In this episode, we delve into Revealing Apricot Seeds' Healing Powers and How They Support Cancer Defensewith John Richardson.

Carrying on the legacy of his late father, Dr. Richardson, and Edward Griffin's pioneering work, John is on a mission. He shares how apricot seeds—and their key compound, Amygdalin (Vitamin B17 or Laetrile)—provide potent anti-tumor action. This compound also triggers apoptosis in cancer cells, offering a natural approach to cancer defense.

Natasha Trenev has many titles including Developmental Scientist, Educator, and Founder of Natren Inc. However, the one I was most interested in was: The Mother of Probiotics. 

Probiotics are undoubtedly one of the best ways to strengthen your gut, the foundation of your body and mind. Because of this, I felt compelled to learn more about one of the leading researchers. 

As I dug deeper, I discovered that Natasha’s family has a 750-year history of producing the most beneficial yogurt for the Royal family of Yugoslavia. Furthermore, she has rigorously studied probiotics for the last 40 years and is a treasure chest of information. 

Join De’Ann (Head 7 Essentials System® Coach) and me to learn about the #1 strand of probiotics for breast cancer thrivers and the details of why probiotics are critical for anyone who wants to experience vibrant health!

As a gift, please download her eBook: The Power of Probiotics.

• Natasha’s 750-Year Family Legacy of Fermentation Natasha Trenev shares her fascinating family history, which dates back 750 years, as her father was the official food supplier to the King of Yugoslavia. This legacy inspired her groundbreaking work in introducing Bulgarian yogurt to the U.S. and establishing the first liquid yogurt standard in California.
• The Importance of Probiotic Strain Selection for Cancer Thrivers Natasha explains the critical role specific probiotic strains play in supporting breast cancer thrivers. She emphasizes how certain strains are vital for boosting immunity, detoxification, and maintaining a balanced microbiome.
• The Connection Between Microbiome and Mental Health Natasha highlights how probiotics not only affect physical health but also mental well-being. She reveals that beneficial bacteria can produce serotonin, dopamine, and other key compounds that directly impact mood and brain function via the gut-brain axis.
• Why Proper Delivery Systems for Probiotics Matter Natasha stresses the importance of using the right delivery systems to ensure probiotics survive the journey through the digestive system. She describes her innovative oil matrix delivery system, which protects the bacteria from stomach acid and ensures they reach the intestines alive and active.
• The Link Between Fungi, Cancer, and Gut Health Natasha delves into recent research showing that fungi and harmful bacteria are present in many cancerous tumors. She explains how maintaining a balanced microbiome can help prevent fungal overgrowth, a key factor in the development of various cancers, including breast cancer.

“If you can align food that you love with foods that are good for you, you’ve won the game of health.” -Dr. William Li

I couldn’t agree more, so I asked him to share his groundbreaking research on my podcast.

Dr. Li’s research has led to the development of over 40 new medical treatments that impact care for more than 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease, and obesity. His TED Talk: “Can we eat to starve cancer?” and best-selling book: “Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself” should also be on everyone’s list. 

Tune in for some food for thought on the Game of Health and about beverages you should be drinking more of, foods that starve breast cancer, and so much more.
