Not long after going in for a colonoscopy in 2015, John Morrissey was told he had Stage One colon cancer. A Denver-based radio traffic reporter, John learned of his diagnosis with a telephone call from his oncologist two minutes before he was scheduled to deliver a live report! He composed himself, delivered a flawless update, then immediately decided he had to take action. In three weeks, he underwent a surgical procedure that successfully removed a cancerous polyp. After three weeks of rest, John returned to work. He goes in for colonoscopies every five years, and cancer-free, has resumed a normal life in Mazatlan, Mexico. John waited until he was 60 years old before getting his first colonoscopy. It revealed some polyps, but on a Wednesday, the doctor wouldn't know if any were cancerous until running some tests. The following Friday, John was just about to conclude his traffic reporting shift. He had one more update to do at 5:58pm. His cellphone rang at 5:56. It was his oncologist. He didn't want to answer this call because he was about to go on the air, but he also didn't want to wait until Monday to learn the test results. He took the call, and that's when he learned he had colon cancer, that he had one cancerous polyp. John Morrissey didn't hesitate and scheduled surgery in three weeks. The procedure was a success, but it caused tremendous pain to his stomach muscles. He rested another three weeks, but during that time, lying down, sitting down, standing up, anything involving his stomach muscles was very painful. However, the pain subsided and he was soon back at work, updating listeners on traffic conditions in and around Denver. John still needs to go in for colonoscopies every five years. Just about the only change in his routine is that he tries to keep his consumption of red meat and processed meats to a minimum. He has moved to Mazatlan, Mexico and enjoys a normal life hanging out at the beach. Additional Resources: Support Group: Colon Cancer Prevention Project: https://www.coloncancerpreventionproject.org
Send us Fan MailWatching your partner lose their health in real time changes everything and it can happen faster than most people realize. We're joined by Andrea and Dusty Sibley, who take us from the confusion of early symptoms and ER misdiagnoses to a full colectomy, ostomy life, and the J-pouch surgery path that finally got Dusty back to living the life he wants. Along the way, we talk about the weird moments that stick with you, like being told you “look like you're dying” when you're actually healing, or having to use a motorized grocery cart in your 40s because your body simply can't do more yet.Andrea shares what doesn't get asked often enough: what it's like to be the caregiver. We dig into the vows you don't think about until you're living them, the nurse-patient dynamic that can take over a marriage, parenting during long hospital stays, and the quiet trauma that caregivers carry while telling themselves they shouldn't feel that way. Dusty opens up about one of the scariest parts of his hospitalization: blood transfusions, why they felt terrifying at first, and how they became a turning point when his energy and color finally came back.Their story also explains why they started No Guts All Glory, a nonprofit supporting people with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and colon cancer through care packages for the hospital-to-home transition, plus kid-friendly ostomy bears and books that help families talk about what's happening. If you're searching for real talk on IBD, ostomy surgery, J-pouch recovery, colonoscopy fears, and invisible illness, this conversation brings both the hard truth and the hope.

Work smarter not harder is easy to say and hard to live, and stage 4 colorectal cancer survivor Tim McDonald had to get sick to learn it. In this Journal entry he reads what the last guest left him, agrees with half of it, and tells you plainly why the other half almost broke him.At the end of every episode of The Upgraded Man there is a physical journal. The guest reads what the last guest wrote, sits with it, and writes something for the man who comes next. Same book every time, passed hand to hand. No prep. No script.This week it is Tim McDonald. Six years ago an oncologist gave him three years to live. He is still here, and he hosts the Advocacy at Work podcast.The entry he read was left by Nate Spangle, founder of Get Indiana: "Dream so big it makes others uncomfortable and be the hardest worker in every room."Tim is all in on the first half. The second half he does not buy anymore, and he says so.Here is what is in this one:Why Tim McDonald says dream so big it makes others uncomfortable is right, and worth writing downWhy being the hardest worker in every room is the wrong goal, from a man who used to live itFirst in and last out of the office, and what all that effort actually got himWhy working smarter is not doing less, it is getting more doneThe question Tim wrote for the next guest, and why he thinks men in particular need to sit with itWhy most men never call the hard things they got through survivingQuestions this episode answersShould I be the hardest worker in the room? Tim McDonald says no. He was first in and last out for years, and all it did was burn him out and stress him out. Working smarter let him do more.What does work smarter not harder actually look like? Tim McDonald stopped measuring by hours in the office and started measuring by what got done. Smarter is more, without the burnout.What is a good journal prompt for men? Tim McDonald left this one: What is something you survived that you never called surviving? He says men do not like to admit they survived a lot, and that is exactly why the question matters.Find Tim at advocacyatwork.com and on LinkedIn at Tim A.

