Podcasts about Breast cancer

Nobody warned women that their vaginal health could affect everything from their immune system to their marriage. Dr. Anna Cabeca, triple board certified OBGYN and bestselling author known as The Girlfriend Doctor, sits down with Chalene Johnson to talk about the menopausal symptoms women are quietly suffering through and the simple, affordable solutions most doctors aren't mentioning. What's actually happening to the body after 40, why desire disappears before women even understand why, and the three letter term every woman needs to bring to her next doctor's appointment. Dr. Anna also breaks down what women who've had hysterectomies aren't being told about progesterone, the over the counter DHEA cream that runs about a dollar a day, and why a call to your local compounding pharmacist might be the most underrated first step nobody is talking about.

Your body has been talking to you your whole life. The question is whether anyone ever taught you to listen. In this episode, I want to widen the lens on how you read your own body. We have lost so much of the generational knowledge our mothers and grandmothers once passed down, and now we tend to wait until something hurts before we pay attention. But your body speaks in subtleties long before that. I share one of my great loves, Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old healing system I studied for three years, and its practice of observation called the eightfold examination. What fascinates me most is how closely it aligns with modern functional nutrition's Nutrition Focused Physical Exam. We walk through what your tongue, skin, hair, nails, and eyes may be reflecting about your gut health, your nutrient status, your oxidative stress, and even your blood sugar, backed by research going back nearly 80 years. Here is what matters most. This is not about self-diagnosis. None of these signs are proof of anything on their own. They are invitations to pay attention, not verdicts to fear. My hope is that noticing your body builds confidence instead of anxiety, the quiet confidence of a woman in a loving conversation with her body rather than at war with it. If you take one small thing from this episode, try this. Tomorrow morning, look at your tongue and just notice. Do it for a week. That is the practice.   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 Here is the link to the FREE Ayurveda Mini-Course that I talked about in this episode: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/mybody   Here are the references: Foundational Asif T, Mohiuddin A, Hasan B, Pauly RR.

What if your diagnosis wasn't the beginning of the end — but the beginning of everything? Eight years ago, Bettina Gordon-Wayne was handed a breast cancer diagnosis on a beautiful spring day in Washington, D.C. She had a four-year-old at home, a healthy lifestyle, and zero warning signs. Today, she is eight years cancer-free and biologically 12 years younger than her chronological age. And she has the data to prove it. Bettina spent 30 years as an international journalist interviewing world leaders, billionaires, and global experts. She was always the one asking the questions — until life gave her a story she couldn't cover from a distance. So she turned her investigative rigor toward the science of longevity, logged thousands of hours of research, and rebuilt her health from the inside out. Her TEDx talk "Aging Well, Aging in Reverse" surpassed 100,000 views. Her book The Joy of Later Motherhood sparked a global conversation. And her program, Younger With Age, is helping high-achieving midlife women do exactly what she did — reverse their biological age with data that proves it. In this episode, Dr. Anna and Bettina cover: Why biological age matters far more than the candles on your birthday cake How Bettina conceived naturally at 43 after a year of failed attempts — and what changed The mindset shift that separates women who age slowly from women who don't Why healthy living didn't prevent cancer — and how it saved her life anyway The unsexy, free anti-aging strategy that outperforms every biohack How to become a "beauty hunter" and lower cortisol through intentional joy The two words to say to anyone who tells you your best years are behind you Memorable Quotes: We can have true agency over the way we age. — Bettina Gordon-Wayne We can truly get younger with age.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne Get out of the victimhood and become defiant.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne The goal is not just to get older. The goal is to create a life that you are excited to live. — Bettina Gordon-Wayne If anybody tells you that you're too old, too gray, that your ship has sailed, look them straight in the eye and tell them two words: Watch me.— Bettina Gordon-Wayne "Our body is the cathedral of our spirit." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "For every day God gives us, let it be as healthy, vital, and purposeful as possible." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Health shows vitality." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Your diagnosis is not your destiny." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Your diagnosis is not your destiny." — Dr. Anna Cabeca "Our body is the best pharmacy in the world." — Dr. Anna Cabeca   Take Bettina's free biological age quiz at bettinagordon.com/quiz and learn more about the Younger With Age program at bettinagordon.com/program.   Key Timestamps: 00:00 — Dr. Anna opens: "Our body is the cathedral of our spirit" — why renovation and repair are the foundation of longevity 02:15 — Introducing Bettina: from international journalist to first-time mom at 44 to breast cancer survivor to 12 years biologically younger 04:00 — Can we actually reverse biological age in our 50s and 60s?

