“You don’t need hope when things are going well. Hope is grown in times of hopelessness.” -Dr. Shamanie Frykman
Dr. Shamanie Frykman is a chiropractor, breast cancer survivor, and co-founder of Relationship Medicine. She and her husband also run a functional medicine clinic in Wayzata, Minnesota.
Shamanie was diagnosed with stage II breast cancer in 2014. She was a mom of three young kids, going through a painful divorce, and living with a deep fear of dying.
After surgery, Shamanie opted out of chemo, radiation, and tamoxifen. Instead, she chose the Gerson Therapy, focusing on plant-based nutrition and fresh juices, and started working on the emotional side of healing, dealing with fear, anger, and unforgiveness.
I was delighted to learn that my story helped give Shamanie the courage to take a different path after her diagnosis.
In our interview, we talk about Shamanie’s restorative journey through nutrition, healing from emotional trauma, and finding gratitude in the midst of life’s greatest trials.
I’m grateful to Shamanie for sharing her survival story, which was centered on overcoming fear, choosing forgiveness, and relentless faith. I know this interview will encourage you. Enjoy!