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.

In this episode, Leigh Ann welcomes Diana Salcido to share her deeply personal story of being diagnosed with stage 3C colon cancer after nearly a year of symptoms, medical dismissal, panic, abdominal pain, and an inner knowing that something was wrong. Diana walks listeners through the frightening path to diagnosis, including ER visits, being told she was simply anxious or constipated, an eventual bowel obstruction, emergency surgery, and the discovery that the cancer had spread to four lymph nodes. She also shares the complications that followed, including a leak, a second emergency surgery, an ileostomy, severe weight loss, pleural effusion, abscesses, additional surgery, and the loneliness of healing from injuries and trauma that others could not always see. Diana and Leigh Ann discuss the emotional toll of cancer, the difficulty of making treatment decisions amid conflicting medical opinions, and Diana's choice to pursue an integrative path guided by body intuition, discernment, and personalized support. The conversation explores the physical, emotional, and spiritual layers of healing, including trauma work, faith, rest, sunlight, diet changes, supplements, acupuncture, frequency therapies, and learning when to pivot based on what the body is communicating.Product Discount Codes + LinksHoolest: Website (Discount Code: THEACCRESCENT10)Froya Hair Care: Website (Link gives 10% off)Herbal Face Food: Website (Discount Code: LAL30)The Fullest: Website (discount code: LEIGH15)Episode LinksDiana's GoFundMeRelated EpisodesEp. 228: Dr. Lori Bouchard - The Missing Pieces in Cancer Care, Metabolism, Trauma, and Whole-Person HealingEp. 176: Leigh Ann Lindsey - How I Work with Cancer Patients to Address Emotional Root Causes to DiseaseWork w/Leigh AnnLearn: What is EVOX Therapy?Book: Schedule a Session or FREE Discovery CallMembership: What is The Healing Alchemy MembershipConnect w/Me & Learn MoreWebsiteInstagramTiktokYoutube

Taylor Dayne brings her good to our 250th episode. She's a Grammy-nominated, American Music Award-winning vocal powerhouse who has conquered the Top 20 on the Billboard Top 100 chart 17 times landing 7 times in the Top 10.Taylor's unbelievable career ascent has taken her from sold-out rock concerts to starring on Broadway in Aida to the semi-finals of the Masked Singer. In 2022, an unexpected diagnosis of colon cancer did little to slow her down and made her an advocate for promoting early detection and regular cancer screenings. We talk with Taylor about what drives her, how she chooses her songs (or if they choose her), and exactly what was that whole thing with Tig Notaro even about. This is a reunion of sorts as World Gone Good host, Steve, originally met Taylor at a mutual friend's last-minute cocktail hour in Santa Barbara. Funny how things work out, ain't it?

In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Kriben Govender (Founder of Nourishme Organics and host of the Gut Health Gurus Podcast) returns to the studio to share a significant life update. After a period of absence from social media and podcasting, Kriben reveals the "curveball" he was thrown in August 2025: a diagnosis of Stage 4 Colon Cancer [13:27]. Despite being a pillar of health and a leader in the gut health space, Kriben details his shocking journey from noticing early symptoms to discovering a 6cm tumour that had metastasised to his liver and lungs [17:19]. In this episode, Kriben and James discuss: The Diagnosis: The early signs Kriben initially overlooked and the harrowing moment he received his Stage 4 prognosis [14:20]. The Root Causes: Kriben's theories on how extreme stress [22:01] and gut dysbiosis [24:04] may have allowed the disease to take hold. The Global Search for Healing: Why Kriben chose to seek unconventional and targeted treatments in Germany, including dendritic cell vaccines [32:05] and trans-arterial chemo embolisation [28:56]. The Power of the Microbiome: The incredible story of how a faecal transplant from his wife [37:15] and specific dietary shifts led to a dramatic shrinkage of his tumours. A Message of Hope: How Kriben's tumours have shrunk from 6cm to approximately 1cm [45:08], and his mission to inspire others to become active participants in their own health journey [41:40]. Kriben shares his current state of remission, the importance of a positive mindset (the "placebo effect" of the mind) [52:13], and his commitment to returning to full health while continuing to support the Nourishme Organics community.