Welcome to the Komen Health Equity Revolution series on Real Pink — where patients, advocates, researchers and community partners come together to talk honestly about what's standing in the way of breast health equity, and what we're doing to change it. June is Pride Month — a time to celebrate identity, community and the courage it takes to live authentically. Today's conversation sits right at the heart of that. Because advocating for yourself, knowing your body and refusing to be dismissed, that's not just a health message. That's a love letter to who you are. Our guest today is Shelby Smith. She was 30 years old when she noticed something felt off. No family history of breast cancer. Young, healthy, going about her life as a wife and mom to a 7-year-old daughter. But she trusted herself — and that decision changed everything. Shelby faced a 12-centimeter tumor, a bilateral mastectomy, 16 rounds of chemo and 15 rounds of radiation. She did her own research, built her own notebook, asked her own questions — and came out the other side with a message she wants every young woman to hear: Know your normal. And when something doesn't feel right, advocate for yourself. Key Takeaways: Trust your instincts when something feels off Self-advocacy can change outcomes Being informed helps patients navigate treatment Cancer can affect more than physical health Including loved ones in the journey matters Chapters 00:00 Introduction: Shelby's Breast Cancer Story 02:07 Discovering a Lump and Seeking Answers 04:37 Diagnosis, Testing, and Receiving the News 10:07 Research, Self-Advocacy, and Navigating Treatment 17:33 Identity, Family, and Talking to Her Daughter 24:46 Life After Treatment and Advice for Young Women Learn more at realpink.komen.org and komen.org Real Pink, by Susan G.

An Ennis man is preparing to undertake what he believes will be a first-of-its-kind challenge on Ireland's longest river, all in memory of his late wife. This August, Trevor Murphy plans to paddle the entire navigable length of the River Shannon — a remarkable 234-kilometre journey from County Cavan to Limerick City — on a stand-up paddleboard. Trevor is taking on the challenge in memory of his wife Emma, a Clarecastle native and mother of their three children, who sadly passed away in January 2025 following a courageous battle with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. The fundraiser will support breast cancer research and celebrate Emma's life, courage and legacy. Trevor Murphy joined Alan Morrissey on Monday's Morning Focus.

Love the podcast? Send us a text!When you're diagnosed with breast cancer, your first thought is often survival.But what about everything that comes after?For many young adults diagnosed with breast cancer, questions about fertility, family planning, hormone health, identity, and future possibilities quickly become part of the conversation. Yet too many patients never learn about their options until after treatment has already begun.In this episode of Breast Cancer Conversations, Laura Carfang sits down with Kara Bendle, RN, MSN, CPN, CNL, Fertility Preservation and Adolescent & Young Adult (AYA) Program Manager at Cleveland Clinic, to discuss why fertility conversations matter from the very beginning of a cancer diagnosis.Together, they explore:• When fertility preservation conversations should happen• How breast cancer treatments can affect fertility and hormone health• The difference between fertility preservation and family building• Egg freezing, embryo preservation, and ovarian tissue preservation• The emotional impact of infertility and loss of choice• Dating, relationships, and family planning after cancer• Fertility considerations for hormone-positive breast cancer patients• Insurance barriers and access to care• Why patients deserve information—even when options are limited• The importance of keeping future possibilities openThis conversation goes far beyond fertility. It explores identity, grief, survivorship, and the power of informed decision-making after a breast cancer diagnosis.Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, navigating survivorship, or supporting someone you love, this episode offers compassionate and practical guidance for understanding your options and advocating for your future.Love this episode?

