So you’ve had cancer and now you’re wondering what comes next. Maybe you just finished treatment and feel overwhelmed trying to put the pieces of your life back together. Maybe you’re terrified of a recurrence and can’t stop worrying about every ache and pain. Or maybe you carry a cancer gene and are ready to do everything you can to prevent cancer in the first place. You want to heal your body, lose the treatment weight, rebuild your energy, and finally feel like yourself again, but you don’t know where to start. I’m Michelle, an 8-year Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor, mom, and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I’ve been where you are, and on this podcast we’ll walk through it together. Here we talk about the real tools that help you detox and heal without the hype. We’ll cover everything from everyday ways to lower your toxin load to the top anti-cancer foods, how to rebuild your immune system, balance your hormones, and calm the fear of recurrence. You’ll also learn how to create a low-toxin home, what should be on your plate every day, and the surprising everyday things that can raise cancer risk. If you’re ready to rise from the ashes and build a body and a life you can trust, you’re in the right place. This is about more than surviving cancer. It’s about creating the healthiest, strongest version of you.

2: These Habits Prevent Stress & Cancer

Slowing down isn’t lazy. It’s medicine for your nervous system, and it might be the missing piece in your cancer story.

In this episode, I walk through the years leading up to my cancer diagnosis and why I believe stress was the common thread that set the stage. Caregiving for my mom through her stage four cancer, swallowing grief, pushing through burnout, even over-exercising, it all added up. There is a big difference between acute and chronic stress, how it hijacks your immune system, and why it matters for cancer prevention and healing. There are some simple, practical tools that calm your body that anybody can start doing today. It’s about building awareness and reshaping the terrain inside your body so it can finally start to repair.

You’ll Learn:

What happens inside your body when cortisol and adrenaline stay elevated for too long
The link between chronic stress and weakened immune surveillance against abnormal cells
Why my genetic testing showed no inherited cancer risk and what that revealed about environment
How chronic stress can flip on inflammatory pathways through epigenetics
Practical tools that quickly move your body from fight-or-flight into rest-and-repair
The role of boundaries, sleep, and slowing down as medicine for your nervous system
Why awareness is the first step to breaking free from chronic stress
