Small Swaps, Big Needle-Movers: A Breast Surgeon’s Short List for Lowering Risk with guest expert Dr. Kristi Funk #78 Oct 23, 2026

Show notes

If you've ever wondered whether soy is secretly feeding cancer cells, whether hormone replacement therapy is a hard no for life after breast cancer, or whether your genes have already decided your fate — this episode is going to change how you think about all three.

I sat down with Dr. Kristi Funk, one of the double board-certified breast cancer surgeon who sat across from me at two of the scariest moments of my life: my original 2014 diagnosis, and again when my cancer came back in 2024. And, yes, she is known as a “breast oncologist to the stars” (Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow, among others).

Dr. Funk breaks risk down into what she calls boulders, pebbles, and sand — a way of figuring out which choices actually move the needle before you waste energy worrying about your deodorant. We get into the real science behind soy, flax, fiber, IGF-1, and what the infamous Women's Health Initiative study actually did and didn't prove about hormone therapy. None of it requires perfection. Just a few strategic swaps.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why Dr. Funk says genetics is not the main reason most women get breast cancer — and what actually is
Her "boulders, pebbles, and sand" framework for prioritizing risk without losing your mind
The four lifestyle "boulders" backed by the strongest science: diet, body weight, alcohol, and inactivity
What IGF-1 is, why your liver makes it, and why too much of it tells cancer cells to grow
The wild Laron syndrome finding that no one in recorded history with the condition has ever had breast cancer
Why soy's reputation as "risky" is backwards — and the specific 25–60% risk drop found across human studies
The difference between whole soy foods and soy protein isolate, and why only one of them counts toward your daily servings
Why six or more soy servings a day can backfire, and where the sweet spot actually is
What a five-week flaxseed study found about tumor division rate, HER2 levels, and cancer cell death
Why the Women's Health Initiative — the study that scared a generation off estrogen — may not say what you think it says

…and so much more to help you focus on meaningful, sustainable choices that support your health now and your functional longevity for decades to come.

Outsmart Cancer: The Red Flