Journey of a Cancer Survivor

As I sit down to share my story, I can't help but reflect on the incredible journey that led me from being a two-time cancer survivor to becoming an IHP. My name is Joya, and I am the founder of Enjoyably Healthy LLC, where I empower individuals, especially cancer survivors, to embrace holistic health and lead fulfilling lives. Join me as I recount my battle with cancer, the transformative changes I made in my life, and how I now use my experiences to guide others towards a path of holistic healing.

A Battle with Breast Cancer - Round One (2016)

In 2016, I was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer. The treatments were intense, including a double mastectomy, reconstructive surgery, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy and they lasted well over a year. Despite the hardships, I emerged victorious and was declared cancer-free. Little did I know that my true journey was just beginning.

Ignorance and the Return of Cancer

After the first declaration of “no evidence of disease” I tried picking up the pieces of my life. All I wanted to do was get back to a normal life. I refused to let cancer become my identity and pushed down any thoughts about what happened to me.

However, living anti-cancer was not on my radar other than taking the prescription pill and seeing my oncologist for a quick check up once a year. Six years later, the unthinkable happened – the same cancer returned to the same breast. Furthermore, fear and uncertainty enveloped me, but this time, I was determined to explore every avenue of healing.

The Power of Holistic Healing

Faced with recurrence, I chose a different path. Integrating holistic healing into my treatment protocol alongside immunotherapy proved to be transformative. Importantly, within four months, the cancer dissolved without the need for prescribed chemotherapy and radiation. Undoubtedly, holistic lifestyle changes, such as adopting an organic, whole-food, plant-based diet, engaging in deep spiritual practices, emotional healing, and detoxifying my environment, played a crucial role in my success.

Embracing Holistic Living as a Cancer Survivor

My journey towards holistic living became a turning point. Nutrition, spirituality, and emotional well-being emerged as powerful tools for overall health. Consequently, through intentional changes in my diet, a deepened spiritual practice, and the release of past emotional wounds, I felt a profound sense of empowerment and control over my well-being.

After this miraculous turnaround in the second diagnosis I had a new outlook on life. My passion for holistic health became an obsession and I have not looked back.
