EP 305 - Self-Advocacy & Following Your Gut with Cancer Survivor Viki Zarkin

In this episode, Dr. Taz is joined by Viki Zarkin as she shares her cancer battle journey and how she conquered it. Viki Zarkin is the only person alive with this aggressive form of Stage 4 metastatic cancer for over 11 years. She was diagnosed in her 40s when her doctor first told her to go home and get her affairs in order. At the time, she had two small children at home and was running her husband's dental practice. Viki spent the next several years fighting for her life, advocating for herself, navigating the healthcare world, and following her gut.Now, Viki is a beacon of hope as a national motivational speaker, coach, and author of I Am the One. She inspires women to change how we have been programmed to think and emphasizes the importance of starting with young women on believing in themselves, challenging the status quo, finding their voices, and listening to their hearts. Viki's can-do attitude inspires people to think differently in their everyday lives; by applying her unique thought process, deals can be made in a boardroom just as easily as they can help people through their cancer battle. Today on Super Woman Wellness: Follow your instincts: Advocating for yourself could save your lifeWhy doctors need to listen to patients to promote preventionHow to focus on fighting and keeping it together mentally and emotionallyThe right mindset to ignite your life and beat cancer This show is supported by:Athletic Greens | Get a free year’s supply of vitamin D and 5 free travel packs with your first purchase at athleticgreens.com/DRTAZ!Follow Sande:Book:  I Am The OneWebsite: iamtheone.comIG: @iamtheone_vikiTwitter: @iamtheonevFacebook: iamtheonevikiLinkedIn: Viki ZarkinFollow Dr Taz:Instagram: @drtazmdWebsite: doctortaz.com This show is produced by Soulfire Productions
