How to Overcome Cancer Fatigue Naturally
Jul 1300:32:01Tap to summarizeCancer fatigue is one of the most common and frustrating challenges women face during and after breast cancer treatment. It is more than simply feeling tired. It is the kind of exhaustion that lingers despite a full night's sleep and can make it difficult to return to the life you love. In this inspiring episode of the Never Fear Breast Cancer Again podcast, De'Ann sits down with naturopathic doctor and integrative oncology expert Dr. Jessa Landmann to explore why cancer related fatigue happens and, more importantly, what you can do about it. Together, they discuss the many hidden contributors to low energy, including inflammation, insulin resistance, poor sleep, loss of muscle mass, emotional stress, and nutrient deficiencies. Dr. Landmann also shares practical, evidence informed strategies to help you rebuild your energy naturally through nutrition, movement, nervous system support, and targeted testing so you can take meaningful steps toward feeling like yourself again. As a special gift for our listeners, you can receive 20% off Dr. Landmann's book, Beyond Cancer Fatigue: A Path to Reclaiming Energy, when you use code BCF20 at checkout. One nutrient that deserves special attention is vitamin D. Healthy vitamin D levels play an important role in immune function, bone health, mood, and energy production, yet many women are surprised to learn they are deficient. If you have not checked your levels recently, speak with your practitioner about testing. And if you are looking for a high quality supplement, our Breast Cancer Conqueror Vitamin D3 with K2 is formulated to support optimal absorption and is an excellent addition to your healing toolkit.

How to Create a Healing Plan Designed for Your Body
Jun 2200:45:35Tap to summarizeIf you've ever wondered why some healing plans work for one person but not another, this episode is for you. Today, I'm joined by Heather Cooan, a double board-certified oncology nutrition consultant and founder of Soil to Soul Nutrition. Heather shares how a personalized, data-driven, and bio-individual approach can help you cut through the confusion of conflicting health advice and create a healing plan based on your unique genetics, health history, and current needs. Heather also gets it. She has faced vulva cancer, Hashimoto's likened sclerosis, and ongoing challenges related to complex PTSD. Which is why, similar to our 7 Essentials System®, Heather focuses on nutrition and nervous system regulation as the foundations of her work. Because Healing Your Emotional Wounds (Essential #4) is equally important as the food you choose to eat. It's all connected. Which is another reason all of us BCC Coaches are big advocates of optimizing your Vitamin D levels with our Vitamin D+K, as this vitamin is just as critical for your mental health as well as your physical health. Buckle up and take notes; this episode is bursting with insight, and her recent article is the best place to start: Nutritional Shortfalls of Vegan Diets: What Your Genetics, Protein Sources, and Lab Work Can Tell You.

Red Light Therapy, Mitochondria, and the Future of Your Healing
Apr 600:43:25Tap to summarizeLight is something we interact with every day, yet most of us rarely stop to consider how profoundly it influences our biology, including energy production, cellular health, tissue repair, and overall health. Our brilliant guest, Ari Whitten, is the founder of The Energy Blueprint, a bestselling author, and one of the leading educators in photobiomodulation and human energy optimization. With a background in exercise science, human nutrition, and functional medicine, Ari has deep expertise in mitochondrial health, circadian rhythm and sleep, nutrition, gut health, light therapies, fitness, and hormetic stress.

However, your levels naturally decline with age, so pairing Nano CoQ10 with light therapy and a healthy lifestyle works synergistically for optimal healing!

How Mindset Shapes Thyroid, Breast, and Whole-Body Health
Mar 2300:47:44Tap to summarize"80% of your healing is MINDSET." - Dr. Heather Stone. Dr. Heather Stone, DC, is a leading expert, author, and speaker known for her root-cause, investigative approach to thyroid health, Hashimoto's, and complex "mystery health challenges." For more than 20 years, she has helped women uncover the hidden drivers of illness—many of which overlap with breast cancer—and reclaim vibrant, lasting health. Mindset is the way you think and feel that programs your subconscious mind. It's literally running your life. In reality, if you stop, evaluate, and honestly answer questions like: What am I thinking? What do I believe about my body's ability to heal? How am I feeling about what is possible for me? You may be shocked by how easily you can move the needle in your healing once you work on the 80%. Tune in to dive deep into her mindset strategies and the other intentional steps she takes with the thousands of women she has helped find vibrant health with her Thyriod Transformation Blueprint. The conversation also explores key physiological strategies, including the importance of maintaining balanced iodine levels. One of Dr. V's major ah-ha moments was increasing her iodine levels. Once she did that, her healing also soared. Click here to learn more about the iodine, thyroid, and breast cancer connection—and learn more about our Iodine Support supplement here.

How Chronic Stress Quietly Hijacks Your Health
Mar 900:53:51Tap to summarizeStress = mental and physical health issues, is nothing new. We all know that. Which is why we reached out to Dr. Jorina Elbers, a board-certified neurologist and HeartMath Medical Director. To go deeper into what our bodies are trying to tell us through stress and the damage it causes. She explains how chronic stress and trauma can dysregulate the nervous system. This leads to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, sleep issues, pain, digestive problems, and emotional overwhelm. Rather than seeing these as separate issues. She shows how they're often connected by a single root cause: a system stuck in fight-or-flight or shutdown. Tune in to learn more about how to step out of your stress shutdown cycle of damage. Why the medication-first model often misses the bigger picture. And, most importantly, discover drug-free and evidence-based tools that can help restore balance.
