Breast Cancer Conqueror Podcast

How critical is healing emotional trauma and stress for cancer prevention?

Honestly, if I were to start over with the 7 Essentials System®, I would put Essential #4 (Heal Your Emotional Wounds) as number one because it's that critical for healing.

Emotional trauma and stress are triggers that can initiate the development of cancer in your body. Over and over again, I hear from women in the BCC community that they can pretty much pinpoint the trauma and stress that led to the development of their diagnosis. However, healing emotional wounds from trauma is tragically sometimes the last thing people think about when receiving a breast cancer diagnosis. 

Today, join me on a journey of learning about how your emotional and physical health is directly connected, and practical ways to let the healing begin!

How can meditation help if you have been diagnosed with breast cancer? 

Countless studies on mediation have shown positive effects on decreasing psychological stress, depression, anxiety, fatigue, and fear of recurrence. Even more, cancer cells have receptor sites for adrenaline.

Therefore, you CAN stop fueling cancer by getting into relaxation mode (meditation) daily. It’s free, effective, and can be done at any location at any time!

Listen to this short podcast to learn more about the best meditations for Breast Cancer Conquerors and a few types of meditation techniques you can do right now.

Keep calm, and carry on!

Today I am going to dig deep and share my personal story about getting breast cancer—twice—as a breast cancer coach!

This episode is 25 minutes of uncovering my soul to understand the shame, disappointment, and fear—and the immense learning, finding of real solutions (that you can use today), and healing joys that my breast cancer journey has taught me. 

I couldn’t just keep my countless hours of research and discovery to myself, so I curated the 7 Essentials System® and the Survive & Thrive: Conquering Breast Cancer with Conventional Treatments and Natural Medicine self-paced program to give women a true healing plan—for life!

My dear Wellness Warrior, you never have to fear breast cancer again! You are now part of a worldwide Breast Cancer Conquerors community giving you the empathic support, practical healing tools, and world-class education to help you THRIVE!

First, I want to clarify that hormones do NOT cause cancer! If hormones did cause cancer, every hormonal teen would have breast cancer. We need our hormones for healthy brains, bones, immune systems, and cardiac health—they're an essential part of healthy functioning bodies.

However, there are TOXIC “hormones” called Xeno-estrogens or chemical estrogens lurking around your home and the outside world that CAN cause cancer. Tune into this short podcast to uncover where you can find these damaging Xeno-estrogens and actionable steps you can take today to clear them out of your life.

Mastectomy, chemo, and radiation—and then eleven years later: a metastatic cancer diagnosis. Instead of letting her world come crashing down, Karla Mans Giroux decided she will throw the party of the century for her 100th birthday and do whatever it takes to get there.

Algae is one of the most alkaline, chlorophyll-rich, high-protein, nutrient-dense foods in the world! Thanks, momma ocean!

Using the Advanced Gerson Therapy to Reverse the Breakdown of Human Health.

Cancer is a metabolic disease—a problem at the cellular level. You truly are what you eat. 

Glutamine, glucose (sugar), and processed toxic foods feed cancer. But the opposite starves cancer cells.

The late Dr. Max Gerson, "The most eminent genius in medical history," has the most storied reputation for reversing advanced cancer and degenerative diseases. 20 pounds of organic veggies and fruit, coffee enemas, and strategic supplements throughout the day are at the core of how Gerson Therapy restores bodies and kicks cancer far away! 

Today I am elated to talk with Dr. Patrick Vickers, the representing face of Gerson Therapy worldwide. He is personally trained by Dr. Gerson's family and is one of the few people who have studied Dr. Gerson's handwritten files. Dr. Vickers now continues to carry on Dr. Gerson's legacy through his Advanced Gerson Clinic in Mexico and speaking around the world.

It's beyond just treating the symptoms.  Killing the tumor isn’t the answer—truly healing the woman is. That means removing the parts of your life that lead to cancer and covering your life with what is beneficial and brings you joy.

Are planting with GMOs the “root” cause of dis-eases? Thanks to Jeffrey Smith’s trailblazing documentaries, books, speeches, and interviews, the majority of Americans are now rejecting GMOs due to health and safety concerns.

Listening to this mind-boggling episode will open your eyes to a link between breast cancer, your microbiome, glyphosate, and GMOs.

Why does X make me feel super sick but not my spouse? Does the BRCA gene mean I will definitely get breast cancer? Today, I am talking to Kashif Khan, CEO, and Founder of The DNA Company, to answer these questions and reveal how to do what’s best for your unique genetic makeup.

Trauma healing is not one-size-fits-all. Unhealed trauma can also lead to many diseases and, of course, the diagnosis of breast cancer can be incredibly traumatic for a woman and everyone who loves her. I know—I have been there, too.

This week’s honored guest is Dr. Aimie Apigian, the CEO of Trauma Healing Accelerated. She is extraordinarily brilliant and well educated as a Double Board-Certified Medical Physician: Preventive and Addiction Medicine, and she holds two Master’s degrees in Biochemistry and Public Health.

Do you sometimes feel mindless and just heavily going through the motions of your day? This is called the freeze response. Dr. Aimie will be sharing her wisdom on how to “un-freeze” and many other ways to help yourself and your loved ones heal.

Holistic pain management, sleep, anxiety, anti-aging, inflammation, and tissue healing are challenges you simply can’t put a Band-Aid on. This is why I interviewed Dr. William Pawluk, MD, MSc. He is considered the foremost authority on the practical use of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy in North America and focuses on healing the cause of the problem—not the symptoms. 

After 25 years of medical practice, academic positions at John Hopkins and the University of Maryland, and training in a wide variety of holistic health including acupuncture and homeopathy—Dr. Pawluk decided to step out of the traditional “house of medicine.” He learned that cancer grows best in an inflammatory environment. The adenosine receptor is in control of inflammation and PEMFs stimulate the adenosine receptor.

Therefore, PEMFs (along with your diet, sleep, stress management, etc.) are powerful tools to reduce your inflammation and therefore prevent cancer from spreading. This journey leads him to discover the power of PEMFs—safe, non-toxic, self-directed, self-controlled, and at-home pain and cellular health management. 

As a special gift to all listeners, Dr. Pawluck offers this free guide to Magnetic Field Therapy For Pain.

This is why I am thrilled to introduce Deanna Hansen, a Certified Athletic Therapist and founder of Fluid Isometrics and Block Therapy, to the Breast Cancer Conqueror community!
