Jane McLelland: The “Metabolic Cocktail” Approach to Starving Cancer + The McLelland Metro Map™ (Featured on Cancer Breakthroughs 3.0 Summit 2025)

Featured on Cancer Breakthroughs 3.0 Summit 2025 — Jane McLelland is a four-time cancer survivor, former Chartered Physiotherapist, and the internationally bestselling author of How to Starve Cancer. After facing stage IV cervical cancer and later treatment-induced myelodysplasia (a pre-leukemia condition), Jane dove into decades of research to decode cancer metabolism and build a practical framework patients and clinicians can understand. Often called a “modern-day Cancer Sherlock Holmes,” she's best known for the McLelland Metro Map™—a visual guide to the fuel pathways cancers use to survive and adapt.In this conversation, Jane explains why cancer is a “shapeshifter” and why single-solution thinking (one drug, one supplement, one diet) often falls short. She breaks down the logic behind her “Metabolic Cocktail” strategy—combining diet, movement, supplements, and carefully selected low-toxicity repurposed drugs to synergistically block multiple cancer fuel routes (glucose, glutamine, and fat pathways). You'll also hear her cautionary take on DIY trends and oversimplified protocols, plus how tools like PET imaging, gene expression insights, and even AI can help personalize a more nuanced, adaptable plan.Most importantly, Jane offers a mindset shift: cancer treatment isn't a static one-time choice—it's an evolving strategy. If you've ever wondered how to “think metabolically,” ask better questions, and understand the why behind integrative combinations (including where keto can help—and where it can backfire), this episode gives you a clearer map and a smarter way forward.Key Topics CoveredWhy cancer behaves like a “shapeshifter” and adapts when one pathway is blockedThe core idea behind the McLelland Metro Map™ and metabolic “fuel routing”Jane's Metabolic Cocktail philosophy: synergy across diet, exercise, supplements, and repurposed drugsThe overlooked role of glutamine and fat metabolism—not just glucose—in cancer fuelingHow keto can help early for some people, and how it may drive resistance pathways later for othersRepurposed drug principles Jane discusses (e.g., metformin-style glucose control, statins, anti-inflammatories, anti-platelet concepts) and why combinations matterUsing tools like PET scans (and the limitations when cancers shift fuels) to understand metabolic activityStrategies and cautions around blocking glutamine uptake (and why receptor-level targeting matters)A practical overview of ferroptosis: GPX4 vs. cysteine/glutathione pathways and why pulsing mattersThe importance of doctor oversight, personalization, and avoiding extreme “one-size-fits-all” DIY protocols -----------------------------------------------A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1 Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2-----------------------------------------------Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Aimee Goodwin is a certified Life Coach and Emotional Resilience Trainer, motivational speaker, and the award-winning author of The Mountains We Climb. She's also the founder of New Hope Wellness in Alexandria, Minnesota. After a devastating, years-long battle with neurological Lyme disease—marked by crushing pain, fatigue, and progressive loss of function—Aimee fought her way back to health and has since dedicated her work to helping others find hope, direction, and practical tools to move forward.In this episode, Aimee shares what it's really like to go from “perfectly healthy” to suddenly living in survival mode—and then spending years searching for answers while tests come back “normal.” She walks through her diagnosis journey, the rigor of treatment, and the moment support groups changed everything—reducing isolation, restoring hope, and helping people fight longer and better. You'll also learn the mental resilience strategies she used when symptoms were overwhelming: getting out of your own head by serving others, reframing intense Herx reactions, focusing on what you can control, and building a support system that protects your emotional health.Whether you're battling Lyme, chronic illness, or simply navigating a hard season, this conversation is a reminder that progress is possible—and that small mindset shifts, community, and consistent advocacy can become the turning point that helps you keep going.Key Topics CoveredAimee's rapid onset into severe symptoms and the “everything looks normal” diagnostic trapNeurological Lyme signs: nerve, muscle, joint involvement, and loss of functionWhy Lyme treatment is rigorous—and why it's not a quick “take antibiotics and move on” illnessThe emotional toll of chronic illness: isolation, shame, guilt, and being misunderstood because you “look fine”The power of support groups and community in recovery and mental endurancePractical resilience tools: getting out of your head by helping others, and reframing pain as progressControlling what you can: rest, nutrition, detox support, communication with your care teamHow brain inflammation can drive anxiety/depression—and why self-validation mattersThe importance of advocacy: don't stop searching, pivot when needed, and find the right provider/teamBuilding integrative care under one roof: why New Hope Wellness was created and what it solves for patients _______________________________The Karlfeldt Center offers the most cutting-edge and comprehensive Lyme therapies.

