1308. Dave Coulier’s Life After Cancer: The Side Effects He's Still Battling & the Hidden Toxins He Avoids

Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description

Hey Heal Squad! Today we're back with Full House's Dave Coulier (yes, Joey Gladstone himself)and this time he's really opening up about what he thinks may have contributed to not one, but two different cancers. Somewhere in the middle of treatment, Dave found himself asking a question most of us never think to ask until it's too late: what have I been exposing my body to, every single day? That one question sent him down a rabbit hole…. reading ingredient labels, questioning everything under his own sink, rethinking what's actually on his plate, and realizing how genuinely overwhelming it is to figure out what "healthy" even means anymore. He breaks it down into a simple 3-step framework for vetting what you bring into your home, and honestly, you'll want to hear exactly what it is. Dave also gets into the surprising products he swapped out first after his diagnosis, and why he believes reducing your toxic load doesn't require perfection,  just a few consistent, everyday swaps, which is exactly what led him to build AWEAR Market in the first place.And perhaps most powerfully, Dave gets candid about where he is today. Months after treatment ended, he opens up about the side effects he's still navigating from chronic throat pain and changes to his voice to the unexpected ways cancer continues to impact his body, his marriage, and everyday life. He also shares the incredible support that carried him through it all: his wife Melissa and the hockey community to the unforgettable day he learned he was cancer-free... the very same day his grandson was born.If you've ever wondered where to start on your own health journey, or what life after cancer really looks like, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.


HEALERS & HEAL LINERS

  • Healthy Living Doesn't Have to Be All-or-Nothing: Dave shares why he and his wife Melissa live by the 80/20 rule, explaining how consistency, not perfection, has helped him build healthier habits that are realistic, sustainable, and guilt-free.

  • Your Home Could Be Impacting Your Health More Than You Think: After cancer, Dave began questioning everything—from toothpaste and deodorant to food dyes, plastics, clothing, and household products. He shares the simple ingredient "red flags" he now looks for and the everyday swaps that helped him feel more in control of his health.

  • The Side Effects Nobody Warns You About: Months after finishing treatment, Dave reveals the lingering effects of cancer—from chronic pain and difficulty eating to changes in his voice and intimacy—and why recovery doesn't end when the treatments do.
