CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch five years ago, we've published more than 25,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 130,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

She shares the shock of receiving her diagnosis without compassion, the emotional and spiritual battles that followed, and how she learned to trust God's timing even when the path felt unfair and unclear.With her now-husband by her side through every appointment and her son giving her strength, Chelle reflects on resilience, identity, and the courage it takes to let God use you—even when the process feels nothing like you imagined.

For the 234th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes Jean Hannah Edelstein, author of Breasts: A Relatively Brief Relationship. Edelstein discusses growing up in a culture that sexualized her body, the pressure and challenges of breastfeeding, and her breast cancer diagnosis—including why she views her mastectomy as an amputation. She also breaks down the realities of reconstruction, the odd sexualization of pink-washed breast cancer culture, and her experience with genetic testing and Lynch syndrome. Plus, we talk about pregnancy and motherhood.

Hello and welcome to today's conversation with Andrew McCauley, a clinical specialist physiotherapist in lower limb/strength & conditioning, from Ireland and now based in the UKIn today's conversation, we talk about Andrew's journey as a physio, a coach and an educator, teaching therapists how to communicate effectively, especially around integrating strength and conditioning principles into rehab (and why I think he's a covert pelvic physio...)We talked about the importance of being a good communicator, especially when working with people in pain, building trust and creating a safe space, for discussing sensitive topics such as pelvic health.We also explored the principles of strength and conditioning, focusing on the importance of understanding concepts like stability and progressive overload. Andrew talked about how easy it can be for us to overlook the basics, but how we can effectively conduct strength training exercises without equipment, highlighting the need for effort and proper rest (we also discussed how we can intersect the worlds of pelvic health and strength training)We discussed exercise prescription strategies, how to adapt exercises based on patient characteristics and goals and how to get really good at asking better questions...as well as Therapist Anxiety Syndrome (you'll have to listen to find out more!)Andrew is all about empowering patients through clear goal setting and enhancing physio education and practice - I'm excited to be a student on Andrew's upcoming course, integrating coaching principles with strength and conditioning principles.

In this episode, Laura explores a question that often brings women more confusion than clarity: "What is my purpose?" Drawing from her own reflections and from coaching breast cancer survivors, she reframes the conversation around a far more supportive question: "Am I living on purpose?" You'll hear how intentional living supports cognitive health, stress resilience, emotional wellbeing, and metabolic healing after breast cancer. Laura breaks down the psychology and neuroscience behind purposeful living, explains why so many of us resist it, and shares simple, doable ways to build intention into your daily life. A perfect episode for the end of the year as you reflect on how you've lived and how you want to live moving forward.   Listen in to learn: Why chasing a single "life purpose" keeps so many women stuck after breast cancer How intention, not pressure, supports healing in the brain and body What research really means when it talks about "purpose in life" The three layers of living on purpose—awareness, alignment, and action Why intentional living feels vulnerable and how to begin gently How small, daily choices create a meaningful and aligned life over time   Explore more support: Better Than Before Breast Cancer Life Coaching Membership: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/lifecoaching Creating a Life You Love in 168 Hours a Week: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/168-hours-sp   Let's Connect!

A diagnosis of breast cancer is life-changing at any age. Women in this situation will commonly seek our advice and we really want to help them at this vulnerable time, but for pre- and perimenopausal women conflicting media coverage over the safety of different menopause treatment options after breast cancer have created a recipe for confusion and frustration for patients and clinicians alike... We'll also briefly cover ultra-processed food. Joe Wicks' recent documentary ‘Licensed to Kill' has brought this topic back into the spotlight. While the scare-tactic language in the title and promo are perhaps not the best way to support people to make sustained change, the programme contained some important points and may well result in questions coming primary care's way. We have an exclusive clip of Nik talking to Hussain all about this on Boggled Docs.  Listen as soon as you can to ensure you have full access to all the free resources. Further Pearls from October will be covered next time.Links:Boggled Docs: Ultra-processed food: licensed to kill?

In this episode, host Melissa Berry sits down with Dr. Rebecca Knackstedt, a dedicated and compassionate plastic surgeon and Assistant Professor of Surgery at Duke University to discuss the transformative power of breast pre-habilitation.  Specializing in microsurgical breast reconstruction and certified in Functional Medicine, Dr. Knackstedt has cared for thousands of women preparing for breast cancer surgery. She is passionate about helping patients use evidence-based strategies, including nutrition, supplementation, stress management, and sleep optimization, to take an active role in their healing. Together, they explore how this powerful yet often overlooked step can significantly enhance recovery, improve outcomes, reduce complications, and provide a greater sense of strength and control during your breast cancer experience.  

