“Alison Gannett, world-class extreme skier, extreme survivor, extreme thrivor and extreme healer. Or: Got guts?”
In this latest edition of P5 Protocols, I got to interview my favorite type of person, someone who has faced down her biggest devil, embraced it, learned from it, and ultimately benefitted from it. For Alison Gannett, who five years ago faced late stage brain cancer and only had one surgery, to say she, as a survivor, is a statistical anomaly is a gross understatement that would offend most if not all statisticians. But before that, she was a world champion extreme skier and organic farmer among many other endeavors. She is also extremely methodical and science driven in caring for her own body and those of her patients – much more so than most medical doctors, dare I say. While her particular focus is on coaching cancer patients on diet, she works closely with Dr. Nasha Winters, a naturopath and by my definition an integrative oncologist, to track all of your risk factors and eliminate them to increase your odds of surviving and ultimately thriving. And listen to Dr. Winters and Alison Gannett and once again you will hear a lot about mitochondria, a constantly present theme for just about every provider that comes on P5 Protocols. Alison is fearless but as you listen to her, she is quite human and I hope for those facing cancer or similar diseases, you will listen to her as there is not one thing she advises or professes that can hurt you – leading me to ask, as always: why not do it? And with that, here is Alison Gannett.
[00:02:43] [DE] Welcome to the next edition of P5 Protocols. I am very fortunate today to be here with Alison Gannett, who is a former professional athlete and cancer survivor and sounds to me from what I’ve learned of her today a life coach as much as anything, but I’m going to turn it over to you, Alison, because what I love to do in the in the way we approach things here at P5 Pprotocols is to focus on people who have unique, and we hope to be in the future less unique approaches as more people adopt them. But your focus on how your story… first your life, how you got to where you were when you made that big pivot to take care of yourself and where you are today and how you take care of your clients, which I’ll call them patients because you know anyone who’s caring for another I think has that right. With that, Welcome ALLISON Gannett.
[[00:03:47] [AG]: I am excited to be here.
[00:03:54] [DE] And I’d love you to go back through a little bit of your history and tell people about yourself and your story.
[00:04:02] [AG] Well I was born on the East Coast and I was a fat dorky math geek, and I think I overcompensated for the fact that I was really teased as a child because later in life I became an adult onset athlete. I really got into skiing, biking and one day I was spotted by a Warren Miller film crew skiing in Crested Butte, Colorado. And they asked me to be in a movie and I started competing in extreme skiing all over the world. I became the world champion. So that’s the beginning part of my life. And after that I’ve actually just retired from extreme skiing last year. And so I’ve actually been doing that successfully, being paid to ski around the world for twenty years which is pretty awesome. And I actually started having a lot of health problems as a kid, you know kind of born of a mom that was smoking and we kind of ate a lot of processed foods and I always had a lot of ear infections and a lot of antibiotics growing up and then when I got on the extreme skiing circuit it was all about partying drugs and alcohol and traveling like crazy and never sleeping well and that certainly did not help my situation. And one year at the U.S. championships I actually collapsed at the finish line and I actually got diagnosed as having Epstein Barr virus at that point which is now and I would say that was kind of the start of my cancering process based on how old the tumor was when they found it. In 2013 I was diagnosed with terminal malignant brain cancer.
[00:05:48] [AG] And they found a tumor the size of like an orange took up most of my skull. And it’s a miracle I didn’t die from it but here I am today almost five years later and probably the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life.
[00:05:57] [DE] And since 2013. What have you. What’s your story there. I mean that’s a big leap. The two year survival rates from 5 percent. And that even includes people who really found the tumor much earlier than you. So are Leeson’s size right. So so what. What has been your path back to health?
[00:06:42] [AG] Well I think immediately I use the Internet to find out that yes you know my cancer was deadly even if I had surgery, chemo and radiation. They did successfully remove most of the cancer in my brain, but not all of it. And then they were prescribing chemo and radiation and basically the research that I found out showed that the quality of life was very very low and that people lived less than a year with my type of cancer with surgery and radiation so I knew that I didn’t want to live just one year, and I certainly didn’t want to live one year poorly. And, so I started researching around and actually a friend of a friend… I was picking kale; I’m an organic farmer. She said oh well I heard about this amazing doctor, Dr. Nasha Winters you should contact her. And I got in touch with her and she was like: Yeah we look at the root causes of why you got cancer. We systematically you know remove them and it just makes sense to me that my cancer was caused by something and that those things needed to be reversed so that it wouldn’t come back again. So.
