Ever think you’re doing everything “right” but your body’s still screaming at you? You’re not making it up, and this episode proves why listening to your body could literally save your life. Jana sits down with fellow dietitian Lisandra Cruz, who opens up about her unexpected cancer diagnosis, the cracks in our healthcare system, and what it really means to prioritize your health as a woman, mom, and caregiver.
We get real about:
- How a car accident and layoff led to a life-changing diagnosis
- The danger of dismissing symptoms in the name of “being busy”
- What happens when weight loss looks healthy but isn’t
- The emotional and mental load behind lifestyle change
- Why dietitians need to move beyond weight-focused care
- How to actually use nutrition as preventive medicine
If you’ve ever brushed off your symptoms or thought “I’ll deal with it later,” this episode is your wake up call. Grab your drink, this one’s powerful.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
