    New: Stinging Cancer: Cancer Expert Joins Saranne

    Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne teams up with Jacqui Bryan, a functional medicine expert, RN, certified nutrition specialist, whole-health educator, and health coach, to explore the surprising health benefits of stinging nettles. Once known as a bothersome weed, stinging nettle is discussed as a mineral-rich plant with potential applications for reducing inflammation, supporting blood sugar balance, and improving prostate health. Throughout their conversation, Saranne and Jacqui prioritize science-based information and stress the importance of consulting your healthcare provider before making dietary or supplement changes, especially for anyone navigating cancer treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation, including those with Stage IV cancer. Jacqui Bryan is a registered nurse, certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, and certified health coach. With deep expertise in functional medicine, Jacqui brings a practical, whole-person approach to health and empowers individuals to make safe, informed choices. Her clinical insights and commitment to holistic wellness make her a valued guide for those seeking to integrate evidence-based herbs, foods, and supplements into their routines. "I actually had a client talk to me about taking or drinking nettles for reducing inflammation, and I thought, well, this would be a really interesting topic." ~Jacqui Bryan   Today on Beating Cancer Daily: ·     Stinging nettle is a nutrient-dense plant with potential anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and blood sugar-regulating benefits ·     There are important differences between using the leaf or the root; the leaf is often made into tea, while the root is noted for prostate and urinary health benefits ·     Preparing nettle by cooking, drying, or steeping in tea removes its sting and makes it safe to consume ·     People are advised to use caution with supplements and should always discuss new additions with a healthcare provider, especially in the context of interactions with medications ·     Nettle is high in vitamin K, which means individuals taking blood thinners need to be careful ·     Wild-harvested nettle can be contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals, or animal waste, so organic or third-party tested sources are best ·     Stinging nettle cannot replace medical treatments for cancer, and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects are best considered supportive ·     Precaution is especially important for those who are pregnant, have kidney disease, take certain medications, or have pollen allergies   2025-2026 People’s Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024, 2025, 2026 and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025.

    New: Aging Zombie Cells: Cancer Expert Joins Saranne

    Today, Saranne welcomes back functional medicine expert Jacqui Bryan to examine the science behind immune system aging and the role of so-called "zombie" senescent cells. Saranne recounts her determination to rebuild her immune system after Stage IV cancer treatments while Jacqui provides clear explanations for why immune function declines with age and offers practical ways to strengthen defenses.

Jacqui’s "food first" philosophy and real-world advice have made her a go-to resource in the cancer support community. "We cannot prevent aging…but some of us may age a little bit more gracefully than others, and our immune systems might stay a little bit stronger." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily: ·     Immunosenescence describes the gradual weakening and remodeling of the immune system as we age ·     Cancer survivors, especially after treatments like chemotherapy, may need to work even harder to keep their immune system resilient ·     The thymus gland produces naive T cells, but it shrinks with age, leading to fewer new immune defenders ·     Senescent "zombie" cells linger in the body, creating persistent low-level inflammation that increases disease risk ·     Regular movement, including brisk walking and strength exercises, has been shown to reduce markers of immune aging and improve function ·     Sleep is a crucial pillar for immune recovery and resilience, just as important as nutrition and exercise ·     Eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, and healthy fats helps lower inflammation and support immune health ·     Vitamins C, D, E, zinc, selenium, and omega-3 fatty acids are vital for maintaining immune strength throughout the aging process Guest Contact: Jacqui Bryan   2025-2026 People’s Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024, 2025, 2026 and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025.
