What happens after the words “you’re cancer-free”? In this powerful new episode, we sit down with Lisandra Cruz, RD, LDN, a Hodgkin lymphoma survivor, autologous bone marrow transplant recipient, and registered dietitian whose personal journey reshaped her entire approach to care. Lisandra opens up about the emotional and physical challenges that begin after treatment ends, from rebuilding trust with your body to navigating the uncertainty of a “new normal.” She shares how survivorship transformed her private practice, her philosophy on compassionate, accessible nutrition care, and her mission to create honest conversations through her own podcast. Whether you're a survivor, caregiver, or healthcare professional, this episode shines a light on what it truly means to heal beyond survival, and how community, nourishment, and empathy play a critical role.

At 19, Krista Anderson lost a kidney to cancer. By 21, she was facing Stage 4 cancer and given just three months to live. Against all odds, she survived — and transformed her pain into purpose. Through her journey, Krista discovered a gap in the world of food access for patients and caregivers: the lack of clean, nutritious grab-and-go options. That realization sparked Healthy on the Go, a mission-driven company now bringing better food choices to hospitals, airports, universities, and corporate campuses across the country.

In this episode, Krista shares how resilience, faith, and determination fueled her fight — and how she built a business that empowers others to live well.
