Could a simple change in diet hold the key to transforming pediatric cancer care?
Today, we have a truly special guest, Season Johnson, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner dedicated to working with pediatric patients. I discovered Season on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her compelling story and expertise.
Season’s own son was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and her family’s journey through this experience has shaped her mission to help others navigate the complexities of cancer treatment and nutrition.
In today’s episode, we dive into Season’s unique approach to nutritional therapy for children battling cancer. We’ll look at rising pediatric cancer rates and how environmental factors like food toxins and EMFs might play a role. Season also shares practical tips for parents, including the benefits of sunlight, outdoor play, and a balanced diet to create a healthier environment for their children.
Hit play and get inspired—because fighting cancer just got a whole lot smarter!
In this episode:
Season shares her son’s diagnosis with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
Season talks about her initial resistance to traditional medicine and how she balanced it with alternative treatments to support her son’s health.
Season opens up about the emotional rollercoaster her family experienced — from sleepless nights in the hospital to the constant worry about her son’s health.
“It was a choice I had to make: am I going to let this define me, cross my arms, and sit back as a victim of our circumstances, or am I going to step up, realize I have a role to play, and not be passive?” - Season
Studies show that environmental factors are a major contributor to cancer cases, including in kids, making up about 95-97% of cases. While genetics play a role in how we deal with toxins, the increased exposure to pollutants like electromagnetic fields from tech and various chemicals is a big concern.
Simple steps that parents can take now to create an environment for their kids where cancer cannot survive in.
How morning light affects our bodies’ natural healing rhythms.
Tips to manage nutrition for picky eaters during cancer treatment.
How activities like bouncing on a trampoline help with detoxification and waste removal in the body.
Season explains that while everyone produces cancer cells daily, whether these cells develop into tumors depends on our immune system and genetic predispositions. The good news is that 99% of these genetic variations can be influenced by our nutrition and detox efforts.
Season shares some key practices to ensure our detox pathways are functioning properly, including staying hydrated, regular bowel movements, and using a sauna.
Key nutritional benefits of organ meats for overall health and cancer support.
Creative ways to incorporate organ meat into your family’s diet, especially for kids.
What does "chemo-protective" mean in the context of foods and their effects on the body during cancer treatment?
How often should you replace the things you do to effectively reduce toxins and improve overall health?
How chlorella and chlorophyll protect us against radiation damage and support detoxification.
“God has given me this incredible ability, and it’s deeply rewarding. The pediatric cancer field may not be lucrative, but it offers the profound opportunity to give families hope. Having walked this path myself years ago, it is an honor to turn that experience into a source of hope and support for others.” - Season
Season highlights the vital role of community during cancer treatment.
About Season Johnson
Season Johnson is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Founder of The KICKcancER Movement, and a cancer mom who transitioned from having one child with cancer to supporting thousands worldwide. After her son’s cancer diagnosis at age two and enduring a 3.5-year battle with daily chemotherapy and numerous surgeries, she developed an unwavering mission to help others thrive through cancer using real food, supplementation, detoxification, and environmental adjustments.
She has received the Weston A. Price Foundation Activist Award and the Children’s Health Advocate Award from the Nutritional Therapy Association for her work with pediatric cancer. In 2019, she earned the doTERRA Elevation Award for her commitment to aiding families through cancer via her non-profit, The KICKcancER Movement.
Season has also served as the Health and Wellness Expert for the Oscars and collaborated with the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Braves, and Washington Nationals to integrate natural solutions into their healing protocols. Through private nutrition coaching, online programs, speaking engagements, and a podcast, she continues to educate and empower others to use real food and healthy living principles to achieve vibrant health and thrive through cancer.

85. Do We Need To Stop Burning Candles The Truth About EDCs. (RE-RELEASE)
Thursday Aug 22, 2024
Thursday Aug 22, 2024
What are EDCs and why should you care about them?
Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are a group of compounds that, despite being unnoticeable, have the potential to disrupt the delicate balance of our endocrine system. These seemingly harmless substances are part of our daily lives, from the products we use to the food we consume. EDCs lurk in unexpected places, impacting hormonal functions and, consequently, our overall well-being.
I’ve invited environmental toxins and green living expert Deborah de Moulpied onto the show to give us the 411 on all things EDCs.
Stick around to learn where these toxic chemicals are hiding in our daily lives and how we can minimize our exposure.

