The day John Bygraves was told he had just three months to live, everything came crashing down.
His world, once filled with music, momentum and a fast-paced DJ lifestyle, suddenly stood still. What began as a small health concern turned into a rare and aggressive cancer diagnosis, and within moments, life as he knew it was gone.
Faced with a life-altering decision, John chose to explore a different path that challenged convention and called him to completely re-evaluate the way he lived, thought and healed.
This episode is a powerful exploration of what happens when you’re forced to confront everything you’ve avoided. From emotional trauma to daily rituals, John shares how he rebuilt his life piece by piece, with honesty, reflection and a willingness to look deeper. It’s raw, thought-provoking and a reminder that healing, whatever form it takes, often begins from within.

Key moments include: ✔ The diagnosis that changed everything ✔ Why he initially declined conventional treatment ✔ The role sound healing, fasting and meditation played in his recovery ✔ How trauma, stress and early life experiences contributed to dis-ease ✔ Why he believes cancer became his greatest teacher
John’s journey isn’t a prescription. It’s a deeply personal account of transformation, fuelled by curiosity, resilience and hope. Whether you’re navigating your own challenges or seeking a fresh perspective, this is a story that encourages reflection on what it truly means to live with intention.
