When you’re facing a chronic or life-altering diagnosis, it’s almost inevitable: someone suggests supplements.

But do they actually make a difference?

In this episode of Renegade Remission, we examine what supplements truly do inside the body, based on biological mechanisms and clinical research.

If you are navigating cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, heart disease, or another chronic condition, this episode will help you move from random supplementation to intentional support.

You’ll learn how specific, well-studied nutrients influence the core systems that illness disrupts: mitochondrial energy production, immune regulation, inflammation control, antioxidant capacity, cellular repair, and detoxification.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why certain supplements influence core healing systems like inflammation, mitochondrial energy, immune balance, and detoxification
2. How targeted nutrient support can shift the trajectory of fatigue, neurological symptoms, and immune dysregulation
3. The difference between strategic supplementation and random “stacking”
4. The top ten most well-researched supplements for supporting healing
5. A simple framework for building a supplement plan that is effective, safe, and sustainable

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to think about supplements correctly.

Listen now to learn how to build a simple, thoughtful supplement strategy that supports your healing without overwhelm.

Your body is detoxifying every second of every day. The real question is: are you helping that process… or overloading it?

If you’re navigating chronic or serious illness, your body is carrying a heavy load — medications, inflammation, environmental exposures, metabolic waste - so it's essential you understand how to support detox properly.

In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore how detoxification truly works in the body — from liver biotransformation and bile flow to gut elimination, kidney filtration, lymphatic circulation, and even the role of movement and sweat.

You’ll hear a medically documented case of fatty liver disease reversing through lifestyle changes that reduced liver burden and restored detox capacity.

This conversation bridges the gap between conventional dismissal of “detox” and the hype-driven extremes of the wellness world. Detox is real. It’s biochemical. And when supported correctly, it can meaningfully reduce inflammatory load and metabolic stress.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. How your liver’s two-phase detox system actually works
2. Why gut health determines whether detox is completed or recycled
3. The overlooked role of hydration and kidney filtration
4. How movement supports lymphatic drainage and detoxification
5. What sweating can (and can’t) contribute
6. Why reducing toxic burden is more powerful than extreme cleanses
7. Simple, research-supported ways to improve detox capacity

If you are living with cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, heart disease, or another chronic condition, supporting detox isn’t optional, it’s foundational.

Listen now to learn how to reduce your body’s burden and support its natural detox pathways in ways that are sustainable, science-backed, and gentle.

Can something as simple as changing when you eat actually influence inflammation, immune function, and cellular repair?

Fasting is often portrayed as either a miracle cure or a dangerous trend. But what does it really do inside the body, especially if you’re facing a chronic or serious illness?

In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore the real science behind fasting and metabolic therapy.

You’ll learn what happens biologically when the body shifts its fuel source, how fasting influences autophagy and inflammation, and why some long-term survivors include gentle metabolic strategies as part of their healing approach.

We’ll also examine a documented glioblastoma case in which metabolic therapy was used alongside conventional treatment, not as a replacement, but as a supportive layer. This conversation cuts through hype and fear to give you clarity.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. What autophagy is and why it matters for cellular repair
2. How time-restricted eating can stabilize blood sugar and reduce inflammatory stress
3. Why ketones act as signaling molecules, not just fuel
4. The connection between glucose spikes and immune dysfunction
5. How short-term fasting influences IGF-1 and cellular stress resistance
6. Why most benefits come from gentle shifts, not extreme deprivation

Most importantly, you’ll learn how to support your metabolic health in ways that feel sustainable and safe, without rigid rules, starvation, or added stress on your body.

Listen now to understand whether fasting or metabolic strategies might be supportive on your healing journey and how to implement simple, safe shifts starting today.

If you are navigating cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, heart disease, or another serious diagnosis, this episode will help you approach metabolic therapy with clarity instead of confusion.

What if healing does not begin with restriction, discipline, or a perfect diet, but with a simple nutritional shift that makes change feel possible instead of overwhelming?

In this powerful and grounded conversation, I sit down with Adrienne Scharli, who was told she had an incurable neurological condition and went on to recover by addressing the root imbalances in her body through nutrition, lifestyle, and mindset.

What makes this episode different is not just what she ate, but how she changed her diet. Adrienne shares a gentle, sustainable approach that removes overwhelm and allows healing habits to build naturally over time. This same principle shows up again and again across remission stories from cancer, autoimmune disease, neurological illness, and heart disease.

This episode is for anyone facing a chronic or terminal diagnosis who feels frozen by fear, confused by conflicting advice, or exhausted by the idea of “doing everything perfectly.”

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why adding nourishing foods first can be more powerful than cutting foods out
2. The simple nutrition shift that helped Adrienne’s symptoms resolve when nothing else worked
3. How gradual dietary changes can calm inflammation and support healing biology across many diseases
4. A step-by-step way to begin changing your diet without stress, guilt, or deprivation
5. How nutrition, mindset, emotional healing, joy, and nervous system regulation work together in real healing journeys

This is not a story about willpower. It is a story about creating an internal environment where healing becomes possible.

Listen now to learn how one simple nutrition shift helped change the course of a devastating diagnosis and how you can begin applying the same approach today, no matter what illness you are facing.

This episode will help you move out of fear, out of overwhelm, and into small, steady actions that support your body’s natural capacity to heal.

What if healing doesn’t always begin with adding the “right” foods, but by removing the ones that quietly keep your body inflamed and stuck?