[00:08:03] [DE] Maybe tie that into how your practice has evolved and where you are who you work with on the testing and maybe go maybe as good as a jump off point into how you treat your clients or how you take care of your clients and your process for getting people back to health care helping them get themselves back dry.
[00:09:23] [AG] This is all about empowerment and that’s what Dr. Nasha really taught me to do was you know: I test my labs. I had my doctors do a standing orders so that they’re tested every month and I have been testing for almost five years. I test about 60 different labs looking at all aspects of my house. And Dr. Nasha showed me that I’m shooting for optimal ranges of those labs versus just average. She said: You know average can give you cancer and you know we’ve got to look at doing much better than average if you want to reverse your cancer and then keep it from coming back. And you know it sounded awesome and I signed right up; I started tracking my labs and doing what she told me to do and changing my diet. You know I was vegan and vegetarian in my prior life and that certainly had given me cancer so I needed to change that process. She put me on a ketogenic diet that was customized to my labs and to my DNA which I thought was amazing that she could personalize it like that. Also to my tumor pathology and my history and I just couldn’t believe like each lab that I got done every month I saw my body healing. And I saw my liver enzymes I saw my blood sugars dropping and I saw my stress levels dropping. And then about at about five to seven months all the kind of health problems that I had started to reverse themselves. I had had HPV and EBV, mono, both of those disappeared.
[00:10:17] Then my polycystic ovarian disease disappeared, and then breast fibroids that I’ve had almost my whole life that were precancerous disappeared. Then my Hashimoto’s thyroiditis disappeared. Then the arthritis in my knees from jumping off way too many giant cliffs in my life on skis, that arthritis disappeared and my chronic lung infections disappeared. And there was zero signs of cancer in my brain to top it all off, and there haven’t been since then. So I was so blown away at the power, and this is just not food. I mean we’d have to do a whole other episode on all the amazing things that Dr. Nasha does, because the root causes of cancer are… diet is like the first place we start. But you know we also have to look at hormones, stress, blood sugar, immune system, blood circulation, oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA, toxic load and mental emotional well-being; those all factor into it. So diet is not enough. That’s what Dr. Nasha works on what I work on now is she saw that I was so into that she was like: Do you want to train with me for a year to be a ketogenic diet coach. And of course I said hell yeah, sign me up, because I basically wanted to learn more about my own body, and I wanted to understand my labs better. I wanted to understand the DNA better. I wanted to understand how different foods would affect my body, different cancer markers. And so I trained with her for a whole year. Here I am today now helping other people specifically with the diet part. I require that they work with Dr. Nasha for the other root causes of their cancer that I work with.
[00:12:12] I’m looking at their labs looking at their DNA looking at their tumor pathology and looking at their health history and coming up with a customized diet that is just right for their situation because no two people are the same and no two cancers are the same Yes I noticed that she early in her.
[00:12:39] This stage of her career was when I looked at her bio, it talks about psycho neuro immunology and I have been following Candice Pert since the 90s really mid 90s as well.
[00:12:54] So she’s got what seems to be a great book called The Metabolic Approach to Cancer.
[00:13:02] [AG] Yes her book just came out this spring and it’s a game changer for anybody that wants to prevent or conquer cancer.
[00:13:09] [DE] You know I think I think you know my my own pursuit in life is to make sure I have every edge I can get which people are listeners know that I use that term a lot. So I said before we started I’ve actually been looking for Keto coach for a long time and I don’t I don’t have cancer yet. I don’t know when it could come. I know that statistics tell me I should be sooner than others because I first had an insult to my gut 30 years ago. And I actually took apart, my doctor is the head of G.I. at a major medical institutions, and walked her through statistics and what they’re based on and who they’re based on as you mentioned earlier about labs are based on the average of people that aren’t generally healthy. And I guess we’re two thirds of our country is now anywhere from obese to diabetic right now.
[00:14:04] [AG] What does that mean for average for blood sugar. Scary.
[00:14:08] [DE] Yeah I actually a couple years ago got my my vitamin D up to 143 and my G.I. flipped out. It was a don’t you go near anything ever again, anything related to vitamin D
[00:14:30] Dr. Nasha wants you around 100 percent.
[00:14:35] [AG] Yeah.
[00:14:37] [DE] But she wanted me down. I don’t know what’s the normal lab reports dow to, I forget is down around 20 or something much lower.
