Why Did I Get Cancer? with Deborah Herlax Enos

In 2019, my voice was so hoarse that people could barely hear me.

Along with my hoarse voice, I struggled to swallow food, felt a burning sensation in my chest, and on several nights woke up gasping for air—I was terrified!

After consulting with two different doctors, I finally received a diagnosis: GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease. I thought, Hold on, I am not a middle-aged man! GERD was something I thought happened after years of smoking and drinking too much beer.

My physician prescribed drugs (what a surprise), but not much else was suggested. So, you know me, I decided to take a deeper dive into the root cause of this disorder.

Guess what? I learned that the Vagus Nerve (the longest cranial nerve in the body) was probably the key player in fixing my symptoms.

I started to “work on” healing my Vagus Nerve. This included gargling and humming!

Today's podcast guest, Dr. Navaz Habib, aka The Vagus Nerve Doc, confirmed that gargling and humming are two ways to support this nerve.

He shared three additional suggestions that are easy to implement.

I can support my Vagus Nerve in just a few minutes a day, usually while doing other simple tasks or running errands.

I love that I can improve my health without setting foot in a gym!

P.S. I know what you’re thinking: yes, I will still be lifting weights at the gym, ha ha.

Vitali

I’m always looking for ways to support healthier, better-looking skin and I recently added Vitali Vita Exosomes to my skincare routine.

I start with the Vita Exosomes, followed by my 3% Skin Cell Restorative Serum, GHK-Cu copper peptide and Skin Awakening Moisturizer. I’ve been really happy with the changes I’m seeing. My skin looks clearer, feels softer and I’m noticing some of my dry patches disappearing and brown patches fading.

The products are an investment, but a little goes a long way. I definitely learned that after using too much in the beginning!

Momentous

These are my two favorite products from Momentous: Creatine and Collagen Peptides.

I've been using them all summer, and I'm happy to now tell you about them! I like to try products on myself before passing them along to you :)

I use the Collagen Peptides in my coffee to add protein. I find it helps stabilize my blood sugar and keep me from getting the coffee "jitters."

I've been using creatine for almost three months. One of my favorite benefits is how it helps powers my muscles and mind. Creatine replenishes ATP, your body's primary energy currency, to support strength, power, recovery, lean muscle growth, and cognitive performance.

I received a phone call last month and was asked to give a speech to a business group. My task was to teach this group how to live longer, healthier lives with more energy and joy. Oh, and I had to do it all in fifty minutes.

Challenge accepted.

But where do you start when people have busy lives and don’t have much time to start a new wellness routine? Start with sleep.

When you sleep, your body goes to work, cleaning out junk.

During sleep, your body removes rogue cells, makes repairs, and prepares for the next day.

Not getting enough sleep affects your hormones, cardiovascular system, and brain.

Did you know that getting less than 6.5 hours of sleep a night also increases your appetite? Researchers have discovered that you will crave about 200+ additional calories per day. Not a big deal for a day or two; however, those extra calories will add a pound of weight every 18 days.

When people ask me what habits I’ve changed since cancer, improving sleep is in my top 3.

Listen to today’s short episode while I share five of my favorite sleep hacks.

So, our government has removed lead from children's clothing, which should give you peace of mind about your little ones' safety.

Even low levels of lead can harm brain development, especially in children, potentially causing irreversible damage. Higher levels can also affect the kidneys and nervous system in both children and adults.

However, our government has NOT REMOVED LEAD from adult clothing.

Please make it make sense.

In today's episode, we discover how the clothing industry is truly the Wild, Wild West, with almost NO regulations to protect us from dangerous, toxic chemicals in our clothes.

The Clean Clothing Chick (Hannah Dunning) shares how we can confidently do a closet makeover and still look cute without breaking the bank.

When I asked Hannah, 'Where do we start when it comes to changing our wardrobes?' I have to tell you, her answer surprised me.

BRAS!

I know I was shocked too.

She had two more suggestions that surprised me too.

Tune in to today's episode to hear her non-toxic clothing hacks!

Timeline MitoPure Gummies

After my conversation with gerontologist Zora Benhamou about mitochondrial health and healthy aging, I decided to try Timeline's MitoPure Gummies.

I've been taking them for about three months, and one of the biggest differences I've noticed is better post-workout recovery. I also appreciate that they're gummies instead of another capsule, which makes them an easy and enjoyable part of my daily routine.

If you're curious about supporting your mitochondria, energy, muscle recovery, and healthy aging, I encourage you to learn more about Urolithin A and the science behind it.

Chatting with today’s guest, I never imagined celiac disease would come up.

But then he dropped a bombshell I had never heard before.

