I’m revisiting this episode because it is such an important one. So many of our health issues are caused by a compromised lymphatic system and yet we know very little about this vital part of our immune system.
This conversation with lymphatic expert, Jules Willcocks is one I truly believe is worth hearing, or hearing again. Jules shares one of the best explanations I’ve ever heard of how the lymphatic system works, using the powerful image of the body as an aquarium - and once you hear it, it really does all start to make sense.
Jules is the founder of Body Ballancer UK (medical grade lymphatic drainage systems owned and loved by celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Lady Gaga and many more) and a fountain of knowledge when it comes to lymphatic health, lymphatic drainage and why this often-overlooked system has such a huge impact on how we feel day to day. In this episode, we break it all down in a really simple way - what the lymphatic system actually is, why it matters so much for immunity, inflammation and detoxification, and what signs might suggest it is not working as well as it could.
We also talk about the connection between the lymphatic system and recurring illness, swelling, headaches, allergies, cellulite, gut health, post-surgery healing and even recovery after cancer treatment. If you have ever wondered why you feel puffy, run down, inflamed or like your body is struggling to keep up, this episode could open your eyes.
In this episode, we cover:
This is such an important conversation because we are simply not taught enough about the lymphatic system, despite how central it is to our health. Whether you are interested in reducing inflammation, supporting your immune system, improving recovery, easing fluid retention or simply understanding your body better, I hope this episode helps you.
As always, this podcast is here to share stories, wisdom and tools that might support your healing and help you feel more empowered in your health.

We revisit this important gem of an episode delving into the complexities of people pleasing and the importance of setting boundaries with psychotherapist and boundaries expert Elsie Owen. We explore how people pleasing often stems from a desire for emotional safety and the impact of childhood experiences on these behaviours. Our discussion highlights the necessity of self-regulation and the strategies for establishing healthy boundaries in relationships. Elsie shares insights from her course, emphasising the importance of pausing and reflecting before responding to social pressures, ultimately guiding listeners towards a more authentic and balanced way of living. We even answer the important question: "how can I have boundaries and not upset people?"

THE PERSONAL RESET METHOD - DM me RESET on Instagram @cancercuredme or email me at [email protected]
Early spots are £127 for the first few people, then £147
Today’s episode is for you if you’ve ever felt completely overwhelmed by the plethora of health advice out there… and just don’t know what to do first.
I hear this all the time.
You’re listening to the podcast, you’re following experts, you’re trying to do the right things - eat well, sleep more, move your body, regulate your nervous system - but it all starts to feel like too much.
And the truth is, it is too much.
We’re now consuming the equivalent of around 54 newspapers worth of information every single day. No wonder we feel scattered, overstimulated and unsure where to focus.
So in this episode, I’m sharing how I personally cut through that noise.
Not by doing more.
Not by following every trend.
But by simplifying everything down to what actually matters for me - and how I now help others do the same.
Because your health isn’t one-size-fits-all.
And the real shift happens when you stop trying to do everything… and start focusing on what’s right for you.
I also introduce something I’ve created called The Personal Reset Plan - a simple, personalised way to help you get clear on your priorities without adding more to your plate.
Think of it as someone finally helping you filter everything out.
If this resonated with you, I’d love to support you.
I’ve created a Personal Reset Plan - a one-to-one deep dive where I help you cut through the noise and get clear on what actually matters for your health.
We look at the full picture - your body, mind, lifestyle and energy - and simplify it down into a few key areas that will make the biggest difference.
No overwhelm.
No endless to-do lists.
Just clarity and a plan that works for you.

Dave Bolton was given just three months to live with a brain tumour. Nearly ten years later, he is still here - and this is how he did it.
Welcome back to Cancer Cured Me. This is Part 2 of one of the most extraordinary conversations I’ve ever had.
In this episode, Dave shares what happened after his diagnosis of a brain tumour, later confirmed as a glioblastoma - one of the most aggressive and terminal forms of cancer.
This is where his story shifts from survival… to something much bigger.
We talk about the moment he was told he had a tumour in his brain, the fear, the waiting, the surgery, and the devastating prognosis that followed. But we also go deep into what he chose to do next - and the decisions that have led him to still be here today.
This is not about false hope. It’s about possibility. It’s about taking back control when everything feels out of your hands.
And it’s about understanding that a prognosis is not always the full picture.
This is the part so many of you have been asking for.
Dave shares the approach he took to support his body alongside conventional treatment - something that aligns so deeply with what I believe and what I talk about on this podcast.
We talk about:
Something that really stayed with me from this conversation is this:
“Accept your diagnosis, but never accept your prognosis.”
Dave is now nearly 10 years on from a 3-month prognosis.
He is part of a tiny percentage of people in the world living this far beyond a glioblastoma diagnosis.
This conversation is not about rejecting medicine. It’s not about doing one thing over another.
It’s about expanding the conversation.
It’s about understanding that healing can be supported in many ways.
And it’s about remembering that:
Something that came through so strongly in this episode is this:
You are allowed to have the hard days.
You are allowed to feel everything.
But there is also space for hope.
And sometimes, that starts with hearing a story like this.
If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who might need it.
And if you’d like to connect with Dave or learn more about his work, all links are in the show notes.
Because sometimes…
The stories that sound impossible
Are the ones that change everything.