Trend in the rise of Colon Cancer, which is no longer an “old person's disease”. Why younger patients are being diagnosed at advanced stages. Dr. Kumar's Website: https://www.regionalcancercare.org/physicians/avishek-kumar-md/
Send us Fan MailHow dietary fatty acids regulate the initiation, propagation, and resolution of inflammation.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Parenteral nutrition history: IV nutrition evolved from soybean oil alone in the 1960s to complex blends including fish oil as the biology of ω-3s became understood.Three phases of inflammation: Initiation, propagation (driven by ω-6–derived prostaglandins and leukotrienes), and active resolution (driven by ω-3-derived resolvins and protectins).Pro-resolving mediators: Resolution is an active biological process, not passive; EPA and DHA generate resolvins and protectins that actively terminate inflammation.Aspirin's ω-3 mechanism: Aspirin inhibits arachidonic acid metabolism but allows EPA/DHA to access COX-2, upregulating pro-resolution mediators — a likely underappreciated mechanism of action.Cell membrane competition: EPA and DHA physically displace arachidonic acid in membranes, shifting the balance of mediators produced and improving resolution capacity.Linoleic acid & EPA synthesis: High linoleic acid intake saturates shared desaturase enzymes, inhibiting the body's conversion of ALA to EPA — meaning reducing ω-6 can raise ω-3 levels without supplementation.Dose & timing of ω-3 incorporation: ~2g/day of EPA+DHA shifts the arachidonic acid-to-EPA ratio enough to measurably reduce prostaglandin E2 production; white blood cells reflect changes within a month.ABOUT THE GUEST: Philip Calder, PhD is Professor of Nutritional Immunology in the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Southampton. His research focuses on how dietary fatty acids — particularly omega-3s — modulate immune responses and inflammatory processes across clinical and healthy populations.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 200: Dietary Fats & Seed Oils in Inflammation, Colon Cancer & Chronic Disease | Tim Yeatman & Ganesh HaladeSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners:AquaTru: Water filtration devices that remove microplastics, metals, bacteria, and more from your drinking water.

Colon cancer is no longer just a concern for older adults. More and more younger people are being diagnosed — often at later stages. In this episode, I sit down with board-certified medical oncologist Dr. Avishek Kumar to talk about why this shift is happening and what people need to start paying attention to. We explore how symptoms are often dismissed or misdiagnosed, the patterns he's seeing firsthand, and the critical warning signs that should never be ignored. This is a conversation about awareness, advocacy, and learning how to listen to your body before small signals become bigger concerns. In this episode, we discuss: Why colon cancer is increasing in younger adults The "too young" mindset that delays diagnosis Symptoms that are often overlooked or minimized The importance of early detection How to start advocating for your health If something feels off in your body, it's worth paying attention to.

What do high-performance fighter jets and a stage four cancer diagnosis have in common? More than you think. This week, we're joined by Dr. Avishek “Avi” Kumar, a man who pulls double duty as both a practicing oncologist and a U.S. Air Force Flight Surgeon. Avi spends his time breaking the sound barrier in F-16s and fighting the "slow-motion car crash" of cancer diagnoses in young adults. We dive into the "too young" trap: why 30-year-olds are increasingly being hit with colon cancer and why the "warning lights" are being ignored. From the G-force toll on the body to the "caliber" of your poop (yes, Avi uses military terms for dookie) this episode is about unlearning the shame that is quite literally killing us.

Colorectal cancer has long been thought of as a disease of older folks. But that's changing — fast. Rates in older people are actually going down, and more and more people under 50 are getting this disease. And a surprising number of them are dying from it. So what's going on here?
