Today I have the great pleasure of sharing an interview I did with my dear friend and fellow cancer survivor Suzy Griswold, founder of HealingStrong.

Suzy was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2009. Three months after surgery and radiotherapy, the cancer spread to her lymph nodes. When chemotherapy was recommended, Suzy began investigating alternative, natural and non-toxic cancer treatments and discovered the Gerson Therapy and the power of radical life change and faith. Eighteen months later she was cancer free!

In September 2013, with a team of big-hearted volunteers, Suzy organized a faith-based holistic cancer conference called HealingStrong, and asked me to speak and emcee it, which was an incredible honor. The conference was a really special gathering of like-minded survivors and thrivers that birthed a big idea.

Three months later, Suzy started a HealingStrong a free monthly support group in the Atlanta area with a focus on education, encouragement and sharing empowering resources to help patients take control of their life and health.

The HealingStrong support group model is about rebuilding the body, restoring the soul, and renewing the spirit. In the last seven years, HealingStrong groups have been founded in hundreds of cities and is now the largest network of holistic cancer support groups in the world. And it's still free.

I'm a huge fan and supporter of HealingStrong and Suzy Griswold is one of my favorite people in the world. She is a truly an amazing person with some wonderful wisdom to share. Enjoy!


In 2003, Chris Wark received a diagnosis of stage IIIC colon cancer. Faced with conventional treatment plans, he made a pivotal choice, opting for a different path centered on nutrition and natural therapies after surgery. That personal journey of healing, which his own doctor initially dismissed, became the foundation for everything that followed. Now, through Chris Beat Cancer: Heal With Nutrition & Natural Therapies, he extends that conversation far beyond his own story. This isn't just a chronicle of the past; it's a living, breathing resource for anyone seeking to understand the powerful role of diet and holistic practices in health. Each episode delves into the practicalities and philosophies of supporting the body's innate resilience. You'll hear detailed discussions on specific foods, lifestyle shifts, and complementary therapies, all framed within Chris's core belief in pursuing a life defined by joy and purpose, not fear. The podcast brings forward a wealth of voices, from medical professionals exploring integrative approaches to everyday people sharing their own healing experiences. It’s a space where questions about prevention and wellness are met with earnest exploration, grounded in Chris's two decades of research and advocacy as a best-selling author and global speaker. Tune in for honest, hopeful dialogues that challenge assumptions and offer tangible strategies for taking an active role in your own well-being.