He told me that wheat used to have only 14 chromosomes, and that today’s wheat has 44 chromosomes.

First of all, what the heck is a chromosome? Plant chromosomes are like instruction manuals, guiding how a plant grows, develops, and reproduces. Here’s the twist: chromosomes shape plants, we eat those plants, and they end up shaping us too!

What I discovered from today’s guest, Farmer Tim, is that our bodies can easily digest wheat (ancient grains) with 14 chromosomes but struggle to process wheat with 44 chromosomes.

What does this have to do with our health or cancer prevention?

When your digestion falters, inflammation rises. More inflammation means more chances for disease to sneak in. Looking back, my own digestive battles before my cancer diagnosis make me wish I’d known all this sooner.

Farmer Tim also shared simple ways to feed your family well on a budget and keep extra toxins off your plate.

P.S. I also learned that our country mainly farmed organically until the end of World War 2. Listen to the episode to find out why!

In 2019, I became very ill. I experienced severe reflux, which made my voice raspy and left me with a constant sore throat. At times, I would wake up at night gasping for breath, and it would take several minutes to regain control of my breathing.

I went from doctor to doctor... What was happening to me?

Finally, someone diagnosed me with GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).

But hold on, doesn't that only happen to overweight older men?

Apparently not.

To improve, I had to learn to take care of my gut health.

Today's podcast features guest Dane Johnson, who faced life-threatening digestive issues. He struggled with severe Crohn's disease and colitis, leading to months of hospitalization. Now, he has learned how to heal and shares his tips for rebuilding gut health in this episode.

We often see cancer as a purely physical issue, but within holistic healing, today’s guest believes that the healing is deeply spiritual. 

I’m thrilled about today's podcast episode featuring the remarkable Dr. Katie Deming. As an oncologist, former healthcare leader, inventor, author, and podcast host, Dr. Deming has a wealth of knowledge to offer. My recent exploration led me to her captivating TEDx talk, leaving me in awe of her insights. Known as the "Conscious Oncologist," Dr. Deming has piqued my curiosity, and I'm eager to go into the intriguing aspects of her journey and expertise.

I am excited about this soul-nourishing episode!  

About Dr. Katie Deming 

Dr. Katie Deming is a renowned oncologist, former healthcare leader, and inventor who has dedicated her 16-year career to caring for cancer patients and improving their overall experience. Dr. Deming pursued her entire medical training at Duke University in North Carolina, where she honed her skills and developed a deep understanding of oncology.

However, fate took an unexpected turn for Dr. Deming. Following a profound event akin to a near-death experience, she underwent a transformative realization that prompted her to reevaluate her path in traditional oncology. Driven by a newfound understanding of the complexities surrounding cancer treatment, she recognized the limitations of conventional approaches and sought a more holistic understanding of healing.

In 2022, Dr. Deming made a significant career shift, leaving her role as a radiation oncologist to pursue a different path. Today, she offers integrative oncology support services, utilizing her extensive expertise to help patients bridge the gap between conventional cancer therapies and deeper, holistic healing.

This is a very special episode.

Why?

Because a good friend of mine asked me to pick my favorite podcast to pass along to his friend, who is battling cancer.

I’ve recorded hundreds of episodes. Do you know how hard it is to pick one?

I spent hours reviewing my episodes and found the one recording I felt would be most impactful for this friend.

It was an interview I recorded in my second year of podcasting with Dr. Kelly A. Turner, author of Radical Remission.

You’re probably asking yourself, why this episode?

I chose it for one reason.

It’s a simple message: happiness can help kill cancer cells.

Dr. Turner explained how positive emotions can affect your pituitary and pineal glands, flooding your bloodstream with oxytocin, relaxin, serotonin, and endorphins. She calls these “happy hormones,” and they will KILL CANCER CELLS.

Translation: These hormones have been studied for their potential to reduce the spread and growth rate of cancer cells.

This is not a hype up conversation; this data is based on numerous scientific studies.

One of my big takeaways is that being happy for five minutes may be enough to get this process going!

Please pass this episode along to anyone who needs encouragement today.

I felt anxious after recording an episode today.

My guest had the same cancer I had, and her oncologist has checked her twice a year for almost twenty years!

That made me wonder why my oncologist no longer checks on me. She said I only needed five years of surveillance.

Did My Doctor Drop The Ball on My Care? Or was this just my scan anxiety talking?

I pushed the pause button on my anxiety and realized I was having the oh-so-common scan anxiety.

Cancer scan anxiety is the stress, fear, or worry people may feel before, during, or while waiting for results from a cancer scan. In my case, the anxiety kicked in because I stopped getting the twice-a-year check, not because something new had happened.

