Ep 22. Cancer Is Not a Genetic Destiny Out Of Our Control, with Zakariya Frank of BeatCancer

In the latest episode of "Everyday Epigenetics," I sit down with Zakariya Frank, the CMO of BeatCancer.org, an organization dedicated to holistic cancer prevention and treatment. We delve into a myriad of topics including the impact of lifestyle choices, the importance of being one's own health advocate, and the growing movement toward holistic approaches. Here’s a deeper look at some of the key discussions from this enlightening conversation.

The Impact of Exposure on Reality and Health
Both Zakariya and I emphasize the significant impact our environment has on shaping our health. Zakariya passionately discusses how what we are exposed to—whether it’s the food we eat, the thoughts we entertain, or the people we surround ourselves with—plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being. He suggests curating positive messages and consuming them repetitively to steer our lives in a more positive direction. His advice underscores the importance of surrounding yourself with positivity and making concerted efforts to steer clear of negativity.

Holistic Health and Conscious Living
Our conversation revolves around modern approaches to health that promote consciousness, awareness, and a mind-body connection. Zakariya delves into the effects of physical toxins, emotional stress, and unresolved trauma on the body, suggesting that they can lead to severe health issues, including cancer. This leads to a deeper conversation about the "toxin bucket" concept, advocating for informed choices to prevent toxic overload. I add my perspective on the importance of a balanced lifestyle, particularly voicing my concerns over restrictive diets like keto and carnivore. Instead, I emphasize the benefits of antioxidant-rich foods and consistent physical activity.

Empowerment Through Information and Advocacy
I share my personal experiences, lamenting the lack of information available when my mother died of cancer in 1979. I am now a proponent of holistic treatments and emphasize the need for proactive measures in healthcare. Zakariya reinforces this by urging listeners to take responsibility for their health, highlighting that it’s never too late to make better choices. We both stress the importance of being one's own medical advocate, pushing back against the disempowering narrative around genetics and diseases. Our message is clear: informed choices and conscious living can redefine our health destinies.

Educational and Supportive Community
The episode shines a spotlight on BeatCancer.org's mission to create a supportive community focused on sharing knowledge and empowering individuals. Free counseling for cancer patients, educational content on social media, and group Zoom calls are just some of the resources available. The organization stands as a beacon of hope, providing educational courses that cover a wide array of topics, from dietary changes to stress management and the emotional underpinnings of cancer. The goal is to foster a tight-knit community where individuals can openly discuss their experiences, learn, and grow.

The Role of Emotional and Mental Health
Zakariya brings attention to the concept of "emotional constipation" and its link to physical health. He explains how unprocessed emotional traumas affect us physically, sometimes leading to serious health conditions like cancer. This ties back to the broader discussion on the impact of our mental framework and emotional health. Zakariya and I agree that addressing emotional burdens can alleviate physical symptoms, fortifying the body's resilience against diseases.

It’s never too late to improve your health and empower others to do the same.
