🍵 Here’s your ANTICANCER MOTIVATION for havin

IVC is another piece of #integrativeoncology cance

IVC is another piece of #integrativeoncology cancer care that’s personalized for your case and has a plethora of supportive benefits!

Intravenous vitamin 🍊 c is given in the vein to reach higher therapeutic levels in the blood, without having to pass through the digestive system.

You are able to get better therapeutic support from the IV than orally with Vit 🍊 C.

•It supports the immune system
•It reduces cellular inflammation
•It decreases unpleasant side effects of various drugs or diseases
•It May reduce physical pain from cancer
•It helps support physical wound healing as it is a cofactor to collagen
•It has potentially important anti-tumor activity & is preferably toxic to tumor cells
•It may help inhibit angiogenesis
•It improves quality of life in patients

Those are enough characteristics for me to be a big fan! I’m such a fan of how it’s helped me over since my diagnosis in late 2017 that I’ve literally had HUNDREDS of IVCs at @riordanclinic & love my healing fam there.

What QUESTIONS do you have about IVCs?

If you’ve had IV🍊C therapy, what are the benefits you’ve experienced YOU’D like the WORLD to KNOW? ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Please share below so other #cancerpatients can learn about it.

🌟 Harnessing the POWER of YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS

🌟 Harnessing the POWER of YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS in Your Cancer Journey 🌟

Hey fellow cancer thrivers! Let’s talk about something crucial: your MEDICAL RECORDS. 📑✨

Here’s Why It Can Matter to Have a COPY of YOUR OWN RECORDS

1. EMPOWERMENT: Your records hold vital info about your specific case which can HELP YOU to make INFORMED DECISIONS about your care.

2. CONTINUITY OF CARE: We get to BUILD our OWN CARE TEAM. And that means bringing in pracitioners that may be in different clinics/different parts of the country/world. Having your copy of your records means you can get them to your new team member quickly.

3. ADVOCACY: Understanding your case helps you ADVOCATE CONFIDENTLY for YOUR NEEDS. Being able to see the numbers, the test results, the exact names of things can bring clarity to know what you need to ask for, or ask about, or potentially even deny whether temporarily or indefinitely.

TIPS for GETTING YOUR RECORDS

🔍 START BEFORE YOU NEED IT: Ask the front desk, “What is the process for getting a copy of my pathology/scan report/lab results?” Follow their process and Request the records when #you are being tested or when you are finishing up that day at the clinic. If you are seeking older records, call with specific request in mind (do you have a certain month/year and/or name of records/results you are looking for?)

📞 FOLLOW UP: It’s okay to CALL and ask when you can expect to get a copy of your report. Be kind. Gather the info & then if you are picking up records in person, call the day you are planning to go to CONFIRM they are READY for you.

📝 KEEP A BINDER: Put all of your records together im ONE BINDER or FOLDER so you know everything is in one place. (I have other posts that show my mega binder.) I organize my binder by TYPE of RECORD, then CHRONOLOGY.

➡️ Your medical records are more than just documents; they can be a guiding light on your healing journey. Don’t be afraid to ask for your own copy!

Well…it’s World Cancer Day. Who woulda thought

Well…it’s World Cancer Day. Who woulda thought we’d be in this cancer club?! Not me! (Thanks Paul Rudd for your comedy bits.)

Many of us on this health journey with a cancer diagnosis know about the gaps in cancer care, education, and the resources it takes to support our healing & recurrence risk reduction practices.

There are a variety of gaps like these throughout the world. Thinking about it on a global scale can feel daunting & out of one’s hands as we bring awareness to “Close the Gap” (this year’s World Cancer Day theme).

The GOOD NEWS is that there are things we as individuals can do in our own lives by spreading the word on the things that matter most to you:
-if you are like me & think anticancer NUTRITION is important, then we share about those things & be intentional about choosing our GOOD NOURISHMENT to FUEL our cells.

-if you think early DETECTION is key, then share what types of detection you’ve found work best for your case & how it might help others (I’m a fan of looking at a body of results and seeing the overall trend, not just one single source for those of us living with cancer & making decisions every season on our cancer journey & yes I mean specific scans, bloodwork, etc.)

-if you think INTEGRATIVE CARE to help SUPPORT the whole person & whole body is best for THRIVING 💪, then share about some of your FAV WAYS to do that in your case (I have lots of tips & resources right here on my IG on integrative care if you need to know about that type of care).

We might not feel like we can #closethegap of disparities all across the globe, but we can help share the insights we’ve gleaned on our own cancer journeys and make a positive difference in our own circles. 🤍

And P.S. even if you don’t publicly share your story (which is totally okay & your own choice), feel free to share mine if there’s someone you think it can help.

🤍 The cancer journey definitely has its ups & downs.

🎪 Sometimes it can feel like an entire circus to be the ringmaster of.

🫠 It can be so tiring.

🌈 There is still HOPE. And hope is a drug in itself!

❤️ I don’t know who needs to see this, but don’t give up. Not today.

Your treatment path is a personal choice, shaped b

Your treatment path is a personal choice, shaped by your unique biology, environment, and needs. In a sea of opinions, remember, you’re the one who has to live fully in your body. You get to be the captain navigating the waves of your cancer journey.

➡️ Your well-being, your rules.

Others may offer advice, but they don’t reside in your body or feel the pulse of your experience. Trust your instincts, notice the wisdom of your body, explore options, and craft a plan that resonates with what brings you peace.

It’s not about others’ judgments; it’s about your path to thriving. 🌱💪 Embrace your power!

💪What to do ⬇️ 🌿 Amidst all the newspape

💪What to do ⬇️ 🌿 Amidst all the newspaper clippings about the rise in cancer in younger Americans, here’s the good news: YOU have the power to make a positive change for yourself. Don’t let inaction be your worst enemy.

YOU are the CEO of your own HEALTH.

Here are some ways* to reduce your toxic burden and support your body’s detox pathways:
-be intentional about the things you put on you, in you, and around you
-ditch the fragranced items that are all around the household (trash bags, laundry detergent, hair products, personal hygiene items,air fresheners, scented cleaning products, anything with the word “perfume” or “parfume” on it)
-store your food/drinks in glass or stainless steel containers, not plastic
-do not reheat your food in a plastic container
-choose organic whole food when possible
-limit exposures to things that cause your blood sugar to spike

-support your liver by drinking dandelion tea, or lemon water, or adding beets into your day (I use a beet powder and make a warm elixir to drink)
-eat cruciferous veggies (broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, sprouts, etc.)
-sweat regularly
-poop everyday
-breathe deeply
-dry brush / massage your lymphatic system
-gently bounce on a mini trampoline (rebounding)

Small steps can lead to bigger transformations! What’s YOUR FAV to do or what do YOU find EASIEST to do most often?
