BFF (Best Foods Forever) 👯‍♂️are a big part of my Survivor To Thriver Roadmap, program for cancer survivors to transform into thrivers. 💪

Kimchi is always on my BFF list. This study confirms its potent immune supporting and anti cancerous properties. 💚

In this study, kimchi enhanced immune system’s ability to recognize threats and mount an appropriate response. 💪. This is important because we want our immune system to detect things like cancer cells and pathogens, but without overacting with excessive systemic inflammation. 🔥 Kimchi does just that: effective immune response, but not too much!

Fermented foods nourish our gut microbiome. Most of our immune system is in the gut.

What we eat influences how we heal and function. 🌱

If spicy kimchi isn’t your thing, other fermented foods include sauerkraut, kefir, unsweetened yogurt, miso, and traditionally fermented pickles.

Question for you: Do you include fermented foods in your routine? What’s your favourite BFF?👇

Kimchi, a traditional Korean fermented food, is recognized for its metabolic benefits; however, its effects on human immune function remain poorly defined. In this study, we performed single-cell RNA-seq on peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 13 overweight adults using a paired pre/post design i...

🦷 Is your mouthwash secretly affecting your blood pressure?

We’ve been taught that killing bacteria equals better oral health — research proves that to be wrong!

Your mouth contains beneficial bacteria that help produce nitric oxide, a molecule essential for relaxing blood vessels and maintaining healthy blood pressure.

Many antiseptic mouthwashes act like antibiotics. They don’t just kill “bad” bacteria — they also wipe out helpful microbes, disrupting the oral microbiome and reducing nitric oxide production.

The result? Regular use of antiseptic mouthwash contributes to higher blood pressure and sets the stage for chronic disease such as heart disease, cancer, and much more!

✅ Healthy alternatives:
• Salt water rinses
• Oil pulling with coconut oil
• Alcohol-free, microbiome-friendly rinses
• Eating nitrate-rich vegetables (beets, leafy greens)

Oral health isn’t about sterilizing — it’s about balance.

Support your microbiome, and you support your whole body. 🌿

🌿Fasting reduces side effects and increases efficacy of conventional cancer therapy: chemotherapy, radiation, surgery.🌿

Metabolic shifts during fasting — including lower glucose and insulin levels and activation of cellular repair pathways — makes cancer cells more vulnerable and support treatment effectiveness while protecting normal cells through mechanisms like autophagy and stress resistance pathways.

Here’s what science demonstrates:

🔥 Benefits
• Fasting reduces insulin and growth-factor signals that support cancer cells.
• Fasting lowers markers of DNA damage and reduces neutropenia and neuropathy
• Fasting enhances immune responses and therapeutic sensitivity to chemotherapy or radiation

💡 Important Note
Fasting during cancer treatment should not be done alone. Safety varies by cancer type, treatment plan, nutrition status, and individual medical history.

🤝 You Deserve Support That Matches the Science

Emerging evidence suggests that fasting could play a key role in cancer treatment by fostering conditions that limit cancer cells' adaptability, survival, and growth. Fasting could increase the effectiveness of cancer treatments and limit adverse events. Yet, we lack an integrated mechanistic model....

We’ll talk about:
• Which supplements are truly necessary
• Which ones are often not needed
• Food-based alternatives to supplements
• How to choose trusted, high-quality brands
• How and when to take supplements for best absorption
• How to avoid wasting money while still supporting your health

A recent study found that when women with breast cancer combined vitamin D with chemotherapy they had a “pathological complete response”(pCR) of 43%, versus women taking placebo had only 24% (p = 0.04). And a logistic regression found that women whose vit D levels were ≥20ng/mL were more likely to achieve pCR (OR 3.65, p = 0.04) - that is, they were 3.65 times more likely to have a pCR.

Importantly, both the vitamin D and the placebo group had vitamin D deficiency at the start of the trial.

Melatonin, known as the sleep hormone but its benefits don’t stop there.

Melatonin has impressive efficacy and safety for the prevention and treatment of cancers.”

I take 25-30mg every night to support detoxification, immune system, and cellular clean up.