In this grounded, science-based episode of Renegade Remission, we explore the foods most consistently linked to chronic inflammation and disease progression across cancer, autoimmune illness, neurological disease, and heart disease.

Drawing from remission stories, clinical experience, and peer-reviewed research, this episode explains how certain foods create ongoing biological stress that makes healing harder. You’ll learn why the immune system reacts so strongly to these foods, how inflammation becomes self-perpetuating, and what often happens when that burden is gently reduced.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. The foods most strongly associated with chronic inflammation across serious illnesses
2. Why ultra-processed foods, added sugars, refined grains, processed meats, and industrial oils strain the immune system
3. How inflammatory foods disrupt the gut, blood sugar, and metabolic balance
4. A real, medically documented remission where removing specific foods helped calm autoimmune disease
5. Why even small reductions in inflammatory foods can make a meaningful difference
6. Gentle food swaps that lower inflammation without stress, rigidity, or perfectionism

Listen now to understand which foods are most likely keeping inflammation high, and how removing them can help your body shift toward healing. This episode offers clarity, relief, and simple next steps you can take without overwhelm.

What do people who recover from cancer, autoimmune disease, and neurological illness all have in common at the table?

In this episode of Renegade Remission, we explore the universal food themes that show up again and again in real remission and long-term healing stories, regardless of diagnosis. From spontaneous remission literature to functional medicine case reports to survivor testimonies, the details may differ, but the nutritional patterns are strikingly consistent.

You will hear a medically documented case where diet played a central role in reversing severe autoimmune disease, and you will learn why these same food principles support healing across cancer, MS, lupus, heart disease, and other chronic or terminal conditions. This is not about a fad diet or rigid rules. It is about how the body responds when inflammation lowers, metabolism stabilizes, and the immune system finally has the resources it needs to do its job.

In this episode, you will discover:

1. The six nutrition patterns shared across real remission and unexpected recovery stories
2. Why ultra-processed foods consistently show up as a barrier to healing
3. How nutrient density supports immune accuracy, mitochondrial function, and cellular repair
4. Why gut health and microbiome diversity matter across every major disease category
5. How stabilizing blood sugar reduces inflammation and stress hormones
6. Why gentle fasting and digestive rest appear so often in healing journeys

Most importantly, you will learn why healing diets are not about perfection or restriction, but about reducing burden and increasing nourishment in ways your body can actually sustain.

Listen now to understand what real remission stories have in common when it comes to food, and how you can begin supporting your own healing biology one simple, compassionate step at a time. This episode will help you move away from confusion and toward clarity, without overwhelm or pressure.

Some people are told they’re terminal, and then something inside them changes. Before the scans show progress, before symptoms shift, their bodies stop fighting and start responding. Today, you’ll hear what survivors say changed first.

In this deeply human episode of Renegade Remission, we explore a pattern that appears again and again in real survivor stories. Long before scans change or symptoms improve, many people describe an internal shift, caused by a reconnection to joy and purpose, or the support of loved ones who lift them up.

Drawing from survivor memoirs, medically documented neurological recovery, and decades of research in psychoneuroimmunology, this episode reveals how emotional clarity, connection, and meaning can influence stress hormones, immune behavior, inflammation, and even gene expression.

You’ll hear two powerful stories. One from a Radical Remission survivor who stabilized after Stage IV cancer when she reclaimed joy and identity beyond illness. Another from a peer-reviewed neurological recovery where emotional safety and human connection supported unexpected brain repair.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. Why healing often begins with a sense of safety rather than force or control
2. How emotional shifts can lower cortisol, calm inflammation, and support immune accuracy
3. The role of purpose and meaning in regulating biology across serious illness
4. How compassion and connection trigger measurable physiological changes
5. Why survivors so often trace recovery back to a moment when something inside softened

You’ll also learn why these shifts are not “just emotional,” and how science now confirms their biological impact across cancer, neurological disease, autoimmune illness, and chronic conditions.

Listen now to understand why healing so often starts with safety, purpose, and connection, and how you can gently create the conditions for your own internal shift without pressure, performance, or perfection. This episode offers a grounded reminder that your body is listening, adapting, and still capable of change.

Some people are told they’re terminal… and their bodies heal anyway. Today, I want to show you how that actually happens.

In this deeply human episode of Renegade Remission, we explore three true stories of people who healed or stabilized from illnesses considered terminal. These stories come from different worlds. One is a memoir-based Radical Remission account. One is a peer-reviewed medical case that surprised an entire oncology team. One is a documented neurological recovery in a condition long believed to be irreversible.

Together, they offer something rare and grounding. Not false promises, but real examples of how adaptable and responsive the human body can be, even when the odds appear overwhelming.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. A Radical Remission story from someone whose Stage IV cancer recovery defied every expectation
2. A medically documented spontaneous remission that left doctors searching for explanations
3. A neurological recovery showing that even progressive conditions can shift under the right conditions
4. The common biological and emotional themes that appear across these very different recoveries
5. Why prognosis cannot account for immune reactivation, nervous system regulation, or human resilience

These stories are not about guarantees. They are about possibility, biology, and what can happen when the internal environment begins to change.

Listen now to ground yourself in real, documented stories of healing that go beyond statistics and timelines. Whether you are facing cancer, neurodegenerative disease, heart disease, or another serious diagnosis, this episode offers perspective, steadiness, and evidence that the body is often more capable than we are led to believe.
