Episode Synopsis

There are many ways to look at breast cancer – the metabolic – taking into consideration the pathways that promote cancer; the environmental – how increased exposure to toxins is becoming a greater influence; the emotional – how trauma, either recent or many years prior, contributes. But simply put, a cancer diagnosis is a very loud message that there is a loss of harmony – usually in more than one area of the woman’s life. So, the task at hand becomes how to restore harmony – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Carol Lourie is a Naturopath, Acupuncturist, Homeopath, and Holistic Breast Health Expert with more than 35 years of experience understanding complex, chronic diseases. She believes healing is always possible and her mission is to empower women with the tools needed to deeply recover their health and restore their life.
We discussed:

What is the first (most overlooked) step you need to take once you receive a diagnosis
How you can prepare your body and your mind for chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery
How integrative medicine can benefit women going through breast cancer treatment
How mindset plays a part in the success of treatment
What is the one element that people can easily control to reduce their risk of recurrence

Another person to follow with regards to healing from cancer is Nalini Chilkov L.Ac., O.M.D. - https://nalinichilkov.com/the-healing-cancer-support-system/ Dr. Chilkov trains physicians at the Institute for Functional Medicine and was a key speaker at the IFM Annual International Conference which I attended in early June 2023.
To be clear, these resources are complementary to conventional cancer treatments, not to take the place of them.
I hope you find them helpful. Let me know what you think.
To your health and happiness,
