Healing Cancer: Where Oncology Meets Ayurveda with Dr. Sam Watts
Can belief measurably change your immune markers during treatment?Why can the word remission quietly program us to expect a relapse—and what language serves better?Which daily foods have the strongest evidence for anti-cancer support—and how much actually matters?Sugar, insulin, IGF-1—how do they shape cancer risk, and what’s the fruit nuance?Can circadian alignment extend survival for people living with cancer? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Ayurvedic practitioner and integrative medicine expert Sam Watts, whose understanding of healing goes far beyond conventional treatments. Rooted in ancient wisdom and backed by science, Sam offers an entirely different way to look at cancer—not just as a physical disease, but as a disconnection from our internal intelligence, lifestyle, and emotional ecosystem. They talk about the mind-body connection, and how emotions like fear and helplessness can literally suppress your immune system, while belief and empowerment activate healing at the cellular level. Sam shares the foods that actively kill cancer cells, the lifestyle habits that disrupt our circadian rhythm and hormones, and why "hope" is the single strongest predictor for survival in cancer patients. In this episode, you’ll learn: How belief and mindset directly influence immune function and recovery What foods (like turmeric, matcha, and EVOO) are backed by science as anti-cancer powerhouses Why poor sleep and synthetic skincare might be more dangerous than you think How Ayurveda offers personalized, intuitive tools for healing The importance of circadian alignment and Ojas in preventing disease What it means to support someone beyond just conventional medicine How to detox from microplastics and endocrine disruptors—naturally Whether you're on a healing journey, supporting someone who is, or just want to better understand how to live preventatively and purposefully—this is one of the most profound health episodes Radhi has ever recorded.

What If the Thing You’re Avoiding Is the Key to Feeling Better?
Do you avoid hard things thinking you’re protecting your peace?Are you mistaking short-term comfort for real self-care?What if the things you run from are the key to your healing?How do you know when a boundary has become a wall? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi Devlukia takes a deep, honest look at avoidance—why we do it, why it feels so good in the moment, and why it can quietly sabotage our happiness, relationships, and growth. She explores how modern “self-care” culture has blurred the lines between protecting our peace and avoiding discomfort, and why choosing the harder, messier path is often the most loving thing we can do for ourselves. From subtle coping habits like overworking or overthinking, to more obvious escapes like walking away from relationships or avoiding difficult conversations, Radhi reveals how avoidance not only delays pain but also keeps us disconnected from our truest selves. She offers practical, compassionate ways to face discomfort, process the past, and build the resilience that creates lasting peace. In this episode, you’ll learn: The difference between true self-care and disguised avoidance How unprocessed pain lingers in your body and shapes your present Why short-term comfort can lead to long-term struggle How to spot avoidance in subtle everyday behaviors Practical ways to face discomfort and build emotional resilience Why doing “hard things” boosts self-trust and confidence How building resilience in one area of life strengthens all others The long-term freedom that comes from choosing the harder path now Whether you’ve been putting off a conversation, ignoring a past hurt, or avoiding your next big leap, this episode is a compassionate call to stop running—not because life will be pain-free, but because you are stronger than the pain you fear.
