Best Podcasts for Cancer Wellness

When I was going through treatment, I was desperately searching for encouragement, testimonies of success stories, and tangible evidence of hope. Here are a few podcasts that I found helpful:

Believe Big Podcast

Discusses faith, mental health, integrative and holistic resources for cancer. Lots of encouraging success stories even for stage 4 patients. Podcast created by Stage IV colon cancer survivor (diagnosed at age 37 while homeschooling 4 kids)

The Place We Find Ourselves

Pretty much a poor man’s substitute for free biblical based counseling. My favorite episodes are #18 Why Your Story Makes it Hard to Hope and #16 Why Lament (Surprisingly) Leads to Life and Freedom. Podcast by licensed therapist. If you are digging into the emotional and spiritual aspects of cancer recovery there are some thought-provoking topics and stories.

The Wellness Well

Think holistic, faith-filled approach to healing. Podcast created by Certified Integrative Health Practitioner. Favorite episode #20 What Cortisol Can’t Calm, Christ Can

The Flourish After Cancer Podcast

Created by oncologist focused naturopath who focuses on how to thrive past cancer using research backed information.

Cancer Freedom Podcast

Lots of science backed tips from Dr. Amy a cancer survivor and oncologist focused researcher. Episode 145: Stage IV Cancer Thrivers (Good one I enjoyed, especially if you are Stage IV)

The Mel Robbins Podcast Episode: Mayo Clinic Cancer Doctor: 5 Foods that Heal the Body Starve cancer & Prevent Disease

This episode is with Dr. Dawn Mussallem a Mayo clinic physician and stage IV cancer survivor with a crazy story of a cancer diagnosis during med school at the age of 26.
