On episode 689 of the 40+ Fitness Podcast, we're joined by Sarah Cripps, the inspiring author of "Cancer Isn't All About Chemo." Sarah shares her personal journey after her young son, Teddy, was diagnosed with leukemia. Through her extensive research and determination, Sarah created a guide she wishes she had when facing this challenge—a book that offers insight into maintaining strength and health during cancer treatment. Sarah discusses the importance of nutrition, including supplements like IP6, and strategies such as intermittent fasting to complement traditional cancer therapies. She also emphasizes the need for individuals to be proactive and informed advocates in their healthcare decisions. Time Stamps:
