Julie is joined by herbalist Oscar Sierra, Katy Mathes, and Dr. Sreekanth Reddy to hear a story of how data can change your life and discuss what it actually means to have a BRCA mutation, how you can reduce the risk of cancer without the need for surgery/pharmaceuticals, and a common sense approach to genetic expression.

Ever since Angelina Jolie famously had a preventative mastectomy after finding out she had the BRCA1 mutation, people have been encouraged to get genetic testing to identify if they have an additional risk of cancer. This sounds like something MOJO Health would really encourage, but the “so what” is pointed back towards conventional medicine instead of prevention and doesn’t factor in that conventional medicine brings significant impact to your overall physical and mental health and overall life satisfaction, as explained by Katy Mathes. This decision is far more nuanced and has far greater reach than your oncologist or surgeon will share.

If you are curious whether genetic testing is more good than bad or have a friend or family member considering surgery, listen to MOJO Rising and learn… How to Make Cancer Suck Less!

In this episode, Julie, Oscar, Katy and Dr. Reddy discuss:

1. Katy's BRCA2 Journey and how data has shaped her family

2. The real impact of having preventative surgery

3. Understanding Gene Expression and what that actually means for your health

4. How Epigenetics impacts gene expression

5. Realities around cancer growth and timing

6. Common Sense next steps if you are BRCA positive
