Episode 21: Make Your Body Cancer-Hostile with This Hormone

The FDA just removed a major warning label from hormone therapy — a sign that science around women’s hormones is changing fast. But what does this shift really mean for people who’ve faced cancer or want to protect their long-term health?

In this episode, Dr. Mary Ann Martin (“The Hormone Hacker”) joins us to unpack how hormones, food, and stress all shape your body’s internal environment — and what you can actually do to make it less welcoming to cancer.

You’ll learn:

  • What the FDA’s hormone change really says (and why it matters)
  • How hormone balance affects inflammation, metabolism, and healing
  • The truth about sugar, food myths, and “feeding cancer”
  • Simple tests that show if your body is in a healing or hostile state

This isn’t fear — it’s clarity.
Kicking Cancer’s Ass brings you the stories, science, and suggestions to take back control of your health and healing.

I'm a 54 year old former CMO/CRO and generational breast cancer survivor. My early cancer experiences shaped my personal and professional philosophy to continuously cultivate an approach that adjusts to whatever curveball shows up. And we know, curveballs are constant, especially in midlife with aging parents, maturing kids (if you have kids), and opportunities to focus on new goals for our next 50 years. I have a book being released in January - Crushing the Cancer Curveball, A Veteran's Guide for the Newly Diagnosed. While no one wants cancer, 1 in 2 Americans and 1 in 4 people worldwide will face cancer in their lifetimes. There's an alternative narrative to the terror, anger and fear that accompanies a diagnosis - a narrative that spawns compassion, confidence, and even joy. I'd love to talk about it with you and your audience.
