EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS WITH DR. KRISTI FUNK:

[00:09:38] What everyone gets wrong about breast cancer. Kristi Funk gets into the number one misconception everyone has about breast cancer.

[00:11:38] What is more important: my life view, or diet? Kristi Funk’s answer to that question – and explanation – might surprise you. And what is a good diet, anyway?

[00:24:56] Do I have undiagnosed cancer? Kristi Funk dives into what it takes for cancer to become detectable, how our bodies become susceptible to it, and if we actually have detectable, but undiagnosed, cancer multiple times throughout our life. Can you cure your cancer?

[00:35:39] An increased risk of breast cancer. There is a list of things that increase your risk of breast cancer, with studies to back it up. Are you using any of them? Dr. Kristi Funk talks tips to navigate them, including when menopause takes the stage.

[00:43:03] Then let’s talk about menopause. Women don’t often talk about their menopause symptoms; there’s a lot of weirdness and shame about it. Dr. Kristi Funk’s book Breasts: The Owners Manual talks about menopause, symptoms, and relief (with a lot of other “taboo” topics, too).

[00:45:34] Is my bra giving me breast cancer? It sounds plausible; is there anatomy and research backing it up?

[00:48:49] Should I get a mammography? Is it the best imaging available? Is the risk and exposure of radiation worth it, or is my doctor just trying to make more money? If it is worth it, how often should I get one?

[00:56:06] Can menopause actually save you from cancer? 80% of all breast cancer is fueled by estrogen. The chemical changes in your body from menopause might make a difference. Are there other ways to help protect your body from cancer?
