In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, we're talking about the concept of resistance — a natural, human response to discomfort, fear, and change. Resistance can show up in many forms, whether you're facing a difficult decision, trying to adopt new habits, or navigating life after cancer treatment. But here's the good news: resistance isn't something to fight. It's a powerful signal that you're on the verge of growth. Let's talk about: -Why does resistance come up -How can it affect your ability to move forward -How to work with resistance instead of against it I'll give you practical steps to help you embrace resistance as a natural part of the healing journey and turn it into an opportunity for personal growth. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Understanding Resistance: Why resistance is a natural and protective mechanism our minds use to avoid discomfort and uncertainty. The Science Behind Resistance: Discover how theories like cognitive dissonance and the Fogg Behavior Model explain why we resist change and how to break free from it. How Resistance Shows Up: Explore the subtle ways we resist without even realizing it, like procrastination, perfectionism, and busyness. Practical Steps to Overcome Resistance: Learn actionable strategies to embrace resistance, including acknowledging it, breaking tasks into smaller steps, and using self-compassion. Self-Determination Theory: Find out how to tap into your autonomy and regain control to make healthier decisions that align with your goals and values. Why Resistance is Part of the Healing Journey: Learn how to reframe resistance as a sign of growth, especially after cancer treatment or any major life change. Key Takeaways: Resistance isn't your enemy. It's a natural response to fear and discomfort that can guide you to a better, more resilient version of yourself. Embrace small, manageable steps to break through resistance and make progress, even when it feels challenging. Recognizing subtle forms of resistance, like busyness and perfectionism, can help you break free from inaction. Self-compassion and shifting your mindset are powerful tools to move through resistance with grace.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer™, we're talking about a common and little-talked-about side effect of breast cancer treatment and day-to-day living: digestive changes. If you've experienced bloating, reflux, fatigue, or that uncomfortable feeling of fullness after eating, this episode is for you. You'll learn why hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid) is often misdiagnosed as high stomach acid, how breast cancer treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and hormonal therapy contribute to poor digestion, and why treating symptoms with acid-blocking medications might be doing more harm than good. Most importantly, we'll cover simple, nurturing steps — like mindful eating habits and nutrient support — to help you feel better, absorb more nutrients, and reconnect with your body's healing capacity.

Have you ever felt like you just breathe easier when you step outside? There's a reason for that—and it's much deeper than simply “liking” nature. In this episode, we dive into why humans are biologically wired to crave nature and what happens when we ignore that inner pull for too long. We'll explore the science behind Nature Deficit Disorder, the powerful mind-body effects of spending time outside, and how reconnecting with the natural world can support emotional, metabolic, and immune health—especially after breast cancer. You'll hear about: What Nature Deficit Disorder is and why it matters The science behind our innate drive to seek connection with the earth How chronic indoor living impacts your stress levels, sleep, mood, and immunity Why just 120 minutes of nature exposure per week can boost your health (Scientific Reports study) What happens in your brain when you spend time outside (NIH article on reduced rumination) Practical, simple ways to reconnect with nature no matter where you live

Do you think it's normal to feel discomfort in your body? Or do you recognize discomfort as your body's attempt to communicate with you? In this thought-provoking episode, I challenge the idea that our bodies betray us. We'll talk about how we've been conditioned to ignore discomfort, push through pain, and normalize symptoms like bloating, fatigue, inflammation, and poor sleep—until something more serious forces us to listen. I'll share my personal experiences and real-life stories—including the heartbreaking loss of my brother to a curable cancer—to illustrate why tuning into your body's signals matters now, not later. I'll walk you through the challenges of behavior change, the role of chronic stress in disconnecting us from our own bodies, and how mindfulness can help us rebuild trust and awareness. This episode isn't just for breast cancer survivors—it's for everyone who wants to live a more connected, healthy, and intentional life.

Dr. Deepak Kademani discusses how to successfully host an oral cancer screening event – from planning to community outreach – and shares insights on the importance of early detection.
In this episode, we got real about something most of us don't think about nearly enough: oral cancer—and why your mouth might be trying to tell you something important. April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and we wanted to shine a light (literally and figuratively) on how vital it is to be aware of what's happening in our mouths. We opened up about how oral cancer claims one life every hour in the U.S., and yet many people don't even know how to check for it—or that they should be checking in the first place. I shared my own story. Even though I didn't have oral cancer, I was diagnosed with breast cancer—and the first warning signs actually started in my mouth. As a dental hygienist, I knew my gums were healthy. So when they started bleeding without explanation, despite perfect brushing and flossing habits, I knew something was up. Turns out, my mouth was trying to tell me something my bloodwork missed. Key Takeaways from the Episode:-Your mouth is a mirror to your overall health. Bleeding gums, sores that won't heal, red or white patches, or chronic sore throats could all be early signs of something serious.-Oral cancer isn't always visible or painful at first. That's why monthly self-checks and regular screenings with your dentist are so important.-HPV and vaping are rising causes of oral cancer in younger populations—so this isn't just a concern for older folks or smokers anymore.-Self-advocacy matters. If something feels off, trust your gut. Get a second opinion. Don't let anyone dismiss your concerns.-We also mentioned a friend of mine, Susan Cotton, and her Cotton Method, which helps both dental professionals and individuals perform effective self-exams. My personal challenge to you: take 60 seconds today and look in your mouth. Really look. Move your tongue, check your cheeks, your throat, under your lips. Do it for yourself and your loved ones. Oral health is whole-body health. Your mouth might just save your life. Book a consultation today:I am always here to help answer any question and schedule a 15 minute call with me. If I can not help, I can get you to a provider that can.https://shereewertz.com/15-min

