Episode 117: Dr. Izabella Wentz, PharmD
In a recent episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Dr. Kien Vuu had the pleasure of interviewing Brad and Maggie Jones, a couple who embarked on an extraordinary journey of healing from cancer through fasting, self-advocacy, and love. In this blog post, we’ll dive deeper into their story and discuss key takeaways that can be applied to anyone looking to optimize their health.
Fasting as a Key Component of Cancer Recovery:
Trace minerals are essential for our bodies to function at their best. Sadly, modern-day soil is often depleted of these crucial nutrients. By supplementing with trace minerals, you can ensure that your body has everything it needs to build muscle, produce testosterone, and maintain overall health.
Vitamin DAKE and Optimized Workouts
Throughout their journey, Brad and Maggie experimented with various fasting protocols to help manage Maggie’s glucose ketone index. They started with a one-day fast every Monday and gradually increased the duration over time. Their fasting regimen eventually included a three- to five-day fast each month and a longer seven- to ten-day fast annually. Fasting not only played a crucial role in Maggie’s recovery but also contributed to the couple’s overall health and well-being.
Self-Advocacy and the Importance of a Support System:
Surprisingly, many common foods contain anti-nutrients, which can actually strip your body of essential minerals. Some examples of these foods include kale, spinach, and nuts. By avoiding or limiting these foods in your diet, you can prevent nutrient deficiencies and maintain optimal health.

Brad and Maggie also emphasized the importance of self-advocacy and having a strong support system during their journey. They shared how pushing back on conventional medical advice and researching alternative therapies ultimately led them to the fasting protocol that became central to their recovery. Their story highlights the significance of being proactive and informed about one’s health, and surrounding oneself with people who provide love and support.
The Role of Gratitude and Love:
For Brad and Maggie, gratitude and love became the foundation of their healing process. They expressed their gratitude for the community that supported them and focused on fostering a loving relationship with each other. Embracing love and gratitude can have profound effects on physical and mental health, fostering a positive mindset and a strong will to overcome adversity.
The inspiring story of Brad and Maggie Jones serves as a powerful reminder of the role fasting, self-advocacy, and love can play in healing from cancer and optimizing one’s health.
