Suzy was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2009. Three months after surgery and radiotherapy, the cancer spread to her lymph nodes. When chemotherapy was recommended, Suzy began investigating alternative, natural and non-toxic cancer treatments and discovered the Gerson Therapy and the power of radical life change and faith. Eighteen months later she was cancer free! In September 2013, with a team of big-hearted volunteers, Suzy organized a faith-based holistic cancer conference called HealingStrong, and asked me to speak and emcee it, which was an incredible honor. The conference was a really special gathering of like-minded survivors and thrivers that birthed a big idea. Three months later, Suzy started a HealingStrong a free monthly support group in the Atlanta area with a focus on education, encouragement and sharing empowe

He was the science writer and assistant director of public affairs at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York  from 1974 until 1977 when they asked him to lie about the results of a study on a natural compound for cancer from apricot seeds called Laetrile. Moss courageously blew the whistle and it cost him his career. But the end of that career was the beginning of a much better one. He wrote a firsthand account of what went down in the book Doctored Results: The Suppression of Laetrile at Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research. And for the last forty years, Dr. Moss has dedicated his life to independently evaluate the claims of conventional and alternative cancer treatments all over the world. He has peer-reviewed numerous scientific papers for journal such as Blood, Current Oncology, Tumor Biology and many more. He has written and/

Today’s episode of the Chris Beat Cancer podcast features Will Bulsiewicz, MD, MSCI, (a.k.a. Dr. B), a board-certified gastroenterologist, gut health expert, and the author of Fiber Fueled: The Plant-Based Gut Health Program for Losing Weight, Restoring Your Health, and Optimizing Your Microbiome. Fiber is essential for a healthy gut, diverse microbiome and a strong immune system. It is, in my opinion, the most underrated nutrient. And as a result, 97% of Americans are fiber deficient! Fun fact: You can’t get fiber from animal food. It is only found in plants. In our interview Dr. Will Bulsiewicz and I talk about Fiber Fueled, how to heal and prev

At 16 years old Brooke was diagnosed with lupus and advanced kidney failure and told she might only have 6 months to live. She underwent aggressive chemotherapy and pharmaceuticals stabilized her disease but did not cure it. For the next decade Brooke struggled with lupus symptoms and side effects like multiple mini-strokes, then while in medical residency, with the intention of looking good for her wedding, she adopted a high raw 100% plant-based diet and “accidentally” healed her lupus! Dr. Goldner not only has an incredible understanding and track record reversing lupus and autoimmune diseases with nutrition but she also helps her patients overcome the me

In today’s interview, filmed aboard the Holistic Holiday at Sea Cruise, Dr. Greger and I talk about his incredible new evidence-based weight loss book, How Not to Diet. Why do I care about weight loss? Because obesity is the second leading cause of cancer. Excess body fat promotes hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, and immunosuppression. Losing excess fat and getting down to a healthy weight and BMI is essential for prevention and healing. Dr. Greger made quite a few surprising and fascinating discoveries while combing through the scientific literature to learn the best dietary strategies to lose excess weight and keep it off… Like how dinner calories are twice as fattening as breakfast calories (seriously!), the best intermi

The "hammer" most often used by physicians is pharmaceutical drugs. And in the case of surgeons, their hammer for back pain, knee pain, hip pain, etc. is to put you "under the knife," which often also involves hammers, saws, and drills. And if that doesn't work, anti-inflammatory drugs and pain pills.

Annie was raised in a one-room cabin with no electricity or running water that could only be accessed by snowmobile in the winter. At 26, she was hired as the youngest Vice President in a multinational company. Soon after, she was encouraged to attend happy hours and to drink socially to network with colleagues and clients in order to further her career. By age 35, Annie was a marketing executive responsible for teams in 28 countries. She had two young children and she was drinking almost two bottles of wine per night. That's when she realized she had a problem. After many failed attempts, Annie discovered a unique and powerful approach to understanding and conquering alcohol addiction, without the stigma, guilt, and shame associated with identifying as an "alcoholic" for the rest of her life. Annie's method has helped thousands of p
