🚨 Just one workout can reduce cancer cell growth by up to 30%, new study shows

Here’s what you need to know.

Yes, a single workout may be enough to spark powerful anti-cancer effects, according to new research from Edith Cowan University.

The study found that a single session of resistance training or high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can increase levels of myokines—muscle-released proteins known to inhibit cancer growth—by up to 30%.

Conducted on breast cancer survivors, the study revealed that despite the challenges posed by treatment, participants showed a measurable and immediate increase in these cancer-fighting proteins after just one session of exercise.

Lead researcher Francesco Bettariga emphasized that exercise is more than a fitness strategy—it’s a form of medicine. He also found that consistent exercise that improves body composition, particularly by reducing fat and building lean muscle, may lower inflammation linked to cancer progression and recurrence. Bettariga cautioned against relying solely on diet for weight loss, stressing that preserving muscle is key to producing myokines and fighting inflammation.

The findings add to a growing body of evidence that physical activity should be a standard part of cancer treatment and recovery plans.

Iron imbalance—especially iron overload—is often silent at first, but over time, it can manifest across multiple systems. Here are common signs to watch for:

Energy + Mood
• Fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
• Brain fog, low motivation, or irritability
• Sleep issues (especially early waking)

Skin + Hair
• Hair thinning or loss
• Skin hyperpigmentation (bronze or grayish tone)
• Premature aging or dull skin

Hormones + Metabolism
• Blood sugar imbalances
• Thyroid dysfunction (especially low T3)
• PCOS, irregular periods, or early menopause

Gut + Inflammation
• Bloating, constipation, or food sensitivities
• Leaky gut and histamine issues
• Chronic or recurrent infections (gut or sinus)

Liver + Detox
• Elevated liver enzymes
• Poor alcohol or medication tolerance
• Heavy metal buildup (e.g., mercury)

Immune + Autoimmunity
• Joint pain or inflammation
• Recurring viral or bacterial infections
• Diagnosed autoimmune conditions

Other Clues
• High ferritin with “normal” iron labs
• Iron anemia that doesn’t respond to supplementation
• Family history of hemochromatosis or metabolic disorders

Iron Imbalance Patterns to Know

Pattern 1: “Looks Like a Deficiency” Trap
• Low ferritin
• Normal or high serum iron or transferrin saturation
Iron isn’t being stored—it’s stuck in tissues. Often driven by inflammation, stress, or low ceruloplasmin.

Pattern 2: The Iron Lockdown
• High ferritin
• Low serum iron + low transferrin saturation
Classic sign of inflammation. The body has iron—but it’s locked away and unusable.

Pattern 3: The “Everything’s Normal” Lie
• Low hemoglobin or RBCs
• “Normal” ferritin, iron, and saturation
The labs say it’s fine, but your cells are struggling to access or use iron properly.

Rest: Your body's secret weapon for thriving! When you take time to rest, your body gets to repair, recharge, and rejuvenate.

Quality rest boosts your energy, strengthens your immune system, and sharpens your focus.

Here are some effective and practical ways to weave rest into your daily routine:

1. **Set a bedtime ritual**: Aim for consistent sleep schedules—going to bed and waking up at the same time daily trains your body to rest better. Include relaxing activities like reading or meditation before bed.

2. **Power naps**: A quick 15-20 minute nap during the day can recharge your energy without making you groggy.

3. **Mindful moments**: Dedicate small chunks of your day to pause and breathe deeply. It helps your mind rest while keeping you focused.

4. **Screen-free time**: Take regular breaks from screens, especially before bed. It’ll help you unwind and avoid overstimulating your brain.

5. **Schedule self-care**: Prioritize time to do things you enjoy, like a warm bath, yoga, or journaling—activities that relax both body and mind.

6. **Meal-time mindfulness**: Use meals as an opportunity to disconnect, chew slowly, and truly savor the flavors.

7. **Movement as rest**: Incorporate gentle movement like stretching or walking; it’s restful for your mind while energizing your body.

The key is consistency and intention. A little rest sprinkled throughout your day adds up to big benefits! Which of these do you think you'd like to try?

Detoxing: The ultimate reboot for your body!

When toxins pile up, they can block your cells from soaking up the nutrients they crave.

A good detox clears the clutter, letting your body absorb vitamins, minerals, and goodness like a sponge.

Think of it as hitting the reset button for better energy, glowing skin, and peak performance!

Have a seat!!!
Don't cry like me 😎

An amazing testimony shared by
Mindi Softbread Conner

This is my back. My first surgery was when I was 13, my second was 18 and my third was 20. Many of you know, but others don't. What many of you don't know is that after turning 40 things got worse pretty quickly and my pain got worse than ever. After seeing a couple of neurosurgeons, my options were pain control or another surgery. If I choose surgery, they would remove my lower rods, place longer rods that extend to the upper rods and then place uncommon screws in my hips to hold all the rods. 😳 NO THANK YOU!! There HAD to be a better option. Started seeing a pain management doctor every 3-4 months for steroid shots and nerve burns. This went on for about a year and a half. It stinked and hated it. The worst part was it didn't even fix anything, it just masked the pain. I was supposed to get my shots at the end of September 2022 but didn't have time to get them before we went on fall break. I was complaining about my back hurting and was dreading my trip. That's when I was gifted my first x39 case. I have a small sticker the size of a twenty five cent coin that could help. I was super skeptical, but desperate. On the plus side, I wasn't putting anything in my body. I was told it's light therapy that will get your body's stem cells working. 🧐hmmmm... Ok I guess we’ll see what happens!

So I started them the next day and this is what started happening..

Week one: My mental confusion is gone.

Week 2: Energy levels held throughout the day! No more afternoon accidents for me!

Week 3: My back pain has improved a little. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew something was going on and needed more patches.

Week Four: a high and dark lunar was now lighter and was under my skin, the lump in my breast disappeared and I was exercising without needing to energize myself first.

Week 5: When I rolled over in bed, my back felt stable (which I realize sounds weird, but I have to be VERY careful when I roll over and make sure the top of me rolls with the bottom or feeling SO MUCH pain !!!!! )

Week 6: My ATM is gone....... HOW STRANGE!!! G O R I N G !

Week 7: Went to a music recital and sat in a folding metal chair for 2 hours and my back did NOT hurt! Finally starting to sleep better too! Usually that happens much faster for most people, but it took me 7 weeks.

Week 8: I was able to stand up during praise and worship during church (which lasts about 15 minutes) and it didn’t hurt! I didn't have to lean on the chair in front of me or sit down!!. Also, during my workout my lungs opened and now I can breathe deeper than I had in YEARS.

All I was looking for was relief for the pain in my back and all these other wonderful things started happening!. Why? Because stem cells are AWESOME! Did I mention I went to the doctor to get a stem cell shot?. Yes I did and it was going to cost me $5000 MINIMUM NO GUARANTEE!!!. Thank you... step. Life just keeps getting better! This September we returned to Florida for Fall Break and I was chasing 4 teens 20+ miles a day through theme parks, riding roller coasters all day PAINLESS and sustained energy all day! When I have setbacks (because with a back like mine it's going to pinch and there will be setbacks) I'm not afraid because I know it will get better and I know I will be able to control my pain with patches. Thanks to LifeWave, I haven't gone back to the doctor for pain management once since I started. ❤️

I have been using them for 13 months and want to share them with everyone. ❤️ pain just sucks!. Chronic pain sucks even more. The health issues are taking a toll

Are you ready to feel better too? Are you tired of that afternoon crash? Do you want to sleep better? How about reducing fine lines and wrinkles?

Just because we're getting older doesn't mean we have to look or feel like we do!. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
