    Today’s episode is for you if you’ve ever felt completely overwhelmed by the plethora of health advice out there… and just don’t know what to do first.
    I hear this all the time.
    You’re listening to the podcast, you’re following experts, you’re trying to do the right things - eat well, sleep more, move your body, regulate your nervous system - but it all starts to feel like too much.
    And the truth is, it is too much.
    We’re now consuming the equivalent of around 54 newspapers worth of information every single day. No wonder we feel scattered, overstimulated and unsure where to focus.
    So in this episode, I’m sharing how I personally cut through that noise.
    Not by doing more.
    Not by following every trend.
    But by simplifying everything down to what actually matters for me - and how I now help others do the same.
    Because your health isn’t one-size-fits-all.
    And the real shift happens when you stop trying to do everything… and start focusing on what’s right for you.
    I also introduce something I’ve created called The Personal Reset Plan - a simple, personalised way to help you get clear on your priorities without adding more to your plate.
    Think of it as someone finally helping you filter everything out.

    In this episode, I talk about:
    Why modern health advice feels so overwhelming
    The “54 newspapers a day” reality and what it’s doing to your brain
    Why more information isn’t the answer to better health
    How to stop the constant cycle of “I should be doing more”
    The power of simplifying your health into 3–5 key priorities
    Why personalised support changes everything
    How to feel calm, clear and back in control of your body and mind

    This episode is for you if:
    You feel overwhelmed by conflicting health advice
    You’re trying to “do all the things” but still don’t feel your best
    You want to feel calmer, clearer and more in control
    You’re tired of overthinking your health
    You know something needs to change but don’t know where to start

    Want my help?
    If this resonated with you, I’d love to support you.
    I’ve created a Personal Reset Plan - a one-to-one deep dive where I help you cut through the noise and get clear on what actually matters for your health.
    We look at the full picture - your body, mind, lifestyle and energy - and simplify it down into a few key areas that will make the biggest difference.
    No overwhelm.
    No endless to-do lists.
    Just clarity and a plan that works for you.

    Terminal Brain Tumour to 10 Years Later - Dave Bolton’s Survival Story (Part 2)

    18/03/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    Dave Bolton was given just three months to live with a brain tumour. Nearly ten years later, he is still here - and this is how he did it.
    Welcome back to Cancer Cured Me. This is Part 2 of one of the most extraordinary conversations I’ve ever had.
    In this episode, Dave shares what happened after his diagnosis of a brain tumour, later confirmed as a glioblastoma - one of the most aggressive and terminal forms of cancer.

    This is where his story shifts from survival… to something much bigger.
    We talk about the moment he was told he had a tumour in his brain, the fear, the waiting, the surgery, and the devastating prognosis that followed. But we also go deep into what he chose to do next - and the decisions that have led him to still be here today.
    This is not about false hope. It’s about possibility. It’s about taking back control when everything feels out of your hands.
    And it’s about understanding that a prognosis is not always the full picture.

    In this episode, I share with Dave:
    The moment he was diagnosed with a brain tumour
    Being told he had just 3 months to live without treatment
    Undergoing major brain surgery with a 75% risk of not surviving
    The second diagnosis - a fast-growing glioblastoma
    The reality of chemotherapy and radiotherapy
    Hitting rock bottom and completely shutting down
    The turning point that changed everything

    What Dave did differently
    This is the part so many of you have been asking for.
    Dave shares the approach he took to support his body alongside conventional treatment - something that aligns so deeply with what I believe and what I talk about on this podcast.
    We talk about:
    Nutrition and why he shifted his diet
    The role of exercise and movement in healing
    Mindset, visualisation and the power of the mind
    Stress, trauma and how they impact the body
    Complementary therapies - from cold water to breathwork-style practices
    Creating a 360-degree approach to healing
    Something that really stayed with me from this conversation is this:
    “Accept your diagnosis, but never accept your prognosis.”

    Where Dave is now
    Dave is now nearly 10 years on from a 3-month prognosis.
    He is part of a tiny percentage of people in the world living this far beyond a glioblastoma diagnosis.

    What this episode is really about
    This conversation is not about rejecting medicine. It’s not about doing one thing over another.
    It’s about expanding the conversation.
    It’s about understanding that healing can be supported in many ways.
    And it’s about remembering that:
    You are not average
    You are not alone
    There is always something you can do

    If you’re going through this right now
    Something that came through so strongly in this episode is this:
    You are allowed to have the hard days.
    You are allowed to feel everything.
    But there is also space for hope.
    And sometimes, that starts with hearing a story like this.
    If this episode resonates with you, please share it with someone who might need it.
    And if you’d like to connect with Dave or learn more about his work, all links are in the show notes.
    Because sometimes…
    The stories that sound impossible
    Are the ones that change everything.

