    The Blame the Food Story: After Breast Cancer Food Stories Series

    Doesn’t it feel good to put the blame for your breast cancer on that unsuspecting cheeseburger? Of course it does! But the truth is, that “feel good” feeling is misplaced. Diet is often discussed in relation to breast cancer risk, yet diet hasn’t been identified as a definitive cause of breast cancer; not that it stops you from blaming and naming your diet as the cause of YOUR breast cancer. Which can only mean one thing - your diet will be a culprit in a recurrence. Ready to change that thinking?  After today’s episode you’ll understand:  Why “blaming the food” is so appealing to your brain The two powerful thoughts behind your tendency to “blame the food” What to do instead of “blame the food”. . .on repeat Click here to submit a booking request for THE CLARITY SESSIONS Click here to get my brand new FREE guide; The 5 Foods Breast Cancer Survivors Worry About Most (and what the science really says) Follow me on Instagram @hormone.breastcancer.dietitian
