Podcasts about Breast cancer

In this episode of All Talk Oncology, Kenny Perkins (Your Cancer Guy) speaks with Dr. Nadia Nocera Zachariah, a breast surgical oncologist at Miami Cancer Institute, about what patients should know after receiving a breast cancer diagnosis. Dr. Zachariah walks through the role of a breast surgeon and explains how treatment decisions are made, including whether surgery or chemotherapy should happen first. She also addresses one of the most common misconceptions among patients—that the entire breast must always be removed. In reality, many patients can safely undergo breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) combined with radiation, which often provides survival outcomes comparable to mastectomy. Dr. Zachariah also shares how her personal journey as a first-generation physician shaped her patient-centered approach to care. She emphasizes the importance of education, compassion, and empowering patients to fully understand their diagnosis and treatment options. Additionally, the conversation explores high-risk breast cancer screening, genetic testing, and the treatment of complex benign breast diseases that are often misdiagnosed. This episode provides valuable insight for patients, caregivers, and anyone seeking to better understand breast cancer treatment and surgical options. Highlights: What breast surgeons actually do after a cancer diagnosis Lumpectomy vs. mastectomy explained Why many patients request full breast removal The science behind breast-conserving surgery outcomes The importance of patient education in cancer care Genetic testing and high-risk breast cancer screening Treating rare inflammatory breast conditions Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share to help spread awareness about lung cancer and empower patients with life-saving information.

When multiple loved ones are diagnosed with breast cancer within a short period of time, it can leave you wondering if, and when, it might become part of your own story. Megan May knew her family history meant that she was at greater risk of developing breast cancer. She prepared as best she could and underwent regular screenings. However, her diagnosis at age 40 still came as a shock because there are some things that no one can fully prepare you for. Megan is here today to share her story - how a series of family diagnoses prompted her to begin early screening, what it was like to hear the words no one wants to hear, and the physical and emotional challenges that followed. We'll talk about how why giving back through fundraising has become such an important part of her mission and how her family supports each other through it all. Key Takeaways Family history can help identify when earlier screenings are needed Early detection can allow cancer to be caught and treated quickly Supporting someone with cancer starts with simply being present Knowing your normal and getting screened can save lives Chapters 00:00 – Megan's family history with breast cancer 02:20 – Starting early screenings 04:04 – Megan's diagnosis and treatment journey 09:39 – Finding strength through movement and survivorship 14:46 – Supporting family and advocating for early detection Learn more at realpink.komen.org and komen.org Real Pink, by Susan G.

Your oncologist checks the obvious things. But recurrence doesn't always announce itself with a lump or obvious symptom. Whether you are newly diagnosed, a long-term survivor, or high risk for developing cancer — knowing what your body is trying to tell you between appointments could change everything.

What if being disease-free isn't the same as being healthy? Many of us think we're healthy as long as our scans look good or our lab work falls within normal ranges. But health is much bigger than a diagnosis. In this episode, I share a different way to think about disease, health, and healing, and why the choices you make every day have a powerful influence on how well your body functions and how you experience your life after breast cancer.   Resources Mentioned: The Feel Good Reset: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/feelgood Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

Dr. Jenn Simmons — former fellowship-trained breast surgeon, functional medicine physician, and founder of Perfection Imaging — joins Dr. Will Cole in New York for one of the most important conversations about women's health this podcast has ever had. She shares the family loss that launched her career, her own cancer diagnosis at 46 that led her to functional medicine, and why she walked away from a surgical career to build something entirely different. She makes a clear-eyed, evidence-backed case against mammograms as a standard screening tool — citing multiple large-scale clinical trials — and introduces two safe, effective alternatives: the ARIA tears test and QT sound wave imaging. She also addresses the BRCA genetic conversation, DCIS overtreatment, and why breast cancer must be understood as a metabolic, environmental, and mitochondrial disease.

https://holplus.co/appointments Are we over-treating breast cancer? Learn why metabolic dysfunction may be the real driver behind many diagnoses and how to rethink treatment.Approximately 20 to 30 percent of screen detected breast cancer cases are treated unnecessarily. This video challenges the current standard of breast cancer treatment by focusing on the underlying metabolic health factors that often go unaddressed. If you are concerned about the current approach to screening or are looking for a more preventative perspective, this discussion provides a critical look at how we diagnose and manage the disease.We break down the three major drivers that contribute to long-standing metabolic dysfunction. By identifying these root causes, we can move toward a more accurate breast cancer diagnosis and more effective, targeted strategies for long-term health.Subscribe for weekly health and metabolic disease breakdowns, and comment below with your thoughts on these new findings.If you are navigating cancer treatment or recovery, concerned about inflammation, or want personalized support for your hormones and nutrition, explore related Hol+ care options here:Cancer Support:https://holplus.co/services/cancer-support/Inflammation:https://holplus.co/conditions/inflammation/Hormone Balancing:https://holplus.co/services/hormone-balancing/0:00 Rethinking Breast Cancer Care1:04 Meet Dr. Jen Simmons2:59 A Family History of Cancer6:53 When the Doctor Becomes the Patient12:53 Why We Focus on the Wrong Thing18:51 Navigating a Diagnosis23:24 The Flaws in Mammographic Screening35:17 A New Paradigm for Breast Health*About Dr. Jenn Simmons:*Dr. Jenn Simmons is an Integrative Oncologist, Breast Surgeon, Author, Podcast Host, and the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging. Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.Connect with Dr. Jenn Simmons:https://www.realhealthmd.com/https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmonsAbout Dr. Taz:Dr. Tasneem Bhatia (Dr. Taz) is a triple board-certified integrative medicine physician,bestselling author, and founder of hol+ a multi-location integrative medicine practice.Learn more: https://doctortaz.com/aboutStay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/ - Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Book a Hol+ Consultation: https://holplus.co/locations/virtual/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsProduced by https://ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

What if one test could change the future for you and your family? Kathy Baker knows firsthand. After a breast cancer diagnosis and years of encouragement from her oncologist, genetic testing revealed a BRCA mutation that ultimately saved her life. In this episode, Kathy shares her personal journey, explains why hereditary cancer awareness matters, and offers practical guidance for anyone wondering whether genetic testing is right for them.

When someone you love gets a cancer diagnosis, you want to say the right thing — but often, what comes out does the opposite. In this very personal episode of MissPerceived, Professor Leah Ruppanner steps away from the research for a moment to talk about her own recent diagnosis of breast cancer, and the wildly inappropriate (but often well‑intentioned) things people say in response. She shares the five big “please don't”s she keeps hearing — plus what actually helps when someone is living through cancer or another serious chronic illness.This isn't about shaming anyone. Leah talks about the times she's said these exact things to friends, why they come from fear and grief, and how we can all do better at holding space, dumping love in instead of out, and making it easier (not harder) for the person at the center of the storm.Chapters:00:00 Why this episode is different — Leah's breast cancer diagnosis02:28 Don't tell me about someone else's cancer story (especially the worst‑case ones)04:36 Why other people's stories shift the spotlight away from the person who's sick05:30 Don't ask “what stage is it?” or quiz my screening history06:59 The hidden message in “when was your last mammogram?”09:22 When my diagnosis triggers your own fear: sharing your medical history11:25 “I have a good feeling, you'll be fine” — why that shuts down real feelings13:46 Questioning medical advice when you're not the oncologist16:03 What actually helps: holding space, listening, asking what's needed18:14 Learning to slow down, receive care, and feel the collective loveWhat to say instead (Leah's script you can steal):“This sucks. I'm so sorry you're going through this.”“What do you need right now?”“How can I help?”“You don't have to respond, but I'm thinking of you and I love you.”“I can call anytime — you don't have to pick up.”Resources Mentioned:

