| 12 Jan 2022 | 5. Breast Cancer Nutrition-Part 2 Survivorship | 00:44:34 | |
Once treatment ends...the confusion begins! Although the scientific studies are largely inconclusive regarding the best nutrition pathway to prevent breast cancer, there are some general things most health practitioners can agree upon. In today's episode, I break down these ideas as they relate to nutrition specifically.
We'll discuss some of the factors that you should consider when trying to choose a nutrition protocol, the importance of eating a wide variety of plants, what is inflammation and how you can keep it under control, addressing the root cause of hormone imbalances, bolstering immunity and important nutrients for breast cancer patients. Check out my blog for more information on my personal favorite foods to prevent recurrence.

| 19 Jan 2022 | 6. Interview with Stephanie Carson a Meditation & Breathwork teacher | 00:59:28 | |
If you struggle with the sitting still and mental chatter part of meditation, you may really enjoy trying Breathwork. By focusing on a three-part (belly, chest, exhale) breath, you are able to get out of your head and move stuck energy. In today's episode, I interview Stephanie Carson who is a Meditation and Breathwork teacher. She is also an intuitive healer, Reiki Practitioner and holds Cacao sessions. We discuss the basics of these modalities and how they may be of use to breast cancer patients during and after treatment. After working in the corporate/entertainment world for many years, Stephanie made a huge pivot after utilizing meditation in her own life and seeing the difference she felt. She is excellent at making this type of work accessible to those who haven't been exposed to these particular forms of healing. I can also attest to her incredibly warm and nurturing energy. Stephanie books private and group sessions and can take clients from all over the world thanks to Zoom. The best way to reach her is on Instagram @stephaniecarson_ or by emailing her at stephanie@soulsanity.com. Click here to visit her website. She also is offering to gift a free class through Unplug Meditation Studio (all breathwork classes are currently done virtually and she teaches on Tuesday evenings at 8pm PST) to anyone listening to the podcast who would like to try breathwork. Please contact her directly for details, subject to approval by Unplug Studio. | |||
| 26 Jan 2022 | 7. Breast Cancer & Hormone Health | 00:56:59 | |
If you were diagnosed with a hormone receptor positive breast cancer (ER+ or PR+ or ER+/PR+) or are dealing with hormone symptoms of any kind, today's episode is for you. I discuss the delicate balance between Estrogen & Progesterone that needs to occur to feel out best and prevent this type of hormonally driven cancer. Other topics covered are estrogen dominance, how to determine if your hormones are out of balance and what you can do to naturally balance things if they are out of whack.

| 23 Feb 2022 | 9. The Power of Journaling | 00:38:54 | |
In today's episode, I am discussing why journaling may help you along on your cancer journey. Whether you are currently in treatment or processing your experience through survivorship journaling is a fantastic self-care tool. Whether there is a trauma you want to address or not, journaling has numerous benefits and can be a really fun experience. I cover some of the research-backed benefits, different ways to cultivate a journal practice and I even read an entry from my childhood journal that is pretty amusing, if I say so myself. Books mentioned and that I drew from to create the episode include: Choose Wonder Over Worry: Move Beyond Fear And Doubt to Unlock Your Full Potential by Amber Rae The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron

| 25 Jan 2023 | 30. Fasting & Breast Cancer | 00:30:25 | |
In today's episode, I discuss how participating in a fasting protocol can be beneficial to breast cancer patients. Research has shown very promising results regarding using fasting to lower your risk of breast cancer recurrence and also to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy treatments. I have utilized fasting in my life for decades for various reasons and have seen many benefits. Topics covered in this episode: 2. Why is fasting good to prevent breast cancer from coming back? 3. How can fasting increase the benefits of chemotherapy treatment and reduce side effects? 4. Who shouldn't fast? 5. Common questions and concerns when starting a fasting protocol 6. How to make fasting easier 7. Why women who don't tolerate Tamoxifen should consider IF 8. My experimentation with fasting over the last 25 years Fasting has been studied as a potential way to improve chemotherapy outcomes. Short-term fasting has been observed to increase chemotherapy sensitivity in some cancer cells, enhance cancer cell death, and reduce chemotherapy-induced side effects. Fasting also increases the levels of certain hormones such as growth hormone, which may be beneficial for chemotherapy efficacy. In addition, fasting may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which are important factors in the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Finally, fasting may reset the body’s metabolism, allowing it to better utilize chemotherapy drugs. As always, thank you for listening! Please subscribe to the podcast, and leave a positive review. It really helps get this information to the people who need and want it. Plus, I would be so grateful.

| 22 Feb 2023 | 32. Dating After Breast Cancer | 00:38:06 | |
Dating after breast cancer can be a daunting experience, especially if you are struggling with feeling confident in your body and worried about how you will be accepted by a potential partner. In today's episode, I break down what I have learned about dating in a post-pandemic world in a post-mastectomy body. A few topics I cover:
-The advantages and disadvantages of meeting new people on the apps vs. in real life -How to know when you "are ready to get back out there" -The self-care tools I used to help boost my confidence -The benefits of sharing your experience and supporting yourself with single friends ...some of the most surprising moments I've had, some of the sweetest moments I've had, and one of the lowest moments I had regarding dealing with other people's reactions to my history as a breast cancer survivor. At the end of the day, dating TRULY can be FUN...even as a cancer survivor. Being more vigilant about enforcing my boundaries and also being more open, honest, and direct about how to handle my post-cancer body with care has actually been incredibly empowering. I hope the same for you too! Need an awesome list of songs to get you pumped up for your date? Go download my Self-Love Dance Party Playlist! It's FREE.
