beat cancer

Jim Wilson is a legend in Australian sporting media. He has over 35 years in television and radio, and has travelled  to the most prestigious and watched sporting events all around the world. His mission as a journalist was always to give the very best he could and help the people he was speaking to let their talent and inspiration shine through. It was a very successful and meaningful career in media.

Now, with his wife Chris, he runs a media training company, MC's many events around the country, and owns a restaurant in the Hunter Valley of NSW called Wollomi Kitchen. After his long and successful media career, he is now at a stage in life where lifestyle and purpose is the goal. He wants to enjoy his life, run a successful restaurant and impact the world of medical research. Why medical research?

On his journey, Jim has experienced some heartbreaking tragedy. Not only did he lose his sister at 53 and father at 64 to cancer, he also experienced the devastating loss of his 6 year old son Sam, to brain cancer. His mission is to shake up the government, rattle some cages, and get much needed funding for medical research to help, as Jim says 'crack the code'  to get some answers, solutions, and cures for a disease that is crippling lives.

Jim is a great man, and one I am very grateful for his sharing of his journey and his passion. This is a conversation that will inspire you and empower you to be the best you can and do the best you can to make a difference in this world..

My mission in life is to help people love their food and love their health at the same time - Dr. Li

Team! Today we have a true legend paving the way when it comes to using food to prevent disease and ultimately make us healthier and happier individuals! Today we are joined by Dr. William Li. He is a physician and a research scientist, the founder and leader of the Angiogenesis Foundation, a renowned speaker, and the New York Times Best Selling Author of “Eat to Beat Disease.” Dr. Li does amazing work. The Angiogenesis Foundation is the leading nonprofit organization disrupting disease through angiogenesis, the process the body uses to grow new blood vessels. Their mission is to find a common denominator behind diseases to find a single arrow that you can send through all of them at once. His groundbreaking work has impacted more than 74 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. Dr. Li has a diverse approach to combating disease. In his work as a physician, he also developed a dedication to prevent, not only treat, disease through food. Through this dedication, he decided to focus on writing his book “Eat to Beat Disease” where he collided the worlds of life science and cuisine to learn how to achieve great health through the science of food. 

In today’s episode we specifically dive into:

• How food can cure cancer
• What bioactives are and how they affect our cells
  • How to understand the actual bioactives of food to know which foods yield the greatest benefits
  • Bioactive chemicals
• How to understand the micronutrients in foods through their geographical location and other key factors
• How food actually solves medical problems on the cellular level
• Anticarcinogenic food
• How to make healthy food simple

Legends, I was truly blown away by the deep dive into bioactives in today’s episode. I hope you found it as fascinating as I did.

Justine Martin is a resilience consultant, art therapist, artist, soon-to-be author and speaker, plus an advocate for medical care. She uses her own experiences of living with a disability to encourage others to take steps towards a positive future of their own by finding hope, overcoming adversity, and building resilience. She speaks from the heart, connecting with many audiences through her varied background in corporate, sales, art, volunteer work, and experiencing illness. She pursues any opportunity to inspire and empower members of the public, business owners, corporate teams, schools, and charitable and educational organisations. She has made many media appearances in television, radio, and print media over the years, and ran for parliament in 2010-2013.

 Her successful corporate life was turned upside down in 2011 when she was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Since then, she has battled three cancers and overcome a long list of serious medical conditions. Rather than allowing her hardship to overcome her, she has used it as a platform to inspire and make a difference in the lives of others.

A multi-award-winning artist, Justine runs wellness and art therapy classes in her studio in Marshall, Geelong. Her own artwork is available to purchase at JUZT Art Gallery, located at the Café Zoo in Drysdale, Victoria. To reach as many people as possible with her powerful message of hope, Justine has developed an online course for people struggling to overcome life’s adversities: “Resilience Mindset: How you can gain resilience and hope in 8 weeks”.

This is a raw, compelling and inspiring conversation with Justine, and one that I hope will motivate you to make the most of every second you are blessed to have on this planet. Enjoy it and please share it with as many people as you can, and believe would gain value and insight.

TEDX Talk, May 2022: Running and Life: 5KM Formula for YOUR  Success
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT_5Er1cLvY

650+ weekly blogs / 400+ podcasts / 26 marathon races / 5 half ironman races / 2 books / 1 Mt. Kilimanjaro / 1 TEDx Talk / 1 Ironman….

The holidays are a joyous time of year. There's always a lot of anticipation. Getting or giving the right gift, cooking, shopping, etc.  You're opening presents, you're spending time with family, you're putting ornaments on the tree while White Christmas plays through your cozy home. But for the McFerron family and their little daughter Genevieve, the anticipation wasn't a present wrapped under a tree, it was waiting for a phone call.

In the last decade of being an entrepreneur, Ania experienced self-doubt, death of loved ones, the end of a marriage, horrific car crash and brain cancer. She could have easily given up many times, instead she chose to see them as lessons on her Spiritual and entrepreneurial journey.

"The most recent "Spiritual reroute" took place on August 8th, 2019, also known as Lion’s Gate - which in Astrology is considered the most powerful day of the year. After falling on my face -- literally -- from a seizure, I ended up in the hospital. The MRI scans showed a 5 cm-wide brain tumor which the doctors believed to be cancerous, requiring immediate surgery.  The medical staff were preparing my family for the worst-case scenario - I may not be able to walk again, and will require chemo-therapy and radiation.  Even though my body was not fully functioning, my mindset was focused on health and experiencing life fully. I envisioned watching the sunset and putting my feet in the grass. I kept on saying I don’t have cancer, I’m having a cancer experience.”

To everyone's surprise (except herself) 2 weeks post-surgery, she started walking again. A month later, the new scans were all clear-- no longer needing chemo or radiation. The tumor was completely gone.

THAT’S the power of mindset and intention!

If this resonates with you, hit the link below I know Ania would love to invite you to a complimentary 30-minute call where to discuss and identify the top 3 shifts you can make now so that you can fully express yourself, show up authentically online, and make an impact from a place of SOUL, not ego.
