Throughout the conversation, Teresa opens up about making informed choices in her treatment journey, including her decision to prioritize lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, and eventually pursuing pregnancy after cancer. Despite fear and criticism from others, she followed what felt aligned for her, later becoming involved in advocacy and international research helping prove that pregnancy after hormone-positive breast cancer can be safe. Her story is one of courage, self-advocacy, and using personal pain to create meaningful change for others.

Hayley and Teresa also explore the role of coaching during a cancer diagnosis and why helping people reconnect with their own inner wisdom can be transformational. Rather than simply giving advice, Teresa’s coaching approach focuses on asking empowering questions that help people make decisions from a place of clarity and confidence. She explains how cancer can often make people feel like they’ve lost control of their identity and how coaching can help restore a sense of leadership over one’s own life and healing journey.

She also shares insights from her PhD research and her upcoming book, Navigate Cancer: Coaching for Resilience, which offers practical tools and exercises to help people move through fear, uncertainty, relationships, work, and personal growth during cancer. The conversation is a hopeful reminder that while cancer changes you, it can also become a catalyst for deeper self-awareness, resilience, and purposeful living.

She later faced a second, unrelated diagnosis—incurable blood cancer—which brought an entirely new level of emotional and physical challenges. Unlike her first experience, where she felt the need to stay strong for everyone else, this time she allowed herself to be vulnerable, especially with her children. She emphasizes the importance of feeling emotions fully, rather than suppressing them, and learning to create space between what’s happening and how we respond.

A central theme in Bron’s journey is the power of intuition. She recalls ignoring inner signals before her first diagnosis and now strongly encourages others to listen to their bodies and instincts. She also advocates for becoming an active participant in your own care—building a trusted team, asking questions, and making aligned decisions rather than passively following a plan.

Through her work, including The Serenity Project, Bron focuses on helping people reconnect with themselves so they can choose a healing path that feels right for them. She believes healing comes from within and isn’t about fighting illness, but moving through it with intention and awareness. Her approach blends science with self-awareness, encouraging people to trust themselves, stay present, and focus on the “next step” rather than trying to control the entire outcome.

Ultimately, Bron’s message is about resilience, presence, and self-trust. She believes resilience can be learned over time and reminds others to “be where your feet are”—coming back to the present moment, especially during fear or uncertainty.

For the past 20 years, Dr Miller has devoted a large part of his time and energy to working closely with patients with cancer and chronic disease, often working collaboratively with his patients and their medical teams.

He has worked with the Mederi Foundation for the past 18 years and he currently serves as Head of Faculty and Content Development for the Mederi Academy.

In this episode, Dr. Jason Miller shares his journey from conventional pre-med studies into Chinese medicine, driven by a desire to understand health beyond a purely reductionist, scientific lens. He explains how Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views the body as an interconnected system of energy, balance, and patterns, rather than isolated parts. Using principles like yin and yang, heat and cold, and excess versus deficiency, practitioners assess imbalances and work to restore harmony through tools like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle changes—often integrating modern diagnostics like imaging and genomics to create a more comprehensive approach.

The conversation explores how this integrative model can support individuals facing cancer by addressing not just the disease itself, but the body’s internal environment. Dr. Miller discusses concepts like blood stagnation, oxygenation, and the tumor microenvironment, highlighting how certain herbs and natural compounds may help improve circulation, reduce side effects, and enhance treatment outcomes when used alongside conventional therapies. He also emphasizes the importance of individualized care, weighing the “cost of cure” versus long-term disease management, and encouraging patients to take time to gather information and make aligned decisions.

Beyond physical treatments, a major focus is placed on the role of emotional, mental, and spiritual health in healing. Chronic stress, unresolved emotions, and disconnection from one’s authentic self can disrupt the body’s balance and weaken resilience. Dr. Miller encourages patients to cultivate calm, stay present in their bodies, and engage in activities that bring joy and a sense of flow. Ultimately, healing is framed as a multidimensional process—one that integrates medical care with lifestyle, mindset, and a deeper connection to self.

