Beating Cancer Daily with Saranne Rothberg ~ Stage IV Cancer Survivor

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes Jacqui Bryan, functional medicine expert and nutrition specialist, to unpack a condition that’s more relevant to cancer survivors than many realize - gout. Although often associated with historical figures and rich feasts, gout can be a painful complication for those undergoing cancer treatments. Saranne, herself a long-term Stage IV cancer survivor, brings her signature humor and curiosity to the topic. As Jacqui explains, gout’s root cause is the buildup of uric acid, and certain chemotherapy agents, medications, or kidney issues can trigger debilitating flare-ups. Together, Saranne and Jacqui break down how symptoms can be confused with common treatment side effects, why it matters for anyone in the cancer community, and what steps can be taken to prevent and manage this “disease of kings.”

Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, and registered nurse. With her wide-ranging background in functional medicine, she offers practical, food-first strategies to help individuals manage side effects from cancer treatments and live healthier lives. Jacqui is recognized for her commitment to educating and empowering patients and their loved ones through nutrition, lifestyle, and supportive care.

"Diets that are high in fiber trigger microorganisms that are in your gut to produce short chain fatty acids that actually resolve gout-associated inflammation." ~Jacqui Bryan

Today on Beating Cancer Daily:

·     Gout can be a side effect of cancer treatments like chemotherapy or medications such as diuretics, making it important to recognize and manage for cancer patients and survivors

·     Symptoms of gout, especially severe joint pain, can easily be mistaken for medication side effects, underlining the need for medical evaluation

·     Gout results from the buildup of uric acid, which can crystallize in joints and cause intense, sometimes immobilizing pain

·     Diet plays a crucial role in managing gout; reducing red meat, shellfish, high-fat dairy, alcohol, and sugary drinks can help prevent flare-ups

·     Incorporating low-purine foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and especially cherries, can lower uric acid levels and inflammation

·     Hydration is essential, as drinking enough water helps flush excess uric acid from the body

·     Maintaining a healthy body weight and eating at regular intervals are effective strategies in reducing gout risk and supporting overall health

·     Patients should partner with healthcare providers to monitor symptoms and adjust dietary or medication plans as necessary for gout prevention and management

Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne explores the concept of FOMO, Fear of Missing Out, and how it uniquely affects cancer patients. Drawing from personal experiences and referencing a 2021 study from the World Journal of Clinical Cases by Gupta and Sharma, Saranne explains how FOMO can lead to anxiety, disrupted sleep, and emotional issues, especially when compounded by the rigorous demands of cancer treatment. She emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and introduces the concept of JOMO (Joy of Missing Out) as a healthier mindset. By creating an inner life filled with joy, one doesn't need to keep up with social expectations and can instead focus on what truly brings peace and happiness.

"Forget others, me only." – Saranne

Today on Beating Cancer Daily:

·     FOMO stands for Fear of Missing Out, and social media often exacerbates it.

·     A 2021 study identified multiple negative impacts of FOMO, including anxiety and reduced physical well-being.

·     For cancer patients, FOMO can add unnecessary stress during treatment, making it crucial to manage social engagements wisely.

·     JOMO — Joy of Missing Out — is about finding contentment in one's inner life rather than external activities.

·     Self-preservation is key during cancer treatment; knowing when to rest and recharge is vital.

·     Practical strategies for combating FOMO include journaling, meditation, and turning off social media.

·     Scheduling social connections via digital means can help maintain relationships without the physical strain of going out.

·     Tools like ComedyCures LaughLine offer daily humor, aiding in emotional well-being.
