Quarterbacking Cancer
The truth is, cancer care is confusing, overwhelming, and often broken. Patients and families are left to navigate a system full of gaps, unanswered questions, and tough choices.
After stepping into the “quarterback” role for a dear friend’s cancer journey, coordinating doctors, protocols, natural therapies, emotional support, and even microdosing through chemo, we discovered the plays that truly made a difference.
Now, we’re sharing the playbook with you.
Each episode of Quarterbacking Cancer brings you expert insights, real-life strategies, and heartfelt conversations to help you face cancer with clarity, confidence, and hope. From integrative medicine to emotional resilience, you’ll get the tools and support you need to call the right plays for your unique journey.
Because no one should have to fight cancer uninformed and with the right game plan, you’re not alone.

Ep. 3, Season 1: Planting Seeds of Hope: Inside the Appleseed Project with Julia Chiappetta
Cancer care can feel overwhelming, but what if there was a community ready to meet you with compassion, education, and hope?
In this episode of Quarterbacking Cancer, Dr. Tracey Stroup sits down with Julia Chiappetta, Director of the Annie Appleseed Project.
Julia shares the powerful story of how one woman’s search for alternative cancer therapies grew into a global movement that has touched over a million lives. From annual conferences that connect patients directly with integrative and functional oncology experts, to one-on-one advocacy calls that meet people where they are, the Appleseed Project is changing the culture of cancer care.
Together, Tracey and Julia discuss:
✅ Why patients need both education and community support
✅ The importance of grace in choosing your own healing path—whether conventional, integrative, or a blend
✅ How emotional, mental, and spiritual health impact cancer recovery
✅ What to do first if you or a loved one has just received a diagnosis
This conversation is about more than protocols, it’s about planting seeds of empowerment, faith, and healing that continue to grow. 🌱✨
