The Peaceful Plate: Ending Food Panic After Hormone-Driven Breast Cancer

If you suffer from analysis paralysis when it comes to eating a meal or snack, it’s likely because you don’t trust yourself to make the right decision about what you choose to put on your plate. There’s a reason for that! Overthinking. Under-trusting. Confusion. Any and all of those contribute to your inability to unfreeze yourself and just eat the dang sandwich. That said, there’s one more element that can trigger freeze mode, and in today’s episode, I share it, explore it, and offer a suggestion for overcoming it. 

After today’s episode you’ll understand: 

• What triggers food freeze mode 

• The one thing you must fix before you can “unfreeze” yourself

• Two habits that will help you “unfreeze yourself”

There’s no single food you can eat to guarantee no recurrence of breast cancer, but there are foods that provide superior nutrition and beneficial compounds that work together (we call that “synergy”) to potentially reduce your risk of recurrence. As a fellow breast cancer survivor and dietitian, I make it a priority to eat the foods that do that, and in today’s episode I highlight five of them. They also happen to be pink foods, and given this is October - the pinkest of months - they fit right in. Tune in and learn how you can add them to your peaceful plate! 

After today’s episode you’ll know: 

• Five pink foods that add nutrition and flavor while aiding in potential risk reduction

• How these five pink foods are protective of your breast health

• The four benefits these pretty pink foods have in common

In today’s episode I share three examples of October information that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and anxious about how you’re handling your food in survivorship, and the stealthy way they may negatively impact your habits.
