Not Today Cancer

Welcome to Not Today Cancer Their mission is to inspire and empower those who have been affected by cancer. Darren's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 and Jens breast cancer diagnosis in 2021 may seem like a crazy coincidence, but it's given them a unique perspective on the challenges and triumphs of living with cancer. Through their own experiences, they have emerged stronger and more determined to help others facing a similar journey. As beacons of hope, they are committed to shining a light for those navigating the difficult path of cancer. They know firsthand the fear, uncertainty, and pain that come with a cancer diagnosis, and they want to guide others through this journey towards a place of strength and resilience. Their mission is to show that, despite the challenges, it's possible to Reset & Rise and emerge from this experience as better, more empowered individuals.

Stress and Cancer: What You Don’t Know Might Be Hurting You + My Go-To Night Routine Today Mr. Worldwide is BACK! Darren returns to the mic with stories, updates, and a deeper look into the symptoms he was experiencing prior to his recent surgeries — many of which were linked to one powerful root cause: stress. In this honest and eye-opening conversation, Jen and Darren explore how stress shows up in unexpected ways, especially after a cancer diagnosis. You might not feel anxious or panicked, but instead you’re dealing with brain fog, cravings, irritability, skin issues, or trouble sleeping — all while thinking you're "doing fine." Whether you're navigating life after a diagnosis or just feeling off, this episode is here to remind you: you're not alone, and there are things you can do to feel better. 🎧 Tune in for laughter, real talk, and tools that can make a difference — one small shift at a time. My Nighttime Wind Down Routine for Better Sleep Creating a calm, consistent evening routine has been a game changer for my sleep, hormones, and overall mood. Here’s what my wind-down routine typically looks like: Dim the lights I turn off all bright overhead lights and use low, warm lighting in the evening. This signals to my body that it’s time to start winding down. Eat dinner earlier I try to finish eating at least 2–3 hours before bed. Research shows this gives your body time to digest, supports metabolic health, and improves sleep quality. Take a post-dinner walk After dinner, I head out for a 20-minute walk. It helps with digestion, lowers blood sugar, and clears my mind after a long day. Comfy + calming I change into cozy clothes and sip on a calming tea. I also make a magnesium drink with fresh lemon — sometimes I add tart cherry juice for a natural source of melatonin. Take nighttime supplements I take my night supplement to support restful sleep and recovery. Unplug from screens I avoid screens at least one hour before bed. Blue light can mess with melatonin and disrupt your body’s natural sleep rhythm. I’ll usually swap screen time for reading, breathwork, or journaling. Quick breathwork session I do a few minutes of breathwork — either box breathing or 4-7-8 — to calm my nervous system and shift into rest mode. Watch something light If we do watch a show, it’s always something calm and light — never anything that raises my stress or anxiety. (Darren’s on board with this too!) Evening skincare ritual I wash my face and apply my favorite nourishing night oil — clean and toxin-free, of course. Cool, dark sleep environment Our bedroom is cool, completely dark, and distraction-free — all essential for deep, restorative sleep. Read before bed I wind down with a book — even just 10–20 minutes helps me disconnect and ease into sleep naturally.

Microdosing GLP-1 Week 4, Estrogen Loss & Non-Toxic Living: My Journey, Research & Tips 01/31/2025

Microdosing GLP-1 Week 4, Estrogen Loss & Non-Toxic Living: My Journey, Research & Tips In this episode, I’m sharing my journey with GLP-1 medications, why estrogen loss is my #1 reason for trying it, and the research behind its effects on bone, brain, and heart health. Plus, I’ll share my personal experience, tips for getting started, and how this all ties into my non-toxic lifestyle post-cancer. Key Topics: GLP-1 & Bone Health – Estrogen loss leads to osteoporosis, but GLP-1 meds may help by increasing bone density and reducing bone breakdown. GLP-1 & Brain Health – Estrogen protects the brain; without it, cognitive decline accelerates. Research shows GLP-1 can improve memory, reduce inflammation, and even lower Alzheimer’s risk. GLP-1 & Heart Health – Estrogen supports cardiovascular function, and GLP-1 may help by improving blood vessel function and reducing inflammation, lowering heart disease risk. My Experience with GLP-1 – Mood, energy, brain fog, and inflammation have improved—making menopause without HRT a little easier. Tips for Starting GLP-1 – Work with your doctor, prioritize strength training & protein, hydrate, start slow, and focus on non-scale victories. Why It Matters Post-Cancer A cancer diagnosis shifts everything—especially awareness of toxins and hormone disruptors. I’ve made key swaps in personal care, household products, food, and plastics to support healing. Simple, Free Ways to Reduce Toxins: Open windows for fresh air Get outside daily Choose real, whole foods Ditch synthetic fragrances You don’t have to be perfect—just take small, consistent steps. Let’s focus on progress, not perfection, and build a lifestyle that truly supports our health! RESOURCES & LINKS Midi Health: Take control of your hormonal health with personalized testing and plans.
