“I’m trying to get boob cancer” said NO ONE EVER! Yet our everyday choices have a much bigger influence on our cancer risk than we realize. To kick off breast cancer awareness month, I wanted to bring you the latest scoop from one of the most important voices in breast cancer empowerment today, Kristi Funk, MD. She’s a board-certified breast cancer surgeon, best-selling author, and women’s health advocate based in Los Angeles. Dr. Funk brings a refreshingly holistic approach to this killer disease––a super geek for science AND a tireless champion for healthy habits. Whether you or someone you know is currently dealing with breast cancer or you just want to help prevent it, you’ll want to listen to this conversation as we dig into Dr. Funk’s 4-pronged approach to beating the odds. We break down the hows and whys of diet, exercise, weight issues, and yes, the real story about that glass of wine that takes the edge off. Confused by the good-for-you-bad-for-you stories about soy? We settle it for you. So get ready to take control of your well-being and learn how to make your cells say “Thanks, but no thanks” to cancer!
