Ep. 155| Can a Plant-Based Diet Help Reduce Risk of Breast Cancer?

Do you have a loved one in your family who had breast cancer or is currently fighting it? Maybe you’ve just received a breast cancer diagnosis yourself, or it’s a challenge you’ve been going through for a while now.

The question is – is it all just genetics? Just because your mother or grandmother had it, does it mean you will definitely get it too? Or can our risk be lowered through changes in the way we eat?

Let’s talk about this. In this episode, let’s see if breast cancer risk can be reduced by changing up the foods on our plate, particularly if it is including more plant-based foods. Let’s look at some recent research on this topic. Grab a warm cup of tea and let’s get started!
