Why Did I Get Cancer?

57: The Conscious Oncologist: Dr. Katie Deming Explores the Spiritual Side of Cancer Recovery

We often see cancer as a purely physical issue, but within holistic healing, today’s guest believes that the healing is deeply spiritual. 
I’m thrilled about today's podcast episode featuring the remarkable Dr. Katie Deming. As an oncologist, former healthcare leader, inventor, author, and podcast host, Dr. Deming has a wealth of knowledge to offer. My recent exploration led me to her captivating TEDx talk, leaving me in awe of her insights. Known as the "Conscious Oncologist," Dr. Deming has piqued my curiosity, and I'm eager to go into the intriguing aspects of her journey and expertise.
I am excited about this soul-nourishing episode!

39: Putting ‘Junk’ in Your Heart Will Make You Sick

39: Putting ‘Junk’ in Your Heart Will Make You Sick
A candid conversation with Dr. Henry Cloud
 
Being vulnerable makes me uncomfortable, especially considering how I "used to be" before cancer.
Before cancer, it was crucial to me to be liked. So, "to make" people like me, I didn't always share my opinions or let people get to know the "real me."
When I received the cancer diagnosis, everything changed.
Suddenly, I had to save my energy for healing, and I stopped caring if people liked me. I then started to look at some of my relationships. Some of my friendships needed better boundaries, and I needed to manage my expectations about the friendship.
All of a sudden, I FELT FREE. I felt lighter and truly began to enjoy the people in my life.
I first heard Dr. Cloud, author of Boundaries, on the radio twenty-five years ago.
So, you can imagine how delighted I was when Dr. Cloud agreed to come on my podcast to discuss how our relationships can impact our health.
My specific question to him was this, "can a lack of boundaries or being co-dependent contribute to cancer risk?"
You've got to hear his surprising answer!
 
Dr. Henry Cloud is an acclaimed leadership expert, clinical psychologist, and New York Times bestselling author. His 45 books, including the iconic Boundaries, have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide.

I had to figure out how to decrease the amount of blue light (screens, iPad & phone) I saw at night. The more blue light you see, the more it slows down your production of melatonin (among many other things), and the next thing you know, you're getting a second wind at midnight. No, thank you.

38: Can a Lack of Boundaries Contribute to Cancer Risk?

38: Can a Lack of Boundaries Contribute to Cancer Risk?
A candid conversation with Boundaries author, Dr. Henry Cloud.
 
I was 33, single, and struggling with boundaries. I always picked the wrong guy, and then the relationship would blow up, and I'd be crushed and have a crisis of confidence.
 
One day I was driving to a work appointment and switched on my radio and discovered Dr. Cloud on my local radio station. He spoke to my brokenness about my relationships. He taught me about boundaries in such a simple way! He stated that boundaries are like the locked door on a house; you unlock the door to let in the right people and keep it shut to keep the wrong people out! 
 
You can imagine what a thrill it was for me to host Dr. Henry Cloud on my podcast! I was geeking out :) He's been my mentor and life coach for twenty-five years, and I've never even talked to him.
 
My focus of this interview was, can a lack of boundaries or being co-dependent contribute to cancer risk. Of course, I've been wondering if I've contributed to my cancer through the drama I've had in my personal life.
 
I found his answer surprising, so make sure you listen to part one of my interview with Dr. Cloud.
 
Dr. Henry Cloud is an acclaimed leadership expert, clinical psychologist, and New York Times bestselling author. His 45 books, including the iconic Boundaries, have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. In addition, he has an extensive executive coaching background and experience as a leadership consultant, devoting most of his time to working with CEOs, leadership teams, and executives to improve performance, leadership skills, and culture.

45: Can a Lack of Sleep Cause Cancer? Getting Better Rest with Sleep Expert Devin Burke

45: Can a Lack of Sleep Cause Cancer? Getting Better Rest with Sleep Expert Devin Burke
I haven't been a good sleeper for the last twenty years or so. I overthink, and then I seem to get myself "worked up;" it takes me hours to fall asleep. Add in Covid and breast cancer, and I can tell you the last two years have been rough. This is why I was so excited to welcome sleep expert Devin Burke to today's podcast episode.
One of Devin's tips was to start my day with a glass of water and then coffee. He suggests I go outside and look toward the sun (never at the sun!), drink my water, and wait an hour before coffee.
I'm not sure I can do it, but I'm giving it a shot :)
Here's the sleep tip I've already started to incorporate, and I'm telling you, it's helping me to fall asleep faster.
Devin suggests going outside for five minutes a couple of times per day. The point is to give your brain a break and not try to solve any problems.
He concludes that giving your brain some downtime helps to encourage your body to sleep deeper at night.
This is harder than it sounds, so I had to leave my phone inside.
Give this episode a listen to hear more sleep tips that actually work!

55: Things I Wish I Would Have Known 30 Years Ago, Episode 4: Taking Better Care of My Teeth Can Lower My Risk of Cancer.