In this new episode, we celebrate the incredible resilience of women who not only overcome breast cancer but also channel their strength into impactful community efforts. Meet Janice Bagnato, a three-time breast cancer survivor, shares how dragon boating and the Hearts of Steel team in Pittsburgh transformed her life.

There was a time when women's health was marginalized. There was a time when breast cancer wasn't discussed. There was a time when October wasn't pink. But three women--Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder--refused to be silenced. Their courage ignited a movement that forever changed the way society addresses breast cancer. When these "radical sisters" were diagnosed, they faced a medical world rife with myths, outdated protocols, and a shocking lack of research. Breast cancer awareness was non-existent, and treatment options were limited. Yet, Shirley, Rose, and Evelyn--empowered by their own diagnoses--became trailblazing advocates for breast cancer research, early detection, and women's health. Their efforts broke open the conversation and set the stage for a new era of breast cancer advocacy. Radical Sisters: Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, Evelyn Lauder, and the Dawn of the Breast Cancer Movement (Mayo Clinic Press, 2025) meticulously researched by award-winning biographer Judith L. Pearson, chronicles their powerful journeys. Taking cues from the women's health and AIDS movements, these inspirational women demanded a shift in how society viewed breast cancer--not as a taboo, but as a cause worthy of public attention and action. Today, more than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year. They stand on the shoulders of these courageous pioneers, whose legacy has empowered generations to advocate for better healthcare, increased research, and greater awareness.

This episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions centers on the launch of Dr. V and Dr. K's new book, "Breast Cancer Breakthrough," which is presented as a comprehensive guide to healing by merging conventional and natural medicine. The conversation opens with excitement about the upcoming release and highlights the book's goal to bridge traditional oncology with holistic approaches, ensuring that women facing breast cancer have access to a wide array of supportive tools and strategies rooted in both science and integrative health.A major theme of the discussion is the importance of integrating natural therapies—like vitamin D, curcumin, fasting, and proper nutrition—with standard medical treatments.

They advocate for a personalized, synchronized approach, tailoring interventions to individual patient needs and using extensive research to guide therapy choices.Empowering patients with knowledge is a recurring message throughout the episode. Dr. V and Dr. K emphasize correcting misconceptions, such as the notion that natural treatments must pause during standard oncology care or that medical professionals reject integrative methods outright. The doctors encourage women to embrace all available tools and offer praise for coaching teams and the evolution of cancer care, focusing on hope and the power of informed choice in health journeys.The conversation provides practical insights for patients facing surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. The doctors discuss immune system support, pre-surgery preparations, and the management of inflammation. They cover nutritional supplements to aid recovery, the risks of immune suppression from anesthesia, and the benefits of fasting during chemotherapy. Metabolic flexibility and attention to blood sugar, especially through dietary adjustments, are highlighted as strategies to optimize the effects of cancer treatments and reduce adverse outcomes.In closing, Dr. V and Dr. K reflect on the broader impact of their book and their shared mission: to empower women navigating breast cancer by offering holistic, actionable guidance. By combining foundational wellness with advanced oncology, they hope to provide a pathway to healing that honors both the body and mind. Their comprehensive approach encourages readers to become active participants in their health, fostering hope, knowledge, and resilience in the face of cancer.Dr. V and Dr. K introduce their book "Breast Cancer Breakthrough," which combines natural and conventional medicine for a comprehensive healing approach.They emphasize the synergy of holistic therapies like vitamin D, curcumin, and fasting with traditional oncology to boost effectiveness and minimize side effects.Patient empowerment is a key theme, as the doctors address misconceptions and stress the importance of knowledge in making informed decisions.Practical tips are shared for preparing for surgery, optimizing chemotherapy, and navigating radiation, including nutrition and immune support strategies.The episode underscores hope and resilience, encouraging women to take an active, integrative role in their breast cancer journey._____________________Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

My guest is Dr. David Fajgenbaum, MD, professor of translational medicine and human genetics at the University of Pennsylvania. He explains how, unbeknownst to most doctors, many approved medications can successfully treat or even cure diseases other than the ones they are typically used to treat. He shares his story of escaping death from Castleman's disease by discovering a life-saving treatment using repurposed drugs that were approved for other purposes. Our conversation explores how researchers, physicians, and you—the general public—can explore novel treatments and cures to conditions the medical profession has deemed untreatable, including cancers. We also discuss the crucial role of mindset in battling diseases and the lesser-known use of compounds to promote health and longevity. Read the episode show notes at hubermanlab.com.
