Wake-Up Calls & One Simple Change at a Time: Stan Harper’s Journey Through Loss, Cancer & Choosing Life

from Third Chances · host Vera Czerny

One seizure. One diagnosis. One mission. Stan Harper was married for 34 years when his wife suddenly experienced a seizure — a shocking moment that led to her Stage 4 brain cancer diagnosis. They spent 4½ years navigating surgery, treatments, hope, grief… and then loss. A year later, life handed Stan his own wake-up call: chronic lymphocytic leukemia — a blood cancer. Facing his mortality, he realized: this was his final wake-up call. Stress, grief, inflammation — he believes these played a role. Instead of waiting for treatment, Stan chose action. He: • Overhauled his lifestyle: diet, movement, mindset • Adopted what he calls the 5 S Diet: Smoothies, Salmon, Salads, Smart Snacks, Science-based supplements • Became a Certified Health Coach — not for business, but to learn how to truly fight cancer Today, Stan lives with lymphoma under “watch and wait,” strengthened by daily choices and the support of JuicePlus — a whole food, plant-based supplement. His message is powerful: you don’t have to wait for a crisis—just one simple change can begin real transformation. Tune in to hear: • The three wake-up calls that changed everything • His “one simple change” philosophy & 5 S Diet • How he supports others through personal coaching & public speaking • Why life can be fragile - and why we don’t have to wait to live fully Listen now and get inspired to take your first step.