He has served as medical director for multiple integrative cancer clinics, authored three books—including Breaking the Cancer Code—and is a sought-after speaker and podcaster on innovative treatments like high-dose IV vitamin C, Precision Therapy Stacking, and Low-Dose Metronomic Chemotherapy. Dr. Goodyear is dedicated to empowering both patients and physicians through education, advocacy, and cutting-edge care.

This conversation explores Dr. Nathan Goodyear’s journey from a conventional OB/GYN background into integrative oncology, shaped by both professional curiosity and personal experience. Early in his career, he began questioning the “one-size-fits-all” approach of traditional medicine after recognizing that many patients were not fully helped by standard protocols. Influenced by a compounding pharmacist and a growing interest in personalized care, he gradually incorporated integrative therapies into his practice. His path deepened after facing his own life-threatening adrenal tumor, an experience that reshaped his perspective as both a physician and a patient, ultimately leading him to fully dedicate his work to integrative cancer care.

Dr. Goodyear shares an optimistic and forward-looking vision for the future of cancer treatment, emphasizing therapies that engage and train the immune system rather than suppress it. He discusses emerging innovations such as intratumoral therapies that directly target tumors while activating immune responses, as well as the growing importance of the gut microbiome in both treatment and prevention. According to Dr. Goodyear, the microbiome plays a foundational role in immune health, with factors like diet, birth method, antibiotics, and lifestyle contributing to long-term cancer risk. He believes that future breakthroughs will come not only from advanced treatments but also from early intervention strategies that address these underlying drivers before disease develops.

The episode also highlights the importance of personalized, data-driven care. Dr. Goodyear explains how advanced testing—ranging from tumor genetics to immune signaling and inflammatory markers—can guide treatment decisions and help monitor progress. This approach allows clinicians to better understand the tumor environment, restore immune communication, and adapt therapies in real time. He emphasizes that even simple lab markers, when interpreted correctly, can provide meaningful insight into a patient’s response and prognosis.

A key theme throughout the conversation is the need to bridge the gap between conventional and integrative medicine. Dr. Goodyear advocates for collaboration rather than division, noting that patients are often left navigating conflicting information on their own. By fostering open communication, focusing on evidence, and prioritizing patient-centered care, he believes the medical community can rebuild trust and improve outcomes. He also underscores the importance of offering patients hope—grounded not in false promises, but in expanding possibilities and evolving science.

Additional topics include the role of supportive therapies such as high-dose IV vitamin C and medical cannabis. Dr. Goodyear explains how vitamin C can function differently depending on dosage—supporting the immune system at lower doses and acting as a pro-oxidative, cancer-targeting therapy at higher doses. He also discusses the use of cannabinoids, particularly CBD, as a tool for managing cancer-related pain while minimizing immune suppression associated with traditional pain medications. Throughout, he stresses the importance of ongoing research, transparency, and responsible clinical application.

Ultimately, this episode centers on a paradigm shift in cancer care—one that moves from reactive treatment to proactive, individualized healing. By combining innovative therapies, microbiome science, and a commitment to collaboration, Dr. Goodyear offers a hopeful perspective on where cancer care is headed and how both patients and practitioners can play a role in shaping its future.

During our conversation, Dr. Adrian shares how her early fascination with whole-person medicine led her to naturopathic oncology, where she focuses on bridging the gap between conventional treatments and supportive therapies that help patients thrive during and after diagnosis. Her work emphasizes treating both the tumor and the overall health of the person, recognizing the role of metabolism, inflammation, and the tumor microenvironment in outcomes.

We discuss how integrative care can reduce treatment side effects and improve resilience through personalized strategies like movement, nutrition, targeted nutrients, and lifestyle interventions. Dr. Adrian explains the importance of evidence-informed support that does not interfere with conventional therapies, and how collaboration between providers is gradually improving as patient awareness grows. She also highlights practical tools—such as exercise, detox support, and red light therapy—that can aid recovery, energy production, and inflammation regulation when used appropriately.

The conversation also explores environmental toxin exposure, personalized lab assessments, and the emerging role of off-label medications and molecular pathway testing in precision oncology. Dr. Adriene’s core message is that cancer care should never be a DIY journey; patients benefit most from a knowledgeable, regulated practitioner who can tailor an integrative plan to their unique physiology, helping them move from simply surviving treatment to truly thriving beyond it.

During our conversation, Dr. Williams shares his journey from conventional oncology to an integrative approach after seeing that many patients were unwilling or unable to continue standard treatments. He now blends conventional care with nutrition, detoxification, and other biologically grounded therapies to support the body’s natural regulatory and healing systems, often seeing improved quality of life and better outcomes.

He outlines a four-part framework for cancer care: addressing tumors directly, rebuilding the body through individualized nutrition, supporting detox pathways, and working through emotional and spiritual factors that can influence healing. He emphasizes that cancer is multifactorial and that there is no universal diet or protocol—care must be tailored to each person’s metabolic type, nervous system patterns, and overall physiology.

A key theme of the conversation is the importance of emotional healing. Dr. Williams explains that unresolved trauma, chronic stress, and beliefs about self-worth can affect recovery, which is why he integrates counseling and emotional support into his care model. Ultimately, his goal is to help patients feel informed, less overwhelmed, and empowered to make confident, personalized decisions about their cancer journey.

Paul explains how hydrogen works at the root of disease by reducing oxidative stress and chronic inflammation—key drivers behind cancer, autoimmune conditions, and metabolic disorders. Unlike traditional antioxidants, hydrogen acts as a selective signal modulator, supporting mitochondrial function, immune response, gut health, and cellular repair without harmful side effects. He discusses how hydrogen has been studied in cancer care, including its ability to support apoptosis, improve energy, and protect the body from chemotherapy-related damage.

The conversation highlights the importance of gut health, environmental toxins, and restoring the body’s natural balance rather than chasing symptoms. Paul shares why not all “hydrogen” water is created equal, how true hydrogen therapy supports the body safely at any age, and why this simple tool can profoundly impact energy, digestion, recovery, and quality of life. His message is clear: when you reduce inflammation, restore balance, and support the body at a foundational level, healing becomes possible.

In May of 2014 their son Ryder was diagnosed with stage four neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer of the nervous system eleven days before his first birthday. Through an integrative approach leaving nothing on the table, and ridding their lives of all possible causes, which included building a non-toxic house in the middle of the woods, today Ryder is thriving.

Along with The Stern Method website and social media presence, Ryan hosts The Anti-Cancer Revolution podcast and online conference series, and is the creator of Going Integrative Plus, a community providing cancer patients, parents and caregivers step by step instruction along with the opportunity to receive guidance directly from the top holistic cancer doctors in the world.

In this episode, Ryan shares his family’s powerful and deeply personal cancer journey. After months of dismissed symptoms, Ryder’s imaging finally revealed a large spinal tumor with metastases. Faced with intense pressure to immediately begin chemotherapy, Ryan and his wife Teddy chose to pursue an integrative approach, advocating fiercely for Ryder while navigating fear, resistance from the medical system, and even threats of child protective services involvement.

Ryder received limited chemotherapy due to medical necessity, but was supported simultaneously with extensive integrative care, including IV vitamin C, targeted nutritional therapy, supplements, detox support, and a healing-focused home environment. Ryder responded far better than expected—secondary tumors disappeared quickly, the primary tumor shrank dramatically, and conventional treatment was stopped far earlier than standard protocol. Over time, continued improvement confirmed the remaining mass as inactive scar tissue, and Ryder is now thriving.

