We interviewed Season Johnson FMTP about the KICKcancER movement and using real food, real health and real life before and during pediatric cancer treatment. You can watch the replay below.

In This Interview
Listen in to this inspiring and insightful conversation to hear about Season’s five pillars for thriving with cancer, which are:
- Nutrition: What we put in our bodies either fights or feeds disease. The majority of cancer cells use only sugar for fuel, although healthy cells can use either fat or sugar.
- Essential oils: Certain essential oils can help mitigate symptoms such as nausea, neuropathy, headaches, fatigue and appetite.
- Detoxification: It’s important to flush dead tumor waste out of the body because the number one side effect of conventional cancer treatment is secondary cancer.
- Greening your home and environment: Exposure to EMFs and toxic chemicals in everyday personal-care and cleaning products can hamper the body’s ability to heal.
- Self care: Stress from any and all sources (mental, emotional and physiological) can zap the body’s reserves and lower immunity.
About Season Johnson
Season Johnson is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, Founder of The KICKcancER Movement, and a cancer momma who went from having one child with cancer to having thousands all over the world.
After her son was diagnosed with cancer at the age of two, she went through a 3.5 year cancer battle that included daily chemotherapy and hundreds of surgeries.
This propelled her with an unstoppable mission to help others thrive through a cancer diagnosis using real food, supplementation, detoxification, and cleaning up their environment.
She has received the coveted Weston A. Price Foundation Activist Award and the Children’s Health Advocate Award from the Nutritional Therapy Association for her work with pediatric cancer. And in 2019, she received the doTERRA Elevation Award for her dedication to helping families thrive through a cancer diagnosis through her non-profit.
She has had the privilege of being the Health and Wellness Expert for the Oscars and have partnered with the San Fransisco 49’ers, Atlanta Braves, and Washington Nationals in teaching them how to implement natural solutions into their healing protocol.
Through private nutrition coaching, online programs, speaking engagements, and a podcast, she continues to educate and empower others on how they can easily use real food and healthy living principals to achieve lifelong, vibrant health and thrive through a cancer diagnosis.
