536. Cancer Wasn't in the Plan: How I Found Out and What I'm Doing About It

June 24, 2025·38m

In this seriously personal episode, I'm flipping the script and taking you behind the scenes of my own cancer diagnosis, a twist that was never in the plan. I'm sharing every detail, from how I accidentally stumbled onto my uterine cancer (no, I wasn’t bleeding!) to the boatload of questions, second opinions, unconventional protocols, and tough-as-nails decisions that followed. I break down not only the roller coaster of emotions, but also the exact hormone strategies, labs, interventions, and healing protocols I’m doing now to support my recovery and kick my cancer risk to the curb for good. If you’ve ever wondered how a hormone and thyroid expert thinks through the mess of modern cancer rates, prevention, treatment options, and post-surgery recovery, or if you just want the real, unfiltered truth about hormone replacement, cancer screening, and taking control in a toxic world, this is your must-listen episode. Whether you’ve faced that "C word" yourself or you’re all about next-level health hacks and prevention, this story is packed with honesty, practical takeaways, and the hope you need to stay fierce no matter what. Trust me, you’ll walk away smarter, empowered, and maybe even a little more badass. My Healing Protocol WHAT DO MY LABS MEAN?!
