The Cancer Killing Food Protocol | Liana Werner-Gray

When I first learned about Liana Werner-Gray’s story, I was deeply moved by the way she used the power of food and nature to reclaim her health. In this episode, I had the chance to dive into her personal journey – from facing a tumor diagnosis to building The Earth Diet and teaching others to use food as medicine. We explore the emotional and spiritual side of healing, the patterns that keep people stuck in processed food cycles, and how something as simple as returning to real, nourishing foods can bring your body back into balance. Liana’s insights are vulnerable, hopeful, and deeply aligned with functional medicine. I hope this episode inspires you to reconnect with the healing intelligence of nature and your own body.

Liana Werner-Gray is a certified nutritionist and four-time global best-selling author including The Earth Diet, Cancer-Free with Food (ranked among the top 100 cancer books of all time, with a foreword by Mark Hyman, MD) and Anxiety-Free with Food.

Her journey to wellness began with personal health struggles—including a tumor, chronic fatigue, digestive issues, parasites, disordered eating, addiction to refined sugar, and weight challenges—all of which she overcame using a food-as-medicine approach. In 2009, she founded The Earth Diet and has now been cancer-free for over 16 years.

Originally from the Australian outback, Liana is now a U.S. citizen and continues her mission to educate and empower others to heal through food.

A few of my favorite things we cover in this episode:
