Today, Lisa is discussing a sensitive topic: cancer. A cancer diagnosis is one of the scariest things anyone has to deal with, whether personally or while supporting a loved one who is ill.

For too long, we have treated cancer like an end-of-the-world disease. But you don’t have to give up all of your power. There are lifestyle adjustments you can make so that your disease doesn’t become your identity and to give yourself a fighting chance to put cancer into remission.

Lisa invites her friend John Lewis to join the discussion. He shares his story and why he is passionate about living a plant-based lifestyle. John talks about his mother’s diagnosis of colon cancer and why that jump-started his commitment to veganism and staying active. He offers advice to those battling cancer, including mindset and lifestyle shifts that helped him and his mom through their journey with cancer.

Lisa and John also discuss cancer prevention and the importance of staying in tune with your health. They debunk common misconceptions about plant-based diets, and Lisa outlines the protocol for her 30-Day Plant-Based Vegan SOS Challenge.

Change starts with a choice to take action. You have to believe in your decision to see results. Tune in to learn how an intentional approach to diet, chronic stress, and rest can increase the odds of putting cancer into remission.

Does your effort, meaning the time, energy, and work you are putting into your goals, match the results? If the answer is no, you have an addiction to working.

You might not think of this as a problem. After all, it is better than the opposite, like never finishing a project or struggling to start. We live in a culture that praises hard work and accomplishment. But overwork leads to burnout, and burnout leads to chronic stress.

In this episode, Lisa discusses the addiction to overworking, unbridled ambition, and chronic stress. She shares the beliefs she was holding on to that kept her stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and burnout.

Lisa explains what you can do to combat the new, dangerous, and prevalent lifestyle disease: work addiction. She explains not just how to eliminate chronic stress from feeling like you are never doing enough, but also how to make sure you don’t return to the mindset of doing too much.

If you are constantly pushing yourself to hit goals and be successful, but feel like your ambition is getting in the way of your health and peace, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the five things that compel you to overwork and over-commitment, and how to balance your drive with your health.
