In 2017 Cort Davies was diagnosed with one of the rarest forms of cancer on Earth called a malignant paraganglioma. He was given just three years to live. Instead of folding under the intense stress of having late-stage cancer, Cort set out on a mission to save his own life. After 7 surgeries, half of his bladder removed, and almost being paralyzed, Cort realized cancer and his journey were a gift and that his mindset and his resolve to survive was paramount in healing. He decided to translate this gift into a Docuseries, a TED Talk, and a cancer foundation to help educate cancer patients around the world, how to develop a healing mindset, and how to change destructive habits that could hinder their ability to heal. His goal is to help initiate healing for thousands of cancer patients worldwide. 

In this inspirational conversation based in part on Cort’s TED Talk - The missing link in evolving cancer care - Cort and Freddie go deep on the causes of cancer, the best modalities for healing, trusting in yourself, learning from cancer thrivers, and so much more. For anyone living with a cancer diagnosis or supporting loved ones, this actionable episode will provide guidance, encouragement, and inspiration for your journey. You will want to listen to this one again and again!
