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.

6: How Jen & Darren Delvaux BEAT Two Cancers

What if surviving cancer isn’t about fighting harder—but believing deeper?

In this episode, I sit down with Jen and Darren Delvaux, a couple who’ve both heard the words “you have cancer.” Darren was diagnosed with brain cancer at 36, and years later, Jen faced breast cancer of her own. She’s now an integrative health practitioner and host of Not Today Cancer, and together they’ve turned survival into a mission to help others heal with courage, humor, and hope.

We explore how two diagnoses reshaped their marriage, what faith looks like when the future feels uncertain, and how they both found strength in surrender. You’ll hear the moments that broke them open, the laughter that kept them going, and the mindset that helped them rise together.
