Martha Tettenborn, RD shares her inspiring story of surviving and thriving through cancer and chemo treatments! It is no secret that cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow without a steady supply of glucose. But when you’re diagnosed, nutrition recommendations often result in increased blood sugars, the essential food that cancer cells need to thrive. In her book Hacking Chemo, Registered Dietitian and cancer survivor @marthatettenborn offers a new way of treating cancer with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. As Martha says, change how you fuel your body, add in a "take control" attitude, and you’ll have nontoxic but tough tools to power your way back to health. Don’t feed cancer, hack it! I learned a ton in this empowering interview, and I know you will too!

Sarah Kleiner is a coach in applied quantum biology and a circadian health expert. Sarah tried nearly every diet, from vegan and vegetarian to carnivore and beyond until finally understanding the root cause of her chronic inflammation and infertility. She used a combination of lifestyle and therapeutic interventions including healing from low leptin levels, watching the sunrise and being outside as much as possible, blocking artificial light, eating seasonally, and so much more, to accomplish optimal health. It was such a joy to pick Sarah’s brain on leptin resistance- what it is, how to test for it, and the role it plays in weight loss resistance. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: [6:40]- How the carnivore diet temporarily healed Sarah’s inflammation until she learned how to heal the root cause of her symptoms. [19:12]- What is leptin resistance?
