How Cancer, Grief and Healing Rebuilt a Survivor’s Life From the Ground Up

Cancer, grief and financial loss could have ended the story. Instead, Jonathan Brandt turns the hardest chapter of his life into a blueprint for healing, hope, and taking ownership of your health before crisis forces the issue.Jonathan is a cancer survivor, health and wellness coach, and host of ‘Go Out Living’- and in this conversation with Dr. Favour, he shares what it really takes to rebuild after treatment, after loss, and after your body stops cooperating the way it used to.You’ll hear the raw truth about what it was like for Jonathan and his wife Christy to battle cancer at the same time, how chemotherapy, radiation, neuropathy, blood clots, gut damage, and a bone marrow transplant changed everything, and why side effects can be as life-altering as the diagnosis itself. He opens up about the moment “Go Out Living” became more than a phrase, and how Christy’s resilience shaped the movement behind his podcast and coaching work.We break down the practical side of healing too - what proactive health actually looks like, why nutrition and movement matter even during treatment, and how Jonathan uses holistic tools like blood testing, fiber, Tai Chi, rucking, and mindset work to support long-term wellness. He also explains why support systems matter, what he wishes he had done differently, and why asking questions early can change the entire course of treatment.If you or someone you love is facing cancer, grieving a partner, or trying to get serious about prevention before life forces the issue, this episode offers both hard-earned wisdom and real encouragement. It is a powerful reminder that surviving is only part of the journey - the deeper challenge is choosing how you want to live.Perfect for anyone ready to stop waiting for a wake-up call and start taking their health, healing, and future seriously.Connect with Jonathan and visit his website https://www.skool.com/gooutlivingHe is also on Instagram https://instagram.com/gooutliving TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@gooutliving and YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@GoOutLiving/podcasts