Immune checkpoint inhibitors have rapidly reshaped care for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC)—but surgical teams increasingly encounter their downstream perioperative consequences. In this episode, we define immunotherapy through the lens of checkpoint biology, review the landmark evidence supporting pembrolizumab in metastatic PD‑L1–positive TNBC (KEYNOTE‑355) and curative-intent stage II–III TNBC (KEYNOTE‑522), and translate immune-related adverse events (irAEs) into practical periop recognition, triage, and timing decisions—especially for endocrine, pulmonary, hepatic, dermatologic, and GI toxicities.

Disability and breast cancer intersect in more than one direction. Some people develop long-term effects like lymphedema, neuropathy or cognitive changes because of treatment — effects recognized as disabilities under the Americans with Disabilities Act. Others are already living with a disability, of any kind, when a breast cancer diagnosis enters the picture. This July, in recognition of Disability Pride Month, Krista Park Berry, Director of Susan G. Komen's Breast Care Helpline, returns to Real Pink to talk about how the Helpline supports people through their breast health experience no matter when their disability started, and what that support looks like for women of color in particular.

Breast cancer is often thought of as a disease that only affects women, but that's simply not true. In this powerful and eye opening conversation, De'Ann sits down with stage IV metastatic breast cancer advocate Jake Messier to discuss an important topic that deserves far more attention: men and breast cancer. Jake shares his personal journey from discovering an unexpected lump to navigating a diagnosis that many people, including men themselves, don't realize is possible. Together, they explore the stigma surrounding male breast cancer, the lack of awareness and research, why earlier detection matters, and how one person's willingness to speak up can help save lives. Jake mentions the important role hormones can play in certain breast cancers. While every healing journey is unique, supporting healthy hormone metabolism is an important part of many integrative wellness plans.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Recently, I brought together two of my favorite people. Frank Zaccari is—among many award-winning professional roles and ventures—a gifted listener with an ability to facilitate interviews that bring out the best in the guest and offer value to the listener. My friend and colleague, Eliza Young (the genius behind my Quarter Moon Story Arts logo and soon-to-be-revealed new and improved website) is the author of her upcoming memoir, Life in Captivity: Moving from a Life in Captivity to a Captivating Life. Their powerful and poignant conversation highlights this truth: “Your past may shape your story...but it never has to write your ending.”   From the June 23rd 2026 Bounce Back Podcast Episode Notes: ”What happens when your life begins with overwhelming adversity? Imagine enduring more than 20 surgeries before adulthood, surviving childhood trauma, navigating a bitter custody battle, living through emotional abuse, witnessing the events of 9/11 from just blocks away, and later facing breast cancer.

Doesn't it feel good to put the blame for your breast cancer on that unsuspecting cheeseburger? Of course it does! But the truth is, that “feel good” feeling is misplaced. Diet is often discussed in relation to breast cancer risk, yet diet hasn't been identified as a definitive cause of breast cancer; not that it stops you from blaming and naming your diet as the cause of YOUR breast cancer. Which can only mean one thing - your diet will be a culprit in a recurrence. Ready to change that thinking? After today's episode you'll understand: Why “blaming the food” is so appealing to your brainThe two powerful thoughts behind your tendency to “blame the food”What to do instead of “blame the food”. . .on repeatClick here to submit a booking request for THE CLARITY SESSIONSClick here to get my brand new FREE guide; The 5 Foods Breast Cancer Survivors Worry About Most (and what the science really says)Follow me on Instagram @hormone.breastcancer.dietitian

