Martha Tettenborn, RD shares her inspiring story of surviving and thriving through cancer and chemo treatments! It is no secret that cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow without a steady supply of glucose. But when you’re diagnosed, nutrition recommendations often result in increased blood sugars, the essential food that cancer cells need to thrive.
In her book Hacking Chemo, Registered Dietitian and cancer survivor @marthatettenborn offers a new way of treating cancer with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. As Martha says, change how you fuel your body, add in a "take control" attitude, and you’ll have nontoxic but tough tools to power your way back to health.
Don’t feed cancer, hack it!
I learned a ton in this empowering interview, and I know you will too!

Miguel Bautista is the founder of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CSF) Recovery. He specializes in helping individuals recover from chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and long covid through neuroplasticity and brain rewiring techniques. Miguel shared his powerful story of when he woke up one day and was astonishingly incapable of sustaining his own needs which led to months spent bedridden in the hospital with unexplainable symptoms and debilitating pain. Ultimately, it wasn’t until Miguel crossed paths with a psychiatrist that he was able to truly conquer his health and live independently again, pain free. In this episode Miguel retells his story and explains the 3-step protocol he uses for resetting the nervous system.
WHAT WE DISCUSSED:
[6:11]- Miguel shares his powerful story of struggling with chronic pain and being hospital bound to finding true healing through brain rewiring.
[11:27]- Are those with go-getter personalities more susceptible to chronic ailments?
[19:34]- What Miguel did when his labs continuously showed up normal, despite experiencing terrible symptoms and debilitating pain.
[23:24]- How a psychiatrist created a treatment plan to get Miguel out of the hospital on his own two feet.
[30:50]- What is neuroplasticity? What is Miguel’s 3-step protocol to recalibrating the nervous system?
[41:29]- What is Miguel’s treatment plan for a long Covid patient struggling with ongoing pain?
