Episode 237- What If Cancer Is a Metabolic Disease? My Mom's Story & the Power of Light

We've been told cancer is genetic… or just bad luck. But what if that's not the whole story?

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, I share the journey of my mom—a nurse, a night-shift worker, and a fighter who passed away just 7 months after her pancreatic and liver cancer diagnosis. For well over a decade, she was told to "watch" elevated liver enzymes while living in a circadian storm of artificial light, disrupted sleep, and minimal sun exposure.

Her story—combined with the latest research—is a powerful case study for rethinking cancer as a metabolic disease rooted in mitochondrial dysfunction, circadian disruption, and environmental chaos.

Inside this episode:

• Why blue light and lack of infrared may be more dangerous than we think

• How 90% of melatonin is made inside your cells—and why that matters

• The truth about seed oils, vitamin D, and sun exposure

• The lifestyle "storm" that quietly builds cancer risk

• What you can do NOW to reset your light, rhythm, and repair systems
