Light is something we interact with every day, yet most of us rarely stop to consider how profoundly it influences our biology, including energy production, cellular health, tissue repair, and overall health.

Our brilliant guest, Ari Whitten, is the founder of The Energy Blueprint, a bestselling author, and one of the leading educators in photobiomodulation and human energy optimization. With a background in exercise science, human nutrition, and functional medicine, Ari has deep expertise in mitochondrial health, circadian rhythm and sleep, nutrition, gut health, light therapies, fitness, and hormetic stress. Tune in to let your curiosity shine and uncover new and effective ways to help your body, mind, and soul truly heal.

To make light therapy even more powerful, pair it with Nano CoQ10. Your body's cells use coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) to produce the energy needed for cell growth and health, similar to light therapy. However, your levels naturally decline with age, so pairing Nano CoQ10 with light therapy and a healthy lifestyle works synergistically for optimal healing!

"80% of your healing is MINDSET." - Dr. Heather Stone.

Dr. Heather Stone, DC, is a leading expert, author, and speaker known for her root-cause, investigative approach to thyroid health, Hashimoto's, and complex "mystery health challenges." For more than 20 years, she has helped women uncover the hidden drivers of illness—many of which overlap with breast cancer—and reclaim vibrant, lasting health.

Mindset is the way you think and feel that programs your subconscious mind. It's literally running your life. In reality, if you stop, evaluate, and honestly answer questions like: What am I thinking? What do I believe about my body's ability to heal? How am I feeling about what is possible for me? You may be shocked by how easily you can move the needle in your healing once you work on the 80%.

Tune in to dive deep into her mindset strategies and the other intentional steps she takes with the thousands of women she has helped find vibrant health with her Thyriod Transformation Blueprint.

The conversation also explores key physiological strategies, including the importance of maintaining balanced iodine levels. One of Dr. V's major ah-ha moments was increasing her iodine levels. Once she did that, her healing also soared. Click here to learn more about the iodine, thyroid, and breast cancer connection—and learn more about our Iodine Support supplement here.

Stress = mental and physical health issues, is nothing new. We all know that.

Which is why we reached out to Dr. Jorina Elbers, a board-certified neurologist and HeartMath Medical Director. To go deeper into what our bodies are trying to tell us through stress and the damage it causes.

She explains how chronic stress and trauma can dysregulate the nervous system. This leads to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, sleep issues, pain, digestive problems, and emotional overwhelm. Rather than seeing these as separate issues. She shows how they're often connected by a single root cause: a system stuck in fight-or-flight or shutdown.

Tune in to learn more about how to step out of your stress shutdown cycle of damage. Why the medication-first model often misses the bigger picture. And, most importantly, discover drug-free and evidence-based tools that can help restore balance.

Cancer, Motherhood & the Choice to Rise. In her 30s, juggling a blossoming career and an 18-month-old baby while dealing with COVID shutdowns and the death of a best friend, Amanda heard the words "stage 2 triple-positive breast cancer - 2 tumors." And into the darkness she went.

But a few weeks into her diagnosis and depression, she knew a mindset shift had to be made—for her, her daughter, and her world. Tune in to discover how she shifted from despair to finding joy, humor, and wisdom in this deeply human and relatable podcast episode featuring Amanda Gunville.

P.S. Mindset shifts paired with Probiotic Support are a match made in healing heaven because probiotics lead to a strong gut that produces the serotonin (your happy hormone) needed to keep moving forward. Your gut microbiome can also influence how well chemotherapy, hormone therapy, and immunotherapy work. So make sure to give it the fuel it needs through our Probiotic Support supplement. To learn more surprising truths about your gut and breast cancer, please review this blog post.

In this episode, you'll hear science, soul, humor, honesty, and the kind of grounded wisdom that only comes from someone who has lived this path from every angle. Because Achim Zinggrebe, MD, truly has—as a physician, cancer thriver, and son of a thriver.

This heartfelt episode is also packed with practical support on how to navigate the parts of cancer healing that aren't always discussed, such as:

• How to soften fear with gratitude
• Handling the pressure to "bounce back" after treatment
• The real inner work that leads to true healing
• How to rebuild trust in your body
• What it means to support someone you love without trying to fix or control their journey

This episode is a big hug and a book of wisdom all wrapped together. To learn more about Dr. Zinggrebe, check out his website and Amazon author page.

