In this inspiring conversation, Life-Changing Challengers host Brad Minus sits down with author, holistic nutritionist, and cancer coach Shruti Sethi. Together they trace Shruti’s journey from a vibrant childhood in India and a thriving fashion-design career in Mumbai to a devastating Stage III Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosis at age 34—and the radical lifestyle, mindset, and nutrition shifts that helped her beat the odds and stay cancer-free for eight years. Listeners will hear actionable insights on whole-food, plant-based eating, breath-work, forgiveness, energy psychology, and the power of choosing happiness, plus how Shruti now guides others on their own healing paths.
