Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

How often have you wondered why you're supposed to follow healthy lifestyle practices? What is the actual purpose? What are they accomplishing in your body?

Especially when you feel ok if you don't follow them and your doctor might even tell you that these practices don't matter or won't make a difference in your treatment.

In this episode, I'll walk you through Cancer 101 by explaining the two competing theories of why we get cancer.

I believe that knowledge is power and when you understand how these theories are both valid and important, you may be more inspired to take power over supporting your metabolic health.

After a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, you may find yourself wanting something new in life.

As a new year approaches, it feels like a good time to set that goal you've been saying you were going to achieve for the last several years.

But here's the thing, unless you understand why you haven't made it happen in the past, saying you want it will probably have the same result its always had.

When you want to create something, change a habit or transform a relationship, the first step is to let go of all the things you've thought about it that have kept you where you are now.

You may think you're being realistic by basing your future on what's happened in the past, but it's the decision to stop living in the past that creates the space you need to move forward.

Sound confusing?

Confusion, overwhelm, and being "stuck" all have one thing in common…lack of self-trust.

It's so easy to get caught up in other people's ideas, opinions, and judgments that you forget something vitally important….you are the expert on you.

You are the only one who knows what you want in your life, what feels good to your body, and what makes you happy.

Isn't it time to learn to trust yourself again?

In this episode, we'll talk about some simple, seemingly innocent thoughts that derail your self-trust and how you can choose a different approach that supports your ability to be confident in creating the life you want to live after breast cancer.

There was a time, not so long ago, when food was a focus of daily life solely for survival.

People farmed, hunted, gardened, canned, and put a lot of effort into ensuring there would be enough food to keep them alive.

Now, there are so many food options that the choices are overwhelming, it's easy to overconsume and become overwhelmed.

Add in the fear factor that comes up after breast cancer and there's a whole new layer of confusion.

You worry about:

The right choice

The safe choice

What will heal you

What will help you lose weight

What will prevent inflammation

And that's how the diet industry gets you or leaves you overwhelmed, and you just give up.

In this show, I'll give you some insights on something more important than what food to choose, what diet to follow, or what new supplement to take…what you think about food and food choices you make.

Sound too simple? Check out this episode and see what you think.

There's no one way to feed every human body but there are ways to support your body in using different foods efficiently. This is referred to as metabolic flexibility and it's an important concept when it comes to support the terrain of your body.

When you're metabolically flexible, you can worry less about eating more carbs now and then because your overall lifestyle helps your body to smoothly transition from occasional indulgences back to your preferred way of eating.

More importantly, metabolic flexibility can reduce the risk of many lifestyle diseases and support healthy aging and longevity.

Listen to this episode and learn more about what metabolic flexibility is, why it's important for your health and how you can improve it starting today.

When it comes to life and breast cancer, it's not uncommon for me to hear women say that they lost a chunk of their life to it or that breast cancer robbed them and they're right.

Anytime we tell ourselves a story like that, we'll find a way to prove we're right.

In this episode, I'll offer you another view, one that allows you to feel all the things that come up and still choose to lean into life regardless of the circumstances.

One of the biggest mistakes I see is women having the belief that everything should feel good and comfortable for it to be right.

I've found exactly the opposite.

The things that we're the most uncomfortable are the things that have brought the biggest rewards to my life.

But you need to have the right tools to support you in creating the life you want while you feel uncomfortable emotions.

Listen now and hear the exact steps to do that.