In this conversation, Keira and I talk about how to start this year in a way that actually matches real life, real energy, and real healing. We go deep on integrity, self-trust, cycles (in nature + in your body), and the mindset shifts that turn “starting over” into steady momentum.In this episode, we talk about:Why “New Year, New You” hits hardest in the coldest, darkest season—and why that mattersThe idea that a 500-year-old calendar system isn't a good blueprint for motivation (Gregorian calendar history) Encyclopedia Virginia+2HISTORY+2Why most people quit early—and how to stop making that mean something about you.The real foundation: integrity with yourself (and why overcommitting breaks self-trust)“Your pace is allowed to be your pace”—and how cycles apply to reinventionA mindset experiment that shows how your brain “fills in the gaps” based on what you focus onPrayer/gratitude as a frequency shift (moving from “please help me” to “thank you, it's already here”)The rules that shaped my life (Bob Parsons' “16 Rules”) and the ones that still guide me today Bob ParsonsGentle content note: This episode includes discussion of suicidal ideation and mental health struggles.What to do after listening (simple action steps):Instead of a January overhaul, choose one tiny “Kaizen” move you can repeat daily.

What happens when a passion for fitness meets a deep curiosity about the human mind, and a refusal to ignore what's really going on beneath the surface? In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant Dr Charlotte Ord, and honestly… this conversation is one every woman (and parent) needs to hear.Charlotte shares her fascinating journey, from being naturally sporty, studying psychology, teaching fitness, owning multiple gyms, releasing a fitness DVD and even appearing on TV, to realising that what really got in people's way wasn't motivation or discipline, but was actually mindset, self-image, and mental health.As her clients increasingly opened up about their struggles, Charlotte recognised a responsibility to do more. With the support of her incredible team (who kept her gyms running), she stepped away from the day-to-day and went on to complete her Doctorate in Psychology, a decision she credits with fully aligning her with her purpose. Today, she feels empowered, energised, and deeply connected to the work she does. This is so clear as she talks! It's obvious how passionate she is about her work and that it fuels her, not only professionally but on a personal level too.We talk openly and honestly about:Body confidence, self-image, and why how we talk about our bodies really mattersThe impact our words have on our children, both positively and negativelyThe dangers of media messaging and unrealistic “healthy body” idealsHow diet culture fuels disillusionment, shame, and poor mental healthRecognising red flags around inner dialogue and disordered eatingProtecting your energy, setting boundaries, and checking if your life actually feels alignedGrounding techniques and carving out time for yourself (without guilt)Defining your own version of success, in a realistic, healthy and compassionate wayCharlotte also shares practical tools she's seen work powerfully with her clients to boost self-worth, regain a sense of control, and step away from perfectionism.This is a fascinating, compassionate, and empowering conversation with a woman who truly lives her purpose, and one that will absolutely make you pause, reflect, and rethink how you speak to (and about) yourself. And what's so important here is that not only is she teaching us the ways in which we speak to ourselves, she is so invested in making sure that we are passing on these skills and self awareness to the next generation too

That sense of grief, reflection, and uncertainty can be especially heavy during the holidays. But you are allowed to set limits. To say no. To opt out of conversations or events. You are not selfish for protecting your peace.Whether it is preparing a few phrases for difficult family questions, giving yourself permission to decline invites, or joining a support group for the first time, do whatever helps you feel grounded.And if you need a glimmer of hope, plan something just for you.

How can I adapt? How can this serve my creativity instead of killing it?This episode is about choice — fear or curiosity — and why one leads to stagnation while the other leads to opportunity.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott respond to an Independent article exploring whether undiagnosed ADHD increases the likelihood of young people going missing — and why headlines like this often oversimplify a much deeper issue. Jordan shares raw, personal stories of repeatedly running away as a child and how abuse, zero support, and misinterpretation shaped his behaviour — not ADHD itself. Simon unpacks why articles tend to blame neurodivergence rather than the environmental failures, lack of safeguarding, and lack of understanding that actually create crisis responses.Together, they discuss:Why “ADHD made me run away” is an oversimplificationHow unsupported neurodivergent kids end up in crisisSensationalist headlines vs. lived realityThe role of schools, police, and mental health servicesHow mislabelling kids as “naughty” shapes lifelong self-worthWhy early identification and whole-profile neurodivergent understanding mattersThe urgent need for empathy-driven support systemsThis is a validating and eye-opening conversation for anyone who grew up misunderstood — and for anyone working with vulnerable neurodivergent young people today.Our Sponsors:

