62. Do We Need to Stop Burning Candles? The Truth About EDCs.

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.

61. Is Tap Water Safe to Drink? (RE-RELEASE)

If you're going to only listen to one of my podcast episodes this year, THIS IS THE ONE!
Wendy is a Toxins Lawyer and clean-living coach, and we had a candid and, at times, frightening conversation about tap water and cancer risk.
Before cancer, I would say that I was suspicious but still trusting; for example, if the water was coming out of my tap, I believed the government was doing its job to keep us safe.
Then the train derailed in Ohio, and within days the local government was telling its citizens the water was just fine. 
I'm not a water expert, but I know enough to figure out that the water is unfit for consumption when thousands of chemicals get dumped into local waterways.
Wendy explained that when the clean water act was signed in 1974 that it worked well for the next 15 years. Then the local water companies decided they couldn't keep up with the water testing regulations, so the clean water act was amended. The EPA left it up to the discretion of individual water agencies to test or not test.
Since then, only two additional contaminants have been added to the list of chemicals to be aware of. And let's be honest; new chemicals are being created yearly in our country. Sadly, this is an example of buyer beware; we can no longer trust the water from our tap.
Here are my questions:
1. What's in my local water?
   Go to this site to check out what contaminants might be in your local tap: EWG Tap Water Database.
2. What can we do to drink water without contaminants?
   Filter, filter, filter! Wendy discusses her fav filters in this podcast episode.
3. How much is this going to cost me?
   Wendy says this is the most critical first step to detoxing, so it will cost money; UGH! But she has multiple suggestions for filters at a variety of price points.

I'm picky about fish. I will only purchase wild fish, and yes, I'm that obnoxious person that asks the waitstaff in restaurants where they got the fish! I know that wild is healthier, and this is why I love ButcherBox wild salmon!
Recent studies show that higher fish consumption is associated with improved immune function. The study, which looked at the cancer-fighting effects of the Mediterranean diet, found that people who reported eating less fish and more red meat showed several common abnormalities in their blood that suggested a higher risk of cancer.
Wild and smaller fish, such as salmon, are anti-inflammatory and associated with better brain, hormonal, and nervous system health.

60. Best of 2023

Today, let’s explore the two most downloaded episodes of 2023 for the "Why Did I Get Cancer?" podcast! These episodes left a lasting impact on our community and I had a great time going back and relistening to all of the great insights these guests shared.
The first standout episode featured sleep expert Devin Burke. Devin shed light on the profound connection between sleep and overall well-being. It's not surprising that this episode became a favorite among our audience, as the information provided by Devin was valuable and addressed a common struggle we all share.
I was a bit surprised to discover the second most downloaded episode, which was an episode that discussed the potential connection between boundaries and cancer. Known for his expertise in personal development and boundaries, Dr. Henry Cloud talked about our issues related to boundaries, codependency, and people-pleasing which could contribute to the risk of cancer. 
Join me in this review episode as I reflect on the wisdom shared by Devin and Dr. Cloud.

59. Can the Body Heal Itself from Cancer or Autoimmune Disorders? (RE-RELEASE)

I loved my conversation with Holistic Nurse Practitioner Alyssa Siegel.
Alyssa is not afraid to go against big pharma to tell us how to use pharmaceutical alternatives, such as supplements and tinctures.
She believes that the body can heal itself if we create a healthy environment so our bodies can thrive. 
She is in hot pursuit of trying to find out what made her patients ill in the first place; what's the root cause of why they're sick?
She believes that the body is designed to heal itself and that you can recover if you can lower your toxin load. She also talks about the emotional aspect of illness and how that can be a considerable contributor to staying sick.
She was also very candid that the food most of us consume is very inflammatory, and it's difficult to heal when your body is in a state of inflammation.
She offered doable health hacks so that your body can heal itself!

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. 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.

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!
