  • Two Girls With(out) Cancer - S2 E12 - EMF? WTF!

    Stephen Roehrig joins us this week to discuss the importance of safe water and protecting ourselves from electro magnetic frequencies (EMF's). He believes we need to awaken the teacher inside of ourselves so that all of our experiences can reorient us to live more skillfully in this world.

    In 2014, Stephen and wife, Jacinta founded Safe Water Canada in Edmonton, Alberta, where they became distributors of Berkey Water purifiers. They wanted to explore ways of attaining better physical and mental health, which led them to discovering EMF's and its effects on people. Their home is now WIFI-free and they have revised their habits around wireless and wired devices. They offer consultations on discovering the harmful influences of EMF's and sell products that help mitigate this. Shungite, an amazing mineral found only in Russia, is one of these products.

    If you want to lessen the amount of damaging frequencies in your home, and learn how to properly filter your water, then you need to chat with Stephen. He can be contacted on Safe Water Canada's website www.safewatercanada.com

  • Two Girls With(out) Cancer - S2 E8 - Did She Say Ozempic?!

    Katie Sorensen is a nurse practitioner who owns a medical weight loss practice in Colorado and Utah. Her clinic focuses on metabolic health, peptides, health span optimization, etc.

    Yes, she prescribes the O word...Ozempic. There is so much misinformation on the internet regarding weight loss medications, especially right now with the semaglutide craze. Some of you have heard horror stories. Or perhaps you've seen the recent body changes of Hollywood. Either way, you've surely heard about these drugs!

    In this interview, Katie tears down the stigma around these medications that fall into the GLP-1 category. If you ever wanted to learn more, then this episode is for you.


    (GLP-1 is a natural hormone that bodies make after eating. It controls things like hunger and blood sugar levels, in case you were wondering what that word meant!)
