What happens when cancer turns your whole life upside down twice?

In this episode, I sit down with Elissa Goodman, an integrative holistic nutritionist. She faced Hodgkin’s lymphoma, later developed Hashimoto’s after radiation, and lost her husband, Mark, to cancer in his mid-forties. She’s helped thousands of clients manage their health issues, created the EG Kitchen Cleanse in Los Angeles, and wrote the book Cancer Hacks.

We talk about the turning points that made her stop the rat race and start healing, the essentials that still anchor her day, and the tools she uses now. Grief, caregiving, mindset, and real community thread through the whole conversation.

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

What if the “healthy” supplements you trust are quietly increasing your cancer risk?

In this episode, I’m joined by Keith Bishop, a retired pharmacist, clinical nutritionist, cancer coach, author, and founder of Prevail Over Cancer. In his work he brings decades of experience at the crossroads of pharmacy, natural medicine, and cancer care.

His journey from pharmacy owner to cancer-focused practitioner started when a few of his family members faced prostate cancer. This pushed him to study food, genetics, and supplementation long before it was mainstream. This even made him “the witch doctor” in the traditional medicine community. The conversation covers the hidden risks of folic acid, what supplements are useless, and how testing can reveal the gaps that diet and supplements alone can’t fix.

You’ll Learn:



• Why folic acid supplements can raise your cancer risk
• What forms of minerals are almost impossible to absorb
• The link between the MTHFR gene and higher cancer risk
• How to manage nutrient deficiencies when your body can’t absorb food properly
• Why vitamin D doesn’t function like a vitamin
• How genetics can block the benefits of Vitamin D
• The three supplements Keith would never live without for cancer prevention
• The number one thing you need to focus on before supplements
• The biggest mistakes people make when it comes to supplementation
• The easy to follow rule Keith uses to guide his daily meals and portion control
• How infrared sauna use functions as a cancer cell killer
