Three reasons to minimise alcohol with breast cancer:

1.Increases estrogen, fueling hormone-sensitive cancers.
2.Weakens the immune system, reducing recovery strength.
3.Increases inflammation and adds strain to the liver, impacting recovery.

Sustainability is VITAL when it comes to your cancer recovery diet. You need a diet that works (helps recovery & strengthens your body) AND that you can maintain for months, years and decades. That's why extreme diets (like a raw food diet) are a bad idea. #consistencyiskey

Two tips to cope with the fear of breast cancer recurrence

(1) Never hide your fears. Rationalise them and discuss them with family/friends/therapist

(2) Take actions to reduce the risk.

This helps with anxiety and gives you confidence in moving forward.

To reduce your cancer recurrence risk and be your best after breast cancer treatment, you have to aim for MORE than being mediocre. You need to excel. Eat the BEST foods, do the BEST exercises, and optimise your lifestyle choices to thrive, not just survive.

Being deficient in micronutrients like iron and vitamin D causes inflammation, lowers immunity, and has been linked to chronic disease…and even and increased risk of cancer.

Make sure to have these covered by a nutrient-rich diet AND by appropriate supplementation.

Your journey to ‘beat' breast cancer begins as soon as your treatment starts.

This involves:
1. Living your best the best life you can

2. Taking steps to achieve a stronger body

3. Never letting your diagnosis confine your or define you and stopping achieving your dreams

Poor gut health leads to “leaky gut” where the barrier into your blood stream is weakened. This causes inflammation which is not great for breast cancer recovery. Cutting out processed carbs, supplementing with fermented foods and chewing slowly all help to improve gut health.

Medications like hormone blockers or chemotherapy are given to reduce the risk of breast cancer recurrence

Losing weight, regular exercise and cutting out alcohol also help to reduce the risk of relapse?

Take the medication AND change your lifestyle for maximum benefit

Toxins and bad bacteria entering your blood stream increase inflammation (not good for breast cancer recovery). They can enter through gums, lungs and gut. To minimise them: brush & floss your teeth, don't smoke or vape, and look after your gut through a good diet.

If you can watch Netflix or listen to a podcast whilst exercising you're not doing it right. You need to be doing exercise that stimulates your heart, lungs and muscles, gets you out of breath and gets you sweaty. That's the best exercise that helps beat breast cancer.
