Send us a text (https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/tex...) This week I'm joined by Kirsten Chick, nutritional therapist, researcher and author of Nutrition Brought to Life.  We had an open, honest, and uplifting conversation about what it really means to be healthy in 2026. You’re going to get so much from this episode - Kirsten’s deep understanding of health is both inspiring and practical, and it will genuinely motivate you to eat better and take care of yourself. Kirsten shares her personal cancer journey, the emotional impact of diagnosis, and how food became a powerful source of support during treatment and recovery. We also explore the growing research around functional foods, particularly mushrooms - and how they may support the body during cancer treatment and help reduce future risk. This episode is for anyone who has had a cancer diagnosis, is currently navigating treatment, supporting a loved one, or simply wants to understand how everyday food choices can support long-term health, as well as tips on reducing your risk of a cancer.  We dive into: • How food can support recovery and resilience during and after cancer • Living in a toxic world and practical ways to nurture your body • The role of medicinal mushrooms (Reishi, Chaga, Shiitake, Lion’s Mane) in immune support, blood sugar balance, and gut health • Tips for building metabolic and immune resilience through whole foods Kirsten also highlights trusted mushroom brands like Hifas da Terra and Bristol Fungarium, and shares insights from her book Nutrition Brought to Life. This episode is perfect for anyone interested in holistic cancer support, functional nutrition, and using food as medicine.
