65. RE-RELEASE: Can Acupuncture Help Prevent Cancer? with Dr. Amanda Tieu

2/29/2024
Dr. Amanda Tieu states, "Acupuncture has little to no risk and helps with pain, stress, and inflammation." She's seen many success stories, from helping couples with infertility to injured veterans who've tried everything for pain. In the case of Dr. Tieu's Army veteran patient, his Dr. suggested acupuncture as a last-ditch effort to try before getting surgery; spoiler alert, the veteran had so much success with acupuncture and pain management that he skipped the surgery! Dr. Tieu also discussed how acupuncture can inhibit the signals from the brain that are screaming, PAIN! It can block pain signals and turn down inflammation. I've had great success in using acupuncture to manage pain. I broke my leg snow skiing twenty-five years ago and didn't have the resources to get it fixed using surgery (I didn't have good health insurance, owned a business, and couldn't afford to take time off). I used acupuncture for pain management and inflammation. Fast forward to today, and I've trained for and completed five half marathons and surf five days a week. I can tell you that my experience with acupuncture has been nothing but positive! Dr. Tieu received her Doctorate degree in Naturopathic Medicine, Masters in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, and License in Massage Therapy at Bastyr University. She is board certified by the North American Board of Naturopathic Examiners (NABNE) and the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM). She has participated in local nonprofit organizations that sought to provide care to underserved patients, focused on acute injuries and post-recovery treatments of athletes at Bastyr’s Sports Medicine Club, and volunteered as a clinical care member at her local hospital. Dr. Tieu believes in providing quality patient care through an integrative medical approach. She is passionate about bringing sustainable changes to a patient’s overall health. Her current areas of interest are primary care, pain management, and dermatology.

64. RE-RELEASE: What Does Indiana Jones Know About Preventing Cancer? A Conversation with Archaeologist Dr. Bill Schindler

2/22/2024
Dr. Bill Schindler told me that in 2 decades of research, he’d learned two simple truths: In today's podcast, Dr. S. tells us we should ask ourselves not what we should eat but how; specifically, to look at food in an ancestral way that makes the food we eat as safe and nourishing as it can be for our bodies. Bill has spent his career studying indigenous groups worldwide and now understands that living a full and healthy life means understanding how people prepared their food hundreds of years ago. We had an enlightening discussion about fermented foods, nixtamalizing, organ meats, and farmer's markets. He explained that our digestive tract is very inefficient and "processing our foods," for example, eating sourdough bread can allow our bodies to absorb more nutrients from the food. His website states that our relationship with food does not exist in a vacuum. That is why diets don't work – they are always out of context because they do not consider the other aspects of "life" that are so important to us. How we acquire, process, store, share, and consume food is uniquely human and embedded in practically all aspects of our lives. So learning to eat like humans again is really about learning to live like humans again. I HIGHLY recommend purchasing his book, taking one of his online classes, or following him on social media!

62. Do We Need to Stop Burning Candles? The Truth About EDCs.

2/8/2024
What are EDCs and why should you care about them? Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) are a group of compounds that, despite being unnoticeable, have the potential to disrupt the delicate balance of our endocrine system. These seemingly harmless substances are part of our daily lives, from the products we use to the food we consume. EDCs lurk in unexpected places, impacting hormonal functions and, consequently, our overall well-being. I’ve invited environmental toxins and green living expert Deborah de Moulpied onto the show to give us the 411 on all things EDCs. Stick around to learn where these toxic chemicals are hiding in our daily lives and how we can minimize our exposure. Visit whydidigetcancer.com for full show notes.

61. RE-RELEASE: Is Tap Water Safe to Drink?

2/1/2024
61. RE-RELEASE: Is Tap Water Safe to Drink? A candid conversation with a toxins lawyer and health coach If you're going to only listen to one of my podcast episodes this year, THIS IS THE ONE! Wendy is a Toxins Lawyer and clean-living coach, and we had a candid and, at times, frightening conversation about tap water and cancer risk. Before cancer, I would say that I was suspicious but still trusting; for example, if the water was coming out of my tap, I believed the government was doing its job to keep us safe. Then the train derailed in Ohio, and within days the local government was telling its citizens the water was just fine. I'm not a water expert, but I know enough to figure out that the water is unfit for consumption when thousands of chemicals get dumped into local waterways. Wendy explained that when the clean water act was signed in 1974 that it worked well for the next 15 years. Then the local water companies decided they couldn't keep up with the water testing regulations, so the clean water act was amended. The EPA left it up to the discretion of individual water agencies to test or not test. Since then, only two additional contaminants have been added to the list of chemicals to be aware of. And let's be honest; new chemicals are being created yearly in our country. Sadly, this is an example of buyer beware; we can no longer trust the water from our tap. Here are my questions: 1. What's in my local water? Go to this site to check out what contaminants might be in your local tap: EWG Tap Water Database. 2. What can we do to drink water without contaminants? Filter, filter, filter! Wendy discusses her fav filters in this podcast episode. 3. How much is this going to cost me? Wendy says this is the most critical first step to detoxing, so it will cost money; UGH! But she has multiple suggestions for filters at a variety of price points.

