Stage 4 Cancer Thriver: Using Metabolic Therapies to Prevent & Treat Cancer | Maggie Jones (#546)

The month Maggie Jones (IG: @cancervme) turned 40 she was diagnosed with terminal cancer and received a prognosis of less than a year. One year later, she was cancer-free.

Maggie has dedicated her dramatically-prolonged life to sharing the evidence-based treatments that so dramatically improved her survival and quality of life.

She and her filmmaker husband are the force behind an award-winning docuseries featuring some of the leading scientists and practitioners on the metabolic theory of cancer and associated therapies. Be sure to see CANCER/EVOLUTION during the world premiere in September.

I really appreciate Maggie being so open and vulnerable sharing her cancer success story – it’s packed with information and inspiration. Don’t miss this!