What do you do when you're 31, just bought your first house, and hear the words "you have breast cancer"? In this powerful episode, Jen sits down with Jessica Slocumb — a nearly nine-year breast cancer survivor, prevention advocate, and the heart behind the Instagram community @breast.friends_united. Jessica shares the moment everything changed, from feeling a lump while getting ready for work to the radiating pain she believes was God telling her to get checked. We talk about her stage 2, estrogen- and HER2-positive diagnosis, five rounds of chemo, a double mastectomy, and the year of HER2 infusions that followed — plus the honest, messy, in-between parts no one prepares you for. Jessica opens up about the testimony she received on her front stoop, the question her oncologist couldn't answer ("what caused this?"), and how that one unanswered question sent her on a journey to research the lifestyle, environmental, and wellness factors so often left out of the conversation. This conversation is for any woman who's newly diagnosed, in the thick of treatment, or trying to reduce her risk — and for anyone who loves someone walking this road. In this episode we cover: Finding a lump at 31 and why she almost skipped the mammogram Her full treatment path: chemo, double mastectomy, tissue expanders, and recalled implants The "we don't know what causes cancer" answer that changed everything Small, doable swaps to reduce everyday toxic burden — laundry detergent, skincare, food, candles, and water Why diet and going organic were her first changes (glyphosate, grass-fed, pasture-raised) The 28-day study on switching to non-toxic products and breast cancer gene expression Childhood trauma, nervous system regulation, and why stress is part of healing How cancer reshaped her relationships — and the wisdom her husband gave her Releasing the fear of recurrence and living fully anyway Her message for the woman hearing "you have breast cancer" tonight "God takes our ashes and turns them to beauty. This is only a season — your world is not over." Connect with Jessica: Instagram: @breast.friends_united A note: This episode is for education and encouragement, not medical advice. Always work with your own care team on decisions about screening, treatment, and prevention. If this episode moved you, share it with a woman who needs it today — someone is sitting alone in her diagnosis right now, and your share might be the thing that reaches her. And as always… Not Today Cancer.

An important milestone has been reached in the research of GLP-1 drugs, which first transformed the treatment of diabetes. Then they upended the science - and culture - of weight loss. Now, new studies are fuelling optimism about the drugs' potential role in prevention and treatment - especially in breast, colon and lung cancer. Dr Elizabeth McDonald is a Professor of Radiology in the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine and a practicing breast radiologist. Professor McDonald presented the research and speaks with Susie about the results.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons responds to Peter Attia's breast cancer screening episode (#396). Attia asks the right question: why are 42,000 women still dying of breast cancer every year? But his answer, more mammograms and MRI on top, is exactly wrong. Dr. Jenn breaks down, study by study, why that 40-year approach has never moved the death toll.Forty-two thousand women a year. That number has not moved since mammography went mainstream in the 1980s. Detection rates are up, diagnoses are up, and the death toll has not changed. We have been finding more cancer, calling more women patients, and watching the same number of them die. If you have ever scheduled your annual mammogram believing it was the most protective thing you could do, this episode will reframe everything you thought you knew.What You'll LearnWhy the breast cancer death toll has not moved in 40 years, and why more screening is the reasonWhy DCIS is not cancer, why mammography invented it, and what happens to a woman the moment it gets labeled "stage zero"Why an aggressive tumor is aggressive from the day it forms, and why finding it earlier on a mammogram does not change what it does nextWhy mammography catches the cancers least likely to kill you, and routinely misses the ones that willWhat happened when researchers followed 89,835 women for 25 years and compared annual mammography to doing nothing, and why you have never heard about itWhat the Cochrane review found after analyzing every randomized mammography trial ever run, and why Peter Attia addressed it in one sentenceWhy the WISDOM trial, the most significant recent evidence in this space and the one study Attia never mentions, is an indictment of everything he arguedWhy there is no standard radiation dose for a mammogram, and why the woman next to you in the waiting room may have received ten times less than you didWhat the FDA has formally documented about gadolinium staying in the brain and bones for years, and why the women being told to get it every six months are the last women who shouldWhy insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and toxic burden are among the most powerful drivers of breast cancer risk, and why Attia's episode contained zero mention of any of themResources MentionedPeter Attia, Episode 396 on breast cancer screening: peterattiamd.com/breastcancerscreeningDr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley HealthMiller AB, et al.