    He Was Given 3 Months to Live - 10 Years Later Dave Bolton Is Still Here (Part 1)

    11/03/2026 | 32 mins.
    Dave Bolton was given just three months to live with cancer. Ten years later, he’s still here.

    In this episode of Cancer Cured Me, I’m sharing the first part of Dave’s extraordinary story - a story of survival, resilience, and the remarkable power of the human spirit.
    Dave’s journey is almost impossible to believe. Before cancer even entered the picture, he had already survived an accident that should have killed him. Crushed by a 23-ton articulated lorry while riding his motorbike, he was told he would never walk again. Doctors even considered amputating his leg.
    But Dave refused to accept that as his future.
    Step by step - quite literally - he rebuilt his body, teaching himself to walk again through sheer determination and relentless effort.
    And then he did something even more extraordinary.
    He went on to become a world kickboxing champion.
    This conversation is the beginning of Dave’s story. In this first part, we talk about the accident that nearly took his life, the long and brutal recovery, the mental battles that followed, and the mindset that carried him through when everything seemed impossible.
    It’s a story about what happens when someone decides that the prognosis doesn’t get the final say.
    Dave was later diagnosed with terminal cancer and given just three months to live. Today he is ten years beyond that prognosis, helping others through his charity and sharing the lessons he learned about resilience, mindset, and healing.
    This episode is powerful, emotional, and at times unbelievable. But it’s also a reminder that the human spirit is capable of far more than we often think.
    This is Part 1 of Dave’s story.

    In this episode we talk about:
    The motorbike accident that left Dave crushed by a 23-ton lorry
    Being told he would never walk again
    Surviving life-threatening injuries and a week-long coma
    Morphine psychosis and the psychological toll of recovery
    Teaching himself to walk again despite doctors’ predictions
    The mindset that carried him through the darkest moments
    Becoming a world kickboxing champion after being written off
    Why finding your reason why can change everything

    Dave’s story is one of the most extraordinary examples of resilience I’ve ever come across. It’s a reminder that sometimes the limits placed on us are not the limits that truly exist.
    If this conversation resonates with you, make sure you listen to Part 2, where we go deeper into Dave’s cancer diagnosis, his prognosis, and how he went on to defy it.
    If you enjoy the podcast, please follow or subscribe so more people can discover these powerful stories of healing and transformation.
    Because sometimes the most impossible stories… are the ones that change everything.

    The Scientist Who Discovered a Cancer Cure – Then the Government Shut Him Down

    04/03/2026 | 54 mins.
    Welcome back to Cancer Cured Me - healing, manifesting and living your best life.
    This episode is with Sylvie Beljanski, a Parisian lawyer who walked away from her legal career to fight an injustice most of us could never imagine.
    Her father – a molecular biologist – spent his life researching natural plant extracts that supported the body during cancer. His work attracted the interest of doctors, helped countless patients, and even supported former French President François Mitterrand through advanced prostate cancer.
    And then… nine months after Mitterrand died, the French army sent a full SWAT team to Sylvie’s father’s small lab in rural France.
    Machine guns. Dogs. A helicopter circling overhead.
    All to shut down a scientist in his seventies.
    This conversation is wild – but more importantly, it’s hopeful, grounding and genuinely empowering for anyone whose life has been touched by cancer.

    In This Episode, We Explore:
    The shocking political story behind the raid on Sylvie’s father’s lab
    How natural plant extracts like pao pereira and rauvolfia vomitoria were discovered
    Why her father’s research focused on destabilised DNA rather than “cancer types”
    How these extracts may work alongside conventional treatment
    Why Sylvie left law to carry on her father’s legacy
    The emotional side of healing – toxic stress, lifestyle, relationships, alignment
    What cancer stem cells are and why they're so often ignored
    How new research at Columbia University and Kansas University Medical Center is validating her father’s early discoveries
    The role of joy, alignment and “living clean” in long-term health

    If Cancer Has Touched Your Life (or someone you love)
    This episode offers something I think everyone deserves to feel: real, researched hope.
    And just to be clear – we’re not making claims or offering cures. What we are offering is conversation, educatio and the chance to explore options with an open and empowered mind.

    Links Mentioned
    The Beljanski Foundation: https://beljanski.org
    Maison Beljanski (New York): https://maisonbeljanski.com
    Winning the War on Cancer (Sylvie’s award-winning book – first chapter free)
    Research papers, protocols, and resources are all available on the Foundation website.

    Final Thought
    One of my favourite lines from Sylvie :
    “These extracts give you time. The question is – what will you do with that time? You have to get to the root cause.”
    As someone who had cancer myself, this hit home. This episode is such a powerful reminder that healing is multilayered – physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental – and that living joyfully is part of the medicine too.