Send us a textMost people donate because they want to help. Few ever find out what actually happens to their money. Philanthropy has a trust problem. Nonprofits have a transparency problem. Donors want clarity but rarely get it. And donor-advised funds have become a quiet holding place for billions of untapped charitable capital.After fifteen years working inside philanthropy, Sarah Angello could not ignore the friction anymore. She saw the outdated systems. She saw the lost potential. She saw how giving had become complicated when it should feel meaningful.So she left a stable career, stepped into tech, and cofounded Daffodil, a fintech platform designed to rebuild trust in the nonprofit sector by making charitable giving transparent, simple, and accessible.In this conversation, Sarah explains the gap no one was addressing, how donor-advised funds actually work, why impact reporting is broken, and how she is solving a systemic problem with zero-burden, real-time data.

He unpacks a hard truth many avoid: results are not guaranteed, and tying your identity to them creates desperation and bad decisions. Instead, build a career around love of the craft, alignment, and service to the song. Along the way, DK contrasts winning vs loving the game through Michael Jordan and Shohei Ohtani, explores ikigai and Japanese craftsmanship, pokes holes in hustle without purpose, and explains why the illusion of control shows up in studio superstitions. The practical takeaway is simple and difficult at once: enjoy the work, separate from the outcome, and your best mixes follow.What you will learnHow detaching from results reduces fear and improves decisionsWhen grit helps and when to keep your head down and take the hitWhy “use your ears” remains the only answer that mattersThe role of ritual and superstition in performance psychologyWhy craft comes first and money follows as a consequence SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

And I want to share those with you.A number of my clients have said to me in the last few days, give us a reason for optimism. How are you feeling about this? And each time I've had this conversation, I've gotten clearer about exactly what the big things were that represented major shifts.  I believe these shifts are reasons to get really excited about the rising power of a vast majority of people in this country who do not agree with what is happening. Who feel very strongly about it, and who are willing to go to the ballot box and make their voices heard. This election was the first opportunity for voters to weigh in on things since the 2024 elections. And boy did they have a lot to say. In this episode, we share:What the pollsters missed that made a huge differenceThe two most significant factors that drove voters' shift to blueThe most important thing that didn't happen, and why it mattersThe two most critical groups of voters who shifted strongly in our favor, and whyWhy the right's attempts at additional gerrymandering may backfire on themThe very surprising data point that tells us how many strong allies we haveWhat Nonprofit leaders can do to help fight voter suppression and ensure all eligible clients can make their voices heard in the next elections Links:Episode 54 – How to Help the People You Serve Make Their Voices Heard at the Ballot BoxEpisode 62 – How Your Nonprofit can Help Your Clients Register to Vote in the 2024 ElectionsEpisode 66 – How to Help Your Clients Make Sure Their Vote CountsHelp spread the word!

Have you ever ordered something online that looked perfect in the description, only to be completely disappointed when it arrived? Or struggled to explain to a sales associate exactly what you're looking for? Today, I'm sharing why building your style vocabulary is one of the most practical things you can do to make shopping easier, faster, and so much more successful.After 25 years of dressing women, I've seen how knowing the right words transforms the entire style experience. When you can name what you're looking for—whether it's a split v-neck blouse or palazzo pants—you stop wasting time, money, and mental energy on clothes that don't work. This episode breaks down why fluency in fashion terminology isn't about memorizing a dictionary—it's about empowering yourself to get the wardrobe you actually want.In this episode, you'll discover:The three compelling reasons why style vocabulary mattersThe essential categories of style terms that cover everythingMy favorite "vocabulary building in the wild" tactics that turn regular shopping trips into effortless learning opportunitiesThe critical difference between just knowing words and knowing how to USE themWhy retailers play fast and loose with definitions—and how to use this knowledge to your advantage I hope this episode helps you see that becoming style-fluent isn't about perfection or knowing every single term out there. It's about giving yourself the tools to communicate what you want, find what you need, and recreate looks that make you feel amazing. Most importantly, you'll spend less time in those frustrating "nothing looks good on me" spirals and more time feeling confident in clothes that truly work for your body and lifestyle. Don't forget to submit your end-of-season style questions here.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/ep-223
