When life hands you a diagnosis, how do you respond? For me and my husband, Darren, our journeys couldn’t have looked more different. When Darren was diagnosed with grade 4 brain cancer, he faced it with an unshakable calm. He trusted his treatment plan and never felt the need to overhaul his habits or add anything extra. Meanwhile, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021, I was overwhelmed with fear and worry. I wanted to change everything—my food, my environment, my routines—because I felt like I had no control. But as I dive deeper into Dr. Lissa Rankin’s book Mind Over Medicine, I’ve realized something powerful: You can drink all the green juices, do every workout, and take every supplement, but if your mindset is consumed by stress, fear, or negativity, true healing can’t take root. In this episode, I share: The very different ways Darren and I processed our cancer diagnoses What I’ve learned about the role of belief and mindset in healing Why emotional recovery is just as important as physical recovery How small daily practices like gratitude, meditation, and mindful living can shift everything Whether you’re navigating your own diagnosis, supporting someone you love, or simply looking to live with more peace and purpose—this conversation is for you. ___________________________________________________________________________   📖 Book mentioned: Mind Over Medicine by Dr. Lissa Rankin 📌 Resources & Links: The Blueprint: From Results to Rising – Your step-by-step guide through treatment & life after cancer → [BLUEPRINT] Triple B Protein + Hormone Support → [PROTEIN] Use HELLO10 for $10 off Join Not Today Cancer: The Community → [COMMUNITY] Fiber Gummy – shop.joinmidi.com (Use Code JED for 35% off) AnaOno – Intimates for breast cancer survivors → [ANAONO] My Favorites Guide – jendelvaux.com/jensfavs Daily Brain Boost – shop.joinmidi.com (Use Code JenD for 35% off) Free Download – Cancer-fighting vegan recipes → [RECIPES] Favorite Tea – Pique Tea: piquetea.com RED LIGHT THERAPY - MAT - use discount code: KJD10 Connect on Instagram – instagram.com/jendelvaux Email Me – coachjennyd@gmail.com

In today’s episode, Darren and I open up about some of the most pivotal moments in our health journeys—times when we had to go against medical advice and follow our intuition instead.

This isn’t about ignoring doctors—it’s about remembering you are the expert on your body. You’re allowed to ask questions, get second opinions, and pause when something doesn’t feel right. 💬 “You are in control of your health. You live in your body 24/7. Trust it.” 🔥 In This Episode: Why I stopped Darren’s surgery and how that decision changed everything The time Darren pushed for more testing—when doctors said he was fine What led me to go off an aromatase inhibitor and explore alternatives after an osteoporosis diagnosis The importance of tracking symptoms, hospital behavior, and daily changes When “protocol” doesn’t fit the person—and how to question it respectfully Stories from Lindsay and Jennifer that highlight the power of self-advocacy Why it’s okay to ask, “But does this really make sense for me?