The study, which looked at the cancer-fighting effects of the Mediterranean diet, found that people who reported eating less fish and more red meat showed several common abnormalities in their blood that suggested a higher risk of cancer.

60. Best of 2023

Today, let’s explore the two most downloaded episodes of 2023 for the "Why Did I Get Cancer?" podcast! These episodes left a lasting impact on our community and I had a great time going back and relistening to all of the great insights these guests shared. The first standout episode featured sleep expert Devin Burke. Devin shed light on the profound connection between sleep and overall well-being. It's not surprising that this episode became a favorite among our audience, as the information provided by Devin was valuable and addressed a common struggle we all share. I was a bit surprised to discover the second most downloaded episode, which was an episode that discussed the potential connection between boundaries and cancer. Known for his expertise in personal development and boundaries, Dr. Henry Cloud talked about our issues related to boundaries, codependency, and people-pleasing which could contribute to the risk of cancer.

1/18/2024
I loved my conversation with Holistic Nurse Practitioner Alyssa Siegel. Alyssa is not afraid to go against big pharma to tell us how to use pharmaceutical alternatives, such as supplements and tinctures. She believes that the body can heal itself if we create a healthy environment so our bodies can thrive. She is in hot pursuit of trying to find out what made her patients ill in the first place; what's the root cause of why they're sick? She believes that the body is designed to heal itself and that you can recover if you can lower your toxin load. She also talks about the emotional aspect of illness and how that can be a considerable contributor to staying sick. She was also very candid that the food most of us consume is very inflammatory, and it's difficult to heal when your body is in a state of inflammation. She offered doable health hacks so that your body can heal itself! Visit whydidigetcancer.com for full show notes. Get precisely what you need this New Year to hit your healthy 2024 eating goals.

39: Putting ‘Junk’ in Your Heart Will Make You Sick

12/14/2023
39: Putting ‘Junk’ in Your Heart Will Make You Sick A candid conversation with Dr. Henry Cloud Being vulnerable makes me uncomfortable, especially considering how I "used to be" before cancer. Before cancer, it was crucial to me to be liked. So, "to make" people like me, I didn't always share my opinions or let people get to know the "real me." When I received the cancer diagnosis, everything changed. Suddenly, I had to save my energy for healing, and I stopped caring if people liked me. I then started to look at some of my relationships. Some of my friendships needed better boundaries, and I needed to manage my expectations about the friendship. All of a sudden, I FELT FREE. I felt lighter and truly began to enjoy the people in my life. I first heard Dr. Cloud, author of Boundaries, on the radio twenty-five years ago. So, you can imagine how delighted I was when Dr. Cloud agreed to come on my podcast to discuss how our relationships can impact our health. My specific question to him was this, "can a lack of boundaries or being co-dependent contribute to cancer risk?" You've got to hear his surprising answer! Dr. Henry Cloud is an acclaimed leadership expert, clinical psychologist, and New York Times bestselling author. His 45 books, including the iconic Boundaries, have sold nearly 20 million copies worldwide. In addition, he has an extensive executive coaching background and experience as a leadership consultant, devoting most of his time to working with CEOs, leadership teams, and executives to improve performance, leadership skills, and culture.

38: Can a Lack of Boundaries Contribute to Cancer Risk? A candid conversation with Boundaries author, Dr. Henry Cloud. I was 33, single, and struggling with boundaries. I always picked the wrong guy, and then the relationship would blow up, and I'd be crushed and have a crisis of confidence. One day I was driving to a work appointment and switched on my radio and discovered Dr. Cloud on my local radio station. He spoke to my brokenness about my relationships. He taught me about boundaries in such a simple way! He stated that boundaries are like the locked door on a house; you unlock the door to let in the right people and keep it shut to keep the wrong people out! You can imagine what a thrill it was for me to host Dr. Henry Cloud on my podcast! I was geeking out :) He's been my mentor and life coach for twenty-five years, and I've never even talked to him. My focus of this interview was, can a lack of boundaries or being co-dependent contribute to cancer risk. Of course, I've been wondering if I've contributed to my cancer through the drama I've had in my personal life. I found his answer surprising, so make sure you listen to part one of my interview with Dr. Cloud.

11/30/2023
45: Can a Lack of Sleep Cause Cancer? Getting Better Rest with Sleep Expert Devin Burke I haven't been a good sleeper for the last twenty years or so. I overthink, and then I seem to get myself "worked up;" it takes me hours to fall asleep. Add in Covid and breast cancer, and I can tell you the last two years have been rough. This is why I was so excited to welcome sleep expert Devin Burke to today's podcast episode. One of Devin's tips was to start my day with a glass of water and then coffee. He suggests I go outside and look toward the sun (never at the sun!), drink my water, and wait an hour before coffee. I'm not sure I can do it, but I'm giving it a shot :) Here's the sleep tip I've already started to incorporate, and I'm telling you, it's helping me to fall asleep faster. Devin suggests going outside for five minutes a couple of times per day. The point is to give your brain a break and not try to solve any problems. He concludes that giving your brain some downtime helps to encourage your body to sleep deeper at night. This is harder than it sounds, so I had to leave my phone inside.

