The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show

What if cancer care looked beyond the tumor and focused on the whole person?

In this episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, Sylvie Beljanski speaks with Dr. Jim Chialtas about functional medicine, nutrition, gut health, metabolic health, environmental exposures, and the importance of supporting the body alongside conventional cancer treatment.

They also discuss why personalized care matters, how lifestyle can influence the body's internal environment, and why emotional and spiritual well-being deserve a place in the healing conversation.

Cancer survivor Owen Hemsath shares his journey from stage 4 cancer to remission, discussing lifestyle medicine, emotional healing, patient empowerment, and the role of integrative approaches in supporting recovery.

In this episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, Owen Hemsath shares his personal journey through cancer diagnosis, treatment complications, recurrence, and remission.

After being diagnosed with stage 3 thymoma cancer in 2015, Owen underwent chemotherapy and radiation. While treatment initially addressed the cancer, he experienced severe side effects and long-term complications, including vascular damage and recurrent blood clots.

In 2020, he was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic cancer and began exploring integrative approaches after feeling dissatisfied with the support available through conventional medicine alone. He describes how books, lifestyle interventions, fasting, keto-vegan nutrition, juicing, and emotional trauma work became central components of his healing journey.

Owen discusses the impact of childhood trauma, his experience working with therapists specializing in cancer care, and the importance of hope, mindset, and patient engagement during treatment.

Today, he remains cancer-free while continuing to manage some long-term health effects from prior treatments. Through his Beat Cancer With Me community, he supports cancer patients by providing education, peer support, and connections to integrative healthcare professionals.

The episode highlights the value of informed decision-making, emotional wellbeing, lifestyle medicine, and whole-person approaches to healing.

What if breast cancer is not only about tumors, but about the environment within the body where disease develops?

In this episode of the Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, Dr. Jenn Simmons shares her powerful journey from conventional breast cancer surgeon to integrative physician after facing a breast cancer diagnosis herself.

She explains why the current medical model focuses too heavily on tumors instead of the internal terrain that allows disease to grow. From immune health and toxic exposure to emotional stress and hormonal balance, Dr. Simmons explores how women can better understand their bodies and take a more proactive role in prevention, screening, and healing.

- - - - -

About the Guest:

Dr. Jenn Simmons is a former fellowship-trained breast cancer surgeon and the founder of Real Health MD and PerfeQTion Imaging. After more than two decades practicing conventional medicine, her own breast cancer diagnosis led her to explore functional and integrative approaches to healing.

Today, Dr. Simmons focuses on helping women understand the deeper factors that influence breast cancer risk and recovery, including immune health, metabolic function, toxic exposures, hormonal balance, and emotional well-being.

She is the author of The Smart Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer and the host of the Keeping Abreast podcast, where she educates women on prevention, screening, and reclaiming agency over their breast health.
