Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things after cancer—taking supplements, eating well, moving your body—but still wonder… Is this even working?

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, I’m diving into the two most overlooked (but absolutely essential) pieces of any recurrence prevention plan: Reassessment and Troubleshooting. These are the tools that turn guesswork into clarity, wasted effort into progress, and fear into confidence.

⚠️ This is a must-listen if: • You’ve been on the same supplements for months (or years!) without knowing if they’re still helping • You’ve tried lifestyle changes but aren’t sure if they’ve made a real difference • You feel frustrated when something that “worked for a friend” doesn’t seem to work for you • You want to understand what actually moves the needle in lowering your recurrence risk

🧭 In this episode, we’ll cover:

Why Reassessment Matters – Your body changes over time. Even if something worked last year, it might not be what you need now. We’ll talk about how to check in on whether your plan is still right for you.

How to Reassess Effectively – From defining your goals to tracking objective (labs) and subjective (symptoms, energy, sleep) markers, I’ll walk you through the process step by step.

Troubleshooting Without Fear – When reassessment shows things aren’t working, it doesn’t mean failure. It means feedback. Learn how to adjust your approach so you’re always moving forward.

Examples in Action – From raising vitamin D levels, to navigating menopause symptoms, to lowering cholesterol, you’ll hear exactly how reassessment + troubleshooting work in real life.

💡 You’ll walk away with: • A clear process for knowing if your plan is actually working • Tools to save time, money, and frustration on things that aren’t serving you • A mindset shift that turns “setbacks” into data points guiding you forward • Confidence that you’re creating an internal environment where cancer doesn’t want to grow

📚 Remember: Troubleshooting is not failure—it’s the actual road to prevention. The more you check in, reassess, and adapt, the more powerful and personalized your plan becomes.

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Your goal is to raise your vitamin D level.

(00:03):
And let's say that you learned that your friend Barry, she had low vitamin D level before too.
And what she did to get that level up is she started eating more fish.
She started eating more eggs and she took a tablet of vitamin D.
So you choose to do what Mary did, and you're like, okay, in three months I'm going to retest and see where my blood level is at.

(00:25):
So you reassess, you do the blood level again.
Even though it worked for Mary, whenever you retest it, you saw that your level was still 36.
It didn't budge a number.
It didn't budge an inch, basically.
So now what do you have to do? You've done your reassessment.
Now you need to troubleshoot the. 12 00:01:10,266.645678344 --> 00:01:11,316.645678344 Welcome everyone. 13 00:01:11,316.645678344 --> 00:01:25,211.645678344 So today I'm going to talk about the most common missing parts of these cancer recurrence prevention plans or cancer blocking plans that we see whether people are putting stuff together on their own. 14 00:01:26,331.645678344 --> 00:01:32,361.645678344 Or if potentially they're working with other practitioners on how to optimize their health and reduce the risk of cancer. 15 00:01:32,361.645678344 --> 00:01:43,581.64567834 Coming back today, I wanna highlight the areas that are just kind of gaping holes that can be easily fixed if we just apply two things specifically. 16 00:01:43,581.64567834 --> 00:01:46,641.64567834 These two things are reassessment. 17 00:01:46,911.64567834 --> 00:01:48,21.64567834 And troubleshooting. 18 00:01:48,381.64567834 --> 00:01:49,731.64567834 So that's what I'm gonna talk about today. 19 00:01:49,731.64567834 --> 00:01:56,151.64567834 I'm gonna go through how reassessment and troubleshooting helps to create a plan that's more effective against cancer. 20 00:01:56,541.64567834 --> 00:02:05,191.64567834 I'm gonna talk about how to reassess more effectively, how to troubleshoot more effectively, and some examples of reassessment and troubleshooting so you can get to see. 21 00:02:06,11.64567834 --> 00:02:16,181.64567834 What exactly do I mean, how do we put this into your life? How does this apply to you and your plans? You'll get to see it more effectively as well, whenever I put it together in the examples that I'll pro provide. 22 00:02:16,631.64567834 --> 00:02:25,666.64567834 So overall, what I'm hoping to achieve here is that I answer some of these questions that are very much prominent in the cancer recurrence prevention world. 23 00:02:25,991.64567834 --> 00:02:27,791.64567834 Some of the confusion that is going on. 24 00:02:28,356.64567834 --> 00:02:54,716.64567834 Such as like, is what I'm doing actually working? I'm sure you've asked yourself that question before potentially you're taking something and you're like, is this the correct dose? Is it truly working for my body? And um, do I need to increase my dose or reduce my dose? Kind of like, what do I even focus on? Like what in my body even needs support? What do I even need to do? And then also, like we have so many people who come to us and they're like, so I'm taking these. 25 00:02:54,991.64567834 --> 00:03:03,391.64567834 Dozen supplements and we're like, when did you start taking these? They're like, well, I started taking it at the beginning of chemotherapy or the beginning of my treatment plan. 26 00:03:03,971.64567834 --> 00:03:07,181.64567834 And they're still taking it potentially even a year or two post treatment. 27 00:03:07,511.64567834 --> 00:03:12,251.64567834 And what is applying to them during treatment is not necessarily gonna apply to them after treatment. 28 00:03:12,251.64567834 --> 00:03:21,581.64567834 So if you have that, uh, happening as well, if there's something you're like, well, I've been taking this forever, is it still actually doing anything? I'm hoping to kind of give you some clarity around that today as well. 29 00:03:21,731.64567834 --> 00:03:23,531.64567834 So I know it's not something fancy. 30 00:03:23,866.64567834 --> 00:03:38,476.64567834 Uh, where we're talking about a specific intervention necessarily that's going to help to block cancer, reduce recurrence risk, but this, honest to goodness, is one of the most important parts when it comes to analyzing what is best for you. 31 00:03:38,626.64567834 --> 00:03:48,916.64567834 And even though it's not fancy or sexy, so to speak, this is gonna be ridiculously important to helping you to reduce your recurrence risk and to create this plan that's gonna be super successful for you. 32 00:03:49,856.64567834 --> 00:03:51,506.64567834 All right, so let's jump into it. 33 00:03:51,686.64567834 --> 00:03:54,836.64567834 The first thing I wanna say is that reassessment. 34 00:03:55,331.64567834 --> 00:04:04,1.64567834 Is to ensure that the plan is working for you and troubleshooting is how to ensure the plan will work for you. 35 00:04:04,1.64567834 --> 00:04:07,541.64567834 So again, reassessment is to ensure that the plan is working for you. 36 00:04:07,721.64567834 --> 00:04:11,711.64567834 Troubleshooting is how to ensure that the plan will work for you. 37 00:04:11,801.64567834 --> 00:04:13,61.64567834 And we're gonna go through both today. 38 00:04:13,601.64567834 --> 00:04:20,711.64567834 You basically need to reassess because even if you had the same diagnosis or the same treatment plan as someone else. 39 00:04:21,156.64567834 --> 00:04:24,576.64567834 Your recovery plan is not going to be the same. 40 00:04:24,576.64567834 --> 00:04:29,586.64567834 Your prevention plan is not going to be the same in active cancer. 41 00:04:29,766.64567834 --> 00:04:34,266.64567834 The goal truly is to kill cancer cells and. 42 00:04:34,976.64567834 --> 00:04:49,976.64567834 You really can do a lot of different things to kill cancer cells, but not as many things as you can do to prevent cancer from starting or growing because in preventing cancer from starting or growing or coming back, then we really need to change the environment in the body. 43 00:04:50,546.64567834 --> 00:04:59,36.64567834 And the idea is that we wanna change the environment so that cells don't get these signals, these hits to them, that are gonna cause them to develop into cancer. 