    Ep. 127 – Dose, Source & Strategy: Vitamin C and D for Kids in Cancer Treatment

    Not all vitamins work the same. What if the difference between helping your child heal… and unintentionally holding them back… comes down to how you're using something as simple as vitamin C or D? In this episode, we're talking about two of the most commonly used nutrients in cancer care(vitamin C and vitamin D) and why dose, source, and strategy matter more than most people realize. This conversation comes from a live office hours session with Dr. Charles Pennick, where we walk through how these nutrients actually function in the body, the difference between synthetic and whole-food forms, and how to think about dosing safely, especially during active treatment. We also explore the nuances that often get missed: why vitamin C isn't just ascorbic acid, how high-dose IV vitamin C works differently than oral forms, and why pairing vitamin D with K2 is essential for proper absorption and safety. If you've ever felt confused about supplements—or wondered if you're doing "too much" or "not enough". This episode will help you approach these foundational nutrients with more clarity and confidence.   LINKS   Guest Links Website: https://www.drcharlespenick.com/about    Recommended Tools & Resources: Fullscript (Practitioner-Grade Supplements): If you're looking for high-quality, practitioner-grade supplements to support your health, Season has created a hand-curated Fullscript dispensary with the exact products she trusts and uses in practice.

    Ep. 126 – Is Your Home Making You Sick? What to Look for Before You Buy, Rent, or Stay — With Building Biologist, Brian Johnson

    In this episode, I sit down with building biologist Brian Johnson to explore something most families never think about—but absolutely should: the health of your home. We walk through how your environment can either support healing or quietly work against it, especially for families navigating cancer or chronic illness. From mold and water damage to EMFs and air quality, Brian shares what to look for before you buy, rent, or even stay in a home. This is a practical, step-by-step conversation designed to help you identify hidden risks and make more informed decisions about the spaces you live in.   LINKS: Guest Links: Healthy Building Alliance: https://www.healthybuildingalliance.org/  Facebook: Senergy360 Instagram: @senergy360 LinkedIn: Brian Johnson Linktree: SENERGY360   Recommended Tools & Resources: Fullscript (Practitioner-Grade Supplements): If you're looking for high-quality, practitioner-grade supplements to support your health, Season has created a hand-curated Fullscript dispensary with the exact products she trusts and uses in practice.

    EP. 125 — Beyond the Bell: The Functional Testing Roadmap for True Cancer Recovery

    What happens after treatment ends… and no one tells you what comes next? There's a moment every cancer family reaches—the bell rings, scans are clear, and suddenly you're expected to just move on. But what if that's actually when the real healing begins? In this episode, I'm walking you through the exact functional testing roadmap we use with families at Biodynamic Wellness to rebuild the body after cancer treatment. This isn't about guesswork—it's about understanding what's happening beneath the surface so you can support true, lasting recovery. We're talking about the five key tests that reveal what your child's body needs most, when to run them, and how they help you move from simply surviving… to truly thriving.

    Ep. 124 – The Hidden Toxin No One's Talking About: Emotional Root of Cancer With Dr. Tony Jimenez

    What if one of the biggest missing pieces in cancer healing isn't physical at all? In this incredibly powerful episode, I'm joined again by Dr. Tony Jimenez, founder and chief medical officer of Hope4Cancer Treatment Centers, to talk about something that every family walking through cancer needs to hear: the connection between emotions, trauma, stress, and healing. Dr. Tony shares why emotional healing is not optional during a cancer journey — it's foundational. We talk about how unresolved trauma can quietly impact the body at the cellular level, why hope truly matters in healing, and how emotional wounds can affect not only us, but future generations as well. We also discuss practical ways to begin emotional healing, how parents can release guilt after a child's diagnosis, and why creating safety, peace, and connection within the body matters so deeply during treatment and recovery. This conversation is compassionate, eye-opening, deeply hopeful, and filled with practical wisdom you can begin applying today. Because healing is about more than surviving. It's about learning how to truly thrive through and beyond cancer.   LINKS Guest Links Website: hope4cancer.com Instagram: @hope4cancermexico LinkedIn: hope4cancer-treatment-centers Linktree: @hope4cancermexico The 11 Integrative Hallmarks of Cancer Alternative Cancer Therapies at Hope4Cancer Hope4Cancer Cancun Wellness Center Hope4Cancer Mission & Philosophy Books:  The 7 Key Principles of Cancer Therapy® Hope for Cancer: 7 Principles to Remove Fear and Empower Your Healing Journey   Community & Support Join Thrive Through Cancer Community: https://biodynamicwellness.com/services   Connect with Season Website: www.seasonjohnson.com Instagram: @seasonjohnson