I have to admit, I was a bit confused when I first heard today's topic—grounding. Sure, I walk on grass and dip my toes in lakes, but I didn’t quite grasp the full picture.
Luckily, our guest, Dr. Henry Ealy, is here to enlighten us. He’s a naturopathic physician with a background in engineering, making him the perfect guide to explore grounding’s deeper benefits.
Dr. Ealy explains how we spend most of our day insulated from Mother Earth, missing out on the benefits of connecting with nature by walking barefoot or swimming in a lake. One fascinating benefit he mentions is improved sleep through grounding. He also talks about something called Zeta potential, which involves red blood cells moving more freely when we're grounded. He even called grounding “nature’s Coumadin” due to its blood-thinning effects.
You really need to tune in to get the full scoop. I've been diving into the research and science he shared, and I must say, I'm hooked. I absolutely loved today's episode, and I think you will too.

I LOVE HIGH-QUALITY PROTEIN.
Years ago, I had no clue what I was doing in the kitchen. I asked my chef friend, Gina, "How do you make chicken taste better?" She told me, "Boneless, skinless, tasteless." She explained that cooking with the bone adds flavor, moisture, and even a nutrient boost.
Fast forward to today, and finding bone-in chicken can be a challenge. That’s why I love ButcherBox! They offer free-range, organic bone-in chicken thighs, checking all my boxes. And right now, you can get free bone-in chicken thighs in every box—up to three pounds for the next year! Plus, enjoy $30 off your first box.

Martinelli’s Sparkling Apple Cider
Let me tell you about my favorite mocktail: Martinelli's Sparkling Apple Cider. It's a fantastic substitute for champagne and perfect for summer drinks.
After my breast cancer diagnosis, I became more mindful of what I consume after a 2016 study from the University of Houston revealed that alcohol can fuel estrogen, promoting breast cancer growth. According to breastcancer.org, just three drinks a week can increase breast cancer risk by 15%.
You can find Martinelli's Apple Cider everywhere. Enjoy your summer and sip on some delightful mocktails!

I don't eat five burgers a week (although that sounds dreamy), but I enjoy animal protein daily. Three things are of utmost importance to me:
Quality
Profitable ranches and happy animals
Sustainability
After speaking with ButcherBox founder Mike Salguero, I know that BB checks all of these boxes. ButcherBox visits the farms and fisheries to ensure quality. They know the farmers and fishermen and pay them fairly. They contract with small farms and fisheries to ensure smaller harvests and, thus, sustainability.
It's no secret how I feel about ButcherBox, and I got to sit down with Mike, the founder.
I'm always interested to understand a person's WHY.
WHY did you start that business, or WHY do you feel that way about a topic?
His WHY made me a bit emotional. His wife was ill, and they were trying to find grass-fed beef for the recommended anti-inflammatory diet. They couldn't do it, so they bought half a cow! They couldn't eat it all, so they sold the meat to friends, and ButcherBox was born.
Mike is a visionary who genuinely wants to make high-quality protein available to everyone, no matter their budget.
Give today's podcast a listen! Visit whydidigetcancer.com for full show notes.
About Mike Salguero
Mike Salguero is the CEO and founder of ButcherBox. Mike Salguero launched ButcherBox to make high-quality meat more accessible to all with an emphasis on animal welfare, the environment, and supporting farmers and fishermen. An immigrant from Paraguay, he started the company with $10,000 and a Kickstarter campaign. Butcherbox is now one of the fastest growing DTC food delivery companies, surpassing $500mm in annual revenue.

Rectal cancer is on the rise and it’s high time we shine a light on it.
Because let’s face it, our health — and even our bathroom habits, deserve our attention. Yes, we’re talking about poop! But before you hit pause or start squirming in your seat, let me tell you why you need to stick around.
Joining us today is Marisa Peters, a true warrior who battled and survived rectal cancer. Not only is she a survivor, but she’s also a passionate advocate of women’s health. Motivated by her triumphant battle against late-stage cancer, Marisa founded Be Seen, a movement dedicated to emphasizing the significance of self-advocacy during pivotal moments in our lives. Marisa is a mother to three boys and previously had a career on Broadway as a vocalist.
Today, she’s not here just to share her story but to shed light on this topic that’s often shrouded in silence. We’re delving into the signs and symptoms of rectal cancer, and all those little red flags that might be waving when your digestive system isn’t quite on its A-game. And most importantly: regular screenings.
Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even cringe a little as we discuss all things related to rectal health. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this!

