We are excited to introduce Taimi Lawlor! She was living a life of functioning anxiety in her 20's, plagued by panic attacks, sleepless nights, extreme constipation, and excessive exercise.

Tired of how she was living, she searched for the root causes of her mental and physical heal...

Claudia De Pasquale was only 41 years old and a mom of three small children when she heard the words "you have cancer".

The girls are back with a quick breakthrough episode to update everyone on the future of the podcast. After a few months of hiatus to attend to mental and physical health, the girls are preparing to come back for season 2, with a new name, new branding, and some changes to the format. This episode also gets really candid, talking about insecurities and struggles for both the girls over the last fe...

The girls are back to discuss the alkaline diet. There are studies that suggest that eating an acidic diet may cause many health problems. The girls look at the pros and cons of eating alkaline. YouTube took down the last video on coffee enemas due to medical misinformation. You can find the complete video on Spotify or on Rumble.

Cryotherapy has become incredibly popular lately. While most trending fads are short-lived, there is actually some efficacy to this one. Cold plunging is not a new concept. In fact, it dates back thousands of years. The girls talk about this interesting healing modality and how it can help people with cancer.

This is going to be a controversial topic for sure, but the girls have nothing but good things to say about it. What is a coffee enema, and why is it so good for you? The episode will look at all the benefits of administering these types of enemas, as well as how to do it. It is incredibly intimidating thinking about putting anything (let alone coffee) in there, but it is actually a very relaxing...

Holistic health means healing the whole body...ALL of the body, including the parts we don't normally talk about. Though, perhaps a taboo topic, it is still important to investigate all symptoms you have, even if it is awkward. Your body is always talking to you, but you must listen to what it's saying. Things like cancer and yes, even body smells, are symptoms of a bigger issue. Check out...

Why do we believe that our doctor is our saviour? After all, they are just humans...fallible humans. Doctors do amazing things, yes, but they are not God. They do not know the future, therefore, they do not get to dictate how much time we have left. Your body was designed to heal itself! But you may have to go beyond what your doctor tells you and find alternative healing methods that feel right f...

The girls recount moments throughout their sicknesses when "friends" disappeared from their lives. They talk about the importance of people showing up... just being there in times of need. It doesn't mean you need to spend every waking moment with someone sick, but sometimes a thoughtful gesture or a simple hello goes a long way. *We apologize for the sound quality. We have no idea w...

It is so easy to think your medical doctor is God after a life-changing diagnosis. While it is important to hear what your doctor has to say, it is also equally (if not more) important to get second and third opinions from outside practitioners. Unfortunately, when it comes to diseases, conventional medicine is only trying to fix the problem, instead of figuring out why the problem existed in the...

Yeast can wreak havoc in our bodies, especially left untreated. Candida overgrowth can lead to issues like anxiety and depression, leaky gut, and skin conditions. It is extremely important to deal with yeast before it takes over. Eradicating it can be extremely tough, though, and often, drastic measures need to be taken to deal with it completely. The girls share their personal experiences with ye...

Herxheimer...it's so much more than a funny word. It can make you feel sicker than ever! Your doctor doesn't know what it is and says they can't find what's wrong with you. You start to feel crazy! But you know you feel off, even though you can't articulate what off means. Is it the flu? Is it a migraine? Am I dehydrated? Tired? Hungry? Cancer returning? Maybe I'm just a hy...

The girls talk self-care in this episode. Taking time for yourself is harder than it should be, especially as a mom. We tend to put everyone else's needs before our own. But how can you take care of others if you're not taken care of? The girls look at the importance of resting, forgiveness, and being kind to yourself. In the Edmonton area and interested in Wishbone Wellness Broth? Check o...

Grounding, also known as earthing, is a popular [but under-studied] technique for healing your body. It is as simple as touching bare skin to the earth, and it comes with many benefits. It may seem too simple or like a silly concept, but the positives outweigh the negatives when it comes to grounding. Try it and see what good it can do for your health. https://groundingofficial.com?bg_ref=lrvrbubc...

We are in the middle of changing around a few things, if you...

The girls get a little fired up this week as they discuss the things on their minds. Emotions are high as they recount some of the hurtful things said by others about having cancer. And when it comes to parenting, the girls wish they had more energy and could make up for lost time with their kids. It's frustrating when they see parents having the opportunity to be with their child and not taki...

Just because a person gets cancer, it doesn't mean that their life stops. Being a parent is exhausting as it is and having an illness on top of it is so mentally and physically draining. And then there's dating. As if being a single mom in your 30's wasn't hard enough! The girls get raw and candid in this episode.

Back with part 2 of this supplement series, the ladies go through Ashley's daily regime of pills, elixirs, powders, etc. Since she takes so many, this is a more condensed version than Becky's episode, merely because there would be no time to go into the same detail. A complete posting of Ashley's products will be posted on the Two Girls With Cancer social media pages. Please research t...