[00:15:04] [AG] Yeah I mean if you’ve got a vitamin D three of 20, you’re in a very serious situation. No I would say Dr. Nasha always hammers that the number one thing that people can do with their vitamin D is to get their vitamin D up. There’s a lot like the National Institute of Health there’s a bunch of different recommendations some of them varies from 20 to, no not 20, 35 to 55. Some of them go as high as 70. But if people are actively engaged in a cancering process, Dr. Nasha likes to have people higher. But you also have to really watch the number for your calcium level because if you go high with vitamin D3 and this is not vitamin D2 you have to really compensate with a lot of vitamin K2 to pull your calcium level down, because cancer loves calcium and we don’t want to give any cancer process any extra calcium. And it’s interesting you mentioned you don’t have cancer. I think what a lot of people don’t realize is that a normal healthy person; some of the studies are saying now I don’t think we know about it that our bodies make somewhere between 500 and 2000 cancer stem cells from our bone marrow every day.
[00:16:01] [DE] No no I agree with that. I just say clinically diagnosed
[00:16:10] [AG] What we want to do is not have those cancer cells that are floating around and become hooked up to our vascular system and create a tumor. So everybody out there wants to conquer the cancer cells that are floating around in our bloodstream.
[00:16:30] Yep. So OK, so, so I have now met you. Let’s use me as the guinea pig in some way and I am saying to you right now I’d like to be a client. What is the process? I’m going to sign up with you. You are going to want me to have Dr. Winters or someone else like her order tests. What is the process?
[00:16:50] Well if you do have cancer, I’m going to require you sign up with Dr. Nasha firstly send me a confirmation of that appointment, which she’s so busy she’s going to be booked out a little ways, and immediately you can start working with me. And then if you don’t have cancer and that all you need is a guide, guidance from your local doctor, whether it’s a naturopath or a GP or whomever, because health insurance or liability insurance requires that health coaches, nutritionists work with a licensed doctor. So your doctor will either order the labs that I would give you a list of labs that I would suggest you look for preventative reasons. Look at different things in your body, and you can order those through your doctor or if you’re having trouble with a doctors’ resistance or whatever, you can actually go online now and go to walkinlabs.com and order the labs and pay for them yourself and go to your local blood draw and get thoselabs done. Once I see your labs, I’m also going to suggest that you order a DNA test kit from 23 and Me or Ancestry DNA to because those take four to six weeks to come in and then I’m going to ask you to fill out a 35 page form about your health history which is a pain in the butt for you. But it’s really important to look at a person’s monthly health history when you’re deciding like what kind of diet is good for that person. Because it’s really the cross relation of the health history with the labs and the DNA that give me the most complete picture of your current health situation.
[00:18:53] [AG] And then of course, we want to track those labs over time so the first appointment that I’d have with someone like yourself is we would sit down over FaceTime, and we would go over your labs. What’s high, what’s low, what’s medium. How that affects a diet I would prescribe for you and we track… We do screen sharing together on an app called Chronometer.com and chronometer is great because it really tracks macronutrients, micronutrients, and it is very helpful because I can see exactly how your diet’s going; if you tell me you’re not eating any sugar and then I look at your your diet diary online and you just ate 8 cups of broccoli, I’m like look how much sugar is in broccoli; so that’s very helpful and then the second FaceTime appointment we go over your DNA results when they come in and meanwhile you’re emailing back and forth every day you have questions and I answer you
[00:19:48] [DE] And how long the people typically work with you. Is that is it something we’re Migues people have cancer. There Buhr probably a lot of open ended commitments I guess.
[00:19:53] [AG] Well, my goal is really to get people to graduate from working with me and in the same way that Dr. Nasha taught me how to read my labs, read my scans, take care of my own health. I try to teach my clients the same things, so I’m trying to educate you and I give you a lab spreadsheet, but in that lab spreadsheet it says what every lab means if it’s high or low and then eventually it might take a couple months for you to you know, really take charge of that on your own. And maybe you need more guidance maybe you need less. It’s really up to the person. Most people I would say generally work with me for six months and then they decide, I’m sorry, not six months, six weeks. That’s usually how long it takes for the DNA to come back. So we’re emailing back and forth and doing the FaceTimes in that six week period and then at that point a lot of people will follow up with me three months later when they have a new set of labs that come in and maybe they’re not completely savvy on how to use their spreadsheet so they might want to be like Hey this went up but this went down, what does this mean? But eventually you graduate and you’re on your own.
[00:21:24] So people are there. What is the general response on ketogenic diet for people? Are they… I mean I know I’ve been at it for most of two years; I go in and out it; I think I’m fairly adaptive.
