Ashton said he would go to Chick-fil-A once a month just before he went for cancer treatment, even though he cooked some of his meals as part of his work as a chef at a sorority house.
He also acknowledged that he spent more time fishing and cooking than working out.
However, he attributes his survival to his non-traditional approach to cancer treatment. A recent scan after 18 months showed that he had no cancer, surpassing the one in five chance of survival for stage four melanoma.
“I did everything wrong in terms of treating your own cancer,” he wrote on TikTok. “I didn’t exercise or eat well, but I did one thing and stuck with it the entire time: I was optimistic and focused on the power of positivity.”
