And when it comes to cancer, although incredible medical advances are being made, not everyone has access to prevention methods, early detection screenings, and treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, understandably, it\u2019s scary. Oftentimes, it can get lonely. And undoubtedly, it can cause you to develop anxiety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, there are people with strong voices who can help support and empower you on your cancer journey. Consider tuning in to these three incredible souls on The Mindvalley Show (previously called The Mindvalley Podcast) for the advice, guidance, and motivation they provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-dr-josh-axe-on-maximizing-your-health-and-well-being-through-nutrition\">1.

As the story goes, after her second diagnosis, he laid out a diet and lifestyle plan for her that\u2019s based on more traditional remedies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The choices we make every day\u2014the food we eat, the products we use, the stress levels in our lives, the pills we take\u2014these are the difference between illness and health.<\/p>\n<cite> \u2014 Dr. Josh Axe, certified doctor of natural medicine and clinical nutritionist<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/369\/bmj.m2482\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Food is medicine<\/a>, after all.

Alex Echols on 7 habits that helped him beat Stage 4 cancer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the age of 29, Alex Echols, an advisor and investor for disruptive companies, was diagnosed with stage four cancer. And two years later, he was in complete remission. What did he do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the unsuccess of his conventional medical treatments, Alex had a massive reckoning. \u201c<em>I started to identify, \u2018okay, something\u2019s not working here\u2019 based on the decisions I\u2019ve made thus far,<\/em>\u201d he explains, questioning to himself whether or not he was happy with his care team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My life was on the line and I was willing to do whatever to have a different result.<\/p>\n<cite>\u2014 Alex Echols, advisor and investor for disruptive companies<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s a challenging situation for anyone to be put into. However, Alex found inspiration in Albert Einstein&#8217;s quote: \u201c<em>Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With that <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/marisa-peer-confidence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">confidence<\/a>, he set out to research other ways to beat his cancer.

And in 2018, Marisa was diagnosed with cancer a second time\u2014this time, it was Lynch syndrome, a gene that prevents the body from fighting cancer cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One diagnosis could send anyone down a spiral. But two? Most would plunge headfirst into a \u201cWoe Is Me\u201d state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not Marisa, though. She said only one thing: \u201c<em>I\u2019m not doing illness<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You have so much power to keep yourself well, to heal your body&#8230; Don\u2019t give your power away.

But you don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are people who are living proof that cancer isn\u2019t a death sentence. People like Dr. Axe\u2019s mom, who\u2019s living well into her 60&#8217;s; Alex, who beat stage four; and Marisa, who knows she\u2019s enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you find yourself needing a little help, <strong>you\u2019re always welcome at Mindvalley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here, you\u2019ll find science-backed resources, like Marisa\u2019s <em>Rapid Transformational Therapy<\/em> Quest, to help you through your healing journey.
