A very important, and often overlooked, “cause” of cancer is the emotional wounds we may be carrying with us.
All dis-ease begins in the energetic field and when it’s not moved through it eventually takes hold in the physical field. It is believed that a chronic negative thought or feeling can kill us faster than a bad germ. This is why it is so important for us to take the time to really think about our energetic health and emotional wellness.
E-motion is really just energy in motion. If it stays in motion, we feel it fully, then release it, and it doesn’t create a problem. When the emotion is too painful or big or hard to process, the danger can be that we don’t want to feel it, stuff it away to deal with at another time, and then it gets stuck in our energetic field.
This stuck energy or blocked emotion creates areas of dis-ease, which will eventually take root in the physical body. This could be felt as aches or pains that don’t go away, tummy troubles or chronic digestive issues, a weakened immune system, or even cancer.
Taking a truly holistic approach to cancer recovery & prevention requires us to look at all the possible root causes, including our emotions & stress levels. This area of our health and wellness is just as important as our physical body and the treatments & support we bring in to help us heal. Let’s dive deeper into how our emotions can increase the risk for cancer.

Did you know that cancer rates in people under 50 have increased nearly 80% over the last 3 decades?! This is according to several recent studies. (1, 2, 3) Personally I’ve seen this in my own practice, where over half of my current clients and the members of our group coaching program are under 50 and about a third were under 40 when they first reached out to me. My youngest client this year diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer was 28 years old!

It’s officially summer vacation here in France! We are getting ready to fly from France to California for a month and planning a 2-week road trip through Northern California and Oregon. The summer season often means vacation and traveling. Do you have any fun trips coming up? Of course we are super excited to explore new places, visit with family & friends, and get a little R&R. But traveling can also be stressful and challenging to your health and wellbeing.

For over a decade now I’ve been guiding and supporting people moving through & beyond a cancer journey and I’ve learned A LOT about what it takes to support healing & optimal health. As you can imagine, my approach and strategies have evolved over the years to reflect this. And the “Healing Helix” is yet another evolution.
Supporting your recovery through cancer treatment is only half of the journey. Once treatment is complete we then need to shift our attention towards long-term recurrence prevention. This is a very important stage in the cancer journey and one in which conventional medicine has little to offer other than monitor and hope for the best.

Have you ever looked at your genetics? If you’ve gone through a cancer journey perhaps they ran some genetic testing to help dial in your treatment plan or determine your risk for recurrence. Or maybe you’ve completed a DNA test to learn more about your ancestry. The world of genetics is a positively fascinating place to explore.

Can your lifestyle be as powerful as medicine? As an Integrative & Functional Cancer Dietitian I have taught for over a decade the power of food as medicine. There are countless peer-reviewed studies showing the incredible power of foods & phytonutrients to boost the immune system, target & remove cancer cells, and promote healing in the body. But what about your lifestyle? Can this be just as powerful?
One of the fundamental pillars of an anticancer diet is to eat a colorful variety of plants. Plants are full of good-for-you fiber, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients (the chemicals that produce their color). It’s these phytonutrients that are the real cancer-fighting heroes. Here is a Cooling Anticancer Summer Salad Recipe for you to enjoy!
One of the primary pillars we use in our coaching is the importance of tapping into our evolutionary systems to build resilience. Resilience is defined as an individual’s ability to maintain or restore relatively stable psychological and physical functioning even when confronted with stressful life events. The more resilient we are, the less of a negative impact stress has on our body. And when it comes to cancer, lower stress resilience has been linked to increased risk.
It’s been 3 years since I lost my Dad to cancer. I wanted to take some time to reflect on what I’ve learned these last 3 years when it comes to processing grief and fueling purpose in your life. My Dad’s story has played a very big role in the evolution of my business and in the work that I do.