Ryan reflects on the importance of trusting parental intuition, addressing environmental and lifestyle factors, and combining foundational health practices with integrative oncology care. Their experience became the foundation for The Stern Method, Ryan’s podcast, and the Going Integrative Plus community, all created to empower families with education, support, and access to integrative cancer experts—offering hope and guidance to those facing similar diagnoses.

After graduating from medical school at the Autonomous University of Mexico in Toluca, Dr. Contreras specialized in surgical oncology at the University of Vienna in Austria, where he graduated with honors. He has authored fifteen books concerning integrative therapy including: The Art and Science of Undermining Cancer, 50 Critical Cancer Answers, The Hope of Living Cancer Free, The Coming Cancer Cure, Beating Cancer and Dismantling Cancer.

In addition to writing for medical journals, Dr. Contreras has participated in medical conferences such as the World Conference on Breast Cancer and is active in the Cancer Control Society.

In this episode, Dr. Francisco Contreras shares the philosophy behind Oasis of Hope Hospital and its integrative approach to cancer care — one rooted in compassion, personalization, and quality of life. Rather than relying solely on aggressive treatments, his work is guided by the principle of “first, do no harm,” offering therapies he would choose for himself or a loved one.

Dr. Contreras explains that while cancer begins with genetic mutations, it behaves largely as a metabolic disease. All cancers share common traits — heavy sugar dependence, acidity, and low oxygen — which Oasis of Hope addresses through metabolic therapies, immune support, and highly personalized cell-based treatments using a patient’s own immune cells.

His message is both grounded and hopeful: cancer is not a death sentence. Healing is measured not just by shrinking tumors, but by how patients feel, live, and reclaim their lives when the body, mind, and spirit are supported together.

She received her undergraduate degree from Brown University. Dr. Alschuler completed her naturopathic medical training at Bastyr University where she also completed her residency in general naturopathic medicine.

She is board certified in naturopathic oncology and completed an executive Masters of Business in 2023. She is co-author of Definitive Guide to Cancer, now in its 3^rd edition, and Definitive Guide to Thriving After Cancer. 

During our conversation, Dr. Alschuler shares her long journey into naturopathic oncology, which began even before cancer affected her own family. Early on, she was drawn to working with people facing cancer because of the depth, honesty, and perspective they often carried. After years in general naturopathic practice, she trained in a hospital-based integrative oncology program, where patients received both conventional and naturopathic support. During that time, her father was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. Through an intensive integrative approach, he lived far longer—and with far better quality of life—than expected. Several years later, she herself was diagnosed with breast cancer, and going through treatment using integrative care profoundly deepened her empathy, reshaped her practice, and strengthened her belief in the value of combining conventional and natural therapies.

She explains that the foundations of integrative cancer care are simple but powerful: quality nutrition, consistent physical activity, restorative sleep, targeted supplementation, and attention to environmental exposures. Medicinal mushrooms, for example, have strong evidence as treatment adjuvants with minimal risk. She also emphasizes that supplements must be used thoughtfully and safely—ideally under the guidance of a trained naturopathic oncologist—because natural products can still interact with cancer drugs. A key part of healing, she notes, also involves emotional integrity, authenticity, and the willingness to reexamine one’s life.

Her “Five to Thrive” framework organizes these core lifestyle pillars into an empowering, practical roadmap for recovery and long-term wellness. Her book, The Definitive Guide to Thriving After Cancer, is meant to give survivors hope, reduce fear of recurrence, and offer evidence-based strategies without overwhelming readers. Ultimately, she believes healing is not just physical—many people experience profound growth, clarity, and inner alignment through the cancer journey, regardless of the outcome.

Her work brings together science, compassion, and personalized care. Janet uses data-driven functional testing, targeted nutrition, and metabolic therapies to help people restore balance, strengthen immunity, and support the body's innate ability to heal.

Her approach combines scientific precision with compassionate care, empowering patients to restore balance, strengthen immunity, and optimize outcomes at every stage of cancer care.

