“Don’t ever, ever give up on yourself. You’re important, you’re here for a reason, and you’re here to give back to the world in so many ways.”
-Elissa Goodman, Holistic Nutritionist, Best-Selling Author of Cancer Hacks
On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, I sit down with the inspiring Elissa Goodman. Elissa is a sought after Holistic Nutritionist and the best selling author of Cancer Hacks. We talk about how Elissa struggled with her health from a young age, how the pressures of succeeding in her career further distanced her from her health, how she was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in her 30’s, how she chose to heal from the disease with a radical change in lifestyle, how 11 years later her husband was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and passed away after choosing to undergo traditional western cancer treatment, how she approaches helping others and her clients with their health, why self love is the most important aspect of healing, how plant medicines ayahuasca and psilocybin helped her accept herself, how she balances motherhood with her wellness, why everyone is different, the benefits of fasting, and why we should never give up on ourselves. Elissa’s story is extremely powerful and she’s an amazing example of what’s possible, regardless of where we may be now.
