In this episode of the Plant Based News Podcast, we’re diving into three of the biggest conversations happening in the plant-based world right now.
First, we explore the science of fasting and how one patient reversed lymphoma through a whole food plant-based diet and stayed cancer-free for over a decade.
Then we tackle the heated debate over protein, with Stanford professor Dr. Christopher Gardner dismantling myths about amino acids and plant protein “quality.”
Finally, we unpack the backlash against veganism: falling sales at Beyond Meat, processed food criticism, and whether the movement has lost its health halo.

Why Chef AJ Went Public With Her Cancer Diagnosis After 2 Years S03E08
In this deeply personal and powerful interview, Chef AJ opens up about her lung cancer diagnosis, how it changed her life, and what it means for her decades-long advocacy for whole food, plant-based living.
Diagnosed with stage 1A lung cancer in 2023, AJ chose to keep it private—until it progressed. Now, for the first time, she shares why she went public, how it’s reshaped her mission, and what she wants the plant-based community to understand about hope, healing, and health.
AJ talks candidly about:
👉 The emotional impact of her diagnosis
👉 Why diet isn’t a guarantee against disease
👉 The power of support, community, and mindset
👉 Her “Thriving in the Face of Cancer” series
👉 Why she’s shifting her focus beyond weight loss