It has been three years since my left skin-sparing, nipple-sparing mastectomy for the diagnosis of invasive ductal carcinoma (breast cancer).    I just had my annual follow up with the breast surgeon.    The breast surgeon is really focused on catching any new breast cancer. She does a breast exam on the side where there wasn't any cancer, in addition to checking the area around the implant and in the left arm pit (the side where I had the cancer). The breast surgeon also reviews my most recent breast imaging results.     Leading up to this year's breast surgery appointment, I definitely was exhibiting a bit of an attitude towards my breast surgeon.  I reference prior episodes where I recommend always getting a second opinion for the breast surgery and  making sure you're the first or second surgical case of the day.  Both of these episodes are based on my experience with the breast surgeon.     At this appointment, the breast surgeon dove deep into discussion about approaches to screening and how to handle anything in the future that comes up as needing to be biopsied. I wasn't expecting this, but felt deeply reassured in her approach to my breast cancer screening. I was reminded that my breast surgeon is truly an expert (how could I ever forget this?) and although it is true I am always waiting more than an hour to see her (including on the day of my surgery), it doesn't take away from the value that she provides me in my breast cancer life.   The content of this podcast is not intended to substitute professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

The NHS say that one in 3 women who get breast cancer is over 70. That may be logical - the longer you live the greater your chances of getting the disease. But while the average life expectancy for women is 83, after the age of 71 you no longer automatically get invited for a mammogram.In this episode, Victoria talks to Baroness Margaret Hodge, who was diagnosed herself at the age of 80...she talks about her own experience and how she wants a better deal for older women.Brought to you by the Future Dreams charity, "And Then Came Breast Cancer" is for everyone whose lives have been touched by the disease.

In this episode, Dr. Brendan McCarthy breaks down one of the most misunderstood topics in hormone replacement therapy: estradiol. Not all estrogen is the same—and how estradiol is delivered can dramatically affect hormone balance, inflammation, clotting risk, testosterone levels, and overall health outcomes. Dr. McCarthy discusses: • Why route of administration matters (oral, patch, injectable, topical, vaginal, pellet) • How oral estradiol converts to estrone • The differences between estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), and estriol (E3) • Estrone's relationship to inflammation and metabolic health • Oral estrogen and clotting risk • Oral estrogen's effect on SHBG and free testosterone • The impact of oral estrogen on IGF-1 and growth hormone signaling • Why informed consent should be central to hormone therapy • Benefits and limitations of pellets, patches, creams, and injections • Estriol and emerging research in autoimmune conditions such as multiple sclerosis At Protea Medical Center, our philosophy is simple: patients deserve complete information so they can make empowered decisions about their health.

Susan has been connected to The Rose since the mid-1980s, when her boss at Texas Commerce Bank handed her a stack of newspaper articles and asked her to learn everything she could about a surgeon named Dr. Dixie Melillo. That assignment turned into a decades-long relationship with The Rose, years of emceeing fundraising style shows, and an unbroken commitment to the mission that continues today.

Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces Susan Mele: 45 years with Art Park Players, decades of Rose support, her mother's breast cancer journey with Dr. Melillo, and the annual wreath fundraiser named in her mother's honor. 00:52 Dorothy delivers the episode CTA: share this episode and donate at therose.org. 01:38 Dorothy asks Susan to start with herself. Susan describes a lifelong passion for performing, being adopted at 16 days old, and parents who nurtured her drive while grounding her in service and faith. 02:50 Dorothy asks how Susan first learned about The Rose. 02:55 Susan describes working for Tom Watson at Texas Commerce Bank in the mid-1980s. He had her clip every newspaper article she could find about Dr. Dixie Melillo, which led to Dixie joining the bank's board of directors and Susan meeting both Dorothy and Dixie. 03:29 Dorothy notes this connection goes back to 1986 or 1987. 03:47 Susan reflects on what drew her in: the compassion she saw in Dorothy and Dixie, and the contrast between how cancer was perceived in the 1980s and what The Rose was actually doing for women. 05:01 Dorothy recalls The Rose's earliest survivor volunteers and the environment Dixie created, including the time they could not say the word "breast" on television or radio. 05:44 Dorothy asks if breast cancer has touched Susan personally. 05:47 Susan describes her mother's 1993 breast cancer diagnosis. She brought her immediately to Dr. Melillo and The Rose. 06:20 Susan describes her mother's treatment: mastectomy on one side, lumpectomy on the other. Her mother declined reconstructive surgery and was afraid of hair loss. 06:55 Susan describes The Rose's follow-through after surgery: a referral to a wig specialist, fittings for prosthetic breasts and special bras, and ongoing mental and emotional support. Her mother survived. 08:02 Dorothy asks whether that experience deepened Susan's involvement with The Rose. 09:09 Susan describes how the Style Shows worked: store fittings, themed productions, silent auctions, and a community turnout that she believes turned many attendees into lifelong Rose supporters. 10:08 Dorothy asks Susan to recall a favorite Style Show moment. Both remember the 1960s hippie theme as particularly memorable. 11:56 Susan reflects on how events like the Style Show built lasting community investment in The Rose. 12:31 Dorothy asks Susan to talk about Art Park Players. 14:38 Susan describes joining in 1980 as a volunteer vocal coach, working for seven years without pay, then moving to part-time work at $6.50 an hour. She recognized her true calling was not performing but watching children find their voices and confidence. 15:01 Susan describes Art Park Players today: 250 students per semester, the largest children's theater in the city, the largest volunteer base in Deer Park, a Carnival Cruise performance group, a competition troupe through Theater Network of Texas, and scholarship and internship programs. 17:23 Susan describes fundraising within the theater: raising money for student travel, competitions, scholarships, and a private donor who quietly funds costumes and tuition for children whose families cannot afford them. 18:32 Susan reflects on being asked by Sue Finley Myers to carry on the mission when she retired. 18:55 Dorothy asks if students must be Deer Park residents. Susan says no, and describes students traveling from Humble, Cypress, Clear Lake, the Woodlands, and Friendswood. 20:19 Susan confirms Art Park Players is still a dinner theater and the only full year-round dinner theater in the Houston area. She shares that food brings in the husbands. 20:45 Dorothy asks Susan to describe the annual Rose fundraiser. 20:52 Susan describes the origin of the wreath auction: in 2001, volunteers wanted to do something meaningful and creative for The Rose. Inspired by a Circle of Trees event she had helped organize, she proposed handmade wreaths, a never-ending circle with symbolic meaning. 22:52 Susan explains the format: a fall wreath auction for show audiences and a Christmas wreath auction for theater families. Anyone can donate a wreath, and the offerings have grown to include wooden signs, stands, and centerpieces. 24:11 Dorothy confirms the event happens in fall and at Christmas. 24:20 Susan describes a piece made by a longtime volunteer woodworker that now sits in The Rose's lobby, bearing her mother's name. She says friends who come to The Rose for mammograms send her photos of it. 26:36 Susan says the Louise McBee Circle of Life Circle of Wreaths will continue as long as she is alive, regardless of the dollar amount raised. 26:53 Dorothy notes the fundraiser has now run for over 24 years. 27:07 Susan points out that Art Park Players was involved with The Rose even before 2001, through the Style Show partnership in the 1990s, totaling well over three decades of support. 27:33 Dorothy asks Susan's favorite Art Park production. 29:43 Dorothy closes the interview and reflects on the richness of Susan's story. 30:50 Susan shares her final message: everyone is valuable, everyone is worthy, and everyone carries a light. No matter how small the flame, it can be the brightest thing in someone's darkest moment, and that light is hope.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For many women, losing their hair can feel like losing a part of themselves. In this episode, Sarah and oncology nurse Lindsey Jackson have an honest conversation about what to expect, how to prepare, and how to find moments of strength and empowerment along the way. From scalp care and wig resources to supporting children through the process, they're covering it all.

