In the second half, we continue with Nate Edwards’ story as he shares how a follow-up appointment—long after his initial remission—revealed another unexpected diagnosis. Even with a prior negative result, ongoing surveillance through AFP and hCG tumor marker testing, along with advanced imaging, played a critical role in detecting cancer cells that had spread to his lymph nodes. At that point, Nate made the empowering decision to undergo RP-LND surgery instead of chemotherapy, choosing the path he felt best protected his long-term health. His message is clear: stay up on your testing, listen to your body, and always advocate for yourself—especially when it comes to men’s health. Nate has since transformed his experience into purpose through his foundation, CoffeesforCancer, created to remind others that they are never alone in their cancer journey. Sometimes a simple cup of coffee and a moment of connection can change someone’s entire day. You can learn more or support the cause at CoffeesforCancer.com.

In this follow-up episode, Ashlie Morris explores the therapeutic power of psilocybin and its growing role in modern medicine. Once misunderstood, psilocybin is now recognized for its profound benefits in supporting mental health and emotional healing.

With several states now introducing regulated psilocybin clinics, this episode sheds light on the science, compassion, and transformation that arise when holistic healing meets evidence-based research.