44 00:04:59,336.64567834 --> 00:05:01,346.64567834 They don't get the fuel that they need to grow. 45 00:05:01,611.64567834 --> 00:05:10,201.64567834 They don't get the they don't lose the ability to repair themselves to make them back to normal cells that they, um, don't, that they get the ability. 46 00:05:10,201.64567834 --> 00:05:16,291.64567834 Basically, we want them to be able to reverse themselves back into normal cells and not continue on to con, to be more cancer cells. 47 00:05:16,771.64567834 --> 00:05:19,801.64567834 Um, this is due to the environment. 48 00:05:19,891.64567834 --> 00:05:20,551.64567834 So again. 49 00:05:20,991.64567834 --> 00:05:25,851.64567834 When we're going through active cancer treatment, we wanna kill the cancer cells 'cause they're there. 50 00:05:26,31.64567834 --> 00:05:32,331.64567834 But post-treatment, when we're looking at keeping cancer from coming back, it is less about killing cancer cells for many reasons. 51 00:05:32,331.64567834 --> 00:05:36,261.64567834 One of them being that you've probably killed the majority of the cancer cells if you've gone through treatment. 52 00:05:36,501.64567834 --> 00:05:38,871.64567834 Yes, we can get into cancer stem cells, but maybe not today. 53 00:05:38,871.64567834 --> 00:05:42,81.64567834 It'll be definitely a topic for another podcast episode. 54 00:05:42,381.64567834 --> 00:05:46,194.97901168 But whenever we're looking at post-treatment, the, the cells are gone, let's say. 55 00:05:46,509.97901168 --> 00:05:47,589.97901168 There's nothing left to kill. 56 00:05:47,589.97901168 --> 00:06:00,219.97901168 So we need to focus more on the environment and ensuring that we're not creating more cancer cells, that there are any, if there are any pre-cancer cells there, that they're able to heal themselves, and that if there potentially are some cancer cells hanging out, we're not giving them the fuel to grow. 57 00:06:00,399.97901168 --> 00:06:02,409.97901168 So it's a different mindset switch here. 58 00:06:02,994.97901168 --> 00:06:20,364.97901168 And your environment in your body is different than someone else's, right? So your ability to process things in the, whether it's through your liver, your kidneys, the foods you're taking in to extract vitamins and nutrients to absorb them, that's all different. 59 00:06:20,694.97901168 --> 00:06:24,354.97901168 And it has to do with basically your blueprint of your body. 60 00:06:24,684.97901168 --> 00:06:31,524.97901168 And you, you're gonna hear me talk about epigenetics now and then, and your blueprint is your epigenetics, your genetics, things like that. 61 00:06:31,879.97901168 --> 00:06:37,279.97901168 So whenever your, let's say, um, your name is Mary and my name is Megan. 62 00:06:37,549.97901168 --> 00:06:47,269.97901168 So Mary, you, you'll have different ways to, um, extract the nutrients from your food and absorb it like your gut microbiome is different. 63 00:06:47,479.97901168 --> 00:06:53,989.97901168 Your genetic abilities to create things, to break things down is gonna be different than mine. 64 00:06:54,199.97901168 --> 00:06:57,589.97901168 So the environment in your body is going to be different. 65 00:06:58,254.97901168 --> 00:06:58,494.97901168 All right. 66 00:06:58,494.97901168 --> 00:07:00,894.97901168 I hope this is making sense so far and is ringing a bell. 67 00:07:01,404.97901168 --> 00:07:16,674.97901168 There are many different things that we wanna apply when it comes to creating this environment in your body, but these are things that I'm gonna cover in pretty much any episode I ever do and the things that it is gonna be that's relating to this episode today. 68 00:07:16,999.97901168 --> 00:07:30,709.97901168 Is that whenever it comes down to it, we, we need to apply something and then reassess because when we reassess, we can figure out is it working and then let's say it's not working, then we can troubleshoot and we can figure out different ways to troubleshoot to make the plan work for you. 69 00:07:30,799.97901168 --> 00:07:34,264.97901168 Alright, so this is why today is very important, is because your environment is different. 70 00:07:35,94.97901168 --> 00:07:38,724.97901168 Uh, recurrence prevention plan is much different than just killing cancer cells. 71 00:07:38,754.97901168 --> 00:07:46,374.97901168 And in order to ensure that your environment and the the things that we're imply applying to change your environment are working, we need to reassess. 72 00:07:46,374.97901168 --> 00:07:50,754.97901168 And then if we find out after a reassessment that it's not working, we need to troubleshoot. 73 00:07:50,759.97901168 --> 00:07:50,849.97901168 Alright. 74 00:07:51,934.97901168 --> 00:07:56,194.97901168 So the first part of reassessment is actually assessing. 75 00:07:56,434.97901168 --> 00:08:01,594.97901168 So the first thing we need to do is to determine a plan and figure out if it's going to work for you. 76 00:08:01,954.97901168 --> 00:08:03,994.97901168 Um, we really need to get to know you. 77 00:08:04,234.97901168 --> 00:08:05,584.97901168 We want to know your blueprint. 78 00:08:05,584.97901168 --> 00:08:06,604.97901168 We wanna know the environment. 79 00:08:06,604.97901168 --> 00:08:09,304.97901168 We wanna know the factors about your health and history. 80 00:08:09,514.97901168 --> 00:08:12,394.97901168 And I'm not gonna talk that about that specifically today. 81 00:08:12,484.97901168 --> 00:08:14,554.97901168 I've already spoken about it quite a bit actually. 82 00:08:14,554.97901168 --> 00:08:20,494.97901168 Whenever you go back through my episodes on blood work and testing, this is how we get to know you a little bit better. 83 00:08:20,749.97901168 --> 00:08:24,259.97901168 And um, how we just gather some data and details. 84 00:08:24,439.97901168 --> 00:08:48,264.97901168 We align that as well With your past medical history with the type of diagnosis that you received, and is there anything in particular that might cause that type of cancer? Any sort of hormonal patterns, stress patterns, environmental contaminants, things like that, we can gather all of that and kind of start the initial assessment and figure out where do you wanna start? What do and what interventions do we wanna choose to begin with, basically. 85 00:08:48,744.97901168 --> 00:08:55,434.97901168 So once you put the plan into action, though, we don't want to just assume that it is working for you. 86 00:08:55,584.97901168 --> 00:09:02,964.97901168 We really want to check if it actually is doing its job and that it matches your needs, that it matches. 87 00:09:03,234.97901168 --> 00:09:09,204.97901168 Your blueprint that it is actually working for your body, and this is the reassessment phase. 88 00:09:09,444.97901168 --> 00:09:15,894.97901168 So first, we've reassessed, we've done your blood work, we've done your epigenetics, we gathered your health history and your diagnosis information. 89 00:09:16,74.97901168 --> 00:09:20,844.97901168 We put a plan into place, then we wanna see did it work, and we're gonna reassess. 90 00:09:20,874.97901168 --> 00:09:25,974.97901168 Okay? Reassess reassessment is super important and it is missed so often. 91 00:09:25,974.97901168 --> 00:09:40,79.97901168 Like we have women all the time who go to see, they say they went to see a practitioner, a functional health practitioner, naturopathic doctor, whatever it might have been, and they were given five supplements and sent home, and then a couple months goes by and they're like, Hmm. 92 00:09:40,899.97901168 --> 00:09:42,549.97901168 I wasn't told to rebook an appointment. 93 00:09:42,729.97901168 --> 00:09:44,529.97901168 I don't know if these are actually working. 94 00:09:44,729.97901168 --> 00:09:52,799.97901168 Actually I'm my post-treatment now should I change things up? So it's really important that you check in with your practitioner again to get that reassessment into place. 95 00:09:52,799.97901168 --> 00:10:06,909.97901168 So even if they don't mention it, you can take the autonomy, um, take the action yourself and go and rebook with them too, just to get another feedback on like, here's where I am right now, should I continue on with this or not? Because your body's going to change over time. 96 00:10:07,594.97901168 --> 00:10:11,134.97901168 Even if something worked last year for whatever you were trying to tackle. 97 00:10:11,874.97901168 --> 00:10:20,814.97901168 It might not work now because maybe something has changed and something else is now contributing to the discomfort or symptom or whatever it is that you're trying to to work on. 98 00:10:21,204.97901168 --> 00:10:24,474.97901168 Hormones shift, your stress levels will go up and down. 99 00:10:24,724.97901168 --> 00:10:26,164.97901168 Bodies adapt as well. 100 00:10:26,164.97901168 --> 00:10:28,924.97901168 Your body's very adaptable, and then it'll kind of. 101 00:10:28,944.97901168 --> 00:10:34,104.97901168 Start to ignore certain things that you might've put into place and come up with other things that it wants you to work on. 102 00:10:34,434.97901168 --> 00:10:40,614.97901168 So reassessment is basically how you can stay current with your body's shifts and also with the different stages of care. 103 00:10:40,614.97901168 --> 00:10:54,509.97901168 Because whenever you are going through treatment, whatever you were given to support yourself during treatment, whether it was to manage the side effects, or to be more cancer killing, or to improve the efficacy of your treatment plan, whether it's chemo or radiation, or whatever, make them work better. 104 00:10:55,399.97901168 --> 00:11:00,949.97901168 It's gonna be different once you're post-treatment or even if you're in chemo versus radiation. 105 00:11:01,189.97901168 --> 00:11:03,769.97901168 You're gonna have different interventions at that time as well. 106 00:11:04,9.97901168 --> 00:11:09,499.97901168 And it's important to reassess because potentially it might not be as effective anymore. 107 00:11:09,499.97901168 --> 00:11:12,889.97901168 It could even be, uh, interfering with some of your treatment too. 108 00:11:12,889.97901168 --> 00:11:19,69.97901168 So we wanna check in to see what can we do to give you the optimal plan at the time that you needed, basically. 109 00:11:19,654.97901168 --> 00:11:24,484.97901168 The other thing is that reassessment can avoid a lot of wasted effort, time, money. 110 00:11:24,674.97901168 --> 00:11:34,874.97901168 If you don't really reassess, then there's this risk of pouring all of this energy and, and potentially money into things like supplements or specific diets or tech or whatever it might be. 111 00:11:35,119.97901168 --> 00:11:37,639.97901168 And it might, it might not actually be moving the needle. 112 00:11:37,969.97901168 --> 00:11:41,929.97901168 And until we reassess, we don't really know is it moving the needle or not. 113 00:11:41,959.97901168 --> 00:11:46,109.97901168 We wanna see if it's working and we wanna be able to see if it's not working. 114 00:11:46,109.97901168 --> 00:11:51,209.97901168 We wanna be able to course correct very quickly so we can get you into the right flow of things that is actually going to work. 115 00:11:51,839.97901168 --> 00:11:53,219.97901168 So let's talk about. 116 00:11:53,854.97901168 --> 00:11:58,744.97901168 How to reassess and I'm just calling everyone back in here in case you drifted away. 117 00:11:58,924.97901168 --> 00:12:01,174.97901168 I know I do speak very quickly as well. 118 00:12:01,174.97901168 --> 00:12:06,724.97901168 I'm gonna try to slow down, but I'm calling you back in here right now 'cause these are very important steps. 119 00:12:06,724.97901168 --> 00:12:17,614.97901168 I'm gonna talk about three specific ways to, uh, reassess and I want you to start to use this information to analyze your own treatment plan to see is there anything that you can do to. 120 00:12:18,144.97901168 --> 00:12:20,784.97901168 To reassess more effectively and make sure that it's working for you. 121 00:12:20,964.97901168 --> 00:12:24,204.97901168 Alright, so part one, we kind of talked about you. 122 00:12:24,204.97901168 --> 00:12:25,404.97901168 You need to start at the beginning. 123 00:12:25,404.97901168 --> 00:12:27,984.97901168 You need to assess before you reassess. 124 00:12:27,984.97901168 --> 00:12:36,774.97901168 So before you start initiating any changes, I want you to make sure that you set up your assessment properly, you get all your data, you choose an intervention, and then you carry forward. 125 00:12:36,894.97901168 --> 00:12:38,214.97901168 But let's say you're carrying it forward. 126 00:12:38,214.97901168 --> 00:12:39,804.97901168 Now we need to reassess. 127 00:12:39,804.97901168 --> 00:12:45,324.97901168 So the first step of reassessing is to basically outline what is your goal. 128 00:12:45,944.97901168 --> 00:12:54,764.97901168 And what are the symptoms that you want to resolve? So we're gonna go into the details behind your goal, the details behind whatever symptom or whatever it might be. 129 00:12:54,764.97901168 --> 00:13:05,234.97901168 Whether it's, um, we're talking about maybe you hot flashes or high cholesterol, or low energy or brain fog, or you're legitimately just trying to keep cancer from coming back. 130 00:13:05,784.97901168 --> 00:13:10,464.97901168 These are all your goals, and we need to dig in deeper to analyze those goals. 131 00:13:10,464.97901168 --> 00:13:29,124.97901168 What do they mean to do to mean to you? How are they affecting your life? What can we assess basically in order to make sure that they're working? So, what do you wanna change? Um, do you have low ferritin on your blood work and we need to bring the iron back up? Do you again, have hot flashes? And they're, they're five times a day. 132 00:13:29,124.97901168 --> 00:13:30,504.97901168 They wake you up at night. 133 00:13:30,624.97901168 --> 00:13:31,974.97901168 You have to change your clothes twice a day. 134 00:13:32,559.97901168 --> 00:13:40,389.97901168 These are all the details we want to gather so that we can use them to, uh, reassess after applying an intervention to make sure that's working. 135 00:13:41,49.97901168 --> 00:13:56,469.97901168 Alright, so do you have objective markers? Do you have blood work? Do you have subjective markers, like your symptoms, the intensity of things, the frequency of things? How are they impacting your life? You wanna get a little journal together and you wanna write down all of these details because. 136 00:13:56,994.97901168 --> 00:14:04,584.97901168 I tell you, I, I describe a lot of health changes like day, turning into night, where sometimes you're just, it's, it's twilight. 137 00:14:04,584.97901168 --> 00:14:05,634.97901168 You're going about your day. 138 00:14:05,634.97901168 --> 00:14:09,174.97901168 It's still a little bit bright out, and then all of a sudden you look outside and it's pitch dark. 139 00:14:10,44.97901168 --> 00:14:17,304.97901168 And that transition happens so slowly and gradually over time, that sometimes you don't even notice a difference and all of a sudden it just happened. 140 00:14:17,634.97901168 --> 00:14:32,754.97901168 So if we're looking at your health interventions and you are, you are changing something and you are basically looking at where are you right now and it's impacting you this way, and then you apply an intervention and you're reassessing like a couple months down the road. 141 00:14:33,144.97901168 --> 00:14:38,694.97901168 You might not even notice throughout the couple months up to the time that you notice the change that anything has changed. 142 00:14:38,814.97901168 --> 00:14:40,554.97901168 But then you truly dig in, reassess. 143 00:14:40,554.97901168 --> 00:14:47,34.97901168 So let's say you did your journal and you analyzed all of your hot flash symptoms at the very beginning, before you made any change. 144 00:14:47,214.97901168 --> 00:14:51,564.97901168 And then you apply your change and you go through a couple months and a couple months later you're like. 145 00:14:52,164.97901168 --> 00:14:58,644.97901168 Well, I still feel like I have a hot flash now and then, but then you journal it all and you realize, oh, now I only have hot flashes once a day. 146 00:14:58,644.97901168 --> 00:14:59,844.97901168 Now I'm sleeping through the night. 147 00:14:59,844.97901168 --> 00:15:01,974.97901168 Five or six days outta seven. 148 00:15:02,244.97901168 --> 00:15:04,194.97901168 Um, I don't have to change my clothes anymore. 149 00:15:04,704.97901168 --> 00:15:09,594.97901168 And then you compare it to your initial notes where you're like, I had to change my clothes two times a day. 150 00:15:09,594.97901168 --> 00:15:10,794.97901168 I wasn't sleeping. 151 00:15:11,64.97901168 --> 00:15:15,114.97901168 Um, the hot flashes were so intense, so frequent, and now it's much better. 152 00:15:15,324.97901168 --> 00:15:25,104.97901168 And because it happened over such a long time sometimes that you forget how bad it used to be and you're like, you didn't realize that your intervention actually did work. 153 00:15:25,284.97901168 --> 00:15:28,374.97901168 So it's really important to compare your day to your night. 154 00:15:28,614.97901168 --> 00:15:34,14.97901168 Um, and see what is the difference after your certain time period, because it just gives you the sense of yes, it did work. 155 00:15:34,164.97901168 --> 00:15:36,654.97901168 And sometimes we just miss that it did work sometimes. 156 00:15:36,834.97901168 --> 00:15:41,994.97901168 So we wanna really analyze that and journal things in the very beginning and then reassess over time in journalism. 157 00:15:41,994.97901168 --> 00:15:45,384.97901168 Again, I kind of went off topic there, but just to kind of bring it back. 158 00:15:45,384.97901168 --> 00:15:51,354.97901168 So your first step of reassessment is first to have your, your goal outlined, your symptom outlined in great detail. 159 00:15:51,634.97901168 --> 00:15:57,584.97901168 Everything from the intensity, the frequency, the blood work markers, whatever it might be, because you're gonna use that to reflect back on. 160 00:15:58,64.97901168 --> 00:15:58,814.97901168 In a little bit. 161 00:15:59,544.97901168 --> 00:16:00,984.97901168 Also I want you to think about this. 162 00:16:00,984.97901168 --> 00:16:12,984.97901168 So what does success look like to you? Does it look like it's a hundred percent resolved? Does it look like it's 50% resolved? Because that can be different, uh, from everybody. 163 00:16:12,984.97901168 --> 00:16:13,74.97901168 So. 164 00:16:13,494.97901168 --> 00:16:18,654.97901168 So maybe if you still had a hot flash every day, that would be devastating to you. 165 00:16:18,804.97901168 --> 00:16:22,914.97901168 So maybe you wanna, and that would be completely okay for someone else. 166 00:16:23,34.97901168 --> 00:16:30,924.97901168 So I want you to analyze what does success look like for you? 'cause this gives us the working point that we wanna work towards, that it gives us our goal, our motivation. 167 00:16:31,414.97901168 --> 00:16:32,734.97901168 That's what we wanna see. 168 00:16:32,824.97901168 --> 00:16:39,364.97901168 You achieve whenever we know that something is actually successful, that whatever intervention you applied is actually successful or not. 169 00:16:39,424.97901168 --> 00:16:49,234.9790117 Okay? So let's move into the second part of, uh, reassessment, which is to decide on and fully understand your intervention. 170 00:16:50,4.9790117 --> 00:17:13,544.9790117 You wanna know whatever you choose to resolve your symptom or achieve your goal, how long should it take to work? How consistent do you need to be with this change that you're applying in order for it to be successful in order for it to work? And how well is it expected to work? And again, I'll go into better examples of this in just a few minutes but just to kind of put it out there. 171 00:17:14,339.9790117 --> 00:17:18,959.9790117 So how long does it take to work, let's say that you're expecting to change your cholesterol markers. 172 00:17:19,249.9790117 --> 00:17:26,519.9790117 And so cholesterol markers with diet changes tend to take, they say in conventional, recommendations about three months. 173 00:17:26,669.9790117 --> 00:17:35,429.9790117 To be honest, I find that it takes about six months for us to truly see a, a budge on blood work that is drastic enough to say, yes, it is working. 174 00:17:35,679.9790117 --> 00:17:38,589.9790117 Because it takes a while for people to put the intervention into place. 175 00:17:38,769.9790117 --> 00:17:40,659.9790117 Your body's, it's not just gonna. 176 00:17:41,224.9790117 --> 00:17:42,574.9790117 Work the next day. 177 00:17:42,574.9790117 --> 00:17:44,254.9790117 You start a diet, it takes some time. 178 00:17:44,504.9790117 --> 00:17:51,374.9790117 So I find, uh, intervention for cholesterol could take up to six months to truly see an impact where we wanna say it's working or it's not working. 179 00:17:51,674.9790117 --> 00:17:54,704.9790117 What we don't wanna see is it getting worse at the three month mark. 180 00:17:54,824.9790117 --> 00:17:57,194.9790117 We wanna see at least staying the same, if not getting better. 181 00:17:57,194.9790117 --> 00:18:02,324.9790117 But it should be very much better at a six month mark if we're doing dietary interventions, for example, for cholesterol. 182 00:18:02,914.9790117 --> 00:18:10,444.9790117 So whenever we get the objective markers on your blood work, we wanna change the cholesterol, we want to change that by a certain dietary plan. 183 00:18:10,594.9790117 --> 00:18:14,44.9790117 Maybe it's a Mediterranean diet for ease of explanation here. 184 00:18:14,224.9790117 --> 00:18:20,854.9790117 So you're gonna apply the Mediterranean diet, you know, it takes about three to six months for the dietary changes to impact your blood work. 185 00:18:20,854.9790117 --> 00:18:24,64.9790117 So you're gonna reassess your blood work at three in six months. 186 00:18:24,374.9790117 --> 00:18:28,544.9790117 It's expected that the Mediterranean diet could potentially even give you a hundred percent. 187 00:18:28,909.9790117 --> 00:18:33,229.9790117 Resolution of your high cholesterol, where your cholesterol markers get back into normal. 188 00:18:33,499.9790117 --> 00:18:35,629.9790117 That's our expectation around our intervention. 189 00:18:38,134.9790117 --> 00:18:47,614.9790117 If you are a cancer survivor and you've ever looked at your blood work and thought, okay, but what does this actually mean for me? You're not alone, and I've created something just for you. 190 00:18:48,4.9790117 --> 00:18:51,364.9790117 It's called The Blood Work Clarity Live Bootcamp for Cancer survivors. 191 00:18:51,514.9790117 --> 00:19:04,864.9790117 And in this virtual four part training, I'll walk you through how to actually use your labs, not just understand the numbers, but translate them into clear decisions about the best foods, supplements, and next steps to help reduce your risk of cancer coming back. 192 00:19:05,584.9790117 --> 00:19:13,174.9790117 This isn't about what's within range, it's about what's optimal because for survivors, fine is just not good enough. 193 00:19:13,594.9790117 --> 00:19:34,804.9790117 In this bootcamp, I'll walk you through which blood markers actually matter, how to order the right blood work, even if you're having a little trouble with your medical team, what labs can tell you about inflammation, insulin, nutrient absorption, hormone shifts and more, and how to use those results to make clear, confident decisions about food, supplements, and your next best steps to feeling better and staying cancer free. 194 00:19:35,329.9790117 --> 00:19:36,769.9790117 No more Googling symptoms. 195 00:19:37,69.9790117 --> 00:19:44,149.9790117 No more wondering if that new supplement is actually helping just straight answers backed by science and personalized to your body. 196 00:19:44,569.9790117 --> 00:19:50,599.9790117 If you're ready to feel more in control of your health and to stop guessing, join me for the Blood Work Clarity Live bootcamp. 197 00:19:50,899.9790117 --> 00:19:54,589.9790117 We start soon and you can grab your [e-mail] 198 00:19:54,949.9790117 --> 00:19:55,879.9790117 slash bootcamp. 199 00:19:56,329.9790117 --> 00:20:02,89.9790117 Let's get you clear and confident on your next best steps to feeling great and staying cancer free after cancer. 200 00:20:02,464.9790117 --> 00:20:05,704.9790117 Head to flourish after cancer.com/bootcamp 201 00:20:05,734.9790117 --> 00:20:07,114.9790117 to learn more and sign up. 202 00:20:07,324.9790117 --> 00:20:08,464.9790117 I can't wait to see you there. 203 00:20:10,57.2239096 --> 00:20:13,807.2239096 And potentially we might see a difference in your energy as well. 204 00:20:13,807.2239096 --> 00:20:16,237.2239096 So your energy is now four outta 10. 205 00:20:16,447.2239096 --> 00:20:22,867.2239096 We're gonna aim for an eight outta 10 energy change when it comes to lowering your cholesterol and going on this Mediterranean diet. 206 00:20:22,867.2239096 --> 00:20:31,487.2239096 So we've reassessed, we added some numbers, we have some markers to go by in order to see is this intervention intervention actually gonna be working? We got our timeline. 207 00:20:31,487.2239096 --> 00:20:36,317.2239096 All these are important, and then we wanna decide how we're gonna reassess. 208 00:20:36,317.2239096 --> 00:20:41,792.2239096 Like when are we gonna reassess? Again, we're looking at a three to six month timeline, for example, for cholesterol. 209 00:20:42,72.2239096 --> 00:20:47,232.2239096 How are you gonna do it? Are you gonna fill out this journal that I suggested at the beginning?

And I just wanna put in a slight caveat that we can't measure everything. 211 00:21:02,398.8905763 --> 00:21:06,838.8905763 For example, we can't a hundred percent be sure is cancer in the body or not. 212 00:21:07,78.8905763 --> 00:21:15,768.8905763 There are some ways, we can look at CT DNA testing we can look at your scans and make sure that they're staying clear and empty. 213 00:21:16,108.8905763 --> 00:21:19,828.8905763 But we, we wanna measure more than what is typically done. 214 00:21:19,828.8905763 --> 00:21:21,953.8905763 There's definitely a lot more that we can do above and beyond. 215 00:21:22,663.8905763 --> 00:21:23,803.8905763 Well, we'll see you in a couple months. 216 00:21:23,803.8905763 --> 00:21:25,723.8905763 Good luck with your nutrition exercise plans. 217 00:21:25,723.8905763 --> 00:21:32,683.8905763 You guys know the, the spiel, right?

Because whenever you have a goal, like if you want to increase your vitamin level, you wanna resolve a symptom, you wanna change a pathway that could be conducive to causing cancer. 269 00:25:06,148.8905763 --> 00:25:15,88.8905763 I always say, for lack of a better saying, um, a better way to say this, and if you can think of a better way to say this, please send me a message on Instagram. 270 00:25:15,88.8905763 --> 00:25:15,893.8905763 I would love a different. 271 00:25:16,618.8905763 --> 00:25:25,978.8905763 Story of how to say this because this sounds awful, but when it comes to figuring out how to resolve a symptom, there is more than one way to skin a cat. 272 00:25:26,338.8905763 --> 00:25:30,508.8905763 And I don't like the visual that creates, but there is more than one way to skin a cat. 273 00:25:30,688.8905763 --> 00:25:34,348.8905763 So if you're looking to raise a vitamin level, you apply an intervention, it doesn't work. 274 00:25:34,438.8905763 --> 00:25:37,438.8905763 There's going to be another way to raise that vitamin level. 275 00:25:37,568.8905763 --> 00:25:39,128.8905763 There's another way to skin that cat. 276 00:25:39,368.8905763 --> 00:25:44,168.8905763 And again, send me a DM on Instagram if you can figure out or put it in the YouTube. 277 00:25:44,513.8905763 --> 00:25:45,773.8905763 Channel comments or whatever. 278 00:25:45,773.8905763 --> 00:25:50,253.8905763 I would love a different way, different expression than there's more than one way to skin a cat. 279 00:25:50,253.8905763 --> 00:25:50,533.8905763 So let me know. 280 00:25:51,243.8905763 --> 00:25:53,13.8905763 So let's go through what that might look like. 281 00:25:53,463.8905763 --> 00:26:01,443.8905763 So let's say you did your initial assessment, you did your blood work, and you found out that your vitamin D is a suboptimal level. 282 00:26:01,563.8905763 --> 00:26:05,463.8905763 It's 36 and you want it to be closer to like 75, let's say. 283 00:26:05,463.8905763 --> 00:26:07,53.8905763 That's, that's what we're looking at here. 284 00:26:07,383.8905763 --> 00:26:10,533.8905763 Now your goal is to raise your vitamin D level. 285 00:26:10,833.8905763 --> 00:26:16,833.8905763 And let's say that you learned that your friend Barry, she had low vitamin D level before too, and she's. 286 00:26:16,833.8905763 --> 00:26:21,58.8905763 What she did to get that level up is she started eating more fish. 287 00:26:21,88.8905763 --> 00:26:25,738.8905763 She started eating more eggs, and she took a tablet of vitamin D. 288 00:26:25,738.8905763 --> 00:26:28,48.8905763 So fish eggs, they're more rich in vitamin D. 289 00:26:28,938.8905763 --> 00:26:45,528.8905763 And she also decided to take a little white tablet of vitamin DHA each day, and she saw that her levels went from in the thirties whenever she tested her blood work to about 60, and that took her about three months of eating the fish eggs and taking that tablet of vitamin D. 290 00:26:45,918.8905763 --> 00:26:47,598.8905763 So you choose to do what Mary did. 291 00:26:47,598.8905763 --> 00:26:53,88.8905763 You chose the intervention of the fish, eggs and the little tablet of vitamin D, the same one that she bought. 292 00:26:53,463.8905763 --> 00:26:59,223.8905763 And you're like, okay, in three months I'm going to, uh, retest and see where my blood level is at. 293 00:26:59,703.8905763 --> 00:27:01,653.8905763 So you reassess, you do the blood level again. 294 00:27:02,133.8905763 --> 00:27:07,503.8905763 Even though it worked for Mary, whenever you retest it, you saw that your level was still 36. 295 00:27:07,503.8905763 --> 00:27:11,193.8905763 It didn't budge a number, it didn't budge an inch, basically. 296 00:27:11,463.8905763 --> 00:27:14,343.8905763 So now what do you have to do? You've done your reassessment. 297 00:27:14,463.8905763 --> 00:27:24,503.8905763 Now you need to troubleshoot and troubleshooting will cover things like, did you actually eat the fish and eggs every day? We were like, not really. 298 00:27:24,653.8905763 --> 00:27:26,33.8905763 I didn't eat them regularly. 299 00:27:26,33.8905763 --> 00:27:28,823.8905763 Some weeks I went, I didn't even have any fish whatsoever. 300 00:27:29,33.8905763 --> 00:27:35,303.8905763 I probably didn't really achieve the vitamin D levels through foods that I, I could have, um, because I don't like them. 301 00:27:35,423.8905763 --> 00:27:39,263.8905763 So troubleshooting is about, well, let's figure out something that you do like instead. 302 00:27:39,753.8905763 --> 00:27:41,973.8905763 Maybe that dose didn't work for you either. 303 00:27:41,973.8905763 --> 00:27:43,623.8905763 Maybe we need to increase the dose. 304 00:27:44,88.8905763 --> 00:27:52,158.8905763 Or maybe your, your blueprint and your, your body is set up in a different way where you don't absorb the tablet form of vitamin D very well. 305 00:27:52,788.8905763 --> 00:27:58,458.8905763 Maybe you need a fat soluble form of vitamin D because vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin. 306 00:27:58,458.8905763 --> 00:28:05,238.8905763 It does like some fat in order to be absorbed into your cells, into the body where it's needed to actually raise your vitamin D levels. 307 00:28:05,618.8905763 --> 00:28:08,983.8905763 So these are kind of some thought processes to have whenever you're troubleshooting. 308 00:28:09,673.8905763 --> 00:28:28,43.8905763 One, did I actually follow the intervention appropriately? Two, did I like the intervention? Was I able to make it work for me? Three, was it the right dose? Was it the right form? These are all parts of troubleshooting and really it is your, your way to make sure that your plan's going to work for you. 309 00:28:28,163.8905763 --> 00:28:30,473.8905763 It is the other way to skin a cat. 310 00:28:31,13.8905763 --> 00:28:31,613.8905763 Awful story. 311 00:28:31,913.8905763 --> 00:28:36,893.8905763 All right, so basically troubleshooting will turn this sense of frustration into clarity as well. 312 00:28:36,893.8905763 --> 00:28:40,763.8905763 This is the mindset switch that I want you to have when it comes to your plans. 313 00:28:41,103.8905763 --> 00:28:45,663.8905763 Instead of thinking that, ugh, nothing works for me, it's just I'm, I'm screwed. 314 00:28:45,723.8905763 --> 00:28:46,563.8905763 It's just not gonna work. 315 00:28:47,493.8905763 --> 00:28:50,853.8905763 You are gonna reframe this as a data point. 316 00:28:50,883.8905763 --> 00:28:54,393.8905763 You now know that this intervention isn't going to work for you. 317 00:28:54,393.8905763 --> 00:28:55,143.8905763 It didn't budget. 318 00:28:55,143.8905763 --> 00:29:00,723.8905763 So we need to know that we can cross those things off our list and move on to the next part of our troubleshooting plan. 319 00:29:00,723.8905763 --> 00:29:01,818.8905763 Instead, we're gonna switch to a. 320 00:29:02,473.8905763 --> 00:29:05,893.8905763 Fat soluble source of vitamin D and we're gonna increase the dose in order to get it up. 321 00:29:06,393.8905763 --> 00:29:20,293.8905763 We, it also helps to keep your plan realistic because often what looks good on paper will hit kind of bumps in real life, like your kids had extra soccer and you weren't able to prepare the fish. 322 00:29:20,468.8905763 --> 00:29:30,918.8905763 That you thought you were gonna be able to eat more often, you had to potentially eat out or you had to have more sandwiches or just not vitamin D rich foods, because that just didn't work for your schedule. 323 00:29:31,723.8905763 --> 00:29:47,263.8905763 You had weird side effects where you tried to eat more fish, but you were getting fish burps and it was gross and you just didn't want to have that anymore or stinking up your house and the family couldn't stand having salmon one more time, so you had to, um, switch to something else. 324 00:29:47,263.8905763 --> 00:29:48,553.8905763 It just wasn't working for you. 325 00:29:49,28.8905763 --> 00:29:54,308.8905763 Uh, troubleshooting basically gives you that sense of flexibility without guilt, you know, that there's another option available. 326 00:29:54,638.8905763 --> 00:29:56,708.8905763 It, it, it again, is a, is a data point. 327 00:29:56,708.8905763 --> 00:29:59,228.8905763 It's not a, this failed, it is a data point. 328 00:29:59,878.8905763 --> 00:30:03,388.8905763 In conventional medicine, there's often a system to follow. 329 00:30:04,383.8905763 --> 00:30:09,573.8905763 Where like patient presents with X, we treat with Y, we expect Zed to happen. 330 00:30:09,873.8905763 --> 00:30:13,833.8905763 And medications, conventional medicine can be very strong. 331 00:30:14,103.8905763 --> 00:30:21,883.8905763 They are able to kind of bypass the body's natural processes to push the body to do what is necessary. 332 00:30:22,313.8905763 --> 00:30:29,813.8905763 Whereas in natural medicine, holistic, whole body medicine, lifestyle, medicine, nutrition, supplementation, all these kind of things. 333 00:30:30,173.8905763 --> 00:30:43,253.8905763 What the goal is, is to actually encourage the body to get what it needs to function optimally and to create a resolution of whatever symptom or to create, to just give you your goal. 334 00:30:43,433.8905763 --> 00:30:46,463.8905763 The way I see it is that conventional medicine is kind of like. 335 00:30:47,198.8905763 --> 00:30:48,998.8905763 Giving the person the fish. 336 00:30:49,238.8905763 --> 00:30:53,378.8905763 Whereas naturopathic medicine is like teaching the person to fish. 337 00:30:53,618.8905763 --> 00:30:59,18.8905763 So you know, if you, the saying, if you give a person a fish, they'll eat for a day. 338 00:30:59,168.8905763 --> 00:31:01,988.8905763 If you teach a person to fish how to fish. 339 00:31:02,483.8905763 --> 00:31:04,313.8905763 They'll eat for their lifetime. 340 00:31:04,553.8905763 --> 00:31:18,53.8905763 So our goal with functional naturopathic holistic lifestyle medicine is to teach your body how to fish so that it can heal and it can create this pattern in your body for a lifetime where it's not conducive to cancer starting or growing. 341 00:31:18,263.8905763 --> 00:31:24,53.8905763 So that will take some troubleshooting, that will take some effort to figure out what's gonna work for you for the long run. 342 00:31:24,53.8905763 --> 00:31:28,283.8905763 And again, it's not a failure, it is power for the course when we're trying to figure out. 343 00:31:28,508.8905763 --> 00:31:37,868.8905763 What can you be consistent with for your entire life and what's gonna work for you? Your life, your body, your blueprint, your genetics, all those kind of pieces. 344 00:31:38,18.8905763 --> 00:31:42,638.8905763 That's what holistic medicine really does, and nutrition and supplements and exercise. 345 00:31:43,58.8905763 --> 00:31:43,988.8905763 That's what that does. 346 00:31:43,988.8905763 --> 00:31:44,498.8905763 Okay. 347 00:31:44,888.8905763 --> 00:31:52,238.8905763 So just to again, nail, nail this home here is that troubleshooting is a necessary part of your plan. 348 00:31:52,418.8905763 --> 00:31:57,158.8905763 It's not a sign of failure or that you're doing the wrong thing. 349 00:31:57,188.8905763 --> 00:32:02,828.8905763 I mean, it can be the wrong thing, but you sometimes have to do that in order to know what the right thing is. 350 00:32:02,888.8905763 --> 00:32:03,158.8905763 Okay. 351 00:32:03,848.8905763 --> 00:32:07,268.8905763 Maybe your meal planning didn't suit your schedule, whatever. 352 00:32:07,298.8905763 --> 00:32:10,178.8905763 And this works whenever you're working with us as practitioners as well. 353 00:32:10,268.8905763 --> 00:32:13,628.8905763 We wanna give you something to try, try being the key word. 354 00:32:13,748.8905763 --> 00:32:19,418.8905763 And now it's about your feedback, your reassessment, your troubleshooting, and we troubleshoot with you. 355 00:32:19,418.8905763 --> 00:32:22,778.8905763 So you didn't like, those foods, didn't work for your schedule. 356 00:32:22,948.8905763 --> 00:32:25,738.8905763 Maybe that just wasn't the right food to change your blood work. 357 00:32:26,398.8905763 --> 00:32:30,778.8905763 That supplement actually didn't impact your epigenetics or your blueprint the way that we want it to. 358 00:32:30,778.8905763 --> 00:32:34,858.8905763 So it didn't create the raised vitamin D levels or whatever it might be. 359 00:32:35,98.8905763 --> 00:32:37,168.8905763 We just need to change course and that's okay. 360 00:32:37,258.8905763 --> 00:32:37,768.8905763 Okay. 361 00:32:38,608.8905763 --> 00:32:42,568.8905763 So let's get into some examples of reassessment and troubleshooting. 