86. Unlocking the Mystery: The Surge in Pediatric Cancer Cases. Simple Tips to Safeguard Your Kids

Could a simple change in diet hold the key to transforming pediatric cancer care?

Today, we have a truly special guest, Season Johnson, a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner dedicated to working with pediatric patients. I discovered Season on Instagram and was immediately drawn to her compelling story and expertise. 

Season’s own son was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and her family’s journey through this experience has shaped her mission to help others navigate the complexities of cancer treatment and nutrition. 

In today’s episode, we dive into Season’s unique approach to nutritional therapy for children battling cancer. We’ll look at rising pediatric cancer rates and how environmental factors like food toxins and EMFs might play a role. Season also shares practical tips for parents, including the benefits of sunlight, outdoor play, and a balanced diet to create a healthier environment for their children.

Hit play and get inspired—because fighting cancer just got a whole lot smarter!

In this episode:

• Season shares her son’s diagnosis with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
• Season talks about her initial resistance to traditional medicine and how she balanced it with alternative treatments to support her son’s health. 
• Season opens up about the emotional rollercoaster her family experienced — from sleepless nights in the hospital to the constant worry about her son’s health. 
• “It was a choice I had to make: am I going to let this define me, cross my arms, and sit back as a victim of our circumstances, or am I going to step up, realize I have a role to play, and not be passive?” - Season
• Studies show that environmental factors are a major contributor to cancer cases, including in kids, making up about 95-97% of cases. While genetics play a role in how we deal with toxins, the increased exposure to pollutants like electromagnetic fields from tech and various chemicals is a big concern.
• Simple steps that parents can take now to create an environment for their kids where cancer cannot survive in.
• How morning light affects our bodies’ natural healing rhythms.
• Tips to manage nutrition for picky eaters during cancer treatment.
• How activities like bouncing on a trampoline help with detoxification and waste removal in the body.
• Season explains that while everyone produces cancer cells daily, whether these cells develop into tumors depends on our immune system and genetic predispositions. The good news is that 99% of these genetic variations can be influenced by our nutrition and detox efforts.
• Season shares some key practices to ensure our detox pathways are functioning properly, including staying hydrated, regular bowel movements, and using a sauna.
• Key nutritional benefits of organ meats for overall health and cancer support.
• Creative ways to incorporate organ meat into your family’s diet, especially for kids. 
• What does "chemo-protective" mean in the context of foods and their effects on the body during cancer treatment?
• How often should you replace the things you do to effectively reduce toxins and improve overall health?
• How chlorella and chlorophyll protect us against radiation damage and support detoxification. 
• “God has given me this incredible ability, and it’s deeply rewarding. The pediatric cancer field may not be lucrative, but it offers the profound opportunity to give families hope. Having walked this path myself years ago, it is an honor to turn that experience into a source of hope and support for others.” - Season

• Season highlights the vital role of community during cancer treatment.
