30: 9 Things I Removed From My Kitchen After Being Diagnosed With Cancer at 32

Subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don't miss the next episode. After cancer, I removed nine things from my kitchen that most people still use. I'm a certified integrative nutrition health coach, a nine-year cancer survivor, and I work with people on cancer prevention and recovery, so my kitchen had to change in ways I didn't expect. When I started looking at refined oils, non-stick cookware, plastic containers, aluminum foil, scented plug-ins, plastic water bottles, plastic cutting boards, ultra-processed foods, and conventional cleaning products together, I realized how much daily exposure I'd accepted as normal. No single product causes cancer overnight. But chronic exposure over years is a different conversation, and that's the one I want to have. Learn what I swapped out, what I use now, and why each change actually matters. Some swaps were easy. A few took me longer than I'd like to admit.