362 00:32:42,768.8905763 --> 00:32:51,548.8905763 I'm gonna go back to the menopause one because it's a common thing that we see in our practice, whether it's from cancer treatment or someone just going through menopause. 363 00:32:51,548.8905763 --> 00:32:53,408.8905763 We work with a lot of women, mostly women. 364 00:32:54,68.8905763 --> 00:32:56,588.8905763 So let's use the example of hot flashes. 365 00:32:56,978.8905763 --> 00:32:58,898.8905763 So let's look at reassessment. 366 00:32:58,958.8905763 --> 00:33:01,838.8905763 Your goal, your symptom is hot flashes. 367 00:33:01,868.8905763 --> 00:33:03,248.8905763 That's what you wanna get rid of. 368 00:33:03,638.8905763 --> 00:33:10,238.8905763 And your markers here to, to kind of get your starting point, are that you have hot flashes five times a day. 369 00:33:10,508.8905763 --> 00:33:12,248.8905763 You have to change your clothes several times a day. 370 00:33:12,248.8905763 --> 00:33:15,908.8905763 Let's say three times a day, you're getting woken up twice a night with hot flashes. 371 00:33:17,33.8905763 --> 00:33:21,863.8905763 The intensity is seven outta 10, 10 being unbearable. 372 00:33:22,133.8905763 --> 00:33:29,453.8905763 Um, so we got your frequency, we got your intensity, we've got what, how It's impacting your life with sleep and having to change your clothes. 373 00:33:29,453.8905763 --> 00:33:32,393.8905763 So we've now analyzed your symptom. 374 00:33:32,513.8905763 --> 00:33:35,723.8905763 We know that the goal is to get better than that. 375 00:33:36,173.8905763 --> 00:33:40,733.8905763 Um, we wanna get it less intense, less frequent, improve your sleep, those kind of things. 376 00:33:41,498.8905763 --> 00:33:44,678.8905763 Let's say the intervention you're gonna choose is hypnotherapy. 377 00:33:44,918.8905763 --> 00:33:48,668.8905763 I don't know if you've heard of hypnotherapy for hot flashes, but it's very effective. 378 00:33:48,668.8905763 --> 00:33:54,858.8905763 In fact, it can reduce hot flashes like within about eight weeks basically. 379 00:33:54,858.8905763 --> 00:33:59,808.8905763 So you can actually see a reduction in the number of hot flashes, the intensity of your hot flashes within about eight weeks. 380 00:33:59,808.8905763 --> 00:34:03,468.8905763 So that's our timeline is we wanna apply this intervention for at least eight weeks. 381 00:34:03,948.8905763 --> 00:34:08,958.8905763 Um, we would, you would ideally like to see the intensity. 382 00:34:09,203.8905763 --> 00:34:11,873.8905763 Decrease, maybe 60 to 80%. 383 00:34:11,873.8905763 --> 00:34:16,733.8905763 So if our intensity is seven outta 10, I'm not gonna do 60, 80% on the fly. 384 00:34:16,733.8905763 --> 00:34:21,708.8905763 But let's say we're looking for an intensity of two outta 10, you get a little hot flash, you're like, Ooh, that's a hot flash. 385 00:34:22,413.8905763 --> 00:34:24,3.8905763 It sucks and then it goes away. 386 00:34:24,63.8905763 --> 00:34:24,813.8905763 So that's our goals. 387 00:34:24,813.8905763 --> 00:34:26,403.8905763 We want an intensity of two outta 10. 388 00:34:27,23.8905763 --> 00:34:33,653.8905763 Let's say you're having them five a day, so you want them maybe a couple times a week max or none. 389 00:34:33,923.8905763 --> 00:34:38,453.8905763 So we want our realistic goal and then we want our best case scenario would be none. 390 00:34:38,483.8905763 --> 00:34:38,793.8905763 That's our goal. 391 00:34:40,68.8905763 --> 00:34:47,28.8905763 So we know that we have to do hypnotherapy, let's say four times a week for it to be effective too. 392 00:34:47,358.8905763 --> 00:34:50,508.8905763 Um, so here are your markers just kind of summarized. 393 00:34:50,628.8905763 --> 00:34:53,508.8905763 We wanted, you have to do the hypnotherapy four times a week. 394 00:34:53,568.8905763 --> 00:34:58,788.8905763 We want an expectation of a number of hot flashes to be zero to three times per week. 395 00:34:58,908.8905763 --> 00:35:01,338.8905763 The intensity should be up to two outta 10. 396 00:35:01,518.8905763 --> 00:35:07,368.8905763 Let's say that it's not waking you up anymore at night, and let's say that, um, you don't have to change your clothes anymore. 397 00:35:07,968.8905763 --> 00:35:13,728.8905763 So let's say that that's your, uh, ideal expectation about this intervention of hypnotherapy. 398 00:35:13,938.8905763 --> 00:35:15,918.8905763 So we outlined your goal, your symptom. 399 00:35:16,38.8905763 --> 00:35:22,608.8905763 We've outlined your intervention in the expectations around how to do the intervention and how effective it should be, and you want it to be. 400 00:35:22,938.8905763 --> 00:35:28,368.8905763 Then let's reassess throughout your eight week mark, 'cause that's about how long it takes for the hypnotherapy to work. 401 00:35:28,518.8905763 --> 00:35:29,718.8905763 You're gonna go back to your journal. 402 00:35:29,718.8905763 --> 00:35:44,298.8905763 You're gonna see your, you're gonna write down again, how often are they happening? Are you waking up throughout the night? You're basically just gonna answer all the same questions again to get an idea of did it work or not? And I can't tell you how many times people just don't reassess. 403 00:35:44,508.8905763 --> 00:35:54,448.8905763 And like I said, you keep doing it forever and you're just constantly in this confusion zone of is this truly working? Or the night, the day night effect that I described earlier where. 404 00:35:54,913.8905763 --> 00:36:05,323.8905763 Things reduce so slowly that eventually you do get a resolution of the symptoms, but you had so much going on in the meantime that you completely forgot about it and your symptoms resolved. 405 00:36:05,323.8905763 --> 00:36:15,703.8905763 But you're still taking the black OSH or whatever you might be taking in order to resolve the hot flash or you're, you still do the hypnotherapy even though you don't need to do it anymore. 406 00:36:16,3.8905763 --> 00:36:22,783.8905763 So reassessments super important for letting you know, can you just stop whatever you're doing? 'Cause it already worked too. 407 00:36:23,503.8905763 --> 00:36:23,983.8905763 Alright. 408 00:36:24,13.8905763 --> 00:36:27,703.8905763 And then let's say you don't see a change with the hypnotherapy, then we troubleshoot. 409 00:36:27,703.8905763 --> 00:36:29,233.8905763 We wanna go on to something else. 410 00:36:29,503.8905763 --> 00:36:31,813.8905763 Let's go to our next best intervention. 411 00:36:31,813.8905763 --> 00:36:37,363.8905763 Let's say you wanna try Black Coho, which is a type of supplement that can potentially help with hot flashes. 412 00:36:37,553.8905763 --> 00:36:46,223.8905763 Just a little side note is that we do wanna be cautious about black coho in a hormone responsive cancer, but we have used it with some of our clients in the um. 413 00:36:46,483.8905763 --> 00:36:47,923.8905763 In the past or recently actually. 