Ep. 122 – Stage 4 at 11 Months Old: How One Dad Built a Framework That's Helping Thousands of Families Fight Cancer

  1. Ep. 122 – Stage 4 at 11 Months Old: How One Dad Built a Framework That's Helping Thousands of Families Fight Cancer Season Johnson 1:02:17

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.

This is not just a story of survival. It’s a masterclass in advocacy, critical thinking, and what it really means to support your child’s healing—before, during, and long after treatment.

After her son was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two, they went through a 3.5 year cancer battle that included daily chemotherapy and hundreds of surgeries. This propelled her with an unstoppable mission to help others thrive through a cancer diagnosis using real food, supplementation, detoxification, and cleaning up their environment. She has received the coveted Weston A. Price Foundation Activist Award and the Children’s Health Advocate Award from the Nutritional Therapy Association for her work with pediatric cancer. And in 2019, she received the doTERRA Elevation Award for her dedication to helping families thrive through a cancer diagnosis through her non profit, The KICKcancER Movement. She also had the privilege of being the Health and Wellness Expert for the Oscars in 2018 and has partnered with the San Francisco 49’ers, Atlanta Braves, and Washington Nationals in teaching them how to implement natural solutions into their healing protocol. Through online programs, speaking engagements, and a podcast, she continues to educate and empower others on how they can use real food and healthy living principles to achieve lifelong, vibrant health and thrive through a cancer diagnosis.