Love the podcast? Send us a text!Somewhere between the diagnosis and the last appointment, most of us stopped breathing all the way down. Not on purpose. The body braces, the jaw clenches, the shoulders come up — and then treatment ends, everyone tells you congratulations, and nobody mentions that your nervous system never got the memo that the emergency is over.In this episode, host Laura Carfang sits down with Brett Aldrich — Ayurvedic health counselor, breathwork facilitator, and former social services practitioner specializing in trauma awareness and domestic violence — for a conversation about what it takes to feel safe in your body again after cancer treatment.Brett talks about the five elements of Ayurveda not as a rulebook but as a way of reading yourself: what you need today may not be what you needed yesterday, and women in particular are changing constantly. She's candid that she doesn't practice it perfectly, that she still drinks coffee, and that "one thing can change everything" — because the alternative, a total lifestyle overhaul on top of everything else you're carrying, is a plan nobody can keep.Laura brings the questions our community actually asks: what do you do when your digestion has been wrecked by treatment? When your estrogen has been deliberately taken to zero and you're grieving what that costs your bones and your brain? When you're the busy mom with pickup and drop-off and aging parents and a job, and a seven-day retreat is a fantasy? And what about all the supplements on social media promising to cleanse and fix you?Then the conversation turns to breath — and this is the part worth staying for. Brett explains the mechanics plainly: how a full diaphragmatic breath moves the diaphragm against the organs, how the vagus nerve connects the throat to the heart, lungs, and gut, and why the felt sense of safety is the precondition for everything else. When the body feels safe, there's space to heal.About the guest:Brett Aldrich is an Ayurvedic health counselor and breathwork practitioner and facilitator based in Maine. Her background is in yoga and in social services, where she worked in trauma awareness and domestic violence support before moving into holistic and Ayurvedic care. She works with clients in person and virtually through her practice, Seed the Spirit (seedthespirit.com).Disclosure: Brett offers consultations through her private practice, including a free 20-minute introductory call.

Have you ever told yourself you'd get to it later, when there was more time, more money, more room? Most of us have. And most of us never stop to ask what the waiting is costing us. There is a question your brain reaches for first when you think about changing something in your life, and it is almost always the wrong one. In this episode, I offer you a different question, one that shifts everything from what you might lose to what you are willing to build. We look at why healthy changes so often fail to stick, and it has nothing to do with willpower. I also share research on why women stop investing in their own care, and a moment with a client living with stage four disease that changed how I think about planning a future. If money is genuinely tight, I name real organizations that exist to help, and one resource almost no one uses. Where did we learn that taking what we need means taking it from someone else? Your life is being built right now, between breakfast and lunch today.   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

What if breast cancer risk is not determined only by your genes or family history? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with double board-certified breast cancer surgeon and lifestyle medicine physician Dr. Kristi Funk to discuss why breast cancer is becoming more common, especially among younger women, and what women can do to better understand and potentially reduce their risk.Dr. Funk explains why 95% of women diagnosed with breast cancer do not have a BRCA mutation and why 87% do not have a first-degree relative with the disease. Together, Dr. Taz and Dr. Funk explore how food, alcohol, exercise, body weight, stress, inflammation, environmental toxins, sleep, and hormone therapy may influence breast health.They also break down some of the most confusing questions surrounding breast cancer screening and treatment. Do mammograms cause cancer? Is ultrasound a good alternative? When should women begin breast exams? Are some cases of stage zero breast cancer being overtreated? And how much does menopause hormone therapy actually increase breast cancer risk?Breast cancer screening is important, but screening and prevention are not the same thing. Understanding your individual risk factors can help you have better conversations with your doctor and make more informed decisions about your health.If you are navigating cancer treatment or recovery, concerned about inflammation, or want personalized support for your hormones and nutrition, explore related Hol+ care options here:Cancer Support:https://holplus.co/services/cancer-support/Inflammation:https://holplus.co/conditions/inflammation/Hormone Balancing:https://holplus.co/services/hormone-balancing/About Dr. Kristi Funk:Dr. Kristi Funk is a double board-certified breast cancer surgeon, lifestyle medicine physician, bestselling author, and international speaker.