Even after treatment ends or previous scans have been reassuring, it is common to feel nervous before appointments. Many people report racing thoughts, trouble sleeping, irritability, or feeling distracted while waiting for answers. These feelings are a normal response to uncertainty and do not mean someone is weak or not coping well.

Waiting is often the hardest part of scan anxiety. It can feel like life is on pause until the results arrive. During this time, I find that staying busy helps reduce stress. I work to maintain my normal routine, starting my day with prayer and gratitude and staying off of Dr. Google.

Today’s guest, Cindy Janecka, is a counselor, a twenty-year breast cancer survivor, and author of the book, This Can’t Be Happening. I met Cindy at a dinner event, and we immediately realized how much we had in common!

Today’s episode is encouraging for anyone who has ever heard those words, “You have cancer.”

Kirkland Signature Sea Salt Popcorn

I'm always looking for snacks that are simple, satisfying, and made with clean ingredients. One of my latest Costco favorites is the Kirkland Signature Sea Salt Popcorn.

I love that it's made with just three ingredients: non-GMO corn, coconut oil, and sea salt. The individual snack-size bags are also a big win. They're 90 calories, have zero sugar, and include 2 grams of fiber, making them perfect when I'm craving something crunchy without overdoing it.

If you're shopping at Costco and want a delicious snack with simple ingredients, this one is definitely worth picking up.

You asked, and I answered! 

I love your questions, and I love to talk. Sounds like a match made in heaven if you ask me. I did keep my answers short on this episode, and I have to tell you it’s well worth the fifteen minutes to give it a listen.

SPOILER ALERT:

I HATE TRACKERS. Okay, let’s call it a love/hate relationship.

My husband gave me a tracker for Christmas. At first I loved it!

I’d wake up and immediately go to the data to see “how I did” sleeping.

I began to check the app several times each day. Yup, I got a little obsessed with the data.

I can’t believe I’m going to tell you what happened next, but here goes, I allowed the data to dictate my mood. Here’s what I mean: if the app told me I slept great, then awesome, I was going to have a good day.

If the app told me my sleep was poor and that I should consider resting, I knew it was going to be a rough day.

I got so fixated on the app that I finally returned it.

Yes, I am tracker-free, and my stress level is lower now.

I will say that I did find some value in the data, and I wish I could use a tracker for a few days a month and then put it away. I also know that to get accurate data, you need to wear it consistently.

Listen to this short episode to hear how I feel about how much water we should drink in a day.

Air Dr.

I've been using the Air Doctor air purifier for almost a year and absolutely love it! I first heard about it from Dr. Mark Hyman, and even though it was a bit of a splurge compared to what I usually spend, I'm so glad I invested. Every time I change the filter and see all the gunk it collects, I smile, knowing it's doing a great job keeping my air clean! And I'm so happy that all that gunk isn't going into my body.

Today’s podcast guest, Dr. Sandra Kaufmann, is considered a pioneer in true longevity medicine and is an NAD expert. She has spent the last twenty years learning how Not To Age.

She has improved her skin, vision, muscle recovery, and immune system. Interestingly, she shared that even though her physician friends would tease her about her hacks, many would later, in secret, ask for her help with anti-aging.

What is NAD? NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide. It’s a natural molecule found in every cell in your body and is essential for staying alive and healthy.

Think of NAD as a helper molecule that gives your cells the energy they need to work properly.What does NAD do? NAD helps with:

Turning food into energy

Repairing damaged cells and DNA

Brain function and memory

Healthy aging

Muscle function

Metabolism

Without enough NAD, your cells can’t produce energy efficiently. Why do people talk about NAD and aging? NAD levels naturally decline with age, particularly after age 40. Lower NAD levels may be linked to: 

Fatigue

Poor or disrupted sleep

Slower metabolism

Brain fog

Researchers are studying whether boosting NAD might support healthier aging. How can NAD levels be increased? Supplements

Common NAD-related supplements include:

NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide)

NR (Nicotinamide Riboside)

Vitamin B3 forms like niacin

These are “building blocks” your body may use to make more NAD.

NAD 101

NAD is vital for energy and cell repair, but levels decrease with age, leading to increased interest in supplements and IV therapy.

Research is ongoing, and while some people report benefits, it’s not for everyone. For many healthy adults, NAD-related supplements appear reasonably safe when used appropriately, but you should always discuss with your healthcare provider if you: 

Take medications

Have liver disease, cancer, diabetes, or kidney problems

Are pregnant or breastfeeding

Very high doses of certain vitamin B3 products can cause side effects.

If you want to educate yourself about anti-aging, today’s episode is not to be missed!
