Today, Ivelisse sits down with Justin Ballard, founder of Just Hope Healing Center, to share his powerful journey from scientist and Fortune 500 analytics expert to holistic health practitioner after a life-altering illness in 2013. Facing seizures, complex neurological conditions, medication complications, and paralysis, Justin’s path to healing led him beyond conventional approaches and into a deeper exploration of the body, mind, and spirit.

Justin unpacks his go-to health practice and explains how supporting the body’s electrical and cellular potential may aid in stress recovery and overall function. He also shares how a personal encounter with Jesus and a practice he calls “breathing for Jesus” helped him break free from dependence on pain medications and rediscover hope.

The conversation dives into the world of frequency-based healing. He openly addresses skepticism, the placebo effect, and the importance of seeking true root causes of illness.

Most importantly, Justin offers a message of encouragement for those facing cancer and chronic illness: healing is not just physical. He challenges listeners to consider the impact of emotional stress, environmental exposures, and spiritual health—highlighting the roles of forgiveness, faith, and surrender in the healing journey.

This episode invites you to think differently about health, ask deeper questions, and explore a more integrative path forward.

Today, Ivelisse welcomes naturopathic doctor and integrative oncology expert Dr. Jessa Landmann to discuss cancer-related fatigue and her book, Beyond Cancer Fatigue: A Path to Reclaiming Energy.

Dr. Landmann explains why fatigue is a common yet often overlooked survivorship challenge with limited conventional solutions, emphasizing a proactive, root-cause, and individualized approach. She explores key biological drivers like inflammation and muscle loss from treatment, along with emotional factors such as trauma, fear of recurrence, and negative self-talk—encouraging listeners to “talk to yourself like your best friend.”

The conversation offers practical, holistic strategies to restore energy, including gradual movement to rebuild strength, anti-inflammatory nutrition rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, omega-3s, and adequate protein, and comprehensive thyroid testing beyond standard labs.

Dr. Landmann also addresses hormone-related changes, the importance of connection, faith, and purpose, and shares evidence-based sleep support tools such as CBT-I, screening for sleep disorders, light exposure, aromatherapy, exercise, and acupuncture.
