Are you breast self-aware? Do you know what increases your risk of breast cancer? Genetics accounts for approximately 5-10% of cases, but alcohol, a poor diet, obesity, inactivity, your reproductive history, and more are also things to be concerned about. One in eight Canadian women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime (and 1 in 830 men will). If you have dense breasts, regular mammograms may not be enough. Listen in as Dr. Lisa discusses everything from mastalgia (breast pain), and fibrocystic breasts to breast cancer and everything in between.

In this episode, Dr. Lisa talks about all things gut health with certified nutrition practitioner Rachel Einbinder. Too often moms can put their health on the back burner or think that they have to live with common digestive issues like bloating, constipation, or loose stools.

After the birth of her first child, she experienced a life-changing realization about the importance of holistic health for both herself and her family. This sparked a journey into Holistic Nutrition, where she dove deep into understanding the root causes of health issues—not just treating symptoms. Rachel’s approach is all about making wellness simple and sustainable, fitting seamlessly into the busy lives of moms.
