Hi, I’m Julie—and I created this podcast and space for one simple reason:
Because the first days, weeks, and months after a prostate cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. And they shouldn’t have to.
I’m walking this healing path with my amazing husband, and I know what it’s like to search for answers late at night. To try to help someone you love. To feel like there’s no clear roadmap.
This Substack and podcast were born from that place—and from a deep belief that you’re not just waiting—you’re healing.
Who This Is For
If you’re:
* Newly diagnosed and unsure where to start
* Considering active surveillance
* A partner or family member trying to help
* A survivor focused on staying healthy
* Or someone working on prevention and long-term wellness
You’re in the right place.
What You’ll Find Here
Each week, I share smart, science-based, and deeply supportive content to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
* 🎙️ Podcast episodes that break down complex topics in plain language
* 🥗 Simple food and lifestyle changes backed by research
* 💚 A calm, grounded space to feel encouraged—not overwhelmed
* 📓 Healing tools I’ve created—like guided journals and a short course that lays out a complete healing blueprint
I’ve reviewed the research, cooked the meals, and walked this path alongside my husband and others. Everything I share is something I truly believe can help.
Not Sure Where to Start?

3. The Truth About Meat, Dairy, and Your Prostate What the Research Really SaysEvidence-based, empowering insight into what you can eat to support your health and reduce risk.
Why I’m Doing This
I’m not a doctor—but I am a functional medicine health coach, a college professor who loves researching, and a wife walking this healing path with my incredible partner.
I’m also a home cook who finds joy in farmers’ markets and using food as medicine. And I believe deeply in the power of daily habits, emotional support, stress relief, and real food to transform your health.
I created this space because I didn’t want people to feel as alone as we once did. And because there’s so much you can do to support your healing—starting today.
Here’s what I believe:
If your goal is to avoid surgery—or even radiation—you have to take charge. You have to empower yourself. No one else is going to do it for you.
You have to ask yourself: Am I going to be passive… or am I going to participate in my healing?
Personally, I’d much rather take action—real, research-backed action—than just wait and hope. And I know I’m not alone.
As humans, we are wired to thrive. To heal. And we can—if we give our bodies the right tools. I believe lifestyle medicine can absolutely transform your situation.
