What is a hormetic stressor and how can it help our bodies feel younger, look better, and even kill cancer cells? What are the true secrets of anti-aging to help us reverse our cellular age? These are the questions that my guest, Dr. Stephen Cabral, is back to discuss on today's episode of Food Heals! Dr. Cabral developed his passion for health & wellness after going through severe health complications at the age of 17. He saw over 50 different doctors, tried over 100 different treatment protocols, but still saw no hope of recovery. It wasn’t until he met an “alternative” health doctor whom explained to him how he got here and how he could become well again, that he began his recovery process. It was at this young age that he knew his life would be dedicated to helping others rebalance their bodies and renew their health. To hear his full story go all the way back to episode 186 of Food Heals, and of course you can check out his show, The Cabral Concept wherever you get your podcasts. PLUS!

What does it mean to cleanse? For many, the word throws up images of green juices and fasting. But that’s not quite accurate. You might be surprised to learn that you can cleanse in a gentler way. But you also need to go beyond diet if you want to really reset your body. Elissa Goodman looks 20 years younger than her age; you might think she’s been blessed with great genes. But, she was not the healthiest child. She had a low immune system and was always sick. She got every type of virus, digestive issues, tonsillitis, chickenpox, chronic fatigue - you name it, she had it. To make matters worse, she felt unworthy compared to her high-achieving Type A personality parents. Fast-forward to adulthood, Elissa went to college, got into advertising, and climbed that corporate ladder because she was determined to make her parents proud. But she wasn’t following her passion or purpose. She just worked. And got sicker. And one day she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She knew that this was because she’d been sick most of her life and that her lymphatic system was full of toxins that she’d been unable to clear. But she hadn’t thought of the emotional aspect. The doctors she saw first just talked of chemo and freezing her eggs. But one of them was different. He sat her down and asked: Are you happy? Are you doing what you love? It was a turning point. Elissa realized how miserable she’d been in her job and how much she disliked herself. She knew something had to change. She went 100% vegan, she started doing yoga, she went into talk therapy, and do emotional release work. She got rid of her cancer, but the radiation caused hypothyroidism. Then she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and celiac (two autoimmune conditions). And then her husband died of cancer. It was like a cascade of traumatic life events. That’s when she decided to go back to school and learn about nutrition so she could help her daughters stay healthy. And that was it - she never looked back. She became a cleanse expert to help as many people as possible get healthy the easy way. Like her 1-week soup cleanse, which contains 45 different vegetables, is totally vegan and free from anything processed or GMO. She helps her clients to reset their body and brain so they can rejuvenate, re-energize, heal, and maintain a new, healthy lifestyle long-term. Here are some of Elissa’s tips to reset your body: Juicing - a fantastic way to get all those vitamins straight into your cells Smoothies - packed with healthy fiber which helps cleanse your digestive system Vegetables, vegetables, vegetables - the more the better (especially dandelion greens, cruciferous veg, and celery) Take a good quality superfood powder Thank You to Our Sponsors!

What if every day you could elevate your consciousness, and create miracles in your life? Beating cancer can seem like a miracle. But it IS possible for everyone, and Hal Elrod is proof of this. When Hal was 20, he had a car crash and died(you read that right). He was clinically dead for 6-minutes. When he woke up from a 6-day coma, he found out he had 11 broken bones, brain damage and, according to the doctors, was never going to walk again. But he decided right then and there to maintain the faith that he was going to walk, and that he was going to do everything in his power to make it happen. Within 3 weeks of the car crash, he was taking his first steps. That marked the beginning of his life’s work. But it wasn’t an easy ride. In 2007, Hal was in a tough spot. He’d lost half his clients, lost his house, was broke and severely depressed. So he started looking into what the world’s most successful people do, and designed a morning ritual of self-improvement. Within 2 months, he’d doubled his income, completed an ultra-marathon, overcome depression and totally changed his life. To his wife, he said “It feels like a miracle.” That’s how The Miracle Morning was born. You might feel that you’re not a morning person – most of us feel the same! But how you begin your day will either put you in a sub-optimal physical, mental and emotional state, or an optimal one. Start your day at your best, and you can give your best in everything you do. This will reflect in every aspect of your life. But how? You need simple, daily strategies that you can ease into. In The Miracle Morning e-book, Hal breaks down exactly what you need to do to begin uplifting your mornings – and uplifting your life. But we’ve only told the beginning of the story... Just 2 years ago, Hal was diagnosed with acute lymphotoxin leukemia – a rare cancer with a 30% survival rate.He also had a collapsed lung, his kidneys were failing, and his heart was surrounded with fluid. He was told he had a 70%-90% chance of dying within a few months. Going without chemo was not an option – without it, he would die within a week. After doing his research, Hal decided to have the treatment, while at the same time implementing every holistic practice he could to counter the negative effects. And it worked! The cancer went into remission. Hal’s cancer-healing process? No sugar More greens Lots of supplements (food-based) Acupuncture Ozone sauna Beamer mat Coffee enemas Lymphatic massage Reading other people’s healing stories (**check the links section for ideas**) At the core of all theseindividual methods, however, is mindset. You need to believe that you can beat cancer: Unwavering faith – Faith is a loaded word these days, but faith in yourself and your limitless potential is a whole other story. Faith moves your goals from possible to probable. Extraordinary effort – Be committed to give it everything you have, and be ready to keep going. That’s how you go from probable to inevitable. Hal’s new book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions That Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible to Probably to Inevitable, is your process for goal achievement. It will help you step out of your comfort zone to pursue your biggest goals and dreams. Use it in conjunction with The Miracle Morning and you can achieve anything you set your mind to. What you’ll learn in Episode 259: How to turn your thinking around to appreciate life’s tragedies Do cancer treatments kill cancer patients? What chemo really is How to heal your body from chemo Redefining miracles and what that means for you How to use faith and effort to achieve anything you want Hal’s miracle mantra How Hal has helped over a million people transform their mornings (and their lives!)

Our Cancer Journeys and Healing Stories the Mainstream Media Isn’t Talking About Series coninues with these incredible interviews... Amanda Deming From Episode 8 Cervical cancer killed nearly 4,000 women last year. It’s the second most common cancer among women. Conventional treatments, like surgery, chemo and radiation, aren’t just poisonous, they often lead to infertility. When Amanda was diagnosed with cervical cancer, she was determined not to go down that road. Instead, she chose a raw vegan diet, meditation, and yoga. She’s now cancer-free. Jeff Witzeman From Episode 190 When Jeff’s wife was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer, she was told her life would change forever: surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, a life without an essential organ. Instead of taking the doctor’s word for it, they travelled to Germany to treat the cancer to a spa. Thanks to juicing, a plant-based diet, hyperthermia (targeted heat therapy), oxygen therapy, intravenous vitamins, and colonics, she was completely cancer-free in just one month. Tracey Edmonds FromEpisode 226 Just like Alli, Tracey lost both her parents to preventable diseases: her mom died from cancer and shortly after, her dad died from a heart attack. This made her determined to be a pillar of health and to spread the message through as many media outlets as possible. She launched the wellness website Alright Now to give people the tools they need to live their healthiest life - from nutrition and fitness to relationships and parenting. We think she rocks! Jill Tomback From Episodes 26, 27 and 28 Jill and I were room-mates when she was first diagnosed with breast cancer at just 25 years old. She endured four years of conventional treatment, including chemo and surgery. But since then, she’s taken the holistic route: she’s a plant-powered Pilates superstar, an avid juicer and a big fan of the Gerson therapy.
