breast cancer Medicaid instead. 10:41 Safiyah describes her determination to go to MD Anderson specifically, and the speed of the navigator's work. Diagnosed January 12, first MD Anderson appointment January 27. 11:33 Safiyah outlines the full treatment arc: one year of chemo including Herceptin, surgery, radiation, then reconstruction with one revision the following year. 12:23 Safiyah shares the lighter side of reconstruction. Her surgeon mentioned a tummy tuck was possible. She says that became her personal motivating bright spot. 12:55 Safiyah stopped working after her first round of chemo landed her in the hospital. Being home allowed her to be even more present for her kids. She now works from home. 13:40 Dorothy asks Safiyah to explain what she means by "a survivor who refuses to whisper." 13:55 Safiyah explains: refusing to whisper means being a voice so others know they do not have to walk alone. She describes cancer as something people mistake for a death sentence and calls herself a walking, talking testimony. 15:24 Dorothy asks whether Safiyah's optimism is inherited or developed. Safiyah says she has always been naturally optimistic and has always found purpose in speaking hope into others. 16:15 Safiyah talks about knowing family history. She was 36 at diagnosis, which means her daughter should start screening at 26. Her son also knows the full family history. 18:18 Safiyah shares that her mother had found a lump at 40 and never told anyone. Had she known, Safiyah would have started screening earlier. 19:08 Dorothy asks about Safiyah's faith. Safiyah describes the moment her father read her a prayer called "Let Go and Let God" the day she was diagnosed. That prayer became the anchor for her entire journey. 20:52 Safiyah traces several small moments she read as God's direction: the insurance paperwork timing, the court date resolving so she could focus on treatment, the Wednesday biopsy slot that should not have existed. 22:46 Dorothy reflects on how naturally encouragement flows from Safiyah. Safiyah describes stopping to talk to strangers, connecting with anyone she meets, and doing it with her kids watching, slightly impatiently. 23:44 Safiyah describes her signature T-shirt: letters rearranged to spell both "cancer" and "you too can survive." She explains it applies beyond cancer to anything hard. 25:11 Safiyah shares how her reach has expanded through family and friends passing along her name. She gets shirts custom made for people in treatment, including one that says "Cancer Chose the Wrong Diva." 26:14 Safiyah describes her radiation cohort. A woman she met daily during treatment was there the day Safiyah rang the bell. She still has photos. 26:42 Dorothy reveals this episode is recording on Safiyah's birthday. Safiyah explains why March 4th felt destined, and shows Dorothy a tattoo that reads "faith," marking January 12, 2015, her diagnosis date, as her "New Life Day." 27:41 Dorothy closes the conversation and confirms The Rose will keep Safiyah's name for patient peer support. Safiyah reiterates that The Rose gives people life and that she pours back into what was poured into her.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Millions of people with breast cancer could safely avoid chemotherapy as scientists have developed a groundbreaking DNA test. We speak to an oncologist who has been involved in the research and a woman who has gone through chemotherapy after a breast cancer diagnosis. Also on the programme: we hear from the Romanian president on the Russian drone that hit an apartment block in the east of the country; and a preview of tonight's Champions League football final between Paris St Germain and the London club Arsenal.

It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers. Segment 1 • James asks for advice on repairing his relationships with his children. • Anonymous wonders if casual swearing reveals a deeper heart issue — or even a lack of desire to honor Christ. Segment 2 • Jeff asks: “When is it finally appropriate to draw hard boundaries with unbelievers?” • Anonymous wrestles with a difficult medical question: Is refusing chemotherapy an act of faith… or presumption? • Glen asks how Christians can tell whether a Bible verse applies directly to believers today without ripping it out of context. Segment 3 • Laramie admits that the thought of living forever sometimes feels overwhelming — is that fear normal for Christians? • Jonathan asks how pastors should faithfully preach through massive Old Testament books without losing their congregation. • Would spending an entire year preaching through Psalms or Isaiah actually be wise? Segment 4 • Megan asks whether Christians really have guardian angels — or if that idea comes more from tradition than Scripture. • Jess wonders if dreams that seem prophetic are truly from God or something else entirely. • Jeff questions whether believers calling each other “queen,” “king,” and “prince” reflects Christian identity… or worldly thinking. • Anonymous asks why marriage is often emphasized more than full-time ministry when both are high callings. • Alan wrestles with a sobering question during Pride Month: Is pride the root beneath every other sin? ___ Thanks for listening!