Starting with the gravy days of Airwalk in the early 90's, Lisa has always been a proven people connector who's fought for her fellow women because she could. From starting the first women's outerwear brand (Prom) and co-founding Boarding for Breast Cancer, to ensuring Hall of Fame athletes like Shannon Dunn and Tina Basich had a path in snowboarding, to making sure women and brands were included in her video game projects, Lisa's career has not only been successful, she's been a force for women in sports and her story is important and heavy at times.

Artificial Intelligence is buzzy. There's a lot about it in the news and a lot we think we understand about how to use it and a lot we may not fully understand. But the promise it holds is tremendous, and today we're going to learn a little more about how it could benefit breast cancer research and patient care in the near future. Drs. Charles Perou at UNC Chapel Hill and Erika Crosby at Duke University are two very accomplished breast cancer researchers who are joining us today to share their perspectives on using AI now and in the future. Key takeaways AI is improving breast cancer screening and diagnosis. Researchers are using AI to save time on coding, writing, and data analysis. AI can help match patients to clinical trials more effectively. Human expertise is still needed to verify AI-generated results. AI has the potential to accelerate research and improve patient care.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons returns for part two of her conversation with Ivy Harris, the homeschool mom and researcher behind Done with Diligence, to answer the question Part 1 left open: if not a mammogram, then what? Dr. Jenn makes her most direct case yet that screening healthy, asymptomatic women with mammography is unethical and unsupported by science, and she lays out the alternative she built her practice around. This is the episode where she stops critiquing the old model and hands women a new one.Ivy asks the question every listener is thinking after Part 1: is there ever a situation where Dr. Jenn recommends a mammogram? Her answer draws the one line that matters most in this whole conversation, the line between screening a woman who feels fine and diagnosing a woman who has a symptom. One of those saves lives. The other, she argues, has been quietly manufacturing cancer for sixty years. This is the episode you'll want to send to every woman who's ever been told she has no choice but to start at 40 and repeat every year.What You'll LearnWhy Dr. Jenn recommends no screening mammogram for any asymptomatic woman.What the difference between FDA cleared and FDA approved really means, and why mammography would never pass the FDA todayHow QT compares to mammography and why it was built for dense breasts and implants firstWhy screening a 30 year old with a mammogram isn't avoided because it can't be done, but because it would reliably cause cancerWhy the WISDOM trial showed more screening produces more biopsies and more diagnoses without saving a single additional lifeWhat women should actually screen for instead, the metabolic dysfunction and inflammatory markers that point to preventionThe daily, no-cost practices Dr. Jenn says do more for breast health than any scan, from fasting to bone-loading movement to detoxificationWhy a biopsy does not spread cancer, and why stage one breast cancer is 99% survivableWhy the difference between surviving breast cancer and thriving after it usually comes down to who gets a health plan, not just a treatment planEpisode Timeline:01:29 Do mammograms save lives or save breasts01:50 Why finding cancer early doesn't change the outcome02:20 How QT imaging and doubling time work05:01 The difference between screening and diagnosis07:14 Thermography, ultrasound, and the tears test12:32 FDA cleared versus FDA approved, explained18:06 QT versus mammogram sensitivity, 91% versus 71%20:47 QT for dense breasts and implants23:51 QT insurance coverage, cost, and access26:11 What age to start screening, and why not mammograms28:20 Responding to Peter Attia and the WISDOM trial34:21 Diet, fasting, movement, and prevention basics38:53 What to do after a breast cancer diagnosis39:44 Whether biopsies spread cancer, and the estrogen myth43:30 Dr. Jenn's credentials and qualificationsGuest: Ivy HarrisWhere to find her: donewithdiligence.com & @donewithdiligenceTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with Dr. Jenn visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/clarity-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

