The Modern Ancestral Mamas Podcast Pediatric Cancer, Nutrition, and Hope: Helping Kids Thrive Through Treatment with Season Johnson | Ep. 105
What if pediatric cancer support did not have to mean choosing between the hospital and the holistic tools that can help your child stay strong?
In this episode, Corey and Christine sit down with Season Johnson (https://www.seasonjohnson.com/), functional practitioner, founder of the nonprofit Kick Cancer (https://kickcancermovement.org/), and owner of Biodynamic Wellness (https://biodynamicwellness.com/) in San Diego, to talk about one of the most terrifying realities a parent can face: a childhood cancer diagnosis. Season shares her family’s story of walking her son through acute lymphoblastic leukemia, what she learned inside the conventional system, and the practical ways parents can support nutrition, detox pathways, and quality of life alongside treatment.
