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

If you’ve ever felt nervous, worried or panicked about your post-treatment diet, you’re on what I call the food fear continuum. The sneaky thing about this continuum is that it seems to help you (in so many ways!), while in reality it’s a destructive concept that holds you hostage in your food fear and prevents you from eating with peace. If that sounds like you, what can you do? Tune in to learn more about the food fear continuum and get my writing prompt that will help you get off that continuum for good.

If you’re ready to lean into a plant-based diet, but concerned you won’t be able to get enough protein, this episode is for you! Plant-based diets can absolutely meet all of your protein needs (hint: plant-based doesn’t mean vegan) and in today’s episode I share “what” foods and “how” it works to give you an idea of how simple this can be.

If you’re confused about plant-based diets (and most survivors are!), you won’t want to miss this episode where I explain the seven types of plant-based eating. “Plant-based diet” is a term and recommendation you probably hear often, perhaps even from your own treatment team. “Eat a plant-based diet” they’ll say, without any clear explanation of what that means for YOU, nor guidelines on how to implement it in real life. Tune in and learn the subtle differences between these seven types of plant-based diets so you can branch out and find the approach that best suits you.

Ever wonder how your diet expectations became so lofty? Feel frustrated when you don’t live up to those “lofty” diet expectations? I thought so.

We’ll also dive into their dark side to discover what happens when eating after breast cancer becomes a desperate exercise in perfectionism based on those oh-so-lofty diet expectations you’ve set. . .and what to do instead.

Ever feel that if you ask 10 different people what you should eat after hormone-driven breast cancer you’ll get 10 different answers? You’re not alone! One of the most common frustrations I hear from other hormone-driven breast cancer survivors is that it feels impossible to get consistent information about what to eat and avoid after they finish their treatment. If that’s your struggle too, join me here for PART I of “Why you can’t get consistent breast cancer nutrition information”. I define and explain “voodoo” nutrition and discuss the potential harm of following inaccurate nutrition guidelines and advice.

Striving for “perfect” eating is the goal of many post-treatment survivors; perhaps you, too! You and I both know that in your mind eating “perfectly” feels like protection against recurrence. You’re thinking, “If I just eat well enough, cancer will be deterred enough to never, ever come back.” I know that makes sense in the moment you’re fighting the urge to order a burger and fries, but trust me when I say, that thought will only lead you down a path littered with shame and blame. Join me in this episode as I dig into the concept of “good enough” eating, and abandoning the “perfection-at-all-costs” approach.

I know that should you experience a recurrence you'll think your potato chip habit is to blame , but I’m here to tell you nutrition doesn’t work that way.

Tune in to today’s episode and learn the importance and impact of your dietary pattern, two foods that are associated with increased cancer risk, and my number one tip for creating your own health-supportive dietary pattern!