At the Living Beyond Breast Cancer 2026 Conference on Metastatic Breast Cancer, five members of the Breastcancer.org metastatic virtual support groups shared what they'd tell someone who's just been diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. They talked to us about the importance of having hope allowing yourself to grieve, seeking out support, and knowing that you're never alone.

On today's show, we learn that healthcare providers say preventative care for women can lead to early treatment of breast cancer. Plus, we hear that this weekend's Juneteenth celebration in Fayetteville is the 30th consecutive year for the northwest Arkansas observation of the holiday. Plus, we offer a conversation about public libraries and public television in Arkansas.

A breast cancer diagnosis may feel like it changes your entire life in an instant, but it doesn't get to define who you are or make all your choices for you. On today's episode of Real Pink, we're joined by Amanda Sangemino, a remarkable young woman whose diagnosis came at an age when cancer was likely the last thing on her mind. What began with a concern that was initially dismissed ultimately led her to trust her instincts, advocate for herself, and make a series of personal decisions about her treatment and future. Throughout the process, she was determined not to let fear and cancer make every decision for her. Today, she'll talk about the choices that she made about fertility, surgical options and maintaining an active lifestyle and why trusting yourself can be one of the most powerful tools you have. Key Takeaways: Mindset can play a powerful role during treatment Trust your instincts and advocate for yourself Maintaining normalcy can be empowering Don't let cancer make every decision for you A strong support system makes a difference Chapters: 00:00 – Amanda's Breast Cancer Story Begins 01:28 – Finding a Lump and Receiving a Misdiagnosis 04:22 – Seeking a Second Opinion and Getting Answers 07:00 – Why Self-Advocacy Matters for Young Women 10:00 – Fertility, Menopause, and Treatment Decisions 14:43 – Choosing Surgery, Staying Active, and Building Support 23:09 – Amanda's Final Advice Learn more at realpink.komen.org and komen.org Real Pink, by Susan G.

June is Mental Health Month, and in this episode, I want you to hear something clearly. Your mental and emotional health is not a side note to breast cancer or to life after it. It deserves to be a priority, right alongside your physical health. I share a recent stretch of unrelenting pain that pulled me away from my walks and workouts, and how quickly that started to weigh on me mentally, because I want you to know you are not alone in that heaviness. We look at what the research actually shows about how long anxiety and depression can linger after a diagnosis, why isolation makes it harder, and how support changes everything. I also talk honestly about both lifestyle and medication. Nourishing your body and moving it genuinely support your brain, but they do not replace medical care, and reaching for medication when you need it is an act of love, not a failure. I close with a simple reframe. When "what is wrong with me" shows up, try asking "what do I need right now?" instead. You deserve support, friend.

