When Jace Yawnick was diagnosed with cancer at 25, he could’ve given up. Instead, he built a platform that’s helping thousands of cancer patients. In this inspiring episode of “The Dr. Hyman Show,” Jace opens up to me about his fight and why early detection matters. We also explore the role of metabolic health, personalized care, and the crucial connection between nutrition and cancer treatment.
In this episode, we discuss:
Jace’s unexpected diagnosis at age 25 with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the symptoms he experienced, and the emotional challenges of facing a life-threatening illness at such a young age
The crucial role that family, friends, social media, and even strangers played in supporting Jace emotionally, mentally, and practically during his treatment.
Jace’s focus on eating clean, organic, nutrient-dense foods during treatment, and the mixed messages from his doctors regarding nutrition’s role in cancer recovery.
Advancements like liquid biopsies and their potential to detect cancer early, empowering people to take a proactive approach to health.
Jace’s decision to establish a nonprofit to support other cancer patients, focusing on financial aid and fostering connections between survivors and those currently battling cancer.

I have the greatest empathy and respect for this champion, but less than 20 minutes in, I just have to turn this off. My husband endured the same horrific trauma during treatment for tonsil cancer in 2029 at MD Anderson. It was the most terrifying, soul crushing ten weeks of our lives, and then the following three months continued to get even worse. Radiation damage does not stop when the treatments end. Chemo literally almost kills you. 106 degree temperature, insane pain, inability to swallow, nausea. On and on. Mike is five years cancer free praise God. But the damage to his mouth and throat is permanent. Cancer and treatment is so brutal and as I just realized, traumatizing even five years out. God bless this young man.

[@amysantos-qh4id]

Is your husband in remission ?

[@amandayoung4398]

Thank you for sharing 🙏abd I am pleased to hear your husband is now cancer free. My young daughter is about to start chemo and the side effects terrify me 😢

@ yes, for five years now. We make an annual trek to MD Anderson for a CT, labs, CXR and f/u with his radiation oncologist.

I've been following Jace on Instagram for a few months now. He's so wise and articulate in the way he expresses how he's feeling and what he's going through. His smile and his kindness are so endearing. I say a prayer for his complete recovery every time I see a post.

Incredible insights! It reminds me of what I learned in Health and Beauty Mastery by Dr. Julian Bannett. That book reveals hidden truths about the industry that completely reshaped how I think about health and wellness.

[@kaylacurtis111]

i heard about that book before i might buy it now

[@kellio8087]

No one should have to pay for life saving medical bills if they are not rich. Stress makes it harder for the body to handle the depletion of cancer treatments and everyone is stressed during that time.

[@michelenichele294]

Went through it myself. Don’t understand people who feel the need to go on and on about it. For me I just wanted the treatment, and get on with my life. I don’t understand cancer survivors who inflict their pity stories on anyone within earshot. As for support groups, I worked full time, took care of my family, and had endless treatments. So I didn’t have the time. And I didn’t feel the need for extra support. I guess they’re fine for those who need more support.

[@michelenichele294]

@@richardzakh7209 Guess what Dick! My husband died of cancer and he didn’t want pity parties while he was wasting away. He’’d say “Some people look at me like I’m already dead.” He wanted to be treated by people normally. He enjoyed having visitors, but didn’t want visits to be a discussion of how many days he had left to live. Thank goodness his many friends treated him perfectly.

We need to understand why cancer is rising in young people and people are getting diagnosed at younger ages.

[@BBB-pe3ip]

Overly processed food, vaping (both nicotine and THC), smoking, lack of exercise, overeating, COVID, chronic stress

[@lisag18]

Young people smoke a LOT of substances. Marijuana, vape crap. Its not just processed food, it's what these people inhale

[@Kellysher]

IMO, it’s the massive failure of our government in protecting us from the chemicals we are now consuming. Our food supply is toxic. Plastics are killing us and the planet. You have to do a lot of research to find skin care, detergents, shampoos without toxic ingredients. This is why we are a sick society living shorter lifespans from our parents. Ya capitalism without guardrails!

[@mariejones7136]

[@lisag18]

I do wish Dr. Hyman had asked what his lifestyle was like. It helps for context. He said he worked. Some of us work 3 jobs and dont get cancer. Was he a pothead? Did he smoke anything? What was his diet like? How much sleep? Any supplementation? Hyman said he was ripped, did he take steroids?

[@Kellysher]

Good lord. My wife got cancer and people insinuate it was “something” she had done. She was a pretty health person. Good diet, good exercise. Cancer can just happen. You may not want to hear it, but it does.

[@theresehazen528]

​@@KellysherI honestly believe that those kinds of questions are out of fear for themselves, not out of judging the person who had the cancer. Life is crazy. Let's all be gentle with each other.

[@KJSvitko]

It is just crazy that Doctors do not get nutrition training in Medical schools. Every doctor visit should include some nutrition discussion. The majority of the population is over weight or obese leading to high blood pressure, heart disease and cancer. Schools and hospital cafeterias should be leading the way to good health by setting the example of what is a healthy meal and teaching people what to eat and why.. Every person in the hospital for heart disease should have a nutrition class before being checked out from the hospital with follow up education and training in nutrition. Medicare and Medicaid should require patient nutrition education as part of their standard of care. Nutrition information should be run on the hospital TV channel. Prevention needs to be emphasized to every patient. After the fact pills and surgery don't deal with the ROOT CAUSE.

Unfortunately nutrition with cancer centers include the enemy. SUGAR

Thank you so much for this, I really needed to hear this. I have been battling cancer for over two years now. I thought I was lucky it was always caught at Stage 1, none told me stage 1 can become metastatic, do now I fight. I have mUC high grade in my lungs now, this is just another chance to recreate myself. You are right, I e never mourned my pre cancer self, but to be honest my post cancer self is a much nicer person with the soft heart God granted me.

Cancer CAN NOT use fat or protein for fuel. It can only use glucose and glutamine. Get into ketosis, body use ketone for fuel, and start to starve cancer. Look up, Dr. Thomas Seyfried's Press-Pulse Protocol.
