Martha Tettenborn, RD shares her inspiring story of surviving and thriving through cancer and chemo treatments! It is no secret that cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow without a steady supply of glucose. But when you're diagnosed, nutrition recommendations often result in increased blood sugars, the essential food that cancer cells need to thrive. In her book Hacking Chemo, Registered Dietitian and cancer survivor @marthatettenborn offers a new way of treating cancer with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. As Martha says, change how you fuel your body, add in a "take control" attitude, and you'll have nontoxic but tough tools to power your way back to health. Don't feed cancer, hack it! I learned a ton in this empowering interview, and I know you will too!

Dr. Rebecca is one of the leading experts around thyroid health. At age 16 she suffered a massive gallbladder attack, and her gallbladder was removed. At 19, Rebecca suffered thyroid cancer, and her thyroid was removed. Shortly after that, she made it her mission to take her health into her own hands. She became a chiropractor, and now educates others about this small, but mighty organ. Dr. Rebecca and I discuss the following: What does the thyroid do and how can you tell if it is working efficiently? Can you practice intermittent fasting with thyroid issues? How are the thyroid and adrenal glands connected? What do you recommend for nutrition? What do you recommend for thyroid testing, and how can we obtain those tests?

Miranda Hugghins had reached 321 pounds by the time she graduated high school. Although many of her family members also struggled with obesity and chronic health issues, she knew something needed to change, and it was up to her to change it. Miranda did a lot of research and implemented the keto lifestyle in 2019, and intermittent fasting shortly after that. Before Miranda started the keto and IF lifestyle, she suffered from PCOS, pre-diabetes, and obesity. Within 1 week of starting the keto lifestyle, she had her menstrual cycle, and has since reversed her PCOS and pre-diabetes. Take that chronic illness! Miranda has lost and maintained a 90 pound weight loss for 2.5 years. She dutifully keeps her carbs low, eats real foods, intermittent fasts almost every day, and adds extended fasts when right for her. You don't need to suffer from illnesses that run in your family, and you certainly have the choice to live well. Don't miss Miranda's inspirational story!

Cheri Bantilan is a registered dietitian for Nutrisense, and an expert in using continuous glucose monitoring as a tool to see trends in blood glucose, including food response, stress, sleep, and exercise. This device can be life-changing! In this episode we discuss: What is a CGM and what it is used for? How can a CGM measure metabolic health? Does it tell us more than the scale? What are the ranges to look for and how can you tell if you react favorably or unfavorably to a certain food? Can we draw connections between CGM readings, insulin, and weight stalls? How should we experiment with a CGM? Can those without diabetes wear a CGM? How does exercise relate to the readings we see? How can hormonal changes relating to sleep and stress affect glucose values on the CGM? How can we obtain a CGM from Nutrisense?

Do you believe you can be healthy at every size? In this episode of Fast To Heal Stories, I explore the concept of health at every size (HAES). The HAES movement is based on the following principles: Accept your size. Trust yourself. Adopt healthy lifestyle habits. Find joy in moving your body. Eat when hungry and stop when full. I give my thoughts on each of these principles, and whether or not I believe the HAES movement can be more detrimental than beneficial.
