This episode is based on a blog post where Bonnie shares what she learned when healthy eating alone wasn’t enough. After doing all the “right” things nutritionally, she still ended up in a hospital bed with Stage 4 colon cancer.

If you’ve ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not feeling well, this story might offer some clarity—and maybe some permission to look at things differently.

Bonnie Smit had done everything she thought she was supposed to—eating clean, avoiding processed foods, staying on top of her health. But despite it all, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer.
