Cancer is no longer just an old person's disease — and today's kids are growing up in a world that's making them more vulnerable than ever. In this powerful episode of The Holistic Kids Show, Zane, Abdullah, and Kasim sit down with Dr. Jenn Simmons, MD — functional oncologist, bestselling author, Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon, and founder of Real Health MD — for an eye-opening conversation about cancer prevention, root causes, and how families can take back control of their health.
Dr. Jenn shares her remarkable personal journey: how a cancer diagnosis of her own led her to walk away from a 20-year surgical career, seek answers beyond conventional medicine, and discover that the tumor is never the real problem — it's a symptom of deeper metabolic and lifestyle imbalances.
In this episode, you'll learn:

- The dangerous ingredients hiding in everyday processed foods — and why your body doesn't know what to do with them
- Why sunlight, movement, and sleep are non-negotiable for long-term health
- The 3 most powerful things any family can start doing TODAY to lower cancer risk
- How conventional cancer care misses the root cause — and what functional oncology does differently
Dr. Jenn's top 3 takeaways for kids and families:
- Eat whole, real food — if it has more than a few ingredients you can't pronounce, leave it on the shelf
- Move your body throughout the day and get outside in nature
- Prioritize sunlight, sleep, and human connection — they are medicine
Whether cancer has touched your family or you simply want to build a healthier future, this episode is packed with practical wisdom every kid and parent needs to hear.

💪 Building Resilience Through Failure – Real stories of kitchen disasters (like adding 3 tablespoons of salt instead of teaspoons!) and why these small failures build the confidence to tackle bigger life challenges
👨👩👧👦 Creating Real Community – Why cooking and eating together (phones down!) naturally builds the connections teens crave, featuring insights from Chef Jason on the power of gathering around food

Reduces stress hormone (cortisol) levels Prevents self-esteem from fluctuating based on social media likes Improves overall health markers Builds resilience during challenging times

Dr. Zendi Moldenhauer, PhD, NPP, PNP, RN-BC, IFMCP, is a double board-certified Psychiatric and Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and certified Functional Medicine practitioner with over 25 years of experience.

Dr. Jaban’s commitment to restoring health through a holistic approach originated in his early years when his mother's health declined for three years without a clear diagnosis. Her eventual diagnosis of diabetes occurred after a car accident led to an emergency room visit where doctors recognized a potential oversight over the years. By then, she had gained 100 lbs, struggled with uncontrolled cholesterol, stomach ulcers, depression, high blood pressure, and chronic fatigue. Dr. Jaban witnessed her condition worsening over time, with medications addressing symptoms but not providing lasting relief. This journey ultimately led to thyroid cancer and two surgeries. Motivated by this experience, Dr. Jaban dedicated himself to uncovering the root causes of health conditions to halt progression and prevent others from enduring similar stories.
In chiropractic school, Dr. Jaban faced his health challenges at the age of 25, experiencing a rapid physical decline with no apparent cause. Over the next year, he sought answers from various doctors, grappling with fatigue, joint pain, and low testosterone. At a functional medicine conference, he encountered a doctor who suggested Lyme disease as a possible cause. Testing confirmed Dr. Jaban’s positive diagnosis, marking the beginning of his journey to learn about and treat Lyme disease. After consulting with multiple doctors and trying various treatments, he found relief and has remained symptom-free for over 10 years.
Dr. Jaban’s extensive professional and postdoctoral training spans True Cellular Healing, Chiropractic Plus Kinesiology, Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Acupuncture, Bio-Resonance Therapy, Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT), Nutrition, Rehabilitation, Functional Medicine, and Blood Laboratory Analysis. His continuous education includes courses on Mastering Functional Blood Chemistry, Mastering Thyroid, Mastering Brain Chemistry, and training with experts in Lyme disease and parasitology.

