From Emotions To Epigenetics: Rethinking How Breast Cancer Starts
Welcome to part 1 in a 2 part mini-series on breast cancer.
Holistic breast cancer prevention requires us to look at how biology, behavior, and context interact. In this episode we walk through the basics of breast cancer subtypes—hormone receptors and HER2 status—then connect them to what’s actually changing risk in everyday life, from circadian rhythm to detox capacity. The picture that emerges is practical and empowering: even if you “did everything right,” there are levers you can pull to shift your internal environment away from tumor-friendly conditions.
We explore why incidence is rising among younger women, what breast density and earlier menarche really mean, and how night shift work and low melatonin can blunt immune surveillance. From there, we dig into our E3 model—emotions, environment, and epigenetics—to outline the hidden drivers most people miss. You’ll also hear why genes aren’t verdicts—BRCA mutations explain only a minority of cases—and how epigenetics, methylation, and antioxidant pathways guide whether risky signals get amplified or shut down.
