In today's episode we're sharing Valerie’s breast cancer recovery story and the integrative tools that helped her tolerate chemo, rebuild resilience, and reframe fear of recurrence. From fasting and fiber to two-minute breathing breaks, we show how small daily choices shift terrain without blame.

• choosing surgery, chemo and radiation with an integrative mindset
• recognizing the exposome and lifelong exposures
• fasting around chemo and gut support with glutamine
• hydration, gentle walking and nature for recovery
• fiber and fermented foods for detox and microbiome
• herbs, yoga and tai chi for nervous system balance
• practical micro-breaks with music and belly breathing
• shifting from self-neglect to self-prioritization
• reducing scan anxiety as five years approaches
• becoming an integrative practitioner to help others