Julie Matthews is a Certified Nutrition Consultant that holds a masters degree in medical nutrition. She is a globally respected nutrition expert, published researcher, award-winning author, and inspirational educator.
Her guidance is backed by over twenty years of clinical experience and scientific research with complex neurological and physiological needs; particularly autism. She has lectured in more than 60 cities across three continents, been on television, radio, newspaper, blogs/podcasts and more, and published scientifically referenced articles in journals and websites. Julie’s been featured by Price-Pottenger, honored by the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, sits on two scientific advisory boards including the Autism Nutrition Research Center.
Julie is co-author of “gold standard” scientific research published in the journal Nutrients, demonstrating the efficacy of diet and nutrition intervention for autism spectrum disorder and a study on “The Effectiveness of 13 Therapeutic Diets for Autism” published in the Journal of Personalized Medicine.
Julie is a dynamic speaker that’s educated professionals at trainings for Integrative Medicine for Mental Health, Autism Research Institute/DAN!, Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs, and the MINDD International Forum in Australia. During her early nutrition studies in 2001, Julie discovered that food and nutrition influenced the disorder of autism. She committed to investigate the connections and to explain them to parents and clinicians that can make a difference helping children recover.
Her final research paper at Bauman College became the basis for her award-winning book Nourishing Hope for Autism, which won the gold metal in 2009 for “Most Progressive Health Book.” It explains WHY food and nutrition affects the varied systems and biochemical pathways routinely occurring in autism and HOW to strategically apply a specialized diet to help children heal. After many years in practice, it became evident to Julie that the dietary approaches that helped the most difficult clients, were useful in healing most chronic conditions.
And because autism is one of the most complex disorders (with underlying immune/autoimmune, digestive, neurological, and metabolic dysfunction issues), it provides a unique perspective on chronic disease that helps Julie teach others to see hidden connections between symptoms, circumstances, and effective healing dietary strategies for a wide variety of complex conditions.
She founded Nourishing Hope in 2005 to stand for the efficacy of improved diet and nutrition for autism, and the BioIndividual Nutrition Institute in 2014 to share the synthesis of her knowledge with cutting edge clinicians to help improve their effectiveness with therapeutic diets. Julie has concurrently been focused on Nutrition for Healthy Pregnancy and Baby, putting all of her research, knowledge, and experience into teaching prevention/promoting health. She’s created a program and website at NutritionForPregnancy.com.
After twenty total years of dedication, Julie’s global Nourishing Hope Community comprises families in over 146 nations, and BioIndividual Nutrition Practitioners in 48 nations.

This sparked his passion for researching and promoting a toxin-free lifestyle. Warren discovered solutions to his health struggles through his healing journey and years of research. He realized that many illnesses and chronic conditions people face are caused by exposure to toxins in our environment, food, and everyday products. Warren’s mission is to help others achieve healthy and happy toxin-free living. He believes that toxins should be “canceled” and that everyone can live healthier by making simple changes to their daily routines. As a father, he understands the importance of teaching children how to live toxin-free lives.
He has made it his goal to educate families on the dangers of toxins and the benefits of a toxin-free lifestyle.

In 2007, LeMignot was honored by The Associated Press in the hard news feature category for her investigative report entitled "Tracking Your Security." Her investigation uncovered that bomb-sniffing dogs at Chicago's Metra train stations could not detect the passing scent of explosives. As a result of that story, Illinois passed a law that requires dog handlers to undergo 180 hours of rigorous training and to pass a new state exam. The report also earned LeMignot a Peter Lisagor Award in the in-depth reporting or series category and a Herman Kogan Award from the Chicago Bar Association.
Le Mignot has won several other industry awards: a local and national Emmy for her breaking news reports on the Blue Line derailment (2008); a local and national Emmy Award for her breaking news reports about the death of Pope John Paul II (2005); the Illinois Broadcasters Association Silver Dome Award (1997); two Peter Lisagor Awards (1994 and 1996) and the National Association of Black Journalists Leadership Award, while a student (1993).

