Is a plant-based pattern like the Garden of Eden diet or the “Daniel diet” the ideal biblical way to eat? This episode looks at what the Bible actually shows about food across different periods: from the plant foods in Eden, to the permission to eat animals after the Flood, to Israel’s dietary laws, and finally to the New Testament's focus on faith rather than food rules. It also considers whether Jesus ate meat and why early Christians were told not to divide over diet. Instead of promoting a single required “biblical diet,” the episode explores how Scripture shifts attention from specific foods to the condition of the heart and to freedom under the new covenant.

Dr. Sue and I talk about what it’s like to go from treating breast cancer to becoming the patient herself, and how fear, uncertainty, and loss of control can linger long after treatment ends. We also dive into practical coping strategies like shrinking time to 24 hours, building a strong care team, and prioritizing lifestyle pillars such as sleep, nutrition, and stress reduction. Make sure to listen to the full interview to learn more.

Dr. Sue Hwang is a breast radiation oncologist based in Orlando, Florida, who was diagnosed with her own breast cancer after a routine mammogram revealed multiple tumors. During her treatment journey, she began journaling as a therapeutic outlet, which eventually led to publishing essays and writing her book, From Both Sides of the Curtain. Her experience transformed how she practices medicine, placing greater emphasis on empathy, survivorship care, emotional healing, and lifestyle medicine.

We discuss the following:

• Who is Dr. Sue Hwang
• Biopsy and confirmed diagnosis
• Emotional toll of diagnosis
• Taking time off to process
• Therapy and self-care tools
• Lifestyle medicine after treatment
• Survivorship fears explained
• Cancer and control
• Questions to ask doctors
• Advocacy and early screening
• Changes in life after cancer
