Episode Description from the Publisher

Katie came on the podcast this week and said something I haven't stopped thinking about."If you think investing in your health is expensive, get cancer. When you're lying in a hospital bed, you don't care about money. You would pay anything."She's 42. Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in 2024. Medically induced coma. 10 weeks in hospital. Learned to walk and write her name again from scratch.The chemo put her into menopause at 39. Overnight.She came out the other side completely hormonally wrecked and like so many of you, found herself drowning in conflicting information about what to do with her body.What moved the needle wasn't restriction. Wasn't fasting. Wasn't the 1500 calories and six days of training she used to do.It was eating more. More carbs specifically. Lifting three days a week. And having someone help her drown out the noise.Today she's stronger than before cancer. Better body composition. Blood work improving every check.FOLLOWKitty Blomfield @kittyblomfieldCraig McDonald @iamcraigmcdonaldAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
