What if the thing destroying your hormones isn't your diet, your stress, or even your age?



This episode is all about hormones and the top 10 deal breakers for good hormonal health. My guest, Robin Nielsen, is a board-certified integrative nutritionist specializing in women's health and hormone balance. She's the founder and CEO of Natural Hormone Solution and has helped over 100,000 women worldwide. Robin has interviewed over 200 leading healthcare experts, served as president of both the National Association of Women Business Owners and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, and been featured on CBS's Eye on the Bay for her transformative women's retreats.

Most of us test the wrong hormones at the wrong times and miss what's really running the show. Robin breaks down the two major hormones that control everything else and why your body might be stuck in fight or flight. She shares the root causes that are stealing your energy, your sleep, and your metabolism, plus the one practice that finally let her release decades of repressed emotion without rehashing her entire past.

What if your first meal could quietly tip the scales away from cancer?

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a simple breakfast that helps lower inflammation while keeping blood sugar steady? Good news. There is! It's the same combination of real, unprocessed ingredients I've eaten for years because it helped me rebuild my body and support remission. Instead of chasing trends, I lean on what the research shows actually protects my cells.

Most people start the day with something fast that secretly spikes blood sugar, stirs up inflammation, and leaves hormones scrambling to keep up. This episode zooms in on how a different kind of breakfast can signal safety, calm your stress response, and feed the systems that keep cell damage in check without relying on anything ultra-processed. Pairing certain nutrients together turns one ordinary meal into a daily prevention strategy instead of just another rush-through-it bite.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[02:32] Why breakfast becomes a daily opportunity for cancer prevention

[03:46] The nutrient-dense power of pasture-raised eggs

[04:36] How wild-caught salmon transforms the inflammatory environment around your cells

[05:22] What my daily ‘secret weapon’ is

[06:58] The gut-healing impact of coconut kefir paired with antioxidant-rich fruits

[07:22] The cellular benefits of berries, pomegranates, and kiwi

[08:34] How this breakfast stabilizes blood sugar, lowers inflammation, and fuels detox pathways

What if the thing you put on your plate today could change the entire environment inside your body?

Food carries so much power in shaping what your body can and can’t do, and the best part is—it’s all in your control. After cancer, I realized my doctors weren’t guiding me on how to support myself through nutrition, so I had to figure it out on my own. That journey taught me that food isn’t just fuel. It’s information that influences how your body repairs, protects, and responds to stress. It’s what your new cells are created from. You are what you eat.

The real issue is how easy it is to forget what real food actually does when the world is filled with enticing, processed distractions. Small shifts can completely change the terrain your cells live in, and it doesn’t need to be over complicated. Simply adding in specific foods does a world of good for your body, even if you don’t change anything else.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[01:35] The real reason understanding your "why" changes your choices

[02:51] What makes broccoli sprouts uniquely powerful

[03:47] How green tea compounds influence cancer cell behavior

[05:00] What happens when garlic is crushed and left to rest before cooking

[05:26] The surprising impact of berries on tumor growth

[06:37] 2 specific ingredients that boost turmeric beneficial effects

[07:05] How medicinal mushrooms support immune surveillance

[08:04] Why leafy greens play a role in recurrence risk

[09:09] What makes cooked tomatoes especially effective

[09:51] How flax and basil seeds influence hormone balance

[10:35] Why cruciferous vegetables support detox and cell regulation

What if the moment that nearly broke you was actually the thing trying to wake you up?

In this episode, I sit down with Tonya Agostino, the founder of Unstoppable Joy and a survivor of triple-negative breast cancer. Her background in legal work and running a restaurant shaped the way she rebuilt her life after hearing the words no one wants to hear. She speaks openly about the moments that nearly took her out and the unexpected turning point that shifted everything.

The conversation digs into what it’s like when your world becomes appointments, tests, fear, and survival, and why the real battle often starts long before treatment does. Choices get murky when you’re sick, scared, and exhausted, and clarity doesn’t come easy when you’re stuck in fight-or-flight. There’s a way through, but it’s usually not the one you think it is.

Sometimes… the smartest move is giving your body what it already needs.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00:00] Introduction

[00:06:48] Cortisol levels can reveal underlying issues when doctors miss symptoms

[00:14:38] Why fight-or-flight mode blocks healing during treatment

[00:15:08] Why survivors need more support after ringing the bell

[00:17:44] The heartbreaking choice to stop chemo due to trauma

[00:24:27] What happened during a four-hour sound therapy session

[00:36:14] How a doctor's words during diagnosis can be life or death

[00:48:18] The surprising lack of a healing roadmap after treatment ends

[01:22:56] Why cancer can be the life-altering jolt toward your true path

Nobody tells you what happens after the cancer bell rings.

In this episode, I’m sharing what I wish someone had told me about life after cancer, the messy middle between being declared “cancer-free” and actually feeling alive again. As an eight-year non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma survivor, a mom, and an integrative nutrition health coach, I’ve lived through the part that no one prepares you for: rebuilding your body, calming your nervous system, and learning how to trust life again.

The truth is, healing doesn’t end when treatment does. It’s when the real work begins, navigating the anxiety, the grief, and the strange quiet that follows survival. There’s no roadmap for this part, but there should be. And you’ll see why real recovery starts long after the scans come back clear.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction

[03:36] Why there’s little to no aftercare after cancer, and what survivors really need

[07:05] The truth about nutrition after treatment and how food can rebuild your cells

[09:18] How to know if you’re stuck in fight-or-flight mode and what helps you shift out

[15:44] Why emotions hit harder years after treatment ends, and how to process them safely

[20:17] The healing tools that make emotional recovery possible, from therapy to journaling

[24:43] What “scanxiety” really is and how to manage the physical and emotional triggers

[28:54] The mindset shift that rewires fear into hope before every scan

[29:48] Why healing after cancer isn’t linear, and how to stay resilient through setbacks
