In this thought-provoking episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Goodyear, a board-certified physician who left conventional oncology to become a pioneer in integrative cancer care. Together, they explore the limitations of traditional treatment models and why the current “war on cancer” mentality may be doing more harm than good.Dr. Goodyear opens up about his personal journey from a traditional medical background to becoming a patient himself—an experience that radically changed his approach to healing. He and Dr. Jenn unpack the deeper truths about cancer: its roots in immune dysfunction, the influence of lifestyle and environment, and the transformative power of epigenetics.This episode doesn't shy away from controversy—from the politicization of medicine to the potential of off-label and repurposed drugs like ivermectin and metformin. It's a bold, necessary conversation about empowering patients, reimagining cancer care, and building a future where treatment is rooted in innovation, integrity, and true healing.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Dr. Goodyear's personal health crisis inspired a complete shift in his approach to cancer care.The “fight” against cancer often becomes a fight against the body—integrative medicine aims to heal, not battle.Cancer is part of the immune system—understanding that changes everything.Cryoablation offers a powerful, less invasive alternative to surgery with promising outcomes.Lifestyle, stress, diet, and toxins play a critical role in cancer development and recurrence.Epigenetic changes can pass through generations, altering cancer risk.Mammograms may not be as protective as once believed—and may lead to overtreatment.The healthcare system often incentivizes drugs over real healing.Repurposed medications like metformin and ivermectin show powerful anti-cancer potential.The term “quack” is weaponized to discredit innovative doctors who challenge the norm.

The cultural changes we've seen in recent years might make us think that 21st-century etiquette is utterly different than the 20th century's. Yet the only difference is that when Gen Xers and Baby Boomers were growing up, it was okay to ignore or even ridicule certain groups of people.

Speaking up for ourselves and the causes we love is something we all need to face in life. However, many people avoid doing it because of the feeling of stress and anxiety that can come with it. How can we overcome the fear of speaking up while making our voices heard simultaneously? One of the best ways to accomplish this is through practice. You can start with something small in your everyday life. When you want to speak up for something, push yourself out of your comfort zone. Take a deep breath and tell yourself you are strong and capable and that your voice matter. Remember, sometimes in life, we must push ourselves out of our comfort zones and accept uncomfortable feelings to make great things happen.In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Damary Bonilla-Rodriguez.

Today, Dr. Jon Lieff joins us to discuss a fascinating topic: cells' secret language. What are they saying? Why should we pay attention to their conversation? How are they communicating?

A natural movement for children to assimilate what is happening in their lives is to link events to their own actions. For instance, kids will believe that their parents divorced because they were naughty. Those thoughts, those emotions will lead to us not feeling good enough or undeserving of certain things. Emotions are our first communicators; that is why it is essential to understand that children grieve too. Today, in the second part of our two-part interview with Dr. Shawn, we had a wonderful conversation about the deep connections established in the parents' relationship with their kids and, more specifically, in the mother-daughter relationship. We delve into the power and influence of a mother's voice over her daughter, the meaning built around the hug and how it can be associated with hurting, and the critical relevance of taking a pause to let feelings go through us. We also talk about paying attention to the physical response to emotions, the concept of mental wealth, the role of guilt as an invitation for reflection, and trauma's capacity to modify DNA.

A fortuituous defensive play at soccer cost young Kevin Stone his medial meniscus and his chances of succeeding at that sport. The injury also brought a massive disappointment to him since a surgeon he looked up to decided to remove his meniscus, which he can clearly see today wasn't the best option. With time, he would develop bow legs and the typical medial knee pain that comes with it.

Although many people see emotional intelligence as a soft skill, Dr. Stevie Dawn thinks the opposite; it is a hard skill for her. And she goes even further. Before anything, she stops and asks herself why her brain is pushing her in that direction? To Dr. Stevie, emotions are a byproduct of a hormonal response to a mental trigger, meaning every emotion has a thought behind it. To understand and have more control over our emotions, we need to step back a bit and look for the thought that triggered that emotion. Our guest, Dr. Stevie Dawn, is a Keynote Speaker, Consultant, Coach, Author, Corporate Trainer, and the CEO and Founder of Stevie Dawn Inspires, LLC. She helps those who have unrealized profits, un-lived aspirations, and underwhelming results. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Small Business Administration from Union University, a Master's Degree in Sociology from Wichita State University, and a Ph.D. in Community College Leadership from Colorado State University. In this episode, our conversation revolves around a different perspective of what emotional intelligence really is. We travel back in time to the moment Dr. Stevie decided to investigate more about emotional intelligence, a decision that would change her life. We learn to use our feelings to leverage our day rather than letting them put us down, and much more. We also analyze the different relationships men and women have with their emotions; we talk about our mantras, the enneagram, and much more.

Although the spiritual new age community believes strongly in the law of attraction, Dr. Alison J. Kay thinks it's tricky; she allows herself to believe that at least 10% of the things in life are random. Being in a car accident doesn't necessarily mean that we attracted difficulties our way.
