So you’ve had cancer and now you’re wondering what comes next. Maybe you just finished treatment and feel overwhelmed trying to put the pieces of your life back together. Maybe you’re terrified of a recurrence and can’t stop worrying about every ache and pain. Or maybe you carry a cancer gene and are ready to do everything you can to prevent cancer in the first place. You want to heal your body, lose the treatment weight, rebuild your energy, and finally feel like yourself again, but you don’t know where to start. I’m Michelle, an 8-year Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor, mom, and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. I’ve been where you are, and on this podcast we’ll walk through it together. Here we talk about the real tools that help you detox and heal without the hype. We’ll cover everything from everyday ways to lower your toxin load to the top anti-cancer foods, how to rebuild your immune system, balance your hormones, and calm the fear of recurrence. You’ll also learn how to create a low-toxin home, what should be on your plate every day, and the surprising everyday things that can raise cancer risk. If you’re ready to rise from the ashes and build a body and a life you can trust, you’re in the right place. This is about more than surviving cancer. It’s about creating the healthiest, strongest version of you.

8: The Mindset That Gets You Through Cancer | Tonya Agostino

Share this episode with someone you know who's been touched by cancer.

What if the moment that nearly broke you was actually the thing trying to wake you up?

In this episode, I sit down with Tonya Agostino, the founder of Unstoppable Joy and a survivor of triple-negative breast cancer. Her background in legal work and running a restaurant shaped the way she rebuilt her life after hearing the words no one wants to hear. She speaks openly about the moments that nearly took her out and the unexpected turning point that shifted everything.

The conversation digs into what it’s like when your world becomes appointments, tests, fear, and survival, and why the real battle often starts long before treatment does. Choices get murky when you’re sick, scared, and exhausted, and clarity doesn’t come easy when you’re stuck in fight-or-flight. There’s a way through, but it’s usually not the one you think it is.

Sometimes… the smartest move is giving your body what it already needs.