55: Things I Wish I Would Have Known 30 Years Ago, but I know them now!
Episode 4: Taking better care of my teeth can lower my risk of cancer.
And according to Dr. Kelly Blodgett, that doesn’t only mean brushing or flossing. He explained in our podcast that high-quality saliva leads to a healthier body. How do I improve the quality of my saliva? Find ten to fifteen minutes per day of peace. How does this help your oral health? When you start to relax, your blood flow is better all over your body, including your mouth. When the blood flow is good to your mouth, your saliva improves, which will then impact your gut health. When your gut health is better, YOUR HEALTH IMPROVES!
I encourage you to listen to our episode, Can Root Canals Contribute to Cancer Risk?
In our interview, we discuss holistic dentistry and how the health of your mouth can impact every cell in your body.
Ensure you follow Dr. B.; he posts thought-provoking content on his social channels.

The second podcast I unpacked in this episode is with Keith Bishop, a clinical nutritionist and retired pharmacist. The title is Daily Habits to Prevent and Fight Cancer!
My takeaway today was that let's not make cancer prevention too complicated; there are simple habits we can incorporate daily that can knock down our risk.
Move a bit more each day.
Cut back on sugar and alcohol.
Don't drink super-hot beverages (darn it! I love my piping hot tea :)
Keith also told me that while colon cancer risk seems to be going down for older folks, colon cancer in younger people is on the rise. Why?
Keith believes a sedentary lifestyle is a significant contributor.

54. Is the air in your home making you sick? A surprising conversation with an air quality expert.

54. Is the air in your home making you sick? A surprising conversation with an air quality expert.
I admit that after thirty years in this field, I assume that most of my "health decisions" are correct.
Yet, whenever I record a podcast, I discover more things I'm doing wrong!
GRRRRR….
At this point, I have two options:
Get frustrated at everything "I've yet to do…"
OR
Understand that knowledge is power, and one day at a time, incorporate new habits that can help lower disease risk.
Of course, I'm choosing choice number 2! The small changes I make will eventually create a more significant impact.
Fast forward to my conversation today with air quality expert Michael Rubino.
Michael shared some recent studies that discovered a link between many cancers and air quality. My first thought was, "Sure, I can understand poor air quality and the link to lung cancer," but no, the study suggested that poor air quality can contribute to breast, pancreatic, and many other types of cancer.
What?!
The authors explained that pollution can impact our DNA and alter our immune response. This can increase inflammation, which contributes to cancer growth. The authors also suggested that in the case of digestive cancers, pollution can affect gut health and influence cancer development.
Okay, now what? How do we make our homes safer without breaking the bank?
Michael suggested some easy fixes, such as changing out your HVAC filter more regularly and having a good air purifier in the house.
Give today's podcast a listen to learn how to test your home for air pollution and get more of Michael's great tips!

07. Chris Beat Cancer, attitude is everything!

07. Chris Beat Cancer, attitude is everything!
Chris and I discussed the power of attitude in healing. 
 
In a world gone mad, attitude and outlook are the only things you have control over. You are in control of your reactions to other people, and situations-that's it!
 
When we begin to realize that our outlook is the only factor we can control, then we have the opportunity to manage our stress in a more powerful way.
 
According to Chris, stress is the single most important factor--the one barrier to healing cancer--that is most often ignored. You can do everything right: diet, supplements, and every therapy under the sun, but you need to address the stress to get well.
 
Chris was diagnosed with stage IIIC colon cancer in 2003, at 26 years old. He had surgery but refused chemotherapy.

53: Can Grass-Fed Meat be Healing for You and the Planet? A Conversation with ButcherBox Founder Mike Salguero

53: Can Grass-Fed Meat be Healing for You and the Planet? A Conversation with ButcherBox Founder Mike Salguero
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?
 
It's no secret how I feel about ButcherBox, and last week; I got to sit down with the founder, Mike Salguero.
 
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 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.

40: Why Does God Allow Suffering?

40: Why Does God Allow Suffering?
A candid conversation with Tara Leigh Cobble of the Bible Recap
 
Confession time! This seems fitting since I just interviewed one of the most popular bible teachers on the planet. 😊
I bought my first bible when I was in my thirties. I tried hard to understand it, but I often got more confused. Finally, I connected with proverbs; that chapter was easy to understand because I could quickly apply it to my daily life.
I discovered today's guest, Tara Leigh Cobble (TLC), a few months ago; she has a podcast where she makes the bible both fun and interesting, all in less than ten minutes a day! I can do that!
I had many questions for God during my cancer journey, like why did this happen to me? I exercise and eat healthy food, and I'm nice to people. Why, why, and more why?
I wanted to see what God had to say about suffering, so I went to the top to get answers about what God says about cancer and other diseases. Can it make us better people? Is there a reason we suffer?
I must tell you that Tara Leigh has had more than her fair share of suffering, including being electrocuted during surgery to repair her heart.
Give today's episode a listen; it might answer some questions you didn't even know you had!

I love using Bison! It's very nutrient dense and contains conjugated linoleic acid (I know, what the heck does that mean?), which means Bison has anti-inflammatory properties.
Here are the other reasons why I love using Bison in place of ground beef:
Higher amounts of omega three fatty acids.
More b12, zinc, iron, and selenium than beef.
Some studies show it's got four times the vitamin E compared to beef.
Lower in calories and cholesterol.
It is lower fat, so it will cook faster than ground beef.