[00:21:42] I’ve got a great meter that’s only a buck per each tab and unfortunately drawing a blank
[00:21:55] [AG] Keto Mojo, Keto Mojo has changed my life. It’s phenomenal.
[00:21:59] [DE] And so I’m loving that. And as you know I mentioned to you before we started the podcast three weeks ago I did t just shy of seven day fast and my ketones were sitting at 5. They were right just locked in at 5. Day in, day out and it didn’t go up to seven or 8. It was pretty pretty bizarre. And leading up to it I was keeping them in the 1.5 to 1.8 leading into the fast. But would it maybe explain to a few people who were less familiar with with the ketogenic diet itself. You know why. Why that. The concept of keeping sugar away and how the body can actually benefit not just stop feeding cancer but also give the body a chance to heal. Maybe your the way you view old you view that.
[00:22:56] [AG] Sure, And I also mention that I have this ,Keto Mojo, is such an awesome device that this kid we were just talking about is just such an awesome device and I have a new device right now called Level. Have you heard of that one?
[00:23:04] [DE] Yes they were actually… I was at the Tripping over the Truth Conference.
[00:23:13] [AG] Phenomenal. So that’s a really fun way for me to track my metabolism right to a T and see which foods throw me out of ketosis, so I’m really enjoying playing with that right now. But we were going into… like you were saying is how would someone track… the general overview of the ketogenic diet.
[00:23:36] [AG] Well first of all I’m going to say no two people are alike. So when I look at someone’s labs and I look at their DNA, the ketogenic diet is really amazing for a lot of different diseases but different people are different. So I’m definitely not going into any type of consultation with someone thinking that there’s a certain diet that I believe that they should be on; for some people, the autoimmune protocol is much more needed than a ketogenic protocol and for other people they might need to cycle in and out of the ketogenic diet; some people might need more of a paleo diet; some people might need a low histamine diet; some people might need a low oxalate diet. There’s a lot out there, and so what I have seen personally with the ketogenic diet is you know I did it for because I had terminal malignant brain cancer, which really blew me away is, I mean I don’t know how many health conditions I listed before it’s probably like 10 different health conditions reversed themselves by being on the ketogenic diet. And so basically the long and the short of it is that you are lowering your carbohydrate intake. And this varies by the person by you know how high their sugars are so some people might need 20 grams of carbs; some might need 40, some might need 60, etc. But if you lower the carbohydrate intake and then at the same time you’re increasing your fat intake and it’s a lot higher than most people think. A lot of people think they’re in ketosis when they come to me and maybe even their ketones are high.
[00:25:25] [AG] But the real repair happens at a mitochondrial level and at an inflammation level when the level of the fat gets high enough in proportion to that person’s weight. In the case for me I eat about two cups of fat a day. And when I was on a ketogenic diet and unbeknownst to me I wasn’t eating enough fat, at the beginning at like a half a cup of fat. I didn’t actually see any improvements in my health conditions, and I didn’t see many improvements in my labs. So it really took having the blood sugar come down but also the fat go really high. The next part of the ketogenic diet that I talk about with people is the high nutrition level because a lot of telegenic diets out there are cream cheese, sausage, cheddar cheese, some butter. There’s absolutely no vegetables involved. And so the third leg of my stool so we’ve got low glucose, high fat. The next layer of the stool is that we have high antioxidants and so I’m aiming for somewhere between four and nine cups of vegetables a day for myself and for my clients.
[00:26:42] [AG] And that’s hard to do without having a very good list of what very low carb vegetables actually are. It’s very easy to go over your carb content with vegetables that we think as being really healthy. So there’s a lot of polyphenols and antioxidants and all those you want to eat the rainbow. Lots of different colored vegetables and that again we’re really rebuilding the mitochondria. This is the root of the ketogenic diet is the repair at a cellular level and also the cellular signaling of the mitochondria. And then the result of that is reduced inflammation; I’m simplifying greatly for all you scientists out there. And then the fourth part of this stool is the quality of the food, because I think a lot of people are not paying attention to what their meat ate. If you’re just doing a ketogenic diet, I see this a lot. I’m like kind of the weightlifting ketogenic YouTube shows, where they’re just pounding like Costco bacon, and you know for cancer that’s not going to work out for optimal health and prevention and we’re really looking at the quality of the meats where it’s grass fed, grass finished, and the quality of the vegetables; are they local or are they organic, you know are they fresh. And especially if you can tolerate dairy according to your genetic makeup and also your labs. You know the real quality of dairy coming from A2 cows grass fed, etc..
