In 2007, Suzanne Somers shared remarkable news. After being diagnosed with breast cancer nearly six years earlier, she was told that she was now cancer-free. While she had the initial required surgery and radiation therapy to treat the initial cancerous tumor in her breast, she also made it her mission to adhere to a strict organic diet, exercise regularly, get good sleep, and take care with the products she used. "Sleep is a game-changer," she told Yahoo! Lifestyle. "I decided to eat as though my life depended on it. And that I would eliminate negative thoughts, and I would think of everything from a place of gratitude."
For many people, a cancer diagnosis can be life-changing in many ways, and Somers was no exception. As we saw over the years, her experience helped her make a radical shift in her lifestyle, even though she was perceived as someone who was already fit. "I just thought, I'm going to win this my way, I'm going to change my life," she told People in 2019. "I'm going to eliminate as many chemicals from my life, my lifestyle and diet, as I can possibly consume. So that's what I've done. There's not one chemical in our house and you can feel it when you walk in."
