Why Did I Get Cancer?
86 episodes - English - Latest episode: 3 days ago - ★★★★★ - 40 ratingsI did all the right things to prevent getting cancer. A certified health coach, nutritionist & wellness speaker, I thought I’d be the last person to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Why did I still get it? Was there something else I could have done to prevent it?
A couple years later, I am grateful to be cancer-free and now I’m on a mission to share everything I’ve learned about mitigating risk, managing symptoms, and staying mentally well when bad things happen – even if you “did everything right!”
‘Why Did I Get Cancer‘ features:
• Eye-opening information about health/cancer risks that surround us (and solutions to mitigate risks)
• Health & lifestyle tips to lower risk (easier and quicker than you’d think!)
• Inexpensive solutions for lowering cancer risk

73. Does Glyphosate Contribute to Cancer? (RE-RELEASE)
April 25, 2024 09:00 - 46 minutes - 43 MBThis podcast made me both sad and MAD. I interviewed Glyphosate Girl, Kelly Ryerson about the damage glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup) does to our environment and our bodies. Kelly Ryerson has spent years in the trenches explaining to anyone who would listen why this chemical is so dangerous. It’s such an easy default to just use a heavy load of chemicals to kill weeks. Did you know that there are simple alternatives to using such a large amount of chemicals in farming? Kelly a...

April 04, 2024 12:06 - 37 minutes - 33.9 MBThis is a topic I don’t know much about, so I was looking forward to interviewing Cancer Prevention Coach and nurse, Krista.