Cancer has long been considered a disease of aging. But diagnoses among adults under 50 are rising significantly, and breast cancer is a major driver of that increase. In this Next Question episode, presented by Eli Lilly and Company, Katie speaks with Dr. Mary Beth Terry, professor of epidemiology and environmental sciences at Columbia University and Executive Director of the Silent Spring Institute, about what may be fueling this troubling trend. They discuss the latest research on breast cancer risk, including the potential role of environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and genetics. Later, Katie is joined by Ali Feller, host of the Ali on the Run Show, who shares her experience being diagnosed with breast cancer at 38 and what it's been like to navigate motherhood while living with Stage 4 disease.

A headline like “weight loss drugs may reduce breast cancer risk” grabs attention fast, but the real story lives in the fine print. We take you through a new Penn Medicine study that observed lower breast cancer rates among women with overweight or obesity who used GLP-1 medications, then we translate what that finding actually means in plain language. Observational data can reveal a signal worth studying, but it cannot prove the medication caused the outcome, and that distinction matters for your decisions and your expectations. We also zoom out to the bigger why: obesity is not just about body size. Fat tissue is biologically active, shaping chronic inflammation, estrogen exposure after menopause, insulin resistance, and even how well the immune system spots abnormal cells. Those pathways help explain why obesity is linked to many cancers, including postmenopausal breast cancer, and why researchers are curious whether effective obesity treatment could shift risk over time. Then we get practical. We review what stronger evidence from randomized controlled trials says so far: GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound do not appear to increase breast cancer risk in the available trial data, even though most trials were not designed to study cancer outcomes for many years. We also discuss why newer studies seem most suggestive for hormone receptor positive breast cancer, along with the leading theories: weight loss itself, improved metabolic health and insulin signaling, reduced inflammation, and the still-unclear possibility of direct GLP-1 effects in cancer biology. If you like evidence-based medicine with real-world context (and a little Philly-life banter), subscribe, share this episode with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons sits down with James Maskell, health economist, founder of the Evolution of Medicine, and the architect of a movement to reverse cognitive decline, to make the case that Alzheimer's is not a death sentence. It is a solvable problem that medicine has been approaching the wrong way for 40 years.James flew to South Africa when his father collapsed and was expected to die. Every doctor in the room was preparing the family for the end. James walked into his father's house and saw black mold on the wall. Days after moving his father out of that environment, he was opening his eyes. Two weeks later, the doctor declared he had no terminal illness at all.This is the episode to send to anyone who's been told a declining mind is the only end of the story.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy there is no effective drug for Alzheimer's and why 40 years of pharmaceutical research has been chasing the wrong targetWhat the 6 root cause categories driving cognitive decline actually are and why they are the same ones driving breast cancerWhat the first randomized controlled trial on reversing Alzheimer's showed and why 91% of participants got better without a drugWhy catching even a single point drop on a cognitive test can prevent full decline if you act on it immediatelyHow biotoxins like mold can trigger what looks exactly like end stage Alzheimer's and how removing the cause reverses itWhy loneliness and loss of purpose are not soft factors but measurable root causes of cognitive decline and breast cancerWhat the Blue Zones actually have in common and why it has nothing to do with supplements or technologyWhy community is one of the most powerful clinical interventions we have and how to start building it todayEpisode Timeline00:00 Why Community Is the Most Powerful Clinical Intervention We Have07:15 40 Years of Alzheimer's Drugs and Nothing to Show for It12:57 Why Neurologists Are the Last Doctors to Accept This Science18:23 The Myth That You Were Healthy Right Up Until Your Diagnosis26:03 Catching Cognitive Decline Before It Becomes Alzheimer's30:41 The 6 Root Cause Categories Driving Cognitive Decline and Breast Cancer33:21 The Science Behind Why Your Social Circle Shapes Your Health Outcomes37:41 How Retirement, Isolation, and Lost Purpose Are Fueling Chronic Disease41:20 Trying to Change the System Is the Wrong Goal45:51 Why the Chronic Disease Crisis Will Force the System to Collapse53:10 How Real Health Change Starts at the Grassroots Level59:08 Final Thoughts on Taking Your Health BackWhere to Find James Maskell:Instagram: @mrjamesmaskellWebsite: jamesmaskell.comTo 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