414 00:36:48,163.8905763 --> 00:36:52,603.8905763 Uh, and to reduce their hot flashes just with the, with a more individualized assessment there. 415 00:36:52,813.8905763 --> 00:36:57,43.8905763 But yeah, let's say, um, hypnotherapy, you did it well, but it just didn't work for you. 416 00:36:57,73.8905763 --> 00:36:58,303.8905763 Now we're gonna try black coho. 417 00:36:58,483.8905763 --> 00:37:00,283.8905763 You're gonna give that another four to six weeks. 418 00:37:00,283.8905763 --> 00:37:01,33.8905763 See if that worked. 419 00:37:01,183.8905763 --> 00:37:01,678.8905763 Say, if that didn't work. 420 00:37:02,293.8905763 --> 00:37:07,933.8905763 Then we potentially look into medications or, um, another natural intervention or whatever it might be. 421 00:37:08,263.8905763 --> 00:37:27,483.8905763 And I would say more times than not we're, we're seeing changes much earlier than an eight week or six week mark, but we're kind of wanting to reassess along the way a little bit too, but really make sure that we're giving the intervention the full time that it is required in order to make a difference before we try throwing in something else. 422 00:37:27,763.8905763 --> 00:37:33,103.8905763 If you start putting too many things into the mix, you're not gonna know what is actually working or not working. 423 00:37:33,103.8905763 --> 00:37:42,673.8905763 It's kinda like a scientific experiment where we just wanna keep the variables very simple, very easy, so that we can analyze what is working, what is not working. 424 00:37:42,733.8905763 --> 00:37:43,213.8905763 Okay. 425 00:37:44,293.8905763 --> 00:37:44,743.8905763 Alright. 426 00:37:44,743.8905763 --> 00:37:46,573.8905763 Let's say, let's give another example here. 427 00:37:46,783.8905763 --> 00:37:51,733.8905763 Let's say just I, I know a lot of your guys' goals are to keep cancer from coming back. 428 00:37:51,733.8905763 --> 00:37:54,493.8905763 Like that's your, that's your one and only goal. 429 00:37:54,553.8905763 --> 00:37:57,553.8905763 You don't really have any health concerns that you wanna work on. 430 00:37:57,553.8905763 --> 00:38:02,428.8905763 So how do you reassess? Analyze, troubleshoot if that is actually working or not. 431 00:38:02,698.8905763 --> 00:38:14,278.8905763 And it is a little bit more tricky, but some things that we can look at as some markers whenever we're setting up our assessment and our reassessment is we still do wanna gather your, um, your blood work. 432 00:38:14,278.8905763 --> 00:38:18,58.8905763 We still wanna gather your scans, make sure that they look all nice and clear. 433 00:38:18,388.8905763 --> 00:38:29,168.8905763 You can even do CT DNA testing, which is, um, like if you've heard of the company Ciera S-I-G-N-A-T-E-R, that's one of the CTD NA companies that you could use. 434 00:38:29,168.8905763 --> 00:38:30,488.8905763 No affiliation whatsoever. 435 00:38:30,488.8905763 --> 00:38:32,108.8905763 We just appreciate what they're doing. 436 00:38:32,388.8905763 --> 00:38:36,558.8905763 We can gather these markers for sure and then reassess those over time. 437 00:38:36,563.8905763 --> 00:38:41,298.8905763 So you do a new scan, you do more a follow-up ct, DNA testing. 438 00:38:41,623.8905763 --> 00:38:45,373.8905763 You look at your cancer antigen markers on your blood work, things like that. 439 00:38:45,433.8905763 --> 00:38:51,193.8905763 So that's how we can potentially analyze some recurrence, reduction, uh, risks, if that's your goal. 440 00:38:51,553.8905763 --> 00:38:57,73.8905763 I would say more often than not, we aren't using cancer as a marker of reducing recurrence risk. 441 00:38:57,343.8905763 --> 00:39:00,703.8905763 We are using research, uh, as objective markers. 442 00:39:00,703.8905763 --> 00:39:00,713.8905763 So. 443 00:39:01,563.8905763 --> 00:39:04,293.8905763 We know that exercise reduces recurrence risk over time. 444 00:39:04,473.8905763 --> 00:39:12,663.8905763 So we're using exercise as a goal in order to achieve the overarching goal of reducing the risk of cancer coming back. 445 00:39:12,663.8905763 --> 00:39:16,23.8905763 So we know that you want e strength training two to three times a week. 446 00:39:16,293.8905763 --> 00:39:17,463.8905763 Um, progressive overload. 447 00:39:18,83.8905763 --> 00:39:22,43.8905763 Certain kind of goals within the exercise, consistency, those kind of things. 448 00:39:22,43.8905763 --> 00:39:25,43.8905763 So we're using that as a goal to analyze recurrence risk reduction. 449 00:39:25,403.8905763 --> 00:39:34,643.8905763 We're also, again, looking at the environment in your blood work, we're looking at your blood sugar, your growth factors, your vitamin levels, inflammatory markers, immune cell counts, things like that. 450 00:39:34,853.8905763 --> 00:39:44,33.8905763 Um, we're tracking that every three to six to 12 months, depending on what your results are looking like, to analyze the envir in your body to make sure that cancer's not coming back. 451 00:39:45,13.8905763 --> 00:39:51,583.8905763 So it is a little bit tricky whenever we're looking at analyzing, assessing and troubleshooting for recurrence prevention. 452 00:39:51,673.8905763 --> 00:39:55,693.8905763 But I want you to think outside the box and not just think about cancer as a marker. 453 00:39:55,813.8905763 --> 00:40:07,133.8905763 I want you to think more about the environment and how it's conducive to or not to cancer getting its fuel, um, getting potentially hits to cells causing to be cancer. 454 00:40:07,343.8905763 --> 00:40:10,943.8905763 We can use blood work and research markers in order to. 455 00:40:11,33.8905763 --> 00:40:18,113.8905763 Create your plan to be reassessed and trouble shot, troubleshoot it over time to make sure that cancer is not coming back. 456 00:40:18,233.8905763 --> 00:40:18,713.8905763 Okay. 457 00:40:19,643.8905763 --> 00:40:25,103.8905763 So whenever you're thinking, I tried, I tried the green smoothies. 458 00:40:25,103.8905763 --> 00:40:28,853.8905763 I tried all the supplements that pe everyone else is taking everyone's raven about it. 459 00:40:29,483.8905763 --> 00:40:31,463.8905763 But I don't feel any different. 460 00:40:31,673.8905763 --> 00:40:34,103.8905763 This is where we draw it back to reassessing. 461 00:40:34,103.8905763 --> 00:40:58,178.8905763 Are you, are you doing the things that your body needs to mo the most? Are we seeing changes in the markers? And if we're not seeing changes in the markers, we wanna troubleshoot? So, reassessment, troubleshoot, shooting, troubleshooting, it really helps to separate the fad advice from what does your body truly need? What is actually working for you?
