My friend Kim loves crime stories from Crime Junkie to Dateline.
Me? Not so much.
But I enjoy a good, not-too-gory crime story where the bad guy gets it in the end.
Since I'm part of a vast cancer community, I hear stories that encourage me and some that make me so upset that I can't sleep.
This is one of those stories.
In 1898, Pierre and Madam Curie discovered radium.
In 1903, Pierre Curie said, "He would not care to be alone with radium in a room as it would burn all the skin off his body, destroy his eyesight, and probably kill him."
In the 1920s, young women (average age 14) were hired to paint radium on watches and clock dials. Radium was fluorescent, so it made the numbers easier to read. However, it was also incredibly toxic and could turn bones into a fragile honeycomb.
Fast forward to New Jersey in 1920 to the U.S. Radium Corporation (USRC).
The owners and scientists at USRC knew that radium in large amounts was very dangerous. Yet these young girls were told, "After you dip your paintbrush in radium, put the tip in your mouth to make it a finer point before you start painting."
When I told my husband how many of these young women died from radium poisoning, he said, "This is murder."
Yes, it was murder. But no one went to jail. However, these women did get their revenge.

Ground Luxe
When I was forced into menopause with my cancer diagnosis, restful sleep NO LONGER HAPPENED FOR ME.
One of my podcast guests shared that he has become a great sleeper, partly thanks to grounding sheets.
After my skepticism passed, my desperation to sleep took over. I started reading articles, and I discovered that the science is solid. Studies have shown that participants using grounding sheets experience a significant drop in cortisol levels, leading to improved sleep quality and reduced stress.
What did I have to lose? I researched, found the best grounding sheets on the market for the best price, and bought them.
It took me a few nights, but I sleep much deeper now. I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed! I wish someone had told me about these sheets years ago.
I contacted the company, and they offered my community a 20% discount!

Toups and Co
It's happened...I'm putting beef tallow on my face, and my skin looks lush, and it doesn't smell like a hamburger :)
I've seen the TikTok videos about beef tallow. I avoided trying it because it sounded like I'd be putting grease on my face.
Enough people asked me about it, so I started reading more information and trying out various tallows.
There was one company that stood out to me.
I feel like I hit a home run with the brand Toups and Co.
I first heard of this brand on a friend's podcast (Holistic Hilda with the Weston A Price Foundation). She interviewed the founder, Emily Toups. She was a mom looking for a solution to her child's skin issues. She was frustrated with the lack of progress with drugstore and prescription meds, so she reached out to a local farmer for tallow.
The rest, as they say, is history. Her daughter is healed, and my skin looks great, haha!
Thank you, Toups Family, for making such excellent products and offering my community a 15% discount.
I'm currently using:
Frankincense Skim Balm
Blue Tansy Body Oil
The Nourishing Skin Care Set (this includes skin balm, body oil, tinted lip chap, and a tallow bar—and it's on sale!).
Deodorant - it really works!

Martinelli Apple Cider
I like having a cocktail with girlfriends. And before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I never gave it a second thought. Alcohol was part of my social life, or I'd have a glass of wine on a flight to chill out.
Recent research has made me rethink my choices. Research shared by the Susan G. Komen Center tells us that each cocktail I consume can increase my breast cancer risk by 7%. And 2-3 drinks per day can increase my risk by 20%.
This is why I always have Martinelli Apple Cider on hand. It's my favorite Mocktail! 🍏✨

Oh, if I had a time machine and could return to when our kids were young, I would.
I made my life complicated because I made our meals complicated.
Let me explain: I became a mom at 40. I married Steve, who had two precious (most of the time ) daughters. So, I became an instant mom to two preteens, and as a bonus, I could finally use my nutrition training on my family. Hmmm...do you see any potential problems?
I would make elaborate, nutrient-dense multi-course meals. These meals were so much work that I was almost too tired to eat or clean the kitchen.
When the kids complained that the lunches I packed could feed three of their friends, it didn't faze me a bit.
But they were so much work!
We would order pizza if I was running late from work and couldn't make the elaborate meals. I couldn't seem to find the middle ground.
As I shared this story with today's podcast guest, Dr. Tabatha Barber, she explained that most of her meals can be put together in 20 minutes or less—I say YES to that idea!
Dr. Tabatha is the author of Fast To Faith, a best-selling book that contains her 20-minute or less recipes.

111. Negative Thinking: Does It Affect Quality of Life? Part 1
Thursday Apr 03, 2025
Thursday Apr 03, 2025
What a treat to have Dr. Tabatha Barber, author of the best-selling book Fast To Faith, on the podcast.
She explained that our bodies function like a chemistry experiment. When we think in a certain way, we produce chemicals that can have positive or negative effects.
I don't know about you, but I do find it shocking that the thoughts I think can create chemical messengers in my body that can heal me or harm me.
You have so much more power than you realize!
We also discussed a topic near and dear to my heart, JOY.
Where's your joy? If we put everyone else first, that will steal your happiness.
Dr. T. explained that we get caught up in the lie that taking care of ourselves is selfish. She said that she felt God tell her that caring for herself wasn't selfish but SELF PRESERVATION.
Dr. Tabatha shared simple tips that can help you to change your mindset and increase your daily joy.
Please enjoy part one of this conversation and join us next week when we talk about 20-minute or less dinners, fasting, and her lifelong battle with depression.

