Chris Wark interview with Julie Mason

Some years ago now I worked alongside Julie Mason - she was a true inspiration in how she took a grasp of her healing journey. You can hear her story in this new interview with Chris Wark.

It was back in December 2016 that Julie was diagnosed with stage 3c endometrial cancer, a rare, high-grade tumor. Doctors told her there was no cure and offered palliative chemotherapy and radiation. She was sent home to prepare for hospice care. Julie had other plans. 

For a key part of her healing she credits Chris Warks' Square One Cancer Coaching Program. As Chris Wark writes: "Today (August 2025), Julie is over eight years cancer-free. She’s a cancer coach, speaker, and the founder of Cancer Soothe, where she helps others navigate cancer with tools to calm the mind and strengthen the body. She is a living reminder that cancer can be healed if given the proper nutrients and care".

Chris who healed himself many years ago now set up Chris Beat Cancer which is one of the front runners in integrative cancer care in the States - his podcast is now in the top 0.5% of podcasts worldwide. His book was voted in Yes to Life's best books for those to read about cancer in 2021. I also had the pleasure of a brief conversation with him in one of the Yes to Life Forums we set up - see that here: https://yestolife.org.uk/yestolife_forum/healing-cancer-holistically/ I personally have found many of Chris' interviews hugely useful - but as always do your own research and talk to your medical team.

Anyhow here are the topics in the interview with Julie:

-Julie's stage 3 endometrial cancer diagnosis
-Why me?
-What inspired me to start Chris Beat Cancer 
-You're not selfish, you're prioritizing
-Why creating a new healthy routine is key
-You have the power to change your whole life
-20 Questions for your oncologist
-Julie's purpose after cancer
-Don't be a passenger on the treatment train
-How to be prevention-minded
-Healing happens at home 
-The importance of the Square One Support Group 
-The fundamentals of healing
-Imagine a future where you are alive 
-And more

Exercise is Medicine

I know I go on about exercise in this blog but it really does seem to be one of the areas that can support our health most and get some of the best outcomes. This podcast from the charity Yes to Life is a great overview of some of the latest research plus a look at best practice.

"Prof Rob Newton is a world leader in pioneering Exercise Oncology, destroying previous misconceptions about the need for rest in the face of physically challenging treatments like radiotherapy or chemotherapy, or when faced with common symptoms such as fatigue, low mood or the inability to sleep, with rigorous trial data demonstrating significant improvements in quality of life and substantial cost savings. More recently, the science is demonstrating that exercise really is great medicine for cancer, worthy of equal consideration alongside the best treatments that modern medicine has offer as a means of extending lives".
