Share this episode with someone who is ready to make some diet changes.

I stopped eating these 7 foods after my diagnosis, but one of them is something most people still have in their kitchen right now.

I want to start by grounding this in something important: no single food causes cancer. What matters more is the environment we create inside the body over time, and how our daily choices influence that internal landscape.

This conversation centers on seven foods I personally chose to stop eating or significantly reduce, based on how they may contribute to inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and overall stress on the body.

The focus shifts away from perfection and toward patterns, because consistent choices tend to shape long-term health far more than any one-off decision. Small, gradual changes can influence energy, cravings, and day-to-day experience, reinforcing that meaningful change doesn’t require an overnight overhaul.

And one of the first foods on this list, which has been strongly linked to cancer risk, is something many people still consider completely normal to eat on a regular basis.

Share this episode with someone who's struggling with gut issues.

You can do everything “right” and still not see progress if your gut isn’t working.

I’ve seen how easy it is to focus on treatments and still feel like something is missing, especially after cancer. This conversation brings gut health back to where it belongs: as the foundation that supports everything else in the body.

I’m joined by Carley Smith, a nutritional therapist and certified GAPS practitioner who rebuilt her health after a Lyme disease diagnosis, by turning to food as medicine and focusing on gut healing. That experience now shapes the way she helps others approach the connection between the gut microbiome, immune system support, and long-term resilience.

You’ll get a clear understanding of how approaches like the GAPS diet and simple gut healing foods can support digestion, especially if you’re dealing with bloating, fatigue, or food sensitivities. There’s also a strong emphasis on making this way of eating practical and accessible, not overwhelming.

If you’ve been trying to move forward but still feel stuck, this gives you a place to start that actually makes sense.

You’ll learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[03:11] The illness that led Carley to her gut health journey

[11:41] What the GAPS diet is and why it starts with meat stock instead of bone broth

[21:07] The biggest misconception about the diet most people get wrong

[27:04] Your body's own signals for knowing when the gut has actually healed

[37:24] Who the diet is really for, including people coming out of chemo

[41:07] A practical day of GAPS-style eating before committing to the full protocol

[46:49] Why most gut healing falls apart before it even starts

[51:58] Carley's free gut reset and the meal delivery service built around it

Why do so many people focus on treatment but overlook what made the body vulnerable in the first place?

This conversation centers on what it takes to build a resilient internal environment, especially after a diagnosis or during recovery. I sit down with Dr. Stephen Cabral, a board-certified doctor of naturopathy who has spent over 25 years helping more than 300,000 people understand what’s really happening beneath the surface through at-home lab testing and personalized protocols.

I share my own test results in real time, which brings a level of honesty and clarity that most people never see when it comes to their health data. This challenges the idea that normal labs mean optimal health. It also shows how hidden deficiencies and toxicities can shape long-term outcomes.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting answers, this will help you understand where to look next and why it matters.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[04:50] Why cancer recurrence stays high and what actually weakens the body's terrain

[16:55] How functional testing uncovered what a decade of conventional blood work missed

[29:14] The nocebo effect and why conventional medicine keeps patients waiting to get sicker

[33:37] Live hair test review: stress patterns, mineral absorption, and elevated heavy metals

[50:51] How chronic stress depletes your minerals and which ones go first

[01:03:32] Supplementing strategically without overdoing it or relapsing