In today’s episode, we are joined by my naturopathic oncologist, Dr. Laura James.
As you listen to our discussion, it's essential to acknowledge the whirlwind that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. For many, including myself, the speed at which treatment unfolds can be both a blessing and a challenge. The urgency of medical intervention, coupled with the support of excellent health insurance and the unique circumstances of the COVID-19 era, can lead to a swift entry into what is commonly referred to as the breast cancer industrial complex.
But what exactly does this term mean? It's a new concept that encompasses medical advancements, institutional processes, and societal expectations surrounding cancer treatment. While grateful for the prompt attention and care received, there's an underlying need to address the implications of this fast-paced medical industry.
For me, and perhaps for many others, navigating the breast cancer industrial complex has raised questions about agency, reflection, and informed decision-making. The speed at which decisions are made can sometimes overshadow the opportunity for thorough consideration, prayer, and seeking second opinions—elements crucial to holistic well-being.
Together with Dr. James, we'll explore the importance of empowerment in the face of medical urgency, the role of advocacy in navigating treatment pathways, and the significance of holistic approaches to cancer care.

109. Does Alcohol Cause Cancer?
Thursday Mar 20, 2025
Thursday Mar 20, 2025
Buckle up for today's episode with The Oncology Dietician, Nichole Andrews.
I like having cocktails with girlfriends. And before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I never gave it a second thought. Alcohol was part of my social life, or I'd have a glass of wine on a flight to chill out.
Recent research has made me rethink my choices. Research shared by the Susan G. Komen Center tells us that each cocktail I consume can increase my breast cancer risk by 7%. And 2-3 drinks per day can increase my risk by 20%.
I work too damn hard on my health to increase my breast cancer risk by 20% for something I often do mindlessly.
Does this mean I don't drink any alcohol? NOPE.
This means that if I really want that glass of wine, I will make an informed decision and enjoy every sip.
The "old" me would have grabbed the wine and probably a second glass without considering what it might be doing inside my body.
According to today's guest, she believes there are only two things that we consume that can really increase our risk of getting cancer.
Alcohol is one. Any guesses as to what number two is?

108. I Wish I Would Have Known! My Key 2024 Takeaways
Thursday Mar 13, 2025
Thursday Mar 13, 2025
I wish I could have a "do-over" in two areas of my life:
Prioritizing my morning schedule
Speaking positively about situations or people instead of negatively.
When my morning routine is off, the rest of my day suffers. I've FINALLY learned to listen to my inner voice, which advises me to take it slow in the morning instead of jumping straight into emails and calls.
I give three tips on starting my day on today's podcast.
Here's a sneak peek at one of my tips:
TURN OFF THE LOUD ALARM ON YOUR PHONE.
Hearing a loud noise while sleeping immediately puts your body into a stressful situation. Your blood pressure and heart rate increase, and your body starts making stress hormones. It can take hours for your body to calm down.
Instead, I found some gentle instrumental music and used that as my alarm sound.
This simple morning hack has added much-needed calmness to my morning, and I find that relaxed "vibe" spills over into the rest of my day.
Winning!
Confession time:
I'm not always upbeat and cheery. Shocking, huh?
I find that when my stress level goes up, my mindset and attitude get a little, well, poopy.
Last week, I decided to spend a week making only positive statements.
Guess what? It was a little quiet around my house because I wasn't complaining about the world, news, my recent breast reconstruction, you name it.
I learned a valuable lesson: sometimes, when I want to connect with my husband after work, it's easier to default to negative.
UGH, help me. I'm a work in progress, but I am learning.
Listen to today's short solo episode to learn more of my simple tips for encouraging yourself and lowering your morning stress levels.
Seriously, these tips work!

