Thrive Through and Beyond Cancer

Let me ask…have you ever experienced any of the following?

• Heartburn
• Acid reflux
• Bloating
• Belching
• Anemia
• Nausea
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Easily sunburned

If so, you need to look at your body's ability to digest food and at its need for hydrochloric acid…and this is exactly what I talk about in today's podcast episode!

When I started as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I focused on digestion. Your digestive system is not only responsible for absorbing nutrients, but it can also inhibit the absorption and trigger disease and illness.

So, I'm going to break all of this down by explaining why you need hydrochloric acid, explain the pH scale, what happens to undigested foods, how this break down impacts your immune system, give you a detailed explanation of how the digestive process looks like if things are going well vs. the reality of what most people experience, and equip you with 10 practical and simple steps to help solve the problem.

I'm so excited to introduce you to my dear, dear friend, Shauna Dukes! She inspires me every single day, and it's been such a blessing to me and my life to watch as she has navigated a cancer diagnosis, the loss of her child, and is now stepping into a beautiful role of God using her story to give hope to others! Be prepared to laugh and cry with us as she shares her story, opens up her heart about death, grief and pain, gives insight about the idea of the "backpack", and discusses the importance of your choices and finding purpose in your pain. Our talk is filled with hope, and I know this conversation will bless you as much as it did me!

"What kind of water should I drink?"...I can't tell you how many versions of this question I receive, especially recently.

Second to oxygen, water is the most essential thing to your health, and sadly, most water is contaminated with toxic chemicals and residues that can hinder a healthy vitality. So, let's jump into the deep end of this topic, and I'm going to share some research, proven facts, and answer some of the most common questions I receive about water.

On today's podcast, I want to give you 10 practical and easy-to-implement ways that you can mitigate the side effects that you or your loved one might experience while going through cancer treatment, particularly in relationship with chemotherapy and radiation.

Now…this episode is jam packed with information, step-by-step directions and practical tips, and you can't do it all today. However, over time, you can, so my one encouragement to you is that at the end of this episode, choose just one thing you can do today…and build upon that!

Oh my…today's interview with Mark McAfee (aka. Papa Mark, as he's known in our family) left me feeling fired up, and I think you guys are going to love it!

Mark is the CEO and Founder of Raw Farm, the largest raw milk farm in the world. He's passionate about the immune system, a tenacious and persistent student of raw milk, and his wisdom and knowledge is endless! We talk about everything from his background, the power of gut diversity, what raw milk safety really means, inflammation, the relationship between cancer and bacteria, what to look for in a "clean" farm, and even sprinkle in some really powerful stories. This episode is packed and has the potential to be a real game-changer for you!

Also, an important note…we did have a couple of very small glitches due to struggling internet during the interview. The nature of the interview wasn't compromised, but I do ask for grace in a couple of places that got a little fuzzy! :) Thanks!
