S01 E05 | How To Eat To Stay Cancer Free After Cancer

You’ve probably googled it: “What’s the best diet to prevent cancer coming back?”

And if you’re like most people, you were hit with a wave of conflicting advice:

Plant-based? Keto? Alkaline? Mediterranean?

 

In this episode, I’m breaking down why there’s no one-size-fits-all diet when it comes to staying cancer-free—and how to build a nutrition plan that actually supports your healing.

 

⚠️ This is a must-watch if:

• You’re feeling overwhelmed by food rules and unsure what really helps post-treatment.

• You want to eat in a way that makes your body stronger—not just avoid “bad” foods.

• You’re ready for science-backed clarity, not fear-driven food lists.

 

🌿 In this episode, I’ll guide you through the 4 keys of post-cancer nutrition:

1. Antioxidants & Phytonutrients – What they are, where to find them, and how they help stop cancer cells from growing, spreading, or even surviving.

 

2. Blood Sugar Balance – How glucose, insulin, and IGF-1 play major roles in cancer risk (and how to eat in a way that supports hormone and energy balance).

 

3. Macronutrient Demands – Why your body needs a new approach to protein, carbs, and fat after cancer treatment, especially if you’re healing from surgery, chemo, or radiation.

 

4. Food Quality – What “clean” eating really means after cancer (and how to focus on what actually matters when choosing organic, grass-fed, or processed foods).

 

🥦 Bonus: We’ll also touch on cancer-specific foods, why one study shouldn’t define your diet, and why you are more important than your diagnosis when it comes to nutrition.

 

📚 This isn’t about chasing the latest food trend. It’s about fueling your body in a way that creates an internal environment where cancer doesn’t want to grow.

 

💡 You’ll leave this episode with:

• A clear understanding of the nutritional strategies that reduce inflammation, support your immune system, and restore energy

• A better framework for making food choices without fear

• Simple, science-backed principles that honor your unique body
