Episode 45: Cancer, Mushrooms + Seaweed

by Simply Seasonal

Recipe: Mushroom Stroganoff

Life happens and we’re constantly and rapidly producing new cells…

Like 2 MILLLION per second- go us!

In our modern world, we’re flooded with toxins, stress, exhaustion, and normal every day metabolic waste.

Cancer (abnormal division of cells with no apoptosis) has been in our world for a long time, but never to the degree and frequency we are seeing today. 

If we aren’t minimizing our exposure to these toxins, lowering stress, bringing in yin restorative practices, and nourishing our bodies with healing foods, this toxicity sabotages our healthy cells (aka free radicals) and can mess with the cell’s DNA so it does not go through apoptosis (cell death).

But don’t fret!

We’re equipped to clear these abnormal cells…. IF we give ourselves the proper nutritional and emotional support.

By clearing stuck energy (physically + emotionally), supporting detoxification organs, and replenishing the body with cancer healing foods, we can clear cancer out of the body and simultaneously repair damage. This way it won’t turn into a cancer diagnosis down the line.

So bottom line is: we’re supporting and healing our bodies from cancer all the time… THIS IS PREVENTION!

If you’ve been diagnosed in the past or are going through treatment now… we have some amazing foods and advice to help you!
