Welcome to Thrive Through and Beyond Cancer, the podcast that offers hope in the healing, and shares personal experiences, self-care solutions, health tips, and the support of a community - people just like you. I'm Season Johnson - a functional nutritional therapy practitioner whose son was diagnosed with cancer right before his 3rd birthday. My job was to keep people healthy, to help them fight disease. So when my own son was diagnosed with this scary disease it was so humbling. But rather than becoming a victim I began researching, upleveling my knowledge, my mindset and chose to serve others through our own cancer journey. And this show is an opportunity to find, and share, strength through our situations. You'll hear from health professionals, innovative thinkers, dynamic personalities, and those who have learned to live life to the fullest - despite their diagnosis. We will raise some questions, find some answers, shed a few tears, share more than a few laughs, and give each other the motivation to get through one more dayevery single day.

Ep. 147 – Is Bread Really the Problem? The Truth About Freshly Milled Grains with Sue Becker
Tuesday, 10 November, 2026
What if bread isn't the enemy? What if the bread we've been avoiding isn't the same bread that once nourished generations of families? For years, I've encouraged families navigating cancer to be mindful of bread and other processed carbohydrates. But this conversation challenged me to take a closer look at what we're actually eating and whether all bread deserves the same reputation. In this episode, I'm joined by Sue Becker, food scientist, founder of Bread Beckers, and a mother of nine who has spent more than 35 years teaching families how to make bread using freshly milled whole grains. Sue shares how milling her own flour transformed the way she fed her family and why she believes the shift toward commercially processed flour changed the nutritional value of our bread. We explore the nutrients found in whole grains, the differences between freshly milled flour and store-bought bread, and how fiber supports digestion and gut health. But what makes this conversation especially meaningful is Sue's personal journey through colorectal cancer. She opens up about her diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, and how homemade bread became a source of nourishment and comfort during her recovery. We also talk about gluten, sourdough, choosing the right grains, and how to get started milling flour at home. And throughout our conversation, we come back to something close to my heart: God's design for food and the importance of bringing joy, nourishment, and connection back to the table. Whether you've avoided bread for years or simply want to understand the difference between processed flour and freshly milled grains, I hope this episode encourages you to approach food with more curiosity, wisdom, and gratitude.