107. Oprah Super Soul Guest, Kris Carr's Courageous Journey. (Re-Release)
Thursday Mar 06, 2025
Thursday Mar 06, 2025
I first saw Kris on The Oprah Winfrey Show years ago, long before I was diagnosed with cancer.
Kris has been living with stage four incurable cancer for twenty-one years. She has tumors inside of her body, and yet she can still love and appreciate her body.
Do you struggle to love your body?
I think about how I've had a love/hate relationship with my body throughout my life.
That's a long time without being in a constant state of appreciation for the body God gave me.
Kris told me she is a difficult person and has to work to approach life from a place of love—love for other people and love for herself, her whole self, tumors, and all.
I don't have to tell you how much strength it takes to face each day with LOVE, all while having an incurable form of cancer.
If there's one podcast you listen to this week, this is it.
About Kris Carr
Kris Carr is a beacon of hope, resilience, and wellness leadership. As a New York Times bestselling author and esteemed wellness advocate, Kris Carr has defied the odds, thriving with stage IV cancer for over two decades.
Throughout her remarkable journey, Kris has not only survived but thrived, embodying the very essence of living life to the fullest. With each passing year, she has gleaned invaluable lessons about self-care and the profound impact one can make on the world.
Driven by a deep sense of purpose, Kris has made it her mission to share these insights with millions across the globe. Through her books, talks, and online platforms, she has become a guiding light for those navigating their health challenges, offering practical wisdom and unwavering support.
With grace and courage, Kris Carr has reshaped the narrative around illness, proving that adversity can be transformed into opportunity and that every moment is a chance to embrace life's fullest potential.

I've seen the TikTok videos about beef tallow. I avoided trying it because it sounded like I'd be putting grease on my face.
Enough people asked me about it, so I started reading more information and trying out various tallows.
There was one company that stood out to me.
I feel like I hit a home run with the brand Toups and Co.
I first heard of this brand on a friend's podcast (Holistic Hilda with the Weston A Price Foundation). She interviewed the founder, Emily Toups. She was a mom looking for a solution to her child's skin issues. She was frustrated with the lack of progress with drugstore and prescription meds, so she reached out to a local farmer for tallow.
The rest, as they say, is history. Her daughter is healed, and my skin looks great, haha!
Thank you, Toups Family, for making such excellent products and offering my community a 15% discount.
I'm currently using:
Frankincense Skim Balm
Blue Tansy Body Oil
The Nourishing Skin Care Set (this includes skin balm, body oil, tinted lip chap, and a tallow bar—and it's on sale!).
Deodorant - it really works!

106. Easy Work-Arounds to Improve Your Health! Part 2
Thursday Feb 27, 2025
Thursday Feb 27, 2025
HELP!
Reading labels takes a lot of time, and even with a science degree, I have a hard time figuring out what's good and what's bad.
If I'm struggling, I guess you are as well.
Food companies must convince you that their product is the best item on the supermarket shelves. Their marketing message is on the front, and the truth is on the back.
For example, I picked up a package of high-protein chips at Costco. The front of the package said, "made with the highest quality ingredients." Well, that's great. I flipped the bag over and saw they use canola, sunflower, and safflower oils. These oils are highly inflammatory AND highly processed, NOT GREAT.
I hate to say it, but you'll need to assume that most food companies are not going to tell you the truth.
It reminds me of that movie with Jack Nicholson and Diane Keeton, Something's Gotta Give. In it, he tells her, "I've always told you some version of the truth," and she responds, "The Truth Doesn't Have Versions!"
Unfortunately, there are many versions of the truth in the food world.
If you'd like some quick food hacks, my podcast guest, Keith Bishop, has plenty of them!
Keith is the guest that always shocks me, and he definitely did with today's episode. It's a shorter episode with loads of takeaways.

105. You Don't Have to be Perfect! Part 1
Thursday Feb 20, 2025
Thursday Feb 20, 2025
I don't know about you, but I don't like being told what to do.
Lately, online, I feel like the majority of the "wellness influencers" are yelling at me and telling me that most of my daily habits are going to hurt me.
Life is challenging enough!
How about this, can we move a bit slower? Maybe focus on changing a couple of habits or items a week instead of making me feel bad about eating out or buying a drink in an aluminium can.
This is why I loved my conversation with today's guest, Keith Bishop. He's a clinical nutritionist, cancer fighting coach and retired pharmacist.
This guy knows his research. In fact, he often shocks me with his knowledge! What I love about him is that while he tells me the truth about what's potentially harmful in the environment, he also PRESENTS SOLUTIONS of how to mitigate the impact.
I want the truth and easy solutions for a healthier body.
If you're frustrated like me, listen to today's podcast for Keith's simple life hacks to improve your environment, even if you eat out often or are just downright confused by all of the detoxing info out there!

Ground Luxe When I was forced into menopause with my cancer diagnosis, restful sleep NO LONGER HAPPENED FOR ME.
One of my podcast guests shared that he has become a great sleeper, partly thanks to grounding sheets.
After my skepticism passed, my desperation to sleep took over. I started reading articles, and I discovered that the science is solid. Studies have shown that participants using grounding sheets experience a significant drop in cortisol levels, leading to improved sleep quality and reduced stress.
What did I have to lose? I researched, found the best grounding sheets on the market for the best price, and bought them.
It took me a few nights, but I sleep much deeper now. I fall asleep faster and wake up feeling refreshed! I wish someone had told me about these sheets years ago.
I contacted the company, and they offered my community a 20% discount for February!https://groundluxe.com/deborahenosUse the code Enos20 for 20% off.