[00:27:49] [DE] So how did people track this past six weeks? I think I would need your help… We will soon find out, but…
[00:27:55] [AG] Well you know, you’re just starting with the first day. This is like layers of an onion, right. You know great health doesn’t happen overnight. And I used to get really frustrated in the beginning because I was like How can I do all these things that Dr. Nasha wants me to do. Like this is a million things I need to do to change in my life. Well it has to happen baby step by baby step. And so you know the first thing I did was try to cut sugar out of my life. And the second thing I did was you know looking on apps like chronometer.com or my fitness pal and figuring out where all the hidden sugars were. That was kind of my second step because sugars are hidden in absolutely everything. I mean I did not know that one cup of milk had 16 grams of sugar in it. I was blown away. And so then after I kind of got the sugars down and the carbs down, then I was focused on getting the fats up. And then I started really working on nutrition and I would say that actually it took me about two years. And then on the third year in my lab it kept sticking out like a sore thumb that I really needed to work on reducing my stress level. And so I really had high cortisol, high CO2, so I incorporated meditation.
[00:29:02] [AG] I also in the first few years really had to focus on changing my exercise away from chronic cardio, because my inflammation numbers kept going up every time I went back to my normal exercise routines. So now I do a lot more like high intensity interval training. I really like to just go out and play and I do try to keep my heart rate below 100. You know because that’s I’m in a person who’s fighting an active cancering process, but every person is different like I see people that are able to exercise and keep their inflammation low. It really depends on the person.
[00:30:46] So you’re you’re now you know three years, even three years past even the best case scenario you so why you just refer to it as an active cancering process.
[00:30:57] [AG] Well because as I mentioned before every single day, you know I I and every person in the universe, supposedly, scientists don’t know, but produce 500 to 2000 new cancer cells. So I kind of think of those cancer cells like Pac Men in my body just waiting for opportunity. And I don’t want those little Pac menn inside my body to have any sugar, because this is a very key point of the ketogenic diet is that if you put cancer cells, and there’s great TED talks on this, put cancer cells in a petri dish. Cancer cells thrive and multiply and grow on glucose as their food source, but actually their favorite food source is Fructose. And I was a real fruit lover. I really didn’t know that fruit fed cancer so well, and so if you give those cancer cells in a petri dish and alternate fuel source such as fatty, essential fatty acids which are ketone bodies, they actually wither, get sick, die, struggle. So I’m kind of always thinking of those TED talks and those petri dishes every time I put something in my mouth. Food is medicine; it’s the way I think of it.
[00:32:32] That’s awesome. So I hear a little bit echo but it’s going away. So what else do you recommend for your patients? Because what I’d like to do is, you know probably crazy to put this on air but start working with you and report back, and maybe we could do in a few months a follow depending on how much I want to share with the world. But I think that this is very interesting and you know I am going to be come a patient or client, sorry. And and I’d love to do a follow up with you regardless of, regardless of me in several months. But it is a great start and it sounds like what I’m going to do is on the transcript page, I will link to your Web site, a link to materials and should people want to learn more or become a client. We’ll have full access to that. And you and I can talk off line and you give me more than anything else you want me to include.
[00:33:45] [AG] We really need to start a training program to get other people doing what I do because I am swans and you know me and I can brainstorm. How to make this more accessible and more people that want to prevent cancer because there’s just not enough information out there and there’s not enough keto coaches that are using labs and DNA and history into their pathology. And this really has to get out to be a lot more accessible to people, so say Joe Schmoe goes to the health fair, gets their health care results back. What can they do with those results right now to see like how healthy they are right now. Not much of anything. And you know that’s got to change eventually.
[00:32:06] [DE] Yeah, I actually say it is a question we’re going to have as part of her first newsletter which which is actually starting this Friday. We’re going to have questions we would love to have answered as one of ours and one is why do so many intelligent people who analyze every last bit of their lives, when they get sick, completely turn over their life and get infinitely less analytical and open-minded to solutions to alternative solutions when they get sick. And it’s it’s amazing to me with with modern technology and modern knowledge and everything at your fingertips that people still kind of bow to the gods out of fear.