There's only so far you can go when you build your breast cancer diet around breast cancer nutrition myths. You can get to a place where you think you're doing yourself a favor by following “food rules”, but you won't get to the point of eating with confidence and feeling peaceful about what you're putting on your plate. That's why in today's episode I explore the topic of breast cancer nutrition myths and the role they truly play in your survivorship.  After today's episode you'll understand: Why breast cancer nutrition myths existFacts behind the “dairy causes breast cancer” mythThe number one way to cut through the breast cancer nutrition myth noiseClick here to submit a booking request for THE CLARITY SESSIONSClick here to get my brand new FREE guide; The 5 Foods Breast Cancer Survivors Worry About Most (and what the science really says)Follow me on Instagram @hormone.breastcancer.dietitian

Love the podcast? Send us a text!When you're living with breast cancer, the medical team treats the cancer — but who takes care of everything else? The fear that won't quiet down at 2 a.m. The diarrhea you're not sure is "bad enough" to call about. The FMLA paperwork, the school pickup, the light bill, the strange grief that shows up right when everyone expects you to feel grateful.In this episode, host Laura Carfang sits down with Dr. Julia Frydman, palliative care physician and medical director at Thyme Care, and Dr. Stephanie Broussard, director of social work at Thyme Care, to talk about what whole-person cancer support actually looks like — at every stage, from newly diagnosed through survivorship and metastatic disease. Together they unpack how a proactive, interdisciplinary team of nurses, social workers, and physicians closes the gaps that so often get missed, meeting people where they are, on their schedule, whether that's a text, an after-hours call, or simply someone to talk to.Julia and Stephanie share how structured, evidence-based check-ins catch symptoms early (before a small problem becomes an ER visit), how they screen for the emotional distress patients often don't realize they're carrying, and why the transitions in a cancer journey can feel like the rug being pulled out from under you. They tackle one of the biggest misconceptions in cancer care head-on: palliative care is NOT hospice — it's added support at any age and any stage. And they get honest about the things we rarely make space for: the ambivalence of "no evidence of disease," the grief that lives alongside the gratitude, financial toxicity, caregiver burnout, and the particular weight carried by those living with metastatic breast cancer, for whom treatment never ends.This is a warm, practical conversation about being seen, being heard, and knowing you don't have to endure it all alone.In this episode:Why "you don't know what you don't know" is one of the biggest barriers in cancer careProactive check-ins and patient-reported outcomes: catching symptoms before they escalateWhen a symptom is clinically significant — and when it's okay to manage it at homeEmotional distress vs. depression and anxiety: what's normal adjustment, and what needs supportThe grief-and-gratitude paradox of survivorship, and making space for bothFear of recurrence, "no evidence of disease," and the symptom burden that follows patientsHow a nurse/social-work triage team coordinates with your oncology team (not around it)Mental health escalation in action — from a routine call to real-time supportFinancial toxicity, social needs, and caregiver supportWho can access Thyme Care, insurance partnerships, and 50-state licensingMetastatic and life-limiting breast cancer: bearing witness and living with uncertaintyThe truth about palliative care: it adds, it doesn't take awayOutcomes: higher satisfaction, improved symptoms, fewer avoidable hospitalizations, and expanded access to palliative careAbout the guests:Dr. Julia Frydman is a palliative care physician and medical director at Thyme Care, where an interdisciplinary team provides whole-person support to people living with cancer as an extra layer alongside their oncology care.Dr. Stephanie Broussard, DSW, is director of social work at Thyme Care, leading its clinical and non-clinical social support teams, with a background in oncology, palliative care, and behavioral health.About the show: Breast Cancer Conversations is produced by SurvivingBreastCancer.org, a nonprofit providing evidence-based education, emotional support, and well-being resources to everyone touched by breast cancer — at every stage.