In this episode of the Better Than Before Breast Cancer podcast, we're diving into how common post-treatment medications—like Tamoxifen, Aromatase Inhibitors (Letrozole, Anastrozole, Exemestane), Herceptin, Fulvestrant, and Bisphosphonates (like Fosamax and Reclast)—can deplete critical nutrients your body needs to feel good and stay strong. Have you ever wondered if the medications you're taking after breast cancer treatment could be affecting your energy, mood, or even your bone health? You're not imagining things. You'll learn: Which nutrients are most commonly depleted by these medications (like magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, B12, and CoQ10) The symptoms that may be tied to nutrient deficiencies (think fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and more) How some medications may increase cholesterol levels or raise your risk of fatty liver Why supporting your body with the right foods and lifestyle habits can make all the difference Plus, I'll share simple, whole-food nutrition strategies and daily lifestyle tips that can help you feel more energized, support your bones, balance your mood, and reduce long-term side effects—without adding overwhelm. Whether you're taking medications now or just want to be prepared, this episode is packed with practical, supportive guidance to help you stay nourished and in tune with your healing body.

Raising awareness about disparities in cancers impacting women, screening among Indigenous populations, and barriers to accessing care is essential. The Association of Cancer Care Centers (ACCC) is dedicating to providing up-to-date information on approaches to improving women's health screening, education, and prevention in Indigenous subpopulations. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Tricia Numan, MD, assistant professor of pathology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center about geographical challenges to accessing care and strategies for culturally tailored approaches for indigenous women. “[There] are some major things that have happened in not so recent past to native populations, and I think it's really important for health care providers to take that recent history into account when they're caring for native patients.” – Tricia Numan, MD “If you want to culturally tailor your health care I think that it's very important, because it's not a one size fits all.” Tricia Numan, MD Gynecologic Pathologist Assistant Professor of Pathology Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine Department of Indigenous Cancer Health Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center Buffalo, New York Resources: Roswell Park Department of Indigenous Cancer Health Oncology Issues Roswell Park Article
In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, Laura Lummer dives into the real—and often overlooked—challenges of making and maintaining lifestyle changes after a breast cancer diagnosis. Starting with a powerful quote from Lao Tzu, “If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading,” Laura reflects on the emotional weight, conditioned beliefs, and survival instincts that make behavior change both essential and incredibly difficult. Whether you've felt stuck in old habits or overwhelmed by the pressure to be “perfectly healthy,” this episode offers a refreshing and compassionate perspective. Laura shares scientific research, personal stories, and practical strategies to help you make lasting, loving changes that align with your true values—not fear. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why trauma and resistance often block behavior change after breast cancer How conditioned thinking and emotional fatigue affect your motivation The two extremes: falling back into old habits or going “all in” out of fear The surprising science on why a diagnosis alone isn't enough to change behavior How to set meaningful, manageable goals without stress or shame The importance of self-compassion and social support in sustainable change How fear-based “health perfectionism” may actually harm your peace Powerful Quotes:

Cancer is one of the most terrifying illnesses of our age - a sudden change that happens silently inside our bodies and slowly eats away at us until there's nothing left. It's also one of the biggest failures of the pharmaceutical age - somewhere between 90 and 97% of all cancer drugs fail at clinical trials. Which is why we're unbelievably excited to bring you our conversation with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, Professor of Biology at Boston College who appears to be hot on the trail of a cure cancer that has nothing to do with the oncology-industrial-complex. According to the dozens of papers he and his colleagues have published over the last few decades, a strict ketogenic diet coupled to a glutamine inhibitor is sufficient to weaken cancer cells to the point that the immune system can actually clear the tumor. A recent paper from his group published in February of 2025 shows the stunning effects of his protocol in a small group of eighteen glioblastoma patients. Median survival for these patients for the last hundred years has been 12-15 months, but with Seyfried's intervention appears to have been extended up to 84 months. That's seven years, for those keeping score.We sit down with Seyfried to take apart his protocol, why it works for cancer, why no one's heard if it, and how everyone has completely misunderstood what cancer actually is.MAKE HISTORY WITH US THIS SUMMER:https://demystifysci.com/demysticon-2025PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show(00:00) Go!(00:07:33) - Reception of Metabolic Cancer Research(00:10:05) - Breakthrough in Glioblastoma Treatment(00:14:49) - Glutamine-Glutamate Cycle in Cancer(00:16:33) - Challenges and Critiques of Standard Care(00:17:43) - Barriers to Implementing Metabolic Therapies(00:24:19) - Radiation and Cancer Treatment(00:26:07) - Metabolic Approach to Cancer(00:27:30) - Evolutionary Biology's Role in Understanding Cancer(00:28:52) - Mitochondria's Role in Cellular Destiny(00:31:39) - The Oxidative Phosphorylation Process(00:35:28) - Cancer and Mitochondrial Function(00:38:43) - Cellular Electrochemical Gradients(00:41:30) - Cancer's Dependency on Fermentable Fuels(00:45:08) - Glutamine's Role in Cancer Treatment(00:52:11) - Patient Compliance and Dietary Challenges(00:55:33) - Glucose Ketone Index for Health Monitoring(01:06:48) - Fenbendazole and Cancer Research(01:10:02) - Medical Industry Business Models(01:13:27) - Diets and Nutritional Ketosis(01:17:06) - Metabolic Variability and Personalization(01:19:25) - Exercise and Metabolic Health(01:23:43) - Historical Misconceptions in Cancer Treatment(01:26:21) - Obesity and Cancer Prevention(01:28:00) - Metabolic Theories of Cancer(01:47:18) - Metastatic Cancer Origins(01:55:24) - Therapeutic and Collaborative Approaches(01:59:57) - Practical Steps and Transformations#CancerResearch, #glioblastoma, #CancerAwareness, #Oncology, #CancerTreatment, #CancerSurvivor, #FightCancer, #EndCancer, #CancerSupport, #ClinicalTrials, #CancerWarrior, #BeatCancer, #CureCancer, #CancerFighter, #StayStrong, #CancerCommunity, #philosophypodcast, #sciencepodcast, #longformpodcast ABOUS US: Anastasia completed her PhD studying bioelectricity at Columbia University.

As part of a Community Health series on The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Dr. Sophia Villanueva, a fellowship-trained colorectal surgeon with Valley Health Surgical Oncology in Winchester. The discussion highlights March as Colon Cancer Awareness Month and covers key topics such as the rise in early-onset colon cancer, the importance of screenings, and preventive measures. To begin, Dr. Villanueva emphasizes that colon cancer, once considered a disease predominantly affecting older adults, is now increasingly being diagnosed in people younger than 50. "We have seen a rise in early onset of colon cancer. Our guidelines have changed now, so screening starts at age 45," states Dr. Villanueva. Addressing the potential causes of this alarming trend, Dr. Villanueva explains that while some cases have a family history, the majority are sporadic, tied to environmental factors, diet, and lifestyle. "Obesity, not having enough fiber, eating highly processed meat and food, higher fat content in our diet, increased alcohol intake, and smoking all contribute to higher risks," she notes. The conversation shifts to the symptoms of colon cancer. Dr. Villanueva highlights that symptoms often include anemia, changes in bowel habits, abdominal discomfort, rectal bleeding, and unexplained weight loss. "It's important not to dismiss these symptoms, even if you're younger than 50," she advises. When discussing the benefits of early detection, Dr. Villanueva stresses that prompt treatment vastly improves survival rates. "About 90% of colon cancer cases can be treated successfully if caught early," she says. She highlights the importance of routine colonoscopies, describing them as both diagnostic and therapeutic. Janet and Dr. Villanueva delve into the colonoscopy process, aiming to dispel common fears. They explain that the most uncomfortable part is usually the bowel prep, which involves clearing the intestines. "You get sedated during the procedure, and it's not uncomfortable at all," reassures Dr. Villanueva. The conversation also covers alternative screening methods like stool tests. However, Dr. Villanueva underscores that colonoscopies remain the gold standard, as they allow for the removal of polyps during the procedure itself. If diagnosed with colon cancer, the primary treatment is surgery, especially if the cancer hasn't spread to other organs. Dr. Villanueva points out the advancements in minimally invasive, robotic surgeries that ensure quicker recovery, less pain, and faster return to daily activities. "Most people can go home within two to three days after surgery," she explains, highlighting the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols that have revolutionized patient outcomes. The discussion concludes with a fascinating mention of an inflatable colon exhibit at Winchester Medical Center on March 24th, designed to raise awareness and educate the public about colon cancer. Dr. Villanueva encourages everyone to participate, promising an informative and engaging experience. The inflatable colon exhibit is part of Valley Health's initiative to promote colorectal cancer awareness during National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. After its debut at WMC, the exhibit will travel to other Valley Health campuses to continue educating the community. Visitors can walk through the inflatable colon to get a close-up look at healthy colon tissues, tissue with non-malignant colorectal diseases, and tissue with various stages of colorectal cancer. In wrapping up, Dr. Villanueva emphasizes, "If people get their routine colonoscopy, we can save 40,000 lives every year. It's crucial to spread the word that 45 is the new 50 for colon cancer screenings."