"I felt like Humpty Dumpty on the wall in the nursery rhyme that fell down and broke into a hundred pieces. No matter what they did, no well-meaning doctor could put me back together again. I had seen so many practitioners, and nothing helped; I wasted a lot of money and effort."

Chances are, you can relate to Dale Teplitz's story of Hope and Healing. We have all been there.

But then one day, Dale found a practitioner who took a dramatically different approach. She invited Dale to use Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) while focusing on a past traumatic event that occurred right before her illness, which caused chronic pain, fatigue, and hopelessness. Days later, she woke up feeling well, happy, and at peace.

Dale has turned her pain into passion and has spent the last 30 years coaching healthcare professionals and people on a healing journey about harnessing the power of EFT for optimal mind and body health.

Tune in to hear fascinating stories about the unique ways people use EFT—from golfers sinking a tournament-winning putt to overcoming food cravings, and managing stress related to a cancer diagnosis.

You've always got your fingertips with you, and EFT is a free and practical way to harness your body's innate ability to heal. For more support, download her free EFT For Self-Care Tutorial and read our latest blog post on using EFT to Tone Your Vagus Nerve.

Lastly, as we always say, "One thing didn't cause the cancer, and one thing won't heal it." EFT can be a powerful part of your healing journey, and it works even better when paired with Hi-Po Fish Oil (Omega-3) capsule, so your brain has the nourishment it needs to thrive.

Toxins and Hormones. Could your cleaning spray be connected with infertility or even breast cancer?

Yes.

Toxins in your home could be the culprit for what is causing hormonal problems. Hormonal problems are often a root cause of infertility, cancer, autoimmune diseases, and oh-so-many issues that especially women face, often in silence.

For these reasons, and dozens more, we invited Dr. Aumatma Simmons to the podcast. She is a Naturopathic Doctor who is board-certified in Naturopathic Endocrinology. She has truly transformed the way we think about our hormones and health.

In this episode, she explains how environmental toxins disrupt hormones, why estrogen metabolism matters for breast health, and how supporting methylation and liver detox pathways plays a critical role in clearing hormones effectively. To support these pathways, many women benefit from targeted nutrients like those found in Methyl Support, which helps fuel phase-2 detoxification and healthy estrogen metabolism—two key themes discussed throughout the conversation.

"I sat my parents down and said I need your support no matter what. If I tell you, I need to heal by standing upside down, and I want you to say 'That's great, we support you.''

We first learned about breast cancer thriver and transformational coach Veronika Bubenickova's vision for The Lotus Journey. Her message immediately resonated with us. She speaks of embracing a fuller, more empowered life. One rooted in strength rather than fear—and her story captivated our hearts.

We knew we had to have her on the podcast. In this 30-minute episode, you'll hear honest mindset shifts. Real talk about those inevitable meltdowns (yes, they're normal), and unapologetically practical ways to unlock your inner strength. All while gaining support from loved ones.

She also dives into many aspects of the 7 Essentials System®, such as energy healing, reducing toxic exposure, and how she used creative therapies to elevate her chemo journey.

Breast cancer can be a gift; listen, learn, absorb, and discover what gift you may be receiving from this journey.

"Dad, I want you to tell my story to as many people as possible, so women can detect their cancer early and not go through what I have." Keesha, who passed away at a tragically young age of 34, told her father.

Her father, Bob Furniss, who joined us for this episode, has gone above and beyond with her request. He wrote a book: On To Blue: The Story of a Breast Cancer Warrior Through the Eyes of a Dad (learn more here), started an early detection nonprofit for younger (WarriorPrincess.org), and is sharing his daughter's fierce fighting spirit and sage wisdom with you today!

Here on this podcast, we know the stories we tell have power. We believe that knowing your body and acting early are so critical in healing breast cancer that it is Essential #7 in Dr. V's 7 Essentials System®. Too many lives have been forever altered by silent symptoms, delayed exams, or the assumption that "it can't happen to me." But it did happen—and so we speak it, write about it, (Click here to review our post on early-onset cancer), and turn pain into passion.

Together, let's explore how to listen to our bodies, advocate for our health, and encourage those around us. Bring a tissue box, because this one is personal and deeply moving.
