40 Days to Transformation Through Drawing, Notes and Guided Journal Entries - https://a.co/d/18w6P06

A life-altering cancer diagnosis after a 30-year career in healthcare administration led Jane Rubin to find her voice—and her ancestors—through the power of historical fiction.

In this episode of Real Things Living, host Brigitte Cutshall connects with two-time cancer survivor and author Jane Rubin. Jane opens up about her journey with the BRCA gene mutation, explaining how a breast cancer diagnosis actually saved her life by revealing a high genetic risk for other cancers.

This health battle ignited a passion for tracing her family history, leading her to discover "Tilly Mathilda," a relative who died of a "woman's disease" in 1925 and whose name had been forgotten by time.

Jane transformed these discoveries into the Gilded City trilogy, blending meticulous medical history—from the "golden window" of WWI ambulance services to the early days of reproductive rights—with the emotional resilience of the women who lived through it.

When Western medicine failed and he was told he wouldn't survive, Greg turned to critical thinking and ancient wisdom to discover a natural protocol that reversed his "incurable" conditions.

In this episode, Brigitte Cutshall talks with Greg the Hydrogen Man about his decade-long mission to uncover the truth about molecular hydrogen and water purity.

After working in the medical field for 20 years and finding no answers for his own debilitating autoimmune and heart issues, Greg developed a unique health protocol based on Japanese medical research and nature's own healing properties.

He explains how molecular hydrogen acts as a selective antioxidant to combat oxidative stress and why the quality of hydrogen production—avoiding cheap imitations—is critical for real recovery.
