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. 10, Season 1: Emotions, Faith, and Healing: Addressing the Roots of Dis-Ease in Cancer Care
Welcome back to Quarterbacking Cancer—the podcast that strips away confusion in cancer care and helps you build a clear, hopeful game plan.
In this powerful and deeply necessary conversation, host Dr. Tracey Stroup is joined by Dr. Sherian McCoy, a naturopathic doctor, cancer coach, and trusted member of Dr. Tracey’s telehealth team, to explore one of the most overlooked aspects of healing: the emotional and spiritual roots of disease.
Together, they unpack how unresolved trauma, fear, shame, grief, and identity wounds can contribute to dis-ease in the body—and why true healing must address the mind, body, and spirit. Drawing from clinical experience, personal testimony, and a Christ-centered perspective, this episode sheds light on how emotions influence physical health, how faith reframes diagnosis, and why hope is not passive—it’s strategic.
You’ll hear:
- Why cancer care must go beyond labs, scans, and protocols
- How emotions like fear, regret, and unprocessed grief impact the body
- The difference between conviction and shame—and why it matters for healing
- How faith and emotional healing work together, without bypassing reality
- A high-level look at Dr. McCoy’s Anchored in Hope emotional healing program
Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, survivor, or healthcare professional, this episode invites you to look deeper—without fear—and reminds you that while you’re still breathing, there’s still hope.
Because in this game, hope has a game plan. 🏈✨