55: Things I Wish I Would Have Known 30 Years Ago, Episode 4: Taking Better Care of My Teeth Can Lower My Risk of Cancer.

11/16/2023
55: Things I Wish I Would Have Known 30 Years Ago, but I know them now! Episode 4: Taking better care of my teeth can lower my risk of cancer. And according to Dr. Kelly Blodgett, that doesn’t only mean brushing or flossing. He explained in our podcast that high-quality saliva leads to a healthier body. How do I improve the quality of my saliva? Find ten to fifteen minutes per day of peace. How does this help your oral health? When you start to relax, your blood flow is better all over your body, including your mouth. When the blood flow is good to your mouth, your saliva improves, which will then impact your gut health. When your gut health is better, YOUR HEALTH IMPROVES! I encourage you to listen to our episode, Can Root Canals Contribute to Cancer Risk? In our interview, we discuss holistic dentistry and how the health of your mouth can impact every cell in your body. Ensure you follow Dr. B.; he posts thought-provoking content on his social channels. InstagramFacebookYouTube Here’s a link to the book Dr. B mentioned: Gut Here’s are few more links about mercury and fluoride. This is how I educated myself so I could ask the right questions during the podcast episode. Smoking Teeth Video on YouTubeHolisticDental.orgAn Inconvenient Tooth Documentary The second podcast I unpacked in this episode is with Keith Bishop, a clinical nutritionist and retired pharmacist. The title is Daily Habits to Prevent and Fight Cancer! My takeaway today was that let's not make cancer prevention too complicated; there are simple habits we can incorporate daily that can knock down our risk. Keith also told me that while colon cancer risk seems to be going down for older folks, colon cancer in younger people is on the rise. Why? Keith believes a sedentary lifestyle is a significant contributor.

54. Is the air in your home making you sick? A surprising conversation with an air quality expert.

54. Is the air in your home making you sick? A surprising conversation with an air quality expert. I admit that after thirty years in this field, I assume that most of my "health decisions" are correct. Yet, whenever I record a podcast, I discover more things I'm doing wrong! GRRRRR…. At this point, I have two options: OR Of course, I'm choosing choice number 2! The small changes I make will eventually create a more significant impact. Fast forward to my conversation today with air quality expert Michael Rubino. Michael shared some recent studies that discovered a link between many cancers and air quality. My first thought was, "Sure, I can understand poor air quality and the link to lung cancer," but no, the study suggested that poor air quality can contribute to breast, pancreatic, and many other types of cancer. What?! The authors explained that pollution can impact our DNA and alter our immune response. This can increase inflammation, which contributes to cancer growth. The authors also suggested that in the case of digestive cancers, pollution can affect gut health and influence cancer development. Okay, now what? How do we make our homes safer without breaking the bank? Michael suggested some easy fixes, such as changing out your HVAC filter more regularly and having a good air purifier in the house. Give today's podcast a listen to learn how to test your home for air pollution and get more of Michael's great tips! Visit Michael’s website TheMichaelRubino.com and take The Dust Test.

07. Chris Beat Cancer, attitude is everything!

11/2/2023
07. Chris Beat Cancer, attitude is everything! Chris and I discussed the power of attitude in healing. In a world gone mad, attitude and outlook are the only things you have control over. You are in control of your reactions to other people, and situations-that's it! When we begin to realize that our outlook is the only factor we can control, then we have the opportunity to manage our stress in a more powerful way. According to Chris, stress is the single most important factor--the one barrier to healing cancer--that is most often ignored. You can do everything right: diet, supplements, and every therapy under the sun, but you need to address the stress to get well. Chris was diagnosed with stage IIIC colon cancer in 2003, at 26 years old. He had surgery but refused chemotherapy. Chris chose faith over fear and changed his entire life; he used hardcore nutrition and natural therapies to heal. His doctor told him he was "Insane," but he was wrong. Today, Chris is a best-selling author, blogger, global health & cancer coach, and speaker.

53: Can Grass-Fed Meat be Healing for You and the Planet? A Conversation with ButcherBox Founder Mike Salguero I'm always interested to understand a person's WHY. WHY did you start that business, or WHY do you feel that way about a topic? It's no secret how I feel about ButcherBox, and last week; I got to sit down with the founder, Mike Salguero. His WHY made me a bit emotional. His wife was ill, and they were trying to find grass-fed beef for the recommended anti-inflammatory diet. They couldn't it so they bought half a cow! They couldn't eat it all, so they sold the meat to friends, and ButcherBox was born. Mike is a visionary who genuinely wants to make high-quality protein available to everyone, no matter their budget. Give today's podcast a listen!
