Everyone!

In this episode, I introduce you to Steve Olsen.

Steve is a cancer coach and educator. After attending the University of Michigan Dental School he taught for two years and also was involved in research. He retired from dentistry in 2020. Life handed him a challenge in 2023 when he was diagnosed with two types of cancer. He choose to take this as a challenge and used the principles of optimal performance he had developed while helping clients achieve their goals. He applied these principles to boosting my immune system to handle the challenges of cancer.

His approach is grounded in being calm, being properly hydrated, being positive in your self talk and being focused on what matters most in one's area of passion and purpose.

Today he speaks about:

Cancer diagnosis and approach to boosting immune system through mindset and disciplines. (0:11)

Cancer diagnosis and the power of positive thinking. (4:44)

Cancer diagnosis and resilience, with emphasis on gratitude and self-sustainability. (8:41)

Coping with cancer and living in the moment. (13:50)

Medical professionals' influence and patients' motivations for healing. (17:35)