[00:35:41] [AG] Yeah. It’s scary, When I got that terminal diagnosis, you know, I was petrified. And you know crying all the time like I felt really really powerless. And when you feel really powerless and you don’t know why you say you know there there aren’t a lot of alternatives out there. And if I hadn’t found Dr. Nasha, I can guarantee I would not be here today, and one of the reasons I put my labs, you know I basically put them on my web site. You know, I present my labs at health conferences and cancer conferences to physicians and nurses and oncologists and neurologists; you name it; is to show them what’s possible. And you know I’m not ashamed about showing my labs to the world because you know it’s just information; you know if my blood sugar goes up. I had a really bad period two years ago where my blood sugar kept going up, and it was completely related to chronic stress. And so that was a great piece of information for me because when stress goes up or stress response goes up, your cortisol production is going to go up and when cortisol actually goes up your insulin is going to go up. And when insulin goes up then your HbA1C is going to go up, in general. So you know here I was eating 20 grams of carbs a day, and I was having my hemoglobin A1C going up and up and up every month.
[00:37:17] [AG] So I love putting these puzzles together and figuring out what is causing what and thanks to Dr. Nasha teaching me and the research that I do every day, and there’s so much coming out on the Internet right now, especially DNA related. You know I really have been diving into DNA in the past year, and it really changes what people can eat and what they can’t eat, and what they need to supplement for and what they don’t need to supplement for.
[00:37:46] [DE] For Yeah. No I I I definitely get that. You know we went online I have the added benefit of having a lot of caffeine in a day.
[00:38:02] So jealous is one of my favorites is coffee. You know I had to give it up because I have that you know gene that does not process caffeine really well. It was interesting I had this strange thing going on. Every time I had decaf I had a really bad reaction and it took me almost five years, no four and a half years of trial and error with my labs to finally figure out what it was and you’re never going to guess what it was. But you can try. [DE: outside of mold…] and that’s a good guess because a lot of that, a lot of coffee is moldy. So that is an excellent guess. What it actually does is for some reason when I drank coffee and I don’t know why, I haven’t been able to find any research that supports this. I had a latent Epstein Barr Virus, the mono that I got way back when in my U.S. national skiing championships that would be triggered by coffee and not tea. Nothing else but coffee, and so I started a protocol with high dose vitamin A and monolauren and monoauren is an extract of coconut that we use a lot for antivirals for things like Epstein Bar and HPV and it’s amazing when I when I take that vitamin A and the monolauren. After about a month, voila my white blood cells recovered, my platelets went down, and I can drink coffee; really cool. It’s taken me five years to figure it
[00:39:47] [DE] Well, I love the experimentation and hopefully we can get all that into artificial intelligence where all these things can be run quickly without, you know, people can figure this out a lot faster.
[00:40:00] [AG] You know ideally we would have babies be born, we would run these labs, we would start these spreadsheets, we would get their DNA tested and then we would have healthy people from birth. But the flip side of that is also you, take someone that was really on the outside really looks like you know the perfect healthy person. I was an organic farmer. I was you know a world champion skier. I exercised every day I thought I ate perfectly and wham you know terminal cancer diagnosis, so nearly all the USDA regulation you know suggestions of what I should be eating every day and was following all those; I took a nutrition class in college. And you know my five servings of whole grains and four or five servings of fruits. Yeah I was doing all that. But I really think you know, even someone who was as sick as myself, sent home to pasture, you can see absolutely mindblowing results in labs, and you see them in one month and you see them again in three months. Wow. You know miracles start happening in six months and nine months and 12 months and 18 months and… As you see your health improving it’s pretty hard not to stay motivated.
[00:41:27] [DE] That’s awesome. That’s fantastic. I appreciate you’re coming on today.

Conclusion: I hope you listened to what this amazing woman has achieved and what she is offering to do to help her clients. Her energy and her experience is invaluable. I did some digging and while statistics vary, people with her tumor type who have only one resection as Alison did have a median survival of 6.8 months. Five year survival rates for people in the 36 to 50 year old age group have five year survival rates somewhere around 10% but most of those statistics are muddied by a host of factors. Alison is, however, just one part of the equation with Dr. Nasha Winters or other integrative oncologists being an extremely important part – looking at the whole body and taking away that which harms and adding back that which helps reset the body, regenerate the healthy cells and dramatically improve healthspan and lifespan. For those who are listening, our show notes have the relevant links and we will keep adding over time. She is about five years past diagnosis and way past that time frame as far as her having brain cancer and stronger than ever. I do not believe she is physical anomaly, but rather, unfortunately, a social anomaly… That is it for many, but never all: taking your life into your own hands and finding the right team to help you find and walk down your path back to help.
