Episode 237- What If Cancer Is a Metabolic Disease? My Mom’s Story & the Power of Light

We’ve been told cancer is genetic… or just bad luck. But what if that’s not the whole story?

In this deeply personal and eye-opening episode, I share the journey of my mom—a nurse, a night-shift worker, and a fighter who passed away just 7 months after her pancreatic and liver cancer diagnosis. For well over a decade, she was told to "watch" elevated liver enzymes while living in a circadian storm of artificial light, disrupted sleep, and minimal sun exposure.

Her story—combined with the latest research—is a powerful case study for rethinking cancer as a metabolic disease rooted in mitochondrial dysfunction, circadian disruption, and environmental chaos.

Inside this episode:

Why blue light and lack of infrared may be more dangerous than we think

How 90% of melatonin is made inside your cells—and why that matters

The truth about seed oils, vitamin D, and sun exposure

The lifestyle “storm” that quietly builds cancer risk

What you can do NOW to reset your light, rhythm, and repair systems
