Wickedly Smart Women EP150—Dr. Laleh Talebian

Preventing Cancer with a Healthy Lifestyle—with Dr. Laleh Talebian

Dr. Laleh Talebian lost her father to stomach cancer when she was 15 years old. But after earning a PhD in biology, Dr. Laleh realized that 75% of cancers are entirely preventable. So, what can we do to make our wellbeing a priority and prevent disease? How do we build healthy eating and active living into our daily lives?

 Dr. Laleh is a research scientist who specializes in cancer prevention and education. After seven years of working in a clinical setting, she left traditional medicine and its culture of sick care for entrepreneurship. Rather than treat conditions, Dr. Laleh provides true healthcare, helping clients prevent disease through nutrition and other lifestyle choices.

 On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Dr. Laleh joins Anjel to explain how her father’s death inspired her study of molecular biology and why she made the shift from cancer research to cancer prevention and education. She describes her individualized approach to minimizing the risk of disease, sharing the story of a client she helped overcome cancer through diet and exercise. Listen in for insight on prioritizing your health as an entrepreneur and learn how Dr. Laleh can help you heal from a chronic condition—or prevent it from happening in the first place!

In the past few weeks, I have been talking about surviving the holidays. Last week, I talked about lessons learned from the thanksgiving holiday. Some of your responses and reactions has inspired me to stay on this topic at least for one more week. 

How are you surviving the Holidays?

This is a very controversial topic, highly debated, and VERY much promoted by certain group of scientists and food manufacturers. The new and HOT vegan diet debate OR the Plant-based diet. 

I am going to start by a recap of what WE, humans, are supposed to be as species. 

I am sure you have seen and heard of Holiday Survival Tips, online and from many experts. I used to have the same tips for many years. 

I will start by saying that I really hope these new words do not become a part of our normal vocabulary. 

Let’s start by some basic definitions:

Stress: This is your body’s reaction to any change around you that requires a response. This can be physical, emotional, or mental response.  

Biological response to stress: This is what happens in your body to respond to stress. So what are some of these biological responses?

Hormonal response: There are few major hormones that are affected as a result of stress

On many occasions, I get this question from my clients: 

“At what age should I start teaching my kids to eat healthy the way to want me to eat?”

How many times a week do you find yourself saying: I don’t have time? How many times a day do you say: I lost track of time? How often do you actually think about time? How many times in your lifetime have you thought: I wish I had made the time?
