As many of you know, integrative oncology is a passion of mine. That’s why I’m always looking to bring on some of the brightest in the space, to get their take on different complementary therapies when it comes to healing cancer. Join me in today’s episode as I speak with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, a naturopathic doctor and PhD who has been in clinical practice since 1987 and runs a busy Integrative medicine center, The Karlfeldt Center, in Boise, Idaho. Dr. Karlfeldt believes in the innate intelligence and healing power of the body, and his passion to promote Natural Health publicly has lead him to be a sought after lecturer, writer, and educator. We covered so much in this conversation – from new and innovative complementary cancer therapies to nutrition to the power of mindset. I hope the information in this episode encourages you, especially if you or a loved one is facing a cancer diagnosis.

What happens when what you feel doesn’t line up with what’s true?

In this episode, I sit down with Erica Gwynn — author of That’s Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies You Didn’t Know You Believed with God’s Unchanging Truth — for an honest conversation on discerning truth in a world full of “half-truths.” We talk about how feelings aren’t facts, finding peace in God’s sovereignty through suffering, and why trusting Him often means surrendering control of the story we thought we’d live.

Erica shares her journey of motherhood, faith, and healing after her daughter’s premature birth — and how God used a painful season to reveal His purpose. We also dive into the lie of manifestation, the tension between free will and divine direction, and what it means to live with intentional rhythms instead of constant hustle.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, control, or wondering whether you “missed your shot,” this conversation will remind you that God’s plan is never late, never wasted, and always good.

Join me as I sit down with Dr. Limor Goren — cancer researcher, molecular biologist, and founder of Kyoord — to explore olive oil’s powerful health benefits. Dr. Goren, renowned for her work on oleocanthal, a potent polyphenol in high-phenolic olive oil, has shown how it selectively punctures cancer cell lysosomes, triggering cell death while sparing healthy cells. In this episode, we discuss what polyphenols are, their healing properties, and how high-oleocanthal olive oils are made — plus tips for choosing the best one for your kitchen. From groundbreaking research to sourcing award-winning oils in Corfu, Greece, Dr. Goren’s journey offers a science-backed look at how one simple ingredient can transform your health.

I’m so excited to share this week’s NEW episode with Nicole Zasowski, a Marriage & Family Therapist and the author of What If It’s Wonderful?, From Lost to Found, and Daring Joy. In this conversation, we talk about why joy can feel so vulnerable, why our minds often default to worst-case scenarios, and how we can find the courage to embrace the good in our lives instead of always fearing what’s around the corner. For so many of us, it feels safer to prepare for disappointment than to fully lean into joy — but in doing so, we miss out on the very moments we’re longing for. Nicole shares powerful insights and practical steps to help us shift our perspective, regulate our thoughts, and truly celebrate both the small and big moments that make life meaningful.

Today's episode is very special to me because I get to sit down and chat with my cousin Gina. I always joke with her that any of our phone conversations would make great podcast episodes, so I figured we might as well record one. In this episode, Gina and I discuss how to trust God when our feelings suggest otherwise, what to do when our thoughts don’t align with scripture, how to make decisions when we feel like we aren't getting a clear answer from God, and the power of speaking the word.
