#349 The Truth Behind Nutrition Labels and Marketing - Are All Eggs Created Equal? May 28, 2024

Show notes

Breast cancer and food confusion are real!

We want to be healthy, eat good food, reduce our toxic burden, and be mindful of our budget.

But how do you know what food labels are telling you about the food you're thinking of buying?

What do all of these labels mean and what's best for you?

In this episode, we'll dig into the truth behind labels when it comes to choosing eggs.

According to Statista.com, in 2023 the estimated consumption of eggs in the U.S. was 281.3 eggs per person.

These nutrition powerhouses contain many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, protein, and fat, and they're a good source of heart-healthy nutrients like potassium, folate, and B vitamins.

But are they all created equally?

Check out this episode and learn what you're getting when you pick up a dozen eggs.

#348 Using Breast Cancer, Grief, and Fear to Inspire a Better Life May 24, 2024

Show notes

Breast cancer and life can have a lot of grief, loss, and fear involved, and we can either use those emotions to create even more suffering, or we can choose to use them in ways that inspire us to live even better lives.

Recently the anniversary date of the loss of my brother came around and it got me to thinking about all the ways that loss impacted my life.

In this episode, I'll share all the ways that I turned that grief into growth.

It certainly wasn't easy and it took time and work to understand how to use fear and grief to my benefit rather than resisting them and allowing them to create even more pain in my life.

This is an episode of hope and encouragement in the face of sadness.

#347 Breast Cancer and Surya Brasil Henna - A Non-Toxic Choice for Hair Color May 21, 2024

Show notes

Is Breast cancer just bad luck?

Here's what Breast Cancer UK had to say about that based on a 2015 study published in the Journal of Nature:

"This study confirms what Breast Cancer UK has recognized, that environmental factors such as exposure to toxic chemicals are also key risk factors for certain cancers. It should form part of any cancer prevention strategy."

Additionally, a Finnish Study published in 2015 found that "…the odds of breast cancer increased by 23% among women who used hair dyes compared to those who did not. In women born before 1950, an increase of 28% was noted."

So, if you could change one thing to lower your risk of breast cancer, why not start with hair color?

In this week's Tuesday Terrain Talk, I invited the founder of Surya Brasil Henna, (my personal hair color choice) to share her insights on a product that creates beautiful color and nourishes your hair without toxic chemicals.

Listen now and learn the truth about henna products that won't burn your hair off, covers grey, treat scalp issues, and are easy and affordable.

#344 The First Steps to Take After a Breast Cancer Diagnosis May 10, 2024

Show notes

A diagnosis of breast cancer, whether it's the first one or a recurrence is mind-numbingly frightening.

If it's the first time you've heard the words, "You have cancer."

It's not only frightening but it sends you into a world of language, treatments, and experiences that you have no idea how to understand or manage.

In this episode, I'll clear up some of the fear and confusion around how to handle a new diagnosis.

This isn't about treatments, drugs, or supplements, but the mindset shifts that are so important to care for yourself when faced with a life-threatening illness and difficult treatment decisions.

This is the advice I wish someone had given me when I had my first breast cancer diagnosis.

#342 Breaking Through Limits After Breast Cancer May 03, 2024

Show notes

In my life, it's hard to think of a more powerless experience (other than childhood) than my first diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

That in itself is traumatic.

But when added to all the powerless and limiting thoughts that you are conditioned to think throughout your life, you can be left feeling like the life you dream about is an impossibility.

So, I created this episode to let you know that isn't true.

When you can bring awareness to three ways of thinking that keep you stuck and convinced that you can't have more.

You can start to change anything from your relationships to your job to your passions.

Check out this episode now and start breaking through the thoughts that limit you.