In this episode of The Cancer Liberation Project, Dr. Janet shares her unexpected journey into integrative oncology. Initially hesitant to work with cancer patients, she eventually recognized the deep need for a more compassionate, whole-person approach. Dr. Janet explains how cancer is often misunderstood as purely a genetic mishap, when in reality it's profoundly influenced by metabolism, environment, and lifestyle. She emphasizes that patients don’t have to choose between conventional and integrative care—true healing happens when disciplines collaborate and the patient is seen as a whole human, not just a tumor.

Dr. Janet details how her approach differs from a traditional oncologist: instead of focusing solely on shrinking tumors, she digs into the “terrain”—the stressors, exposures, life patterns, and imbalances that allowed cancer to develop. Using the “test, assess, address” methodology, she relies on comprehensive labs, trends over time, and continuous adjustments rather than rigid protocols. Foundational elements such as nutrition, sleep, stress reduction, movement, and emotional healing are at the core of her work. She stresses that advanced therapies like IV vitamin C, mistletoe, and fasting around chemotherapy are valuable, but they only work when the “container”—the person’s overall terrain—is strong. Emotional and spiritual health, she adds, can be the missing link even when lab results look good.

She also shares insight into her work with Immunocene, a leading-edge dendritic cell immunotherapy program in Mexico, where personalized treatments are created from a patient’s own immune cells and tumor tissue. Dr. Janet supports the program through metabolic oncology guidance, data interpretation, and terrain-based strategies. Her final message to patients is one of empowerment: don’t lose hope, build a supportive team, and focus on what you can control. Healing is not linear, but with curiosity, collaboration, and foundational care, patients can regain clarity, confidence, and agency in their cancer journey.

In this episode, Leslie shares about exercise oncology—the growing field that uses movement to improve cancer outcomes and overall well-being. After losing several loved ones to cancer, Leslie was inspired to help survivors rebuild strength, confidence, and hope through personalized fitness programs.

She shares key findings from the groundbreaking CHALLENGE Study, which followed colon cancer patients for 15 years and proved that supervised exercise not only reduces side effects but also improves survival rates—showing a 37% reduction in death and 28% reduction in recurrence. These powerful results demonstrate that exercise can be just as impactful as medical treatments in supporting long-term recovery.

Leslie emphasizes that exercise doesn’t have to be complicated—even a brisk walk for a few minutes a day can reduce fatigue, boost mood, improve sleep, and lessen anxiety, pain, and muscle loss. For those who feel too tired or overwhelmed to begin, she encourages starting small, setting realistic goals, and choosing activities that bring joy and consistency.

What Leslie loves most about her work is witnessing the resilience of cancer survivors—their determination to heal and give back, even in their hardest moments. Her heartfelt message: Be gentle with yourself, move your body in ways that feel good, and remember that your “new normal” can be even stronger, healthier, and more hopeful than before.

Beyond her professional achievements, Diana is a devoted wife, mother, and committed volunteer. She thrives on sharing insights about leadership, resilience, and navigating challenges with authenticity.

In this deeply moving episode, Diana shares her remarkable 12-year cancer journey — one that began unexpectedly with what seemed like a minor eye irritation and evolved into a powerful story of faith, resilience, and purpose. Diagnosed with a rare form of cancer affecting her eye and sinuses, Deanna’s path included multiple surgeries, radiation, immunotherapy, and ultimately the loss of her eye. Yet through it all, she chose gratitude over grief, focusing on what she could control and finding meaning in every challenge.

A single mom at the time of her diagnosis, Deanna learned to accept help from others — a lesson that transformed her both personally and professionally. Her authenticity and strength as a leader grew as she realized that true resilience isn’t about never falling, but about getting back up again and choosing to see the good. She shares how her grandmother’s optimism, her faith, and her background in basketball shaped her mental toughness, teaching her to respond to life’s setbacks with grace and courage.

