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?

Here are three great episodes to begin with:

1. How to Be ACTIVE on Active SurveillanceIf you're in the “watch and wait” phase, this episode shows you how to actively support your body and mindset. You're not just waiting—you’re healing.

2. 3 Things I’d Do Immediately After a Prostate DiagnosisFeeling overwhelmed? Start here. I walk you through the first three steps to begin changing the inner landscape of your body—and start healing with purpose.

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.

With warmth and hope, Julie

We turned down surgery. We turned down radiation.We fired two urologists and found our own path forward.

That journey led us to HIFU, lifestyle medicine, and a healing plan that gave us hope—and results.

Now, I’ve turned everything we learned into a simple, actionable, and empowering course you can follow at your own pace. Click the link to watch my short video!

💡 This course is perfect for you if:

* You’ve been diagnosed with prostate cancer and are on (or considering) active surveillance

* You want to avoid surgery or radiation if possible—but still take action

* You’re feeling confused, unsupported, or overwhelmed by conflicting advice

* You believe in evidence-based healing and want to use food, movement, and mindset to transform your health

* You’re a partner or caregiver who wants to support a loved one with prostate cancer🛠️ What's Not Included:

This course is not medical advice and does not replace your doctor—but it will help you ask better questions, make clearer decisions, and become an active participant in your healing journey.

This is the low-cost course that will help you become more active on active surveillance.

If this episode helped you, or made you feel even a little more at ease, imagine what a full roadmap could do.

I get so fired up about this because seriously—why isn’t anyone talking about how to actually create energy at the cellular level? How can we strengthen our mitochondria to supercharge our immune system and help our bodies fight off cancer and rogue cells naturally?

It’s like the ultimate power source for healing—and it’s been hiding in plain sight!
