    #57 - What Every Cancer Patient Should Know About Exercise

    What if the most powerful cancer-fighting tool isn't a drug, it's your muscle? Exercise oncologist Sami Mansfield spent 23 years building programs inside cancer centers and co-authoring ASCO guidelines before most oncologists were willing to have this conversation. In this episode, she joins Dr. Daphne Bascom to cover what your care team probably hasn't told you about movement, muscle, menopause, and what it actually takes to prevent cancer and thrive after it. Whether you have a diagnosis, are caring for someone who does, or are simply committed to protecting your health in midlife and beyond, this conversation will change how you think about your body. In this episode, you will learn: Why "rest and eat whatever you want" is one of the most harmful things an oncology team can sayThe minimum effective dose of movement Sami starts every patient with (it's 5 minutes and it works)Why muscle loss during treatment may occur and how to prevent itHow to track your muscle health at home for under $35The difference between cancer detection and cancer prevention (and why 364 days matter more than your annual screening)Sami's "bookend" method for protecting sleep during treatment and menopause….and more!Connect with Sami Mansfield My Lifestyle Shift (her survivorship and lifestyle program): https://www.mylifestyleshift.com Cancer Wellness for Life: https://www.cancerwellnessforlife.com #CancerPrevention #ExerciseOncology #WomensHealth #Menopause #PlantBased #Longevity #LifestyleMedicine #CancerSurvivor #MuscleHealth #ThriveOnPlants  Additional resources to help you thrive on plants: 🌱 Access the free Plant-Powered Body course: Access Here 🌱 Take the free health assessment for women 40+: Start Here   🌱  Watch every episode on YouTube ⭐️ If you loved this episode, please leave a review! ⭐️ Here’s how to do it on Apple Podcasts: Go to the Thrive on Plants Podcast page: Click here Scroll down to the ‘Ratings & Reviews’ section.

    #56 - From Disease Care to Health Creation

    What if the healthcare system was never actually designed to make you healthy? Dr. Zeev Neuwirth spent decades inside major health systems as a physician, Chief Medical Officer, and Population Health Officer. What he found there shocked him, then frustrated him, then ultimately set him free. In this conversation, Dr. Neuwirth breaks down three phases of his career-long awakening: from realizing that even world-class hospitals were failing patients relationally, to discovering that improving healthcare delivery was not the same as improving health, to his most unsettling realization of all: that the entire system, including much of the wellness industry, is built around consumption rather than creation.  This is one of the most riveting conversations we have had on Thrive on Plants. We ran out of time before we ran out of ideas. Part 2 is coming. What We Cover Why the US ranks 40th in lifespan and 80th in healthy adjusted life years despite spending over $5 trillion on healthcare annuallyThe Groundhog Day moment that changed Dr. Neuwirth's career trajectoryWhy willpower is the least reliable health tool you have and what actually works insteadThe three reframes that shift you from self-blame to self-protectionHow your social environment is shaping your health behaviors, whether you realize it or notThe wellness industrial complex: when the solution becomes part of the problemAbout Dr. Zeev Neuwirth Dr. Zeev Neuwirth is a physician, healthcare executive, and author of Reframing Healthcare. He is the host of the podcast Creating a New Healthcare and spent decades in senior leadership roles at major US health systems, including Atrium Health (now Advocate Health), one of the three largest health systems in the country. His work sits at the intersection of healthcare systems reform, behavior change science, and personal health agency.

    #55 - How to Live Longer Without Spending a Fortune

    Julie Gibson Clark is not a billionaire with a team of longevity doctors. She is a full-time recruiter, a former structural engineer, a single mom from Phoenix -- and she has outperformed most of the world's highest-spending biohackers on the most rigorous biological aging leaderboard. Her DunedinPACE score of 0.665 indicates she was aging at a rate of 65 days per 100 days. She got there with a pound of vegetables a day, weights four times a week, a $20 gym membership, and a very clear reason why she refuses to age faster than she has to.In this episode of Thrive on Plants, Julie shares what she has learned over the years. She did not just tell me what works. She told me what went wrong, including the time she added one too many supplements, developed a fibroid, cut her HRT in half, stopped sleeping, and watched her pace of aging jump from 0.665 back up to 0.77.  What we cover: What biological aging pace actually measures, and why it matters more than a static "biological age" numberHow she accidentally slowed her aging faster than Bryan Johnson, and why she is not surprised he has since surpassed herThe quercetin experiment gone wrong: a new fibroid, disrupted HRT, and a DunedinPACE score that climbed back up -- and what it taught her about adding supplements without understanding your own geneticsWhy she stopped eating 100 grams of protein every day and what she does instead This is not a story about biohacking. It is a story about what happens when you pursue healthspan with consistency and intention.

    #54 - Why "Eat Less, Move More" Stops Working After 40 (And What Actually Does)