Deanna also talks about her book, Ultimately Imperfect, Uniquely Qualified, which weaves her cancer story with reflections, lessons, and applications for anyone facing adversity. Through her transparency and compassion, she invites readers to find purpose in their pain and to support others through theirs.

In this conversation, Deanna reminds us that even in the hardest seasons, we still have the freedom to choose how we respond — to be a victim or a victor. Her advice for anyone facing a cancer journey is powerful: focus on the parts of your wellness you can control — your physical, mental, relational, and spiritual health. Because, as she says, cancer doesn’t define us — it can refine us.

Besides being a best-selling author, and highly sought-after speaker, Dean is also a two-time cancer survivor, widower and two-time world record-setting extreme distance swimmer. He is the first person to swim the entire 187-mile length of Oregon’s longest river, the Willamette River, (which he did as an active cancer patient) in 2014, and Ireland’s longest river, the River Shannon (180 miles), in 2017.

This much time spent immersed in the flow of mighty rivers has changed Dean’s life in many dynamic and miraculous ways. His Willamette River swim threw Dean into radical remission unexpectedly healing his leukemia without chemo or radiation while easing his trauma and grief from losing his wife fifteen days before their thirtieth anniversary. Buoyed by his firsthand experience of the healing power of nature when his lymphoma worsened and doctors once again pushed him to do chemo and radiation Dean chose to try Forest Bathing first. Dr. Qing Li’s research on the proven efficacy of time spent in forests and how it boosted NK (Natural Killer) cells and the immune system by over two-hundred and fifty times for a period of two weeks gave Dean the courage to decide instead for a weekly regimen of forest bathing instead. In May of 2015, he started spending all day once a week forest bathing deep in the Mt. Hood Wilderness and by March of 2016 he was declared cancer free.

These gifts of natural healing pushed Dean to make it his organization, The Wild Cure Way, whose mission is to encourage the world to get out of concrete jungles, manmade boxes and away from digital devices and dive into wild waterways and venture into deep forests as a form of authentic deep healing and, oddly enough, environmental protection. He believes it’s impossible to swim in wild waters or amble through ancient forests without falling in love with them and like Jacque Cousteau used to say, “You protect what you love.”.

He is a pioneer in the practice of critical care medicine and is responsible for developing several treatment protocols that have been used around the world to save the lives of countless people, most notably his revolutionary work in developing the standard of care for the treatment for sepsis, and for his outstanding contributions to the successful protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic.

When the COVID-19 pandemic began, medical professionals were looking for answers, trying to find ways to treat the growing number of patients that were suffering and dying with virtually no treatment options available. As a lifelong advocate for the advancement of science and independent thought and guided by his strong belief in collaborating with peers, Dr. Marik began exchanging information with his colleagues around the world on several approaches that were showing promise using known medications that were readily available to safely treat COVID patients with success. It was from those exchanges and collective learning that the FLCCC was born.

In a short time, the FLCCC grew to become an organization led by some of the world’s leading physicians, scientists, and scholars. While many in medicine were still waiting for guidance from the government and medical authorities, the FLCCC was providing lifesaving treatment protocols for the world to use in fighting an enemy that seemed invincible. Because of the work of Dr. Marik and the FLCCC we know that COVID-19 is a highly preventable and treatable illness.

Dr. Marik began his career in medicine in 1989 when he was an attending physician and assistant professor and Associate Director, ICU in the Department of Intensive Care at Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa. In 1992 Dr. Marik began his career in the United States as an assistant professor at Wayne State University Department of Internal Medicine and as the Associate Director of the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Detroit Receiving Hospital. After several appointments at medical schools in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, Dr. Marik settled at East Virginia Medical School (EVMS) in 2009.

Throughout his career Dr. Marik has been dedicated to medical research, publishing over 460 papers in peer-reviewed journals worldwide. In 2004 Dr. Marik was ranked 18th Leading Critical Care Investigator, as measured by number of publications between 1997 and August 2003. Today Dr. Marik remains the second most published critical care physician in the world.

Earlier this year Dr. Marik left his position at EVMS to dedicate more time to the FLCCC and fighting for the independence of all medical professionals to have the freedom to do their jobs

without unwarranted interference from authorities and fear and intimidation driven by commercial interests.

His latest work is an extensive review of the evidence on the use of repurposed medications in treating cancer. Using the findings of over 800 peer-reviewed studies, Dr. Marik and his team developed a monograph that is intended to educate physicians and their patients about the often-overlooked role repurposed medications, supplements and lifestyle habits have in cancer treatment protocols. 

During our conversation Dr. Marik shares how his cancer care monograph empowers patients to take control of their treatment plan, his recommendations for preventing and treating cancer, the important role Vitamin D plays in immune strength, an important myth about the cause of melanoma, and which cancers are more responsive to chemotherapy and which ones are not.

No sympathy or cause for concern. Just the facts.

Pre-cancer, Jennifer lived a life that many of us do. Career first, long hours, not enough time with family and friends, very little sleep, some exercise. She was the personification of the American dream. Successful by most of the things we use to measure our lives.

If this fact pattern sounds familiar, this is a conversation many of you will resonate with. Jennifer soon was told that her cancer was grade 4 glioblastoma. Statistically, not likely that she would survive.

But this is a story of healing on one's own terms. Very soon after getting the horrific news, Jennifer started taking control of her life and her health, which she shares in her book, The Case for Hope.

During our conversation Jennifer shares the symptoms her doctor dismissed as stress related, how she found hope through difficult odds, how the practice of Qigong changed her perspective, her thoughts about not giving up, her realization that her career as a top lawyer meant nothing, and the powerful message she wants everyone to know.

Her parents had a vision/desire for her: to become a dentist.

As an obedient daughter, she did her best to fulfill their desire. At the age of 23, she found herself completing her dental study and obtaining a doctor’s title in dentistry.

In 1986, Dr. Madlena moved to Germany. She went through all the challenges of learning the difficult German language and recognition exams, so that in November 1991 she was blessed to open her dental practice in Bavaria, Germany.

Even though she always had a heart of a servant, she was following earthly goals like monetary success, social status, and reputation. By doing so, she disconnected from her true soul journey. As a result, (and these are her words), she had to face uterine cancer in 1998.

Cancer became her greatest teacher and changed the trajectory of her career and life.

In 2011, she sold her dental practice and followed her heart.

Now she commits her whole time, energy, experience, and knowledge to serving the wellbeing of employees at the working place.

In September 2021 she gladly accepted the position of Wellbeing Officer at my-E-health, the largest digital health platform in Europe and the third largest in the world.

My-E-Health is the bridge between the employers and their employees, putting human capital in the middle of the attention. In this way, we impact the improvement of self and whole by improving the company’s culture.

During our conversation, Madlena shares how she was fulfilling her parents desire for her life and not her own, how she felt disconnected from her authentic self in her drive for earthly success, the clear message she received while waiting for her second surgery, the greatest lesson cancer taught her, and what she does daily to remain healthy.

David started to form the idea of his latest book, Cycle of Lives, after his sister died from brain cancer.  

After many years of dedication to raising awareness and funds for cancer research and care, he noticed that people were open to sharing the tasks related to the cancer experience, but very few discussions dealt with the emotions of cancer, whether that be of the patient, a loved one, survivor or caregiver. David then embarked on a journey to find 15 compelling human stories to explore the traumas and events in their lives that shaped the way they dealt with the emotions of cancer. After interviewing the participants for more than 2 years, David wrote the book to share their stories with the hope of helping start conversations about the emotional aspects of trauma and the cancer experience.

We talk about his conversations with his sister during her difficult journey, what all the participants had in common, the stories that stuck out to him the most, what compelled him to bike 5,000 miles from California to Florida to New York, and the lessons he learned along the way. Most importantly, he shows us through these stories of hope, triumph and resilience, how to be there for people in our own lives.
