Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne is joined by nutrition and wellness pro Jacqui Bryan for a lively (and often hilarious) chat about the real deal with chia seeds. After reminiscing about those classic 1970s Chia Pet commercials, they answer the burning question: are chia pets and chia seeds in your pudding the same thing, and can you actually eat them? (Short answer: don't eat your Chia Pet!) Jacqui breaks down why chia seeds have become so trendy, their ancient superfood roots, and how they can boost your health, especially if you're living with or recovering from cancer.Jacqui Bryan brings a wealth of knowledge as a certified nutrition specialist, health coach, RN, and functional medicine expert. Her passion is helping people feel their best using real, tasty foods and practical tips that actually fit real life. Jacqui's advice isn't just about nutrition science; she and Saranne always make it approachable and fun.“It has a lot of staying power because chia seeds have protein, fat and fiber in them, which helps with blood sugar balance.” ~Jacqui BryanToday on Beating Cancer Daily:· Chia seeds should not be eaten from Chia Pets, as those seeds are chemically treated and not intended for consumption. · Chia seeds are rich in antioxidants like quercetin and chlorogenic acid, promoting heart and liver health. · Chia seeds contain anti-cancer properties that make them valuable in a cancer-fighting diet. · They are an excellent source of soluble fiber, aiding detoxification and supporting weight management. · Chia seeds are rich in plant-based omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for gut health, and essential for the body. · These tiny seeds support blood sugar regulation and provide lasting energy due to their protein, fat, and fiber content. · Chia pudding is an easy, adaptable way to incorporate chia seeds into the diet; using the correct proportions and giving the mixture enough time to set overnight prevents clumping and unpleasant textures. · Toppings like berries, nuts, coconut flakes, and nut butters can enhance both the nutrition and enjoyment of chia pudding.Guest Contact Information: Website: https://jacquibryan.com 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series FinalistRanked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025,and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025.

Are you living your best life now? Not always? This is a podcast for you. Duke Professor Kate Bowler is an expert in the stories we tell about success and failure, suffering and happiness. She had Stage IV cancer. Then she didn’t. And since then, all she wants to do is talk to funny and wise people about how to live with the knowledge that, well, everything happens. The pandemic introduced many to living with uncertainty. But for some, uncertainty has always been their norm. In this episode, Kate speak to actress Nikki Deloach, who has starred in several Hallmark Christmas movies, but her life hasn’t matched the happily-ever-after plot-lines of her characters. Nikki’s dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of dementia and her son was diagnosed with congenital heart defects in utero… all in the same week. In this conversation, Kate and Nikki discuss how to live with constant uncertainty, how to stay open to both the terror and the beauty of living close to the edge, and how to make Christmas meaningful when hope is hard to come by.

Beating Cancer Daily with Saranne Rothberg ~ Stage IV Cancer Survivor
Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne explores the big question so many cancer patients ask: “Do I have to give up coffee?” Joined by certified nutrition specialist Jacqui Bryan, she shares stories about personal caffeine habits, from Saranne's love for dark chocolate to moments of accidental caffeine overload. Jacqui explains what caffeine actually is, where it hides in foods and drinks, and why each person's reaction, especially during cancer treatment, can be unique. The conversation touches on how caffeine may affect sleep, anxiety, and metabolism, discusses its benefits and potential risks, and provides practical advice for making informed choices while navigating cancer care. With relatable humor and actionable steps, this episode is for anyone feeling uncertain about caffeine, whether they're in active treatment or supporting a loved one. Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, and registered nurse. With extensive experience supporting cancer patients on their wellness journeys, Jacqui brings in-depth knowledge of nutrition and holistic health to Beating Cancer Daily. Her compassionate approach and evidence-based guidance help listeners make empowered decisions about food, lifestyle, and self-care. "There are studies that show some cognitive benefits for caffeine...caffeine intake was associated with a reduced risk of cognitive impairment and dementia in older adults." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:· Caffeine is a natural stimulant found not just in coffee but also in tea, chocolate, and some foods like mole and energy drinks.· The effects of caffeine vary widely from person to person due to genetics, sensitivity, and health factors.· Moderation is key; up to 400mg of caffeine per day is generally considered safe for adults, but may be too much for some and less appropriate in cancer care.· Caffeine can enhance alertness, focus, and even offer cognitive benefits, but may also worsen anxiety and disrupt sleep, which is vital for healing.· There are conflicting studies regarding caffeine's impact on cancer risk; some show benefits for certain cancers, while others do not.· Coffee roasting creates acrylamide, a potential carcinogen, and choosing organic coffee can lower exposure to harmful chemicals in soil.· Caffeine in chocolate and other treats can sneak into the diet and, if consumed late or in high amounts, potentially affect sleep and well-being.· Pay attention to your body's response and always consult your medical team when making dietary changes during cancer treatment or recovery. 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series FinalistRanked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025,and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025.

A stage-IV metastatic melanoma diagnosis is often delivered with words like incurable and life-limiting. In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with Kevin Donaghy, an IT consultant from Melrose, Scotland, who has lived more than six years beyond his diagnosis—and transformed his personal cancer journey into a global mission of hope. Through his lived experience and the revolutionary impact of immunotherapy, Kevin offers rare insight into what it truly means to navigate advanced cancer with courage, honesty, and humanity.Kevin shares the emotional realities of being told his cancer was medically incurable, the isolation and fear that followed, and how finding community during COVID lockdowns became a turning point for his mental health.

"If you're going to choose to drink wine, then choose a sulfite-free wine or even try a product that will remove some of the histamines and some of the sulfites." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:· Sulfite sensitivity can develop at any time during your life, even if you've previously consumed sulfites without issue.· Cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation may heighten sensitivity to sulfites and other additives.· Sulfites are not just in wine but also in dried fruit, fruit juices, jams, jellies, potato products, breads, and more.· People with asthma are at increased risk for sulfite sensitivity, and 5% of asthmatic individuals may be affected.· Symptoms of sulfite sensitivity include headaches, dizziness, wheezing, hives, difficulty swallowing, and even anaphylactic reactions.· Sulfite sensitivity is distinct from a true allergy, and there are no reliable medical tests for it; elimination diets can help identify triggers.· Reading food and drink labels for sulfite-containing additives (like sulfur dioxide and sodium bisulfite) is key for those concerned.· Working with a registered nutrition professional and informing your medical team can help tailor dietary approaches to sulfite sensitivities. 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025,and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in over 130 countries across 7 continents and features over 390 original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.