    Ep. 123 – Smiley's Journey: Surviving Childhood Cancer and Spreading Hope

    There are some conversations that stay with you long after the recording ends, and this was one of them. When I first came across Brady Lucas and heard pieces of his story, I immediately knew I wanted him on the podcast. As a cancer mom myself, hearing from survivors who are now thriving years later brings so much hope — not just for me, but for every family walking through this journey right now. Brady was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at just 8 years old. After enduring years of chemotherapy, he relapsed as a teenager and underwent a life-saving bone marrow transplant donated by his younger brother. In this conversation, he shares what it was like to face cancer as a child, the emotional weight survivors carry long after treatment ends, and how his perspective on health completely transformed because of it. We also talk about something I'm incredibly passionate about: what happens after treatment. Because surviving cancer is not the finish line. It's the beginning of rebuilding the body, supporting long-term healing, and creating an environment where health can truly thrive. Brady shares how nutrition, movement, sleep, emotional healing, and community support became foundational parts of his healing journey — and why he now feels called to educate and empower other families. This episode is honest, emotional, encouraging, and deeply hopeful. If you are in the middle of treatment, supporting someone you love through cancer, or navigating survivorship yourself, I hope Brady's story reminds you that there is life, purpose, healing, and hope on the other side of this.   Guest Links Website: bradylucasauthor.com Instagram: @bradyluu LinkedIn: bradychristopherlucas X (Twitter): @bradyluu Book on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Smileys-Smile-Brady-Lucas/dp/1633086674 Recommended Tools & Resources LumeBox: https://bit.ly/seasonjohnsonlume Use code seasonjohnson for $260 off Community & Support Join Thrive Through Cancer Community: https://biodynamicwellness.com/services Connect with Season Website: www.seasonjohnson.com Instagram: @seasonjohnson

    Ep. 122 – Stage 4 at 11 Months Old: How One Dad Built a Framework That's Helping Thousands of Families Fight Cancer

    What would you do if your child's life depended on decisions no one is fully explaining to you? In this episode, I sit down with Ryan Sternagel—a father, advocate, and founder of The Stern Method—whose son was diagnosed with stage 4 neuroblastoma just before his first birthday. What followed wasn't just a cancer journey… it was a complete rethinking of how healing actually works. Ryan shares how he and his wife navigated misdiagnosis, pushed for answers, faced pressure from the medical system, and ultimately chose a path that blended conventional care with powerful integrative support. This is not just a story of survival. It's a masterclass in advocacy, critical thinking, and what it really means to support your child's healing—before, during, and long after treatment.   Guest Links Website: www.thesternmethod.com Anti-Cancer Revolution: www.anticancerrevolution.com Going Integrative Plus: www.goingintegrationplus.com Our Health Naturally: www.ourhealthnaturally.com Facebook: thesternmethod Instagram: @thesternmethod TikTok: @thesternmethod YouTube: TheSternMethod Email: rec@thesternmethod.com     Recommended Tools & Resources Our 7 Supplement (Use code SEASON20 for 20% May 19-June 2 only and code SEASON for 10% anytime): https://ourhealthnaturally.com?sca_ref=10657350.x9tofLdIjQ96hEZw Red Light Therapy Device (Use code SEASONJOHNSON for $260 off): https://bit.ly/seasonjohnsonlume Protocol Guide (Free): https://yourthriveformula.com/free-protocol-guide   Community & Support Join Thrive Through Cancer Community: https://biodynamicwellness.com/services   Connect with Season Website: www.seasonjohnson.com Instagram: @seasonjohnson

    If you're thinking about having a baby—now or someday—this episode is for you. After years of working with families navigating pediatric cancer, I've seen patterns that are too important to ignore. What we often focus on is treatment… but what if we went further upstream?

In this episode, I'm walking you through five foundational steps you can take right now to create the strongest possible start for your future child. This isn't about fear.

    Ep. 120 – Childhood Cancer Survivor Story: Relapse, Healing, and Clear Scans

    In this episode, I sit down with Roxy and her mom, Diana, to share a story that is both deeply emotional and incredibly hope-filled. Roxy was just four years old when her family discovered a lump that would quickly turn their world upside down. From diagnosis to treatment, and then facing a relapse scare, Diana shares what it was like to walk through fear, uncertainty, and the weight of life-altering decisions as a parent. But what unfolds in this conversation is something even more powerful—a story of faith, resilience, and the unwavering belief in healing. From Roxy's childlike confidence in her healing, to the intentional choices their family made to support her body, this episode is a reminder of the strength that can be found in both faith and action.
