Hi Jimi!
I'm excited to share a follow-up interview today with stage IV melanoma survivor
Johann Ilgenfritz.
Johann's story is incredible.
In 2011, he had a heart attack, and six months later, he was diagnosed with melanoma. Radiation treatments failed, and Johann's cancer spread; then, doctors told him he had about twelve months to live.
Most people would have accepted that prognosis. Johann didn't.
He started researching diet and lifestyle, and this changed the way he viewed disease. Instead of seeing cancer as the cause, he understood it was a symptom of a body under stress.
Johann radically changed his life and focused on simple foundations: plant-based nutrition, reducing stress, and restoring his health from the inside out.
Over 14 years later, Johann is alive and thriving!
Johann is also the founder of UK Health Radio, a 24-hour health and wellness station with a worldwide audience.
Johann's story is powerful and encouraging... He has so much wisdom to share. Enjoy!
