Not all vitamins work the same. What if the difference between helping your child heal… and unintentionally holding them back… comes down to how you're using something as simple as vitamin C or D? In this episode, we're talking about two of the most commonly used nutrients in cancer care(vitamin C and vitamin D) and why dose, source, and strategy matter more than most people realize. This conversation comes from a live office hours session with Dr. Charles Pennick, where we walk through how these nutrients actually function in the body, the difference between synthetic and whole-food forms…

This is a practical, step-by-step conversation designed to help you identify hidden risks and make more informed decisions about the spaces you live …

What happens after treatment ends… and no one tells you what comes next? There's a moment every cancer family reaches—the bell rings, scans are clear, and suddenly you're expected to just move on.

In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact functional testing roadmap we use with families at Biodynamic Wellness to rebuild the body after cancer treatment. This isn't about guesswork—it's about understanding what's happening beneath the surface so you can support true, lasting recovery. We're talking about the five key tests th…

What if one of the biggest missing pieces in cancer healing isn't physical at all? In this incredibly powerful episode, I'm joined again by Dr. Tony Jimenez, founder and chief medical officer of Hope4Cancer Treatment Centers, to talk about something that every family walking through cancer needs to hear: the connection between Emotions, Trauma, Stress, and healing. Dr. Tony shares why emotional healing is not optional during a cancer journey — it's foundational. We talk about how unresolved trauma can quietly impact the body at the cellular level, why hope truly matters in healing, and how e…

There are some conversations that stay with you long after the recording ends, and this was one of them. When I first came across Brady Lucas and heard pieces of his story, I immediately knew I wanted him on the podcast. As a cancer mom myself, hearing from survivors who are now thriving years later brings so much hope — not just for me, but for every family walking through this journey right now. Brady was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at just 8 years old. After enduring years of chemotherapy, he relapsed as a teenager and underwent a life-saving bone marrow transplant donated…

What would you do if your child's life depended on decisions no one is fully explaining to you? In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Sternagel—a father, advocate, and founder of The Stern Method—whose son was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma just before his first birthday. What followed wasn't just a cancer journey… it was a complete rethinking of how healing actually works. Ryan shares how he and his wife navigated misdiagnosis, pushed for answers, faced pressure from the medical system, and ultimately chose a path that blended conventional care with powerful integrative support. T…

It's about awareness, ownership, and giving your baby the best chance to thrive—bef…

In this episode, I sit down with Roxy and her mom, Diana, to share a story that is both deeply emotional and incredibly hope-filled. Roxy was just four years old when her family discovered a lump that would quickly turn their world upside down. From diagnosis to treatment, and then facing a relapse scare, Diana shares what it was like to walk through fear, uncertainty, and the weight of life-altering decisions as a parent. But what unfolds in this conversation is something even more powerful—a story of faith, resilience, and the unwavering belief in healing. From Roxy's childlike confidence …

In this episode, I dive into one of the most challenging decisions many cancer parents face—how to protect your child from infection without unintentionally causing further harm. We're talking about PJP (Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia) and the standard use of long-term prophylactic antibiotics during treatment. While the intention is to prevent a serious infection, I explore the growing concern that this approach may be compromising the very immune system it's meant to protect. Drawing from both research and my personal experience, I unpack what's often not discussed in the oncology settin…

We found healing, community, and joy in a beautiful, humbling place that gave us a new perspective on life. I also talk about the incredible Legacy of Kim Schuette, founder of Biodynamic Wellness. Kim guided m…
