About this listen

Chemo brain, demystified: How mitochondrial stress and systemic inflammation drive brain fog, memory lapses, and slowed thinking—and what helps.

Food as a therapeutic tool: A simplified, modified Mediterranean approach (gluten-free, low-sugar, organic) to lower inflammation and feed the brain.

Support during treatment: Why timing matters for intermittent fasting, what to avoid during radiation, and where melatonin and select botanicals may fit.

Cachexia vs. “just eat anything”: Calorie-dense, therapeutic smoothies as a smarter alternative to ultra-processed shakes when appetite is low.

Home detox made doable: High-impact swaps (fragrance plugins, dryer sheets, plastic foodware, bottled water, microwaving in plastic) to cut hormone disruptors.

Stronger bones on AIs/Tamoxifen: The right form of calcium plus D3, K2, collagen precursors—and bone-loading movement—to reduce osteoporosis risk.

Mindset & the “cancer train”: How to pause urgency, build a healing team, and use breathwork, meditation, acupuncture, and graded exercise to steady emotions.

HRT after breast cancer—handle with care: Why this decision must be personalized (oncology, BHRT specialist, Dutch testing, vascular screening, tight lab follow-up).
