If you didn’t know, or incase you forgot:
- 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the United States
- 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed with cancer
- Around 40% of people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point during their lifetimes
Wake up call, right?
Wrong. Chances are some of you are still saying “that couldn’t be me”.
I was like you, too. When my husband, Ayez, was diagnosed with ALS about 5 years ago, I was not sleeping- maybe three or four hours at most, and under copious amounts of stress. It’s hard to think about yourself when you have a medically fragile husband, two children, and two businesses to take care of.
What I didn’t know was that I was creating a perfect environment- practically a spa- for cancer cells to thrive.
Three years after Ayez’s diagnosis, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2019. One of the first phone calls that I made afterwards was to my good friend, Dr. Nalini Chilkhov, whom I was absolutely honored to have on my podcast this week.
Follow along with these timestamps- even if you haven’t been touched by cancer. I wish I had taken cancer prevention much more seriously 5 years ago.

P.S. Have you heard of resveratrol? It’s a powerful naturally-occurring antioxidant that we talk about in the podcast. This is a key ingredient in Mitocore, a supplement that is 20% off in my store this month- with the code 20OFF.
