12: The Cancer Recovery Cake: Foundations First, Sprinkles Last

What does baking a cake have to do with cancer prevention? More than you might think! In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast , I’m guiding you through the 3 key layers of a truly effective post-cancer care plan—foundations, personalization, and targeted tools—using one sweet (and surprisingly accurate) analogy. ⚠️ This is a must-listen if: • You’re feeling overwhelmed by all the things you “should” be doing after cancer • You’ve tried supplements or diets but still feel like something’s missing • You want to stop guessing and start focusing on what really helps 🎂 In this episode, you’ll learn: The Cake Batter (Foundations) – These are your 6 evidence-based pillars: Nutrition, Mindset, Movement, Environment, Digestion/Detoxification, and Epigenetics. When done consistently, they form the base of your healing. The Icing (Personal Interventions) – Think targeted nutrition and supplements based on your genetics, labs, symptoms, and personal history. The Sprinkles (Anti-Cancer Supplements) – These might sound exciting, but without the cake and icing, they’re just…well, sprinkles. 🍽️ Bonus: We’ll break down the difference between “cake batter nutrition” (general research-backed guidelines) vs. “icing nutrition” (personalized adjustments for things like cholesterol, iron, or insulin). 💡 You’ll leave this episode with: • A simple framework to prioritize what’s most important for your health • Clarity on why some tools haven’t worked for you in the past • A sweet dose of perspective to help you build a plan that actually sticks 📚 Remember: you don’t need more —you need the right ingredients, in the right order, to help your body heal and stay strong.
