157. Does Happiness Kill Cancer Cells?

This is a very special episode. Why? Because a good friend of mine asked me to pick my favorite podcast to pass along to his friend, who is battling cancer. I’ve recorded hundreds of episodes. Do you know how hard it is to pick one? I spent hours reviewing my episodes and found the one recording I felt would be most impactful for this friend. It was an interview I recorded in my second year of podcasting with Dr. Kelly A. Turner, author of Radical Remission. You’re probably asking yourself, why this episode? I chose it for one reason. It’s a simple message: happiness can help kill cancer cells. Dr. Turner explained how positive emotions can affect your pituitary and pineal glands, flooding your bloodstream with oxytocin, relaxin, serotonin, and endorphins. She calls these “happy hormones,” and they will KILL CANCER CELLS. Translation: These hormones have been studied for their potential to reduce the spread and growth rate of cancer cells. This is not a hype up conversation; this data is based on numerous scientific studies. One of my big takeaways is that being happy for five minutes may be enough to get this process going! Please pass this episode along to anyone who needs encouragement today. ______ Tru Niagen After my conversation with Dr. Sandra Kaufmann about NAD and longevity, I decided to try one of her recommendations, Tru Niagen. I've been taking it for about a month, and the biggest changes I've noticed are less afternoon fatigue and better sleep. Of course, this is just my personal experience, but it's been an interesting part of my wellness routine. If you're curious about NAD, NR, and the science behind healthy aging, I highly recommend listening to my conversation with Dr. Kaufmann. She does a fantastic job explaining how NAD supports healthy aging and why timing can make a difference.