79. What I've Learned in 2024
Thursday Jun 06, 2024
Thursday Jun 06, 2024
I always love looking back on what I’ve learned and the first part of 2024 hasn’t disappointed. I’ve had some incredible guests on the show this year and I’ve taken the time to distill some powerful insights from our conversations. Today I want to re-share my top takeaways of the year so far.
First up, we have some incredible clips from Dr. Josh Axe, a world-renowned naturopath, leadership author, and speaker. Dr. Axe experienced a debilitating medical accident that left him unable to walk for a year, during which he wrote his book, “Think This, Not That.” The lessons he learned are truly golden, and I’ve picked my top four lessons to share with you, including the power of mindset.
Next, we’ll revisit our episode with Liz Curran from the Radical Remission Project. We explored the 10 healing factors common among individuals who achieve radical remissions from diseases like cancer. One fascinating topic was the concept of being “too good of a patient” and the importance of laughter in healing. Did you know kids laugh about 300 times a day, while adults only manage 8-12 laughs daily? It’s a reminder for all of us to embrace our inner child and find joy in everyday moments.
The last lesson I want to share came from Kris Carr, an Oprah Super Soul guest, and a 21-year cancer survivor. Kriss lives with 24 inoperable tumors and has learned to love her body, tumors and all. Her journey of self-love and resilience is profoundly moving, especially since I struggled with body acceptance after my own breast surgery.
Don’t miss these powerful lessons and heartwarming stories. Hit play now and get ready to be inspired!

78. Can Eating Organ Meats Help Prevent Cancer or Other Diseases? (RE-RELEASE)
Thursday May 30, 2024
Thursday May 30, 2024
Did you know that eating organs can be good for you?
PLEASE KEEP READING!
Trust me, I get it. When people mentioned eating organ meat, I had flashbacks to my childhood and my grandma making liver and onions.
Believe me when I say it wasn't a positive experience.
Humans have eaten organ meats since prehistoric times, and they're rich in vitamins, minerals, and amino acids – including some that aren't commonly found in plant foods.
Today's podcast guest is James Barry, celebrity chef to George Clooney and Barbra Streisand (to namedrop a bit). James knows the power of eating organ meats but he also understands the ICK FACTOR.
That's why he created a super yummy way to include organ meats in your daily diet by using salt! He created a savory salt (to me it tastes like a healthy version of Lowery's season salt), and I use it on eggs, salads, and popcorn.
Listen to today's podcast to get the inside scoop on WHY organ meats are so important to consume and DID James cook organ meats for George Clooney.
James Barry’s 16 + years in the culinary field started as a private chef cooking for celebrities such as Tom Cruise, Mariska Hargitay, George Clooney, Gerard Butler, Sean “Puffy” Combs, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack. Most recently, James launched his first functional food product, Pluck, an organ-based seasoning. It's the first of its kind and an amazingly easy and delicious way for people to get organ meats into their diet.
Follow James Barry on Instagram (@chefjamesbarry), and add more organ meat into your diet with Pluck!

I was SHOCKED to hear that when I buy frozen fish, it's frozen TWICE. It's usually frozen right after being caught, defrosted, processed, and then frozen again.
I buy a lot of frozen fish; sometimes, the taste and texture can be inconsistent. Now that I have a better understanding of the processing of the fish before it hits my plate, it makes me wonder about quality.
I called a friend who works at ButcherBox and asked her about the process with their salmon. She assured me that BB only freezes the fish ONCE! Which helps preserve the nutrients and taste. The big one for me is texture. When I eat fish, I want a firm texture, not rubbery!
After getting over my shock (yes, fooled again by the food corporations) I asked my BB friend if I could pretty-please offer free salmon to my community. She said yes, so if you use the code 'enos', you can get free salmon (2 pounds) free for a year and $20 off of your first box.

Today, we're talking about a topic that might make you squirm in your seat—parasites and worms! These creepy crawlies can hitch into our bodies through contaminated water, food, and less-than-sanitary conditions and wreak havoc.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that when my guest Kim Rogers, also known as “The Worm Queen” of TikTok, reached out to me, I hesitated. Who wants to know about the creatures lurking inside us, right? But knowledge is power and if understanding more about parasites and worms could help me stay healthy, it’s time for an uncomfortable conversation.
We talked about the not-so-glamorous aspects of bodily functions—yes, that means we went into the topic of pooping quite a bit. But beyond the initial discomfort, Kim shares some invaluable insights into detox pathways and what she calls the three P's: peeing, perspiration, and, you guessed it, pooping.
So, buckle up, folks. Let’s learn all about these little buggers - and how to protect ourselves from them!