    Forty percent of women are not being heard by their doctors when they report menopause symptoms. Andrea Donsky was one of them. She is a nutritionist with 26 years of experience. She had studied health and wellness her entire career. And she still spent 14 years in perimenopause without knowing it. When she finally understood what had been happening to her body, she did not keep it to herself. She spent two years researching, surveyed over 5,200 women, published her findings, and wrote the book she wished she had been handed at 35. That book is Nourishing Menopause: Powerful Nutrition and Lifestyle Strategies to Feel Your Best.  In this episode, we cover: Why perimenopause likely starts earlier than you think, and why most women miss itHow one night of poor sleep disrupts insulin, increases cravings, and contributes to weight gainThe REST Protocol for better sleep: Routine, Environment, Support, and TechnologyWhy "eat less, exercise more" stops working in perimenopause, and what to do insteadThe 17 reasons you may be gaining weight, and most of them are not your faultHow your gut microbiome and estrobolome affect hormone clearanceThe blood tests every woman in midlife should be asking her doctor forAndrea's simple protein formula, built directly from the researchWhy most electrolyte supplements are formulated for male athletes, not perimenopausal womenHow mindset shapes your menopause experience more than most people realizeAndrea's research found that 50 to 90 percent of the top 10 most common menopause symptoms are brain and mental health relatedGet Nourishing Menopause (available now): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1668061546 Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/Nourishing-Menopause-Audiobook/B0FXHRZX63  Book website: nourishingmenopausebook.com (a great download is available on this site) Learn more about Andrea and her research: https://wearemorphus.com Follow Andrea Donsky:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wearemorphus TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@andreadonsky YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@wearemorphusAdditional resources to help you thrive on plants: 🌱 Access the free Plant-Powered Body course: Access Here 🌱 Take the free health assessment for women 40+: Start Here   🌱  Watch every episode on YouTube ⭐️ If you loved this episode, please leave a review! ⭐️ Here’s how to do it on Apple Podcasts: Go to the Thrive on Plants Podcast page: Click here Scroll down to the ‘Ratings & Reviews’ section.

    #53 - Triple Negative Breast Cancer: How She Caught It Early and Came Back Stronger

    Lori Baum is a medical assistant who has spent over two decades working in oncology. She knows cancer. She knows screenings. She eats well, stays active, and has been proactive about her health for years. And still, in November 2022, she found the words "invasive carcinoma" on her phone screen at lunch. In this episode of Thrive on Plants, Lori shares her full story: a heavy family history of cancer, a negative BRCA test, a breast MRI that changed everything, and a triple-negative breast cancer diagnosis that her mammogram earlier that same year had completely missed. What follows is one of the most honest conversations we have had on this podcast. Lori talks about what it actually feels like to go through 16 rounds of chemotherapy and 15 rounds of radiation, how she stayed active and kept eating well when treatment was taking everything from her, what the healthcare system gets right and gets wrong during survivorship, and how she found her way back to herself on the other side. Lori is now 58 years old, fully plant-based, strength training, running half marathons, and training for an Ironman relay. She says she is in the best shape of her life. Topics covered: Why family history and dense breasts may require more than a standard mammogramTriple negative breast cancer: what it is and what treatment involvesHow Lori stayed active and ate well through chemotherapy and radiationThe emotional weight of survivorship and what comes after treatment endsHow plant-based eating and strength training transformed her recoveryWhy self-advocacy is the most important tool you have in your healthcare journeyConnect with Lori: loriabaum@yahoo.com Additional resources to help you thrive on plants: 🌱 Access the free Plant-Powered Body course: Access Here 🌱 Take the free health assessment for women 40+: Start Here   🌱  Watch every episode on YouTube ⭐️ If you loved this episode, please leave a review! ⭐️ Here’s how to do it on Apple Podcasts: Go to the Thrive on Plants Podcast page: Click here Scroll down to the ‘Ratings & Reviews’ section.

    #52 - Why Women Have to Fight for Their Hormones

    Content Warning: This episode includes an honest, courageous conversation about the mental health toll of hormone deficiency, including a moment of profound hopelessness. Sarah speaks to this with full self-awareness and strong support in place. If you or someone you love is struggling, please reach out to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988. What happens when a nurse practitioner who specializes in women's hormonal health spends an entire year fighting to get her own hormones covered by insurance? That is exactly what happened to Sarah Katkhouda, FNP-C. Sarah is a women's health nurse practitioner and a provider at MIDI Health. In this episode, she pulls back the curtain on one of the most frustrating and overlooked realities in women's healthcare: the gap between what women need and what the system is actually willing to provide. After undergoing a hysterectomy and oophorectomy for pelvic congestion syndrome, Sarah was plunged into surgical menopause overnight. What followed was a year of insurance denials, medication shortages, dose trials, canceled appointments, and a slow but deliberate fight to reclaim her health, her strength, and her sense of self. In this episode, we cover: What pelvic congestion syndrome is, why it is underdiagnosed, and what women need to know before pursuing surgical interventionThe critical differences between surgical menopause and natural menopause, and why treating them identically is doing women a serious disserviceHow to optimize estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, and why the sequence and method of delivery matterThe role of muscle in hormonal health, metabolic resilience, and longevity, and what happens to musculoskeletal integrity when hormones are out of rangeHow to self-advocate when you feel dismissed or worn down by a system that was not built with women in mindSarah does not sugarcoat what this year has cost her. She also does not stop there. She shares what she has learned, what she wishes she had known, and why she is committed to making sure other women do not have to fight as hard or as long as she did.

    #51 - The Hidden Muscle Group Every Woman Should Train

    #50 - Closing the Health Gap in Black Communities

    Description: 268 million years. That is how much collective life the Black community in America is on track to lose to preventable chronic disease. Kwame Terra, a plant-based public health strategist, walked over 2 million steps in 30 days to launch bEHR Health, a platform designed to recapture that time. This conversation will change how you think about health, community, and what real prevention looks like. In this episode of Thrive on Plants, Dr. Daphne Bascom sits down with Kwame Terra, MPH, the founder and CEO of bEHR Health Systems (Black Electronic Health Record) to talk about the life expectancy gap facing Black Americans, why 80-90% of health outcomes are determined outside the clinic, how a 55-year-old physician lost 20 pounds and stopped taking blood pressure medication after a community walking challenge, and why Kwame believes "the desire to live" is the true root of longevity. Kwame has been plant-based for over a decade, studied public health at Xavier University of Louisiana and Columbia University, worked on organic farms, and built a health platform that is producing measurable, real-time improvements in community health scores. He is also the person behind the bEHRathon, a virtual walking challenge launching April 1, 2026 with the goal of collectively walking to the moon (239,000 miles) in 30 days.