Dave Bolton was given just three months to live with cancer. Ten years later, he’s still here.
In this episode of Cancer Cured Me, I’m sharing the first part of Dave’s extraordinary story - a story of survival, resilience, and the remarkable power of the human spirit.
Dave’s journey is almost impossible to believe. Before cancer even entered the picture, he had already survived an accident that should have killed him. Crushed by a 23-ton articulated lorry while riding his motorbike, he was told he would never walk again. Doctors even considered amputating his leg.
But Dave refused to accept that as his future.
Step by step - quite literally - he rebuilt his body, teaching himself to walk again through sheer determination and relentless effort.
And then he did something even more extraordinary.
He went on to become a world kickboxing champion.
This conversation is the beginning of Dave’s story. In this first part, we talk about the accident that nearly took his life, the long and brutal recovery, the mental battles that followed, and the mindset that carried him through when everything seemed impossible.
It’s a story about what happens when someone decides that the prognosis doesn’t get the final say.
Dave was later diagnosed with terminal cancer and given just three months to live. Today he is ten years beyond that prognosis, helping others through his charity and sharing the lessons he learned about resilience, mindset, and healing.
This episode is powerful, emotional, and at times unbelievable. But it’s also a reminder that the human spirit is capable of far more than we often think.
This is Part 1 of Dave’s story.
Dave’s story is one of the most extraordinary examples of resilience I’ve ever come across. It’s a reminder that sometimes the limits placed on us are not the limits that truly exist.
If this conversation resonates with you, make sure you listen to Part 2, where we go deeper into Dave’s cancer diagnosis, his prognosis, and how he went on to defy it.
If you enjoy the podcast, please follow or subscribe so more people can discover these powerful stories of healing and transformation.
Because sometimes the most impossible stories… are the ones that change everything.

Welcome back to Cancer Cured Me - healing, manifesting and living your best life.
This episode is with Sylvie Beljanski, a Parisian lawyer who walked away from her legal career to fight an injustice most of us could never imagine.
Her father – a molecular biologist – spent his life researching natural plant extracts that supported the body during cancer. His work attracted the interest of doctors, helped countless patients, and even supported former French President François Mitterrand through advanced prostate cancer.
And then… nine months after Mitterrand died, the French army sent a full SWAT team to Sylvie’s father’s small lab in rural France.
Machine guns. Dogs. A helicopter circling overhead.
All to shut down a scientist in his seventies.
This conversation is wild – but more importantly, it’s hopeful, grounding and genuinely empowering for anyone whose life has been touched by cancer.
This episode offers something I think everyone deserves to feel: real, researched hope.
And just to be clear – we’re not making claims or offering cures. What we are offering is conversation, educatio and the chance to explore options with an open and empowered mind.
One of my favourite lines from Sylvie :
“These extracts give you time. The question is – what will you do with that time? You have to get to the root cause.”
As someone who had cancer myself, this hit home. This episode is such a powerful reminder that healing is multilayered – physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental – and that living joyfully is part of the medicine too.

Today I’m talking to Philly J Lay - author of The Natural Wellness Journal, host of The Wellness Way Podcast, and the creator of the Wellness Way Festival and her upcoming Health Hub day at the College of Naturopathic Medicine on 1 March.
Philly is often seen as a controversial character - but what I’ve always loved about her is that she’s relentlessly fighting for the greater good, even when that means being shut down or shadow banned. In this episode, she shares more of her personal story - including surviving a near-death medical procedure, living with chronic illness and autoimmune issues, facing a thyroid tumour, and then choosing to take a very different path to healing.
We talk about the pieces so many people don’t address when it comes to healing - trauma, mindset, nervous system, community support, and the environment you’re asking your body to live in. We also get into practical, real-life wellness - food shopping without going broke, reducing toxic load, simple daily breathwork, EFT/tapping, gratitude, and why finding “your people” matters more than doing any of it perfectly.
Important note: This conversation is for educational purposes and personal opinion only. Nothing discussed is medical advice. If anything brings up questions for you, please speak with your own medical professional.
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by conflicting health information, pressured into decisions when you’re scared, or like you just want to understand your body better - this one will give you plenty to think about.
Philly J Lay is the author of The Natural Wellness Journal, host of The Wellness Way Podcast, and the creator of the Wellness Way Festival and in-person Health Hub events. She’s known for her blunt honesty, deep research, and passion for helping people feel empowered to learn how their bodies work - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

This week’s episode is a short but deeply meaningful one – because the direction of the podcast is changing, and today I explain exactly why.
Over the past year of Cancer Cured Me, the clearest message from listeners has been this:
“Your story gives me hope.”
People on a cancer journey – and those who’ve come through one – keep reaching out to share how deeply they resonate with my belief that cancer wasn’t a punishment, but the catalyst that cracked life open. After nearly eight years of living this truth, I am ready to take the podcast where it always wanted to go.
This podcast is becoming the go-to space for real stories of hope – stories that show what’s possible, reshape limiting beliefs, and give you evidence that healing really can happen.
Expect conversations with:
Hope isn’t a fluffy concept. It’s one of the biggest predictors of survival.
When you hear a story of someone healing from something “incurable,” your nervous system receives evidence that it’s possible for you, too.
This is the heartbeat of Year Two of the podcast.
