In this episode of the Believe Big podcast, host Ivelisse Page welcomes Dr. Antonio Jimenez—affectionately known as Dr. Tony—renowned integrative oncology pioneer and founder of the Hope4Cancer Treatment Centers. Together, they explore a transformative approach to healing: fasting, and its powerful role in both physical wellness and spiritual renewal.

Dr. Tony unpacks the science behind fasting’s impact on cancer treatment, including how it activates 

• autophagy and mitophagy, 
• boosts stem cell regeneration, and 
• supports the body's ability to repair and restore. 

But this conversation goes beyond biology. Dr. Tony and Ivelisse dive deep into the spiritual discipline of fasting, revealing how it can become a sacred rhythm that cultivates gratitude, sharpens focus, deepens our faith, and unlocks emotional resilience in the hardest seasons. With heartfelt stories and practical takeaways, this episode offers guidance for anyone seeking to approach their health—and their spiritual walk—with intentionality and hope.

Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or simply curious about holistic approaches to healing, this episode offers life-giving insight into how aligning body and spirit can ignite a more vibrant path forward.

Today on the Believe Big podcast, Dr. Rob Reimer returns to talk about his new book, Authentic, which explores the connection between addressing our soul's issues and deepening our intimacy with God.

Rob shares how unresolved wounds, bitterness, and spiritual barriers can block the flow of the Holy Spirit, and encourages us to seek healing for a fuller relationship with God.

He also challenges the knowledge-driven approach of Western Christianity, urging us to focus on meaningful spiritual practices that actually transform our lives rather than mere rituals or habits. With thought-provoking insights, he emphasizes asking better questions, like whether our faith practices are genuinely working, rather than simply whether we’re checking them off of our daily to-do list.

Today's conversation offers a fresh perspective on discipleship, and encourages you to pursue authenticity and freedom in your spiritual journey.  Join us for an empowering discussion that will help you strengthen your connection with God.
