Why do most doctors have minimal nutrition experience? The minimum number of servings of fruits and vegetables you should eat in a day to help prevent cancer.

Dr. Dominic Brandy is a practicing medical doctor for 42 years running a plastic surgery/ medspa/anti-aging practice during that time. He has published 76 scientific peer-reviewed articles and 9 textbook chapters in the medical literature; written many consumer articles; and given over 200 lectures at international medical meetings.

"We all know we are going to die, but when it's right there in front of your face, it's a lot different." Dr. Brandy had one advantage over the rest of us. Medical school and a lifelong history of reading and studying about diet, exercise, and supplements and their relationship to good health. "Natural Insights into Cancer" is Dr. Brandy's ongoing project to share with you what he has learned through scouring the medical literature about what can be done naturally to fight this dreaded disease. Because Dr. Brandy had directed The Skin Center's anti-aging division for the past 25 years, he already had a solid foundation of knowledge about health and nutrition before his diagnosis.

Today, Cheryl Meyer joins us to share her inspiring journey of overcoming chronic autoimmune disease. Cheryl was a successful solopreneur – and like many of us, neglected her health due to her busy lifestyle, which eventually took a toll on her body. After extensive research and significant lifestyle changes, she was able to ditch the pain and return to a balanced and healthy life. And today, she is here to help you start to find your missing puzzle pieces and begin to adopt a healthier lifestyle. In this episode, you will hear: ● Why you should also stop eating CRAP (carbonated, refined, artificial, and processed) food. ● How dieting and changing your diet are two different things. ● Eating from the rainbow from the Farm-acy. ● Your pets are also affected by the toxins in your house, not just you. ● What functional medicine is and what you should look for in a functional medicine practitioner. ● Why the SAD (Standard American Diet) is sad for your body. ● Changing the social mindsets around land use and growing food. Ten years ago, I was a solopreneur when I woke up one morning and couldn't get out of bed because of pain in my joints and my muscles. My conventional doctor ran many tests but had no clue what was wrong with me. She believed that there was NOTHING wrong with me and that I should seek mental therapy. I was working 24/7, not practicing any kind of self-care. I was eating on the fly and eating as fast as I was working. My diet was processed food of all kinds and it was making me sick. I had an autoimmune disease. My stress was so out of control that my cortisol was almost to Addison's disease. Something had to change, I couldn't function. I researched, changed my lifestyle and eating habits, and ditched my pain of autoimmune disease. I lost 65 pounds without dieting, but by allowing my body to return to balance by eating the rainbow of organic whole foods. I work with clients with chronic illnesses to help them return to balance and wellness. My superpower is helping others find the puzzle pieces for wellness that they can control for themselves. Eating the rainbow, and adopting my 22 pillars of health, I no longer have pain from my autoimmune disease, and I feel great. I want others to enjoy feeling great as well. I have books, classes, podcasts, cookbooks, and coaching available to support this process. My magazine on health is due out at the end of May. It Feels Good to Feel Good Magazine, Inspiration for a Healthier Life My superpower is finding holistic solutions for missing puzzle pieces to wellness. The magazine will be a roadmap for the many different avenues to health. Nothing is Impossible. Embrace the possible. Health is a journey, it is not a destination.