Can beans really lower your cancer risk? In this episode of Not Today Cancer, we break down the research on beans, breast cancer, and longevity — and exactly how to start eating them without the bloat. After my own diagnosis I moved to a whole food plant-based diet, slowly, and beans became the hero of the story. My partner Darren joins me — and the twist is he barely changed his diet at all, which is kind of the point: you don't have to overhaul everything. In this episode we cover: • The study linking high bean-fiber intake to ~25% lower breast cancer risk • Why soy is safe (and reassuring) for breast cancer survivors • Beans, colorectal cancer, and the power of dietary fiber • What beans do for cholesterol, blood sugar, and type 2 diabetes risk • The Blue Zones longevity connection • How to start slow without gas or bloating • Simple beginner bean recipes to try this week Links and resources: PDF Bean Recipes Jen's protein powder Use Code: Hello10 CoreFlow waitlist: JOIN HERE Free Not Today Cancer community: Request to join here Find Jen on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jendelvaux/ Loved this episode?

When was the last time you let yourself want something without immediately talking yourself out of it? So many of us learned early on to keep ourselves small. Then a diagnosis arrives, and that quiet voice telling you not to ask for too much gets even louder. Have you ever found yourself making silent deals, promising to be content with less as long as you get to stay? I overheard a conversation at my kitchen table more than forty years ago that shaped what I believed I was allowed to want. What would it feel like to spot that same voice in your own life and realize it was never telling you the truth? This episode gives you a way to hold your gratitude and your wanting in the same two hands, without guilt and without apology. And let me be clear about what this is not. No one is sick because she did not believe hard enough. You will leave with one simple exercise you can do in five minutes today. Your life is allowed to be full. Your wanting is allowed to be loud.   Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health  Download for iPhone:  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kajabi/id1485646310 Download for Android:  https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kajabi.kajabiapp&hl=en_US   Let's Connect!

Our discussion explores those experiences, along with her writing process, her philosophy of "keep going until you can't," and even a friendly debate about the word aviatrix.But when we chatted, I hadn't finished the book yet. Without spoiling the ending, I'll simply say that the final chapters gave me an even deeper appreciation for Michelle's courage and reminded me that the barriers women face in aviation are far more recent, and far more persistent, than we'd like to believe.Lady MacGyver needs to be on every aviation company CEO's, COO's, and Human Resources Manager's reading list.

In this episode of SurgOnc Today, Kristin Strogus, PA-C & Renee Wilson, PA-C, are joined by Ana Nelson, PA-C, as they examine the modern landscape of breast cancer survivorship, including the long-term needs of survivors and the expanding role of APPs within multidisciplinary survivorship programs.

Breast cancer diagnoses are rising among younger women, including many who are not yet old enough for routine mammograms. What warning signs should women in their 20s, 30s and early 40s recognize, and what should they do when a concern is dismissed?Host Johanna Gomez, a breast cancer survivor, speaks with Dr. Starr Mautner, breast surgical oncologist, and Dr. Reshma Mahtani, chief of Breast Medical Oncology at Baptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer Institute. They explain why knowing what is normal for your body, understanding your personal risk and advocating for proper imaging or a biopsy can make a critical difference. Why breast cancer rates are increasing in younger women  Lumps, skin changes, nipple changes and other symptoms that should not be ignored  How lifestyle, alcohol use, genetics and family history may affect risk  When screening should begin and why dense breast tissue matters  Why an ultrasound does not replace a mammogram  When to push for a biopsy or seek a second opinion  Fertility preservation and coordinated care for younger patients  Practical steps women can take to protect their breast health Early detection matters. Know your body, understand your risk and do not ignore a change that does not feel normal for you.Host:Johanna GomezAward-Winning Host & JournalistGuests:Starr Mautner, M.D.Breast Surgical OncologistBaptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer InstituteReshma Mahtani, D.O.Chief of Breast Medical OncologyBaptist Health Herbert Wertheim Cancer InstituteIf you found this episode helpful, you may also enjoy:Life After Breast Cancer: Fear, Healing, and HopeYoung Women and Breast CancerBreast Cancer Survivorship: 10-Years Later

