Ivelisse is joined once again by her friend Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, board-certified naturopathic doctor and founder of the Karlfeldt Center, for a conversation full of hope and practical wisdom.

They begin somewhere you might not expect: with gratitude, and why it may be one of the most powerful "biohacks" for anyone facing cancer.

Dr. Karlfeldt opens up about losing his father to colon cancer and how that loss shaped his mission to care for the whole person, not just the tumor. He also explains why mold and everyday toxins could be quietly affecting your health, and why so many people never think to look. You'll hear how to begin uncovering hidden exposures in your own home, along with the gentle, restorative approaches he uses with his patients.

Whether you're on your own healing journey or walking beside someone who is, this episode will leave you encouraged and equipped to take your next step. Be sure to listen to the end for details on symposium replays and a free cancer summit, November 12–18!

Think blood sugar only matters if you have diabetes? Think again.

Ivelisse welcomes oncology nutrition consultant Jen Nolan of Remission Nutrition to unpack how blood sugar balance quietly shapes your energy, mood, sleep, cravings, and long-term metabolic health.

If you've ever hit an afternoon slump, battled brain fog, or found yourself reaching for snacks you didn't really want, Jen explains what your body may be trying to tell you, along with a few surprising signs that are easy to miss. She and Ivelisse explore the "orchestra" of hormones that work alongside blood sugar, why this conversation matters especially after menopause or hysterectomy, and how cancer treatment, steroids, and stress can throw things off balance.

Best of all, Jen shares simple, doable strategies you can start today, from a breakfast swap and the order you eat your food to an easy movement trick you can do without leaving your chair. Her message is full of grace: small, sustainable changes add up.

Tune in for practical wisdom that can help you feel more energized, sleep better, and take back control of your cravings. Plus, hear details about the upcoming Believe Big Integrative Health Symposium in Towson, Maryland!

In this latest release of the Believe Big podcast, Ivelisse sits down with Jason Jacobi, whose son Luca was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of two after a sudden episode on a normal, summer day.

Jason recounts the shock of that diagnosis and how his family's Christian faith carried them through it. He shares why they chose to pursue integrative therapies alongside chemotherapy, plus a favorite health tip along the way.

The conversation also touches on the emotional and financial toll of a pediatric cancer diagnosis, and the community that showed up to help. It's a candid look at faith, family, and finding support in the hardest moments.
