How would your life transform during a 30-day water fast?

Dr. Katie Deming is joined by her client Donna DiPane and medical oncologist Dr. Jason Konner from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center to share an extraordinary healing journey.

Donna recently completed a 30-day supervised water-only fast as part of her holistic approach to healing from ovarian cancer. What makes this story especially powerful is the collaborative relationship between conventional and holistic medicine.

Chapters:
00:17:00 – The fear wasn’t just about cancer
00:22:00 – I unzipped from my body
00:31:00 – A message from God at 3 am
00:38:00 – When the shell started to crack
00:52:00 – Strip it all down to heal

They explore how fasting goes far beyond physical detoxification. Donna shares the profound spiritual awakening she experienced, including receiving powerful messages during the night, connecting with her "light body," and finding a deep release from the fear that had dominated much of her life.

Dr. Konner offers his perspective as a conventional oncologist, describing his initial concerns about safety and his surprise at witnessing Donna's transformation throughout the process - not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

Listen and learn about what happens during a fast, from the physical challenges of the first week to the emotional and spiritual openings that can occur as the body and mind clear.

What if a cancer diagnosis is not the end of your story, but rather the beginning of a more authentic way of living?

Dr. Katie Deming shares essential wisdom for anyone newly diagnosed with cancer. She explains why "stopping your world" might be the most crucial step you can take after diagnosis. 

Rather than trying to squeeze cancer treatment into your already busy life, she outlines why pausing to reflect on how you got here is fundamental to true healing.

Key Takeaways: 

• What Happens When You Actually Stop Everything
• The Risk of Rushing a Cancer Decision
• Why a Calm Mind Could Save Your Life

Dr. Katie reveals the hidden metrics that drive conventional treatment timelines and provides practical questions to ask your doctors about benefits, risks, and side effects of proposed treatments.

Dr. Katie offers a compassionate roadmap that empowers you to take control of your health. 

Listen and learn practical tools to calm your nervous system and make clear-headed decisions.

What would you do first if you received a cancer diagnosis? 

Dr. Katie shares why a 30-day water fast would be her first response to cancer—and why many health experts like Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Jason Fung agree. Dr. Deming presents six compelling reasons why prolonged water fasting creates powerful healing opportunities for cancer patients. 

She explains how cancer as a metabolic condition responds to fasting, why it helps detoxify the body on physical, emotional and mental levels, and how it flips the script on cancer's parasitic nature. 

You'll hear real examples of clients who experienced profound healing through this approach, including one whose brain tumor completely disappeared.

Key Takeaways:

• How to shut down your cancer’s fuel source
• Letting go of years of toxic buildup
• What a stronger gut means to you
• Clarity comes when the noise inside quiets down

Dr. Deming transparently shares her journey from skepticism to conviction based on client outcomes she never witnessed in traditional medicine. Her honest assessment of water fasting challenges common medical assumptions while offering hope to those seeking alternatives or complementary approaches.

Dr. Deming explains the science behind water fasting while acknowledging safety considerations and proper supervision. 

Listen and expand your understanding of what's possible when we create the right conditions for our bodies to heal themselves naturally.

What if a popular health trend is actually harming your gut?

Dr. Katie Deming speaks with Monica Corrado, known as "The GAPS Chef" and a leading expert in traditional cooking techniques. She helps us understand the foundations of eating for both physical and neurological wellbeing.

You'll discover why our bodies need far more animal fat than most of us consume, and how the plant-based approach many follow for cancer healing might be missing critical building blocks for recovery.

Chapters:
00:06:17 - Meat stock vs. bone broth
00:12:04 - Fat, brain health, and your hormones
00:29:57 - The vegan diet and cancer

They discuss why healthy fat is essential for nervous system regulation, why our bodies are designed to eat meat, and how plants serve as cleansers rather than builders in our diet.

Listen and learn why a stick of butter a day might be just what your body needs and how to prepare foods that heal rather than harm.
