Are you tired for sifting through all the conflicting & confusing information online around diet & cancer prevention?

With recommendation and arguments on every side of this debate...from Raw Vegan to Keto or Carnivore it can feel impossible to know which diet is best for you.

In today's episode we strip nutrition down to what actually supports healing: a nutrient‑dense plate, smart macro balance, and habits that strengthen the body’s core systems.

I walk you through five clear principles that make food choices easier and more effective, without forcing you into an extreme plan or a second career in meal prep.

Here's some of what we're covering:

• our Ground & Root 3‑pillar approach
• five core principles for real‑world meals
• macro balance with higher protein and lower carbs
• meal timing, overnight fasting and seasonal ketosis
• blood sugar and insulin control strategies
• anti‑inflammatory foods and what to limit
• immune support and microbiome nourishment
• personalization with labs, lifestyle and preferences

A cancer diagnosis at 27 can steal your breath. On today's episode we share Lauren’s path from stage III melanoma to a career blending ICU nursing with Reiki and sound therapy.

We dig into the practical side of Reiki & how it can downshift the nervous system. Then move into the benefits of sound therapy: crystal bowls that lift, metal gongs that move energy deep, & drums that mirror the heartbeat.

You’ll learn more about how it all works as well as how vibration travels through our water-rich tissues to nudge cellular balance, reduce inflammation, & enhance coherence.

Here's some of what we're covering:

• Reiki as intentional relaxation and safety
• acupuncture, yoga, & mindfulness for nervous system support
• sound baths and brainwave entrainment
• bridging hospital care with integrative modalities
• building a personal healing toolbox and protecting rest

More about today's guest & how to connect with her:

Lauren Nielson (Aloisio) is a New England–based Registered Nurse, Shamanic Reiki Master/Teacher, and Sound Practitioner/Teacher. A melanoma cancer survivor, Lauren brings a uniquely integrative perspective to healing, bridging evidence-based medicine with supportive energy practices.

After being diagnosed with Stage III melanoma in 2015, Lauren turned to tools like Reiki, sound meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness to support her nervous system, emotional health, and overall resilience throughout treatment and recovery. These practices became foundational in both her personal healing and her professional work.

Lauren went on to bring the first offerings of Sound Therapy to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, where she supports healthcare staff in managing burnout, anxiety, and caregiver fatigue. Her mission is to increase education, awareness, and access to integrative wellness practices as complementary support within mainstream medical settings.

What if healing starts by teaching your body to feel safe again?

In today's episode we dig into the practical side of stress recovery and show how quick daily signals of safety—sunlight, slow breathing, grounding, gentle movement—can flip you from fight or flight into rest and repair.

When your nervous system settles, your immune system, sleep, digestion, and inflammation all shift in the right direction, making every other therapy more effective.

We break down the feel-good chemistry behind resilience. You’ll hear how to naturally boost dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin with simple habits like nature time, touch, massage, music, laughter, exercise, intimacy, and light exposure. These aren’t fluffy add-ons; they are actionable levers that lower cortisol, reduce pain, improve mood, and support cancer prevention by creating a biology that heals instead of defends.

Here's some of what we're covering:

• why regulation starts with the nervous system
• nature, breathwork, meditation, gentle movement as fast resets
• feel-good hormones and how to raise them daily
• overlap between exercise, touch, sunlight, and mood chemistry
• somatic release for stuck emotions
• gratitude, mindset shifts, and community for resilience
• simple, repeatable practices that compound over time

Step 1 in our 3-Part Recovery System is to calm the stress response. To help you do this, we are offering a FREE personalized flower remedy for anybody who joins our coaching program this month. Schedule a FREE strategy session to learn more!