Catharine started ENERGYbits after her sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and advised by her oncologist that an alkaline diet would help her heal. Catharine immediately sprung into action to help her sister research alkaline foods and in the process she discovered algae.
When Catharine learned that algae was the most alkaline, plant-based, nutrient-dense food in the world and had been used for fifty years in Asia to improve health and longevity, she knew she had discovered something big (and yes, her sister fully recovered - thanks for asking). As Catharine dug into the science of algae, she learned it had 64% protein, 40 vitamins/minerals and was endorsed by the United Nations and NASA as the most nutrient dense food in the world. She also discovered there were 100,000 studies documenting its long list of benefits and it was the most sustainable, eco-friendly food crop in the world. And yet algae remained virtually unknown outside of Asia. How could this be possible?
Catharine knew algae could be a game changer for our health, our children and our world if she could only convince people it wasn't weird. And so ENERGYbits was born. It took Catharine ten years to bring algae into the mainstream and build ENERGYbits into a national company. We're glad she finally did, because now you and your family can benefit from our naturally grown, toxin-free, Non-GMO algae tablets too. A handful will help satisfy your hunger, help give you steady energy, and help ensure your nutritional needs are met. All this from a food that has one ingredient, no chemicals, caffeine, sugar or processing and is the most sustainable, safe, eco-friendly, crop in the world - algae.
Your body and Mother Earth say thank you. And we do too.

Michael Collins is a former sugar addict and takes this addiction very seriously. For the past 30 years he has not consumed sugar in any form – at least not intentionally. His interest in sugar addiction began in the early days of his recovery from substance use disorder. As he weaned himself off other substances he noticed that his relationship to, and his consumption of, sugar was beginning to resemble his other addictions.
Curious and concerned, he started to talk about this with his recovery buddies. This led him to decide to quit sugar with the help of some amazing mentors. After many years of successfully starting, scaling, and selling online businesses, Michael decided that what really made him happy was helping people break their addictions of all kinds and come out the other side happier and healthier.

Lisa Jendza Is a Business Coach and a Holistic Health Coach. Freedom Kitchen transcends time and space to offer cooking classes and education to those ready to eat real food. It is a place for health enthusiasts to gather.

Kids are able to understand what nutrient dense means, the meaning of low glycemic index, and how to feel their best.
It might surprise you, but after kids learn about food dyes and the alternative to use “super-food-coloring” they say no to chemicals in their food! They want to have options and healthy choices.
It seems so simple, yet somehow we forgot. Will you join us in the kitchen to live like the future matters?
Freedom Kitchen is a place to gather, to nourish and to love. And this kids’ cooking program was created with love, from Freedom Kitchen to yours.

Check Out Ms Sue's Parenting Course: https://bit.ly/TranscendingYourTriggers 10 ways to Connect with your Child: http://eepurl.com/dqgrRP Key points: * It is important to spend lots of time with our families.

We love to play Legos together, play with Pokémon cards and chess and be outdoors. * Find things that you guys love to do and exercise. Remember the fake foods that you eat can make you agitated and stressed, so focus on all the rainbow fruits and veggies and eat as many as you can in a day. * Make gratitude and playing outside in nature a part of your everyday routine. It helps you focus on what is going on all the good things, not the bad things and helps you de-stress.

Key points:
So remember Dr Gator’s key points. If we keep our gut health, we can keep our bodies healthy. So to heal the gut we need to follow the 5 R program:
1. Remove artificial, fake, junk food, sugar and processed food.
2. Replace with real foods that feed our bacteria, like eating the rainbow with lots of fruits and veggies.
3. Repopulate our gut with food with plenty of good bugs like sauerkraut and kimchee.
4. Repair your gut with lots of bone broth and foods with nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin D, fish oil and more.
5. Rebalance your body by lowering stress by incorporating a stress management technique into their daily routine to keep the damaging hormones far away from them…love meditating and prayer…and sure we are taking time to go outside, play, exercise and enjoy nature and make sure we are sleeping well, to recharge our and rebalance our bodies for the next day! And remember to always detoxify your body with food and with Epsom salt baths and keeping toxins and chemicals away from you and your home!