Pancreatic Cancer Halted by Virus Injection Researchers injected an engineered virus directly into pancreatic tumors in three patients — the virus replicated inside malignant cells, triggered an immune response, and stopped tumor growth and spread at an intentionally low early dose. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why oncolytic viruses can do what chemotherapy can't, how the tumor's dense biological wall becomes less of an advantage when a virus can replicate inside it directly, and why a measurable response at a safety dose is the kind of early signal that changes how he's watching this field. Sources: https://www.newscientist.com AI Chatbots and Teen Mental Health A new survey shows roughly one in five adolescents and young adults are now going to AI chatbots when they feel sad, anxious, nervous, or stressed, with usage heaviest in the 18–21 range. Host Dave Asprey explains why general-purpose language models designed to be engaging are dangerous as a substitute for real mental health support, why false reassurance from a chatbot may make the pipeline to real care harder to reach, and why this is a health systems story masquerading as a tech adoption story — and what parents need to do about it. Sources: https://www.nbcnews.com GLP-1 Drugs Cut Breast Cancer Risk Penn Medicine published a retrospective analysis of over 111,000 women finding GLP-1 exposure associated with about 35% lower odds of breast cancer in the full cohort and around 30% lower in a matched comparison group. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this isn't just a weight loss story — it's a metabolic dysfunction story — explains the insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormonal environment mechanisms that may be driving the signal, and makes the case that this finding should be reshaping how oncologists and OBGYNs think about high-risk patients right now. Sources: https://www.pennmedicine.org Putin's $26 Billion Longevity Program The Wall Street Journal reports that Russia has made anti-aging research a Kremlin-level national priority through a $26 billion program including gene therapy, organ bioprinting, and xenotransplantation, led by Putin's daughter Maria Vorontsova and physicist Mikhail Kovalchuk. Host Dave Asprey breaks down what's geopolitical theater, what's legitimately frontier science, and why the real question is whether any findings will make it out to the broader research community or get locked inside a state program. Sources: https://www.wsj.com https://www.france24.com Sauna vs. Cold Plunge A landmark Finnish study tracked over 2,300 men for nearly 21 years and found increasing sauna frequency associated with dramatically lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality — strongest at four or more sessions per week. Host Dave Asprey settles the debate with the actual data, explains what heat shock proteins and cold shock proteins actually are and why the evidence base behind them is nowhere near equivalent, and calls out the wellness marketing presenting early-stage mouse model research as the cold water equivalent of two decades of human mortality outcomes. Sources: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2521522 This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level clarity on cancer treatment breakthroughs, adolescent mental health and AI, metabolic drivers of disease, geopolitical longevity science, and the real evidence behind popular recovery modalities. Host Dave Asprey connects emerging clinical research, objective epidemiological data, and real-world optimization protocols into actionable frameworks for extending healthspan, sharpening performance, and staying ahead of the science.

What do I even eat? If that question has ever stopped you in your tracks, this episode is for you. So many of us cycle through the same handful of foods week after week, then feel guilty for not eating more variety. And when we try to fix that, it often turns into more recipes, more shopping, and more pressure to find the perfect anti-cancer diet. In this episode, I want to take that pressure off. The easiest way to add more plants to your plate is probably already in your kitchen. Your spice rack. Herbs and spices are not just flavor; they are plants and parts of plants, and they bring a whole range of beneficial compounds to your meals in just a couple of teaspoons. We talk about: Why variety matters more than any single super food How one pot of chili can deliver 25 different plant foods Turning one chicken into five meals by changing the seasoning How to know if a spice is still good and how long they really last How to buy and store spices so you actually use them Bringing in new flavors through teas and spice blends This is not a new diet or a new set of rules. It is one simple, enjoyable way to nourish your body using what you already have.   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 Grab the free guide: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/spices   Let's Connect!
