The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show

When her toddler was diagnosed with leukemia, Season Johnson refused to just follow orders.
In this episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, Sylvie Beljanski speaks with Season Johnson about advocating for her son through three years of chemotherapy, the moment a top pediatric oncologist laughed at her questions about nutrition, and how that experience became her life's mission.

What if the mind is not just a supporting player in healing, but the stage upon which healing happens?
In this episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, Sylvie Beljanski speaks with Avinoam Lerner, a cancer and trauma recovery specialist and clinical hypnotherapist, about his Mindful Remission approach to cancer care.
Drawing on 25+ years of experience and the science of psychoneuroimmunology, Lerner explains how the subconscious mind, chronic stress, and old trauma patterns influence immune function—and how clinical hypnotherapy can help patients navigate treatment with less fear and greater agency.

Could the health of your mouth be a window into your cancer risk?
In this episode of The Beljanski Cancer Talk Show, Sylvie Beljanski speaks with Dr. Gerry Curatola, biologic dentist and founder of Revitin, about the powerful connection between oral health and cancer.
