In some capacity, we have all been affected by cancer. Today we hear from Chris Vasami, former professional baseball player, hitting coach, father, husband, and strength coach. Living a life of substance and stoicism while battling thyroid cancer for more than 5 years. We discuss hormone imbalance, getting the thyroid checked, testosterone, sexual health, hashimotos, anxiety, depression, and all the symptoms leading to the diagnosis. 

If you take anything from this episode, it is that you are more than a diagnosis. Progress, family, stoicism, and staying present.

Show Chris some love. @Chrisvasami

Healthy Cell - use code HOTTER for 20% off. I love the multi-vitamin, and the vegan essentials! More than 240 million Americans take supplements daily in pill form, but poor nutrient absorption means the promised results are rarely achieved. Nutrients in pill form are mostly solid particles that are 10 - 100x too big to absorb (similar to fine sand).

Step into the therapists office. Have you ever had a strong emotional response you cannot explain or been involved in a toxic relationship? Have you been through a traumatic event and it alters your perception? Or have you had the desire to deep dive into why we feel, think, and live the way we do?

We discuss inner child work, healing trauma, shadow work, toxic relationships, and how to process.
