Why Did I Get Cancer? with Deborah Herlax Enos

The Frequency Network: The Wave

I did all the right things to prevent getting cancer. A certified health coach, nutritionist & wellness speaker, I thought I’d be the last person to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Why did I still get it? Was there something else I could have done to prevent it? A couple years later, I am grateful to be cancer-free and now I’m on a mission to share everything I’ve learned about mitigating risk, managing symptoms, and staying mentally well when bad things happen – even if you “did everything right!”

Why Did I Get Cancer? with Deborah Herlax Enos ·

2026/04/16

I like having a cocktail with girlfriends. And before I was diagnosed with breast cancer, I never gave it a second thought. Alcohol was part of my social life, or I'd have a glass of wine on a flight to chill out.Recent research has made me rethink my choices. Research shared by the Susan G. Komen Center tells us that each cocktail I consume can increase my breast cancer risk by 7%. And 2-3 drinks per day can increase my risk by 20%. I work too damn hard on my health to increase my breast cancer

How often do you hear someone say, "I'm so stressed!"? I hate to admit it, but I say it a few times a week.I used to think being "busy" was part of my identity. Staying busy made me feel like I was achieving important things. But during my cancer journey, I realized I didn't have the energy to stay busy all the time. I began to see how stressed I was from constantly being in motion. Today's podcast guest is Kerstin Lindquist, a QVC host and stress management expert. After witnessing her mother's

Hearing the words, "You have cancer," had to be the biggest shock of my life.My oncologist advised me to go off all hormone treatment immediately. So, within 48 hours, I had a cancer diagnosis, hot flashes, night sweats, brain fog, and painful sex. I'm a pretty happy and upbeat person, but the combination of this diagnosis, along with all of these other important things, was almost too much.

In 2019, my voice was so hoarse that people could hardly hear what I was saying.Along with my hoarse voice, I struggled to swallow food, felt a burning sensation in my chest and on several nights woke up gasping for air I was terrified! After consulting with two different doctors, I finally received a diagnosis: GERD, or gastrointestinal reflux disease. When I heard this, my first thought was, hold on, I am not a middle-aged man!

I've never given much thought to artificial turf.That is, until I read a recent article published by today's podcast guest, Abbie. Artificial turf, created initially by Monsanto and called ChemGrass (by this point, you probably have guessed how I feel about this topic), was perhaps made with good intentions. Kids can play sports throughout the winter. It seems to be good for the environment and doesn't need watering or chemical spraying. In today's episode, our guest explained that the

Have you heard of Pinkwashing?This is what happens when companies promote breast cancer awareness to boost sales while using harmful chemicals in their products. Pinkwashing can also cause what I call the "health halo." You see the pink ribbon, so you think the product is safe. It's like going into Whole Foods and assuming that everything sold there is good for you. Sorry if I just blew your mind.

Have you ever met someone and the hairs on the back of your neck stood up?Have you ever "felt" like something would happen, and then it did? I was on a business trip a few years ago, and as I got into my rental car at night in a big city, I felt a voice say, "Lock the door now!" For a split second, I tried to "reason" with the voice so I could put my handbag down and put on my seatbelt.

One thing I never considered during my experience with cancer was the body's ability to heal itself.Although I was a holistic nutritionist, my focus was primarily on food. When it came to healing, it was best left to medical professionals. After all, how could the body heal without drugs or medical intervention?
