  2. 32. Dating After Breast Cancer

    32. Dating After Breast Cancer

    Dating after breast cancer can be a daunting experience, especially if you are struggling with feeling confident in your body and worried about how you will be accepted by a potential partner.   In today's episode, I break down what I have learned about dating in a post-pandemic world in a post-mastectomy body.   A few topics I cover:  -How apps can take some of the awkwardness out of telling a new potential partner about your cancer history -The advantages and disadvantages of meeting new people on the apps vs. in real life -How to know when you "are ready to get back out there" -The self-care tools I used to help boost my confidence  -The benefits of sharing your experience and supporting yourself with single friends ...some of the most surprising moments I've had, some of the sweetest moments I've had, and one of the lowest moments I had regarding dealing with other people's reactions to my history as a breast cancer survivor. At the end of the day, dating TRULY can be FUN...even as a cancer survivor.  Being more vigilant about enforcing my boundaries and also being more open, honest, and direct about how to handle my post-cancer body with care has actually been incredibly empowering.  I hope the same for you too!

  4. 30. Fasting & Breast Cancer

    01/25/2023

    30. Fasting & Breast Cancer

    In today's episode, I discuss how participating in a fasting protocol can be beneficial to breast cancer patients. Research has shown very promising results regarding using fasting to lower your risk of breast cancer recurrence and also to enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy treatments.   I have utilized fasting in my life for decades for various reasons and have seen many benefits.   Topics covered in this episode: 1.  What is IF (intermittent fasting)? How do you do it?  2. Why is fasting good to prevent breast cancer from coming back?  3.  How can fasting increase the benefits of chemotherapy treatment and reduce side effects?  4. Who shouldn't fast?  5. Common questions and concerns when starting a fasting protocol 6. How to make fasting easier 7. Why women who don't tolerate Tamoxifen should consider IF 8. My experimentation with fasting over the last 25 years Fasting has been studied as a potential way to improve chemotherapy outcomes. Short-term fasting has been observed to increase chemotherapy sensitivity in some cancer cells, enhance cancer cell death, and reduce chemotherapy-induced side effects. Fasting also increases the levels of certain hormones such as growth hormone, which may be beneficial for chemotherapy efficacy. In addition, fasting may reduce inflammation and oxidative stress, which are important factors in the effectiveness of chemotherapy. Finally, fasting may reset the body’s metabolism, allowing it to better utilize chemotherapy drugs.  As always, thank you for listening! Please subscribe to the podcast, and leave a positive review.  It really helps get this information to the people who need and want it. Plus, I would be so grateful.   If you are interested in working together to create a customized nutrition, stress management and potentially add a fasting protocol to support your body through any stage of the cancer journey, please reach out to me via my website: www.junibwell.com/contact Check out my free resources for breast cancer patients!
