A Cup of Courage: How Rooibos is Stirring Hope in Breast Cancer Research
In this Real Life Mum The Podcast episode, Mira Naidu sits down with Dr Nicky Verhoog, Senior Lecturer in Biochemistry at Stellenbosch University, to explore groundbreaking research into Rooibos and breast cancer.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and while science is still uncovering the full story, Dr Verhoog’s early findings suggest that Rooibos extracts may help counteract estrogen activity in certain breast cancer cells — an exciting first step for women’s health research right here in South Africa.
They chat about:
💬 How Rooibos interacts with breast cancer cells
💬 Why estrogen plays such a powerful role
💬 What pre-clinical trials in 2026 could reveal
💬 The everyday health benefits of Rooibos beyond cancer
💬 And the importance of awareness, early detection and hope
