Show Notes Chapter Markers

Heather Dahm has been working to manage active cancer in her body for the past 13.5 years; and acutely for the past 5 after having progression to her lungs, which left her with an end-stage cancer diagnosis. In this episode, Heather and I discuss her terrain-based approach to healing, through incorporating a keto-tarian diet, cold exposure, emotional healing, cycling, supplements, and much more.

What you'll learn in this episode:

  • The natural strategies that Heather actively incorporates to manage her cancer, including a plant-based ketogenic diet
  • How our thoughts affect our biochemistry
  • How fasting may reduce glucose levels in the blood, making it harder for cancers to grow
  • & Much more!
