Eating for Longevity with Holistic Nutritionist and Cancer Survivor Elissa Goodman
01/18/24 • 63 min
In this uplifting episode of The HEAL Podcast, I sit down with my dear friend Elissa Goodman, who has turned her own personal diagnosis and tragedy into her life's purpose. Diagnosed with cancer in her early thirties, Elissa opted to take an unconventional treatment approach to healing and was successful in doing so. After giving birth to her two beautiful daughters, she was then diagnosed with Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s, which she was also able to put into remission. Shortly thereafter, her loving husband was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 43 and unfortunately lost his battle a year and a half later.
Elissa's journey from a life-altering cancer diagnosis to a renowned holistic nutritionist is nothing short of extraordinary. She shares how her profound transformation through nutrition sparked a passion and mission to help others achieve optimal health and wellness through lifestyle changes. Together, we explore her latest findings, discuss some healthy hacks, and highlight the importance of self-love and grace along the way. Through personal anecdotes and expert insights, this discussion serves as a compelling reminder that so much more is possible when it comes to healing if we take control of our health and our power back from a broken system.
Elissa has created several successful cleanses with Cafe Gratitude and M cafe, including her own delivered EG Kitchen Cleanse in Los Angeles and her digital 7-Day RESET cleanse, and has helped thousands of clients manage their health issues. Her Super Seed Bars from the Cleanse are sold online nationwide, along with her new granola. To find out more about Elissa, click the links below.

This episode is rooted in science and overflowing with hope for anyone struggling with chronic or mystery illnesses.

The Vital Role of Probiotics in an Era of Chronic Illness with Tina Anderson of Just Thrive
In this episode of The HEAL Podcast, I sit down with Tina Anderson, co-founder of Just Thrive Probiotics to discuss all things health and vitality. Our enthusiastic and aligned conversation delves into the often-overwhelming world of supplements, pharmaceuticals, and the crucial role of the microbiome in our overall health. Tina, who transitioned from a career in litigation to working in the pharmaceutical industry, sheds light on the abuses and capture she witnessed. The lack of integrity she and her husband experienced prompted them to redirect their paths towards creating health solutions that address the issue/imbalance at the root as opposed to treating symptoms and not ever achieving healing. On their journey, they stumbled upon a spore-based probiotic strain called Bacillus Indicus HU36. They gained the exclusive rights to this unique strain of probiotics and founded Just Thrive.
In this interview, we cover everything from the depletion of our food systems which requires us to supplement, to the overwhelming amount of supplements on the market, to the issues with most probiotics on grocery store shelves or fridges. With chronic illness and autoimmune disease on the rise, healing our gut has become absolutely paramount. Right now, we are at a critical juncture that calls for conscious decisions around tending to our physical and mental health through mostly natural remedies. Nature has and always will hold the answers. Tune in for actionable insights on reclaiming your health so that you can do what you are designed to do — THRIVE.
