0:00.0	Hey everybody, welcome to Health Theory. Today's guest is Dr. Robert Zimbroski. He's an author,
0:05.3	physician, functional medicine practitioner, and cancer survivor. He has quite literally written
0:11.3	the book on how to rebuild yourself from even the most terrifyingly poor state of health.
0:16.7	And that is the thing, Dr. Z, that I find the most interesting about your story is
0:21.6	having gone through it. And I think anybody else having been diagnosed with cancer,
0:27.8	or the temptation is to give up, or the temptation is to think that the best you can ever hope for
0:33.9	is to maybe get back to zero or some semblance of who you used to be. But you've gone way beyond
0:39.5	where you started. Walk us through that. Like, one, just what exactly happened that landed you
0:45.4	with the cancer diagnosis, and then how did you come out the other side better?
0:50.0	So years ago, I mean, my world imploded, you know, I had an avalanche of stress.
0:56.5	A relationship fellow part was pretty caustic. I had somebody, personally, I had my front-ass

1:11.5	so I didn't express myself. So it was always this gut-wrenching stress that I don't know why I just
1:17.0	didn't go to somebody to get help. It was just like, I'll figure it out. Maybe it was the guy thing.
1:20.2	I'll figure it out. I'll figure it out. And I didn't. Right? And so just like a lot of people do when
1:26.0	they go through major stressors, they self-medicate. I couldn't sleep. I had diarrhea. I was my stomach
1:31.2	was upset. I mean, I was literally out of my mind with stress, so I medicated myself with a
1:36.1	boost to put myself to sleep. I was eating crappy food. I was always on the run. And that didn't work.
1:43.2	From shock. Exactly. And so the smoke cleared the relationship and the house is back to normal.
1:49.2	The person who was stealing the law took care of that. And so my wife seemed to come back in order.
1:57.4	But about 18 months, maybe two years later, I started to lose weight. I didn't feel good.
