41. Healing Through Hardship: My Experience with Toxic Mold Exposure, PTSD, and a Cancer Scare (Season Finale)

I am excited to say that I have wrapped up season 1 of my Take Back Your Health™ podcast. For the last episode of the season, I have finally recorded my first solo cast. This is not just any solo cast. This is so personal and vulnerable for me—I literally bared it all in this episode. I definitely saved the best for last this season. I share what ups and downs I have been through over the last three years and, most importantly, a big health scare. I hold back tears (for the most part) as I describe almost being diagnosed with cancer and all of the very outside-the-box treatments I tried to finally get the all clear. You will not want to miss this episode! As the season comes to a close I want to thank you all for listening and let you know how very much I appreciate all of your support. I love what I do, and if I’m being honest, so much has transpired in my personal life. I’m finding it challenging to envision a season 2. It can be tough to publish a podcast episode every week. Lately, I’ve been reflecting on the effort it takes to work on my podcast, and weighing whether to keep going. So, I want to hear from you! If my podcast has helped you in any way and you would like to hear a season 2, please let me know. I’d love to hear from you! Regardless of what the future holds, I cannot thank you enough for joining me on this journey to Take Back Your Health™. 02:54 Challenges and Personal Struggles 03:15 Mold Issues and PTSD 07:09 Legal Battles and Separation 09:00 Health Scares and Family Support 12:57 Exploring Alternative Medicine 18:07 Spiritual Journeys and Healing 28:57 Reflections and Future Plans 36:06 Practical Health Advice 42:00 Cancer Recommendations Episodes , books, and resources mentioned in this episode: The Devastating Effects of Toxic Mold Exposure with Ann Shippy, MD: https://amymd.io/5 The Power of EMDR therapy: Overcoming Trauma and Anxiety with Ginger Poag: https://amymd.io/6 The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer (with Jenn Simmons, MD): https://amymd.io/7 From Prevention to Treatment: Inside Dr. Connealy’s Integrative Cancer Solutions: https://amymd.io/c Autoimmune Diseases, Trauma, and Psychedelic Therapies with Dr. Sara Gottfried: https://amymd.io/8 The Terrain Approach to Cancer: Dr. Nasha Winters on Revolutionizing Integrative Oncology: https://amymd.io/9 The Cancer Revolution: A Groundbreaking Program to Reverse and Prevent Cancer by Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy: https://amymd.io/a The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet, and Nontoxic Bio-Individualized Therapies by Dr. Nasha Winters: https://amymd.io/b Prenuvo: https://prenuvo.com/ Connect with Dr. Myers: Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/
