  New: Stinging Cancer: Cancer Expert Joins Saranne 23.10.2026 23m

   Today on Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne teams up with Jacqui Bryan, a functional medicine expert, RN, certified nutrition specialist, whole-health educator, and health coach, to explore the surprising health benefits of stinging nettles. Once known as a bothersome weed, stinging nettle is discussed as a mineral-rich plant with potential applications for reducing inflammation, supporting blood sugar balance, and improving prostate health. Throughout their conversation, Saranne and Jacqui prioritize science-based information and stress the importance of consulting your healthcare provider before making dietary or supplement changes, especially for anyone navigating cancer treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation, including those with Stage IV cancer. Jacqui Bryan is a registered nurse, certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, and certified health coach. With deep expertise in functional medicine, Jacqui brings a practical, whole-person approach to health and empowers individuals to make safe, informed choices. Her clinical insights and commitment to holistic wellness make her a valued guide for those seeking to integrate evidence-based herbs, foods, and supplements into their routines. "I actually had a client talk to me about taking or drinking nettles for reducing inflammation, and I thought, well, this would be a really interesting topic." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Stinging nettle is a nutrient-dense plant with potential anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and blood sugar-regulating benefits·     There are important differences between using the leaf or the root; the leaf is often made into tea, while the root is noted for prostate and urinary health benefits·     Preparing nettle by cooking, drying, or steeping in tea removes its sting and makes it safe to consume·     People are advised to use caution with supplements and should always discuss new additions with a healthcare provider, especially in the context of interactions with medications·     Nettle is high in vitamin K, which means individuals taking blood thinners need to be careful·     Wild-harvested nettle can be contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals, or animal waste, so organic or third-party tested sources are best·     Stinging nettle cannot replace medical treatments for cancer, and its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects are best considered supportive·     Precaution is especially important for those who are pregnant, have kidney disease, take certain medications, or have pollen allergies 2025-2026 People’s Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series Finalist Ranked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024, 2025, 2026 and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025.

"Self-care is not selfish. It's that old, you know, you're on the airplane and they say, put the oxygen mask on yourself first and then put it on your loved one next." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Shorter, darker days can trigger mood changes, with Seasonal Affective Disorder being more severe than general winter blues·     SAD typically begins in late fall or winter and lasts several months, with symptoms including low mood, fatigue, cravings for carbohydrates, oversleeping, and withdrawal from social activities·     Women, young adults, and people living farther from the equator are at greater risk for experiencing SAD·     Tracking mood, energy, cravings, and sleep in a journal can help with early diagnosis and better conversations with providers·     It is essential to distinguish between SAD and other conditions such as hypothyroidism, anemia, vitamin D deficiency, or medication effects·     Common treatments include bright light therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and sometimes medication, though these must be carefully selected for those with cancer or bipolar diagnoses·     Supportive nutrition includes probiotics, prebiotics, omega-3s, tryptophan-rich foods, and vitamin D, while processed foods and alcohol should be reduced to support stable mood·     Cancer patients and caregivers face particular risks for SAD and should maintain open communication with oncology teams while pursuing social connection, laughter, and mindful self-care Contact Jacqui: Jacqui Bryan 2025 People’s Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series FinalistRanked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025,and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025. Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in 150 countries across 7 continents and features over 420+ original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.