Before EP Description: Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat happens on the day your cancer treatment ends and instead of feeling free, you feel like you're standing at the edge of a cliff instead?Host Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Tara Elmore, the founder of Complex Creatures, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 37.Tara understands the strange silence that follows the very last treatment, because she lived it. The roadmap disappears, the check-ins slow down, and people see your hair growing back and assume that you're fine. But inside, you're left wondering what you're supposed to do with the 364 days that stretch between one screening and the next.Dr. Katie brings her own perspective as a former radiation oncologist who used to prepare her patients for this exact moment. She saw the anxiety, the loneliness, and the fear that tend to show up right when the world expects you to celebrate. They explore what it means to reclaim your agency, how to gently detox your body after treatment, and why the intuitive knowing inside you is far more powerful than you've been led to believe.Chapters:00:05:42 - The Emotional Cliff After Treatment00:08:49 - Why Ringing the Bell Feels Complicated00:09:52 - Reclaiming Your Role in Healing00:11:13 - Building a Post-Treatment Care Team00:12:31 - Taking the First Step Toward Recovery00:15:09 - The Fast That Changed Her Body00:18:22 - Finding Safer Ways to Fast Postpartum00:20:16 - Turning a Healing Gap Into a Mission00:22:34 - Supporting Skin Through Radiation00:26:20 - Why Breast Care Matters Between Screenings00:30:46 - Reconnecting With Your Body00:32:46 - Reclaiming the 364 Days Between Screenings00:33:14 - Choosing Your Health Non-Negotiables00:34:58 - Understanding the Body's Terrain00:39:14 - Making Health a Lifelong PracticeYou'll hear how Tara rebuilt her health one small step at a time, why fasting became a surprising turning point in her story, and what breast care has to do with reconnecting to your own body.

We know that clinical trials are a critical lifeline, offering new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose and treat breast cancer. Today, patient advocates are transforming clinical trials by bringing the real-world experiences of patients directly to researchers. By acting as a bridge between science and the community, patient advocates boost enrollment in clinical trials, and help build a lasting trust Today we are speaking with Dr. Lior Braunstein, a radiation oncologist and researcher at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, and Dr. Ellen Landsberger, a retired OB-GYN and patient advocate, also at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Together they are working on the ARCHER clinical trial, a study that is investigating a new treatment strategy for HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer. We'll talk about what they are hoping to accomplish through the ARCHER trial, what their collaborative process looks like and how patient advocates in clinical trials can help improve patient outcomes. Key Takeaways: Patient advocates help design better clinical trials The ARCHER trial aims to improve treatment outcomes Patient voices shape research from the very beginning Clinical trials study both treatment and quality of life Better access helps more patients join clinical trials Chapters 00:00:00 – Why patient advocates belong at the clinical trial design table 00:04:44 – From breast cancer survivor to patient advocate 00:07:46 – How advocates shape research and address patient concerns 00:12:08 – Inside the ARCHER trial and its goal to improve metastatic breast cancer treatment 00:19:03 – Measuring quality of life and improving access to clinical trials 00:26:28 – How patients can become advocates and influence future research

NP Ingrid called in to talk all about how she reclaimed her sex life after breast cancer and now helps other men and women do the same. Tune in to hear how and when she found out she had breast cancer, why she chose to have a double mastectomy and chemotherapy even though doctors told her she didnt have to, how it affected her sex drive and threw her into menopause, how and when she decided to go on pellets and the positive changes she experienced, why she started creating content with her younger boyfriend, the hormone pellets she uses in her practice for both men and women, everything you need to know about the O-Shot including the two different versions available and how much they cost, how quickly they work and what they help with, the P-Shot and how it can improve erections, increase girth and length, the peptides she's personally tried including Ozempic, Tesamorelin and Retatrutide, the peptide she recommends for sex drive, the best peptides for skin repair, inflammation, pain and anti-aging, how she evaluates patients before recommending peptides plus a whole lot more.
