Show Notes
What does it look like to heal from the inside out—physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually—after a cancer diagnosis?
In this powerful episode, Lauren sits down with Kayla Perkins—an Erie, Colorado–based registered nurse, Stage IV metastatic melanoma survivor, and holistic cancer coach who helps individuals navigate cancer and chronic illness with a root-cause, faith-centered, whole-body approach.
After 12 years in emergency medicine and critical care nursing, and walking through her own Stage IV cancer journey, Kayla discovered firsthand that healing is far more than medicine alone. Today, she guides others through the emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual layers of recovery—helping them rebuild their health from the foundation up.
This conversation is honest and deeply encouraging for anyone facing a diagnosis, caring for someone who is, or simply wanting to live more intentionally healthy life in a chaotic world.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why Western medicine alone often misses root causes of disease
- Why true healing begins internally—not just physically
- The importance of community and connection during illness
- Why the gut is the foundation of physical health
- The surprising benefits of coffee enemas (and why they’re less intimidating than you think)
- Why Vitamin D is critical for cancer prevention—and why it is so important to check your levels
- Clean sunscreen options to reduce toxic load
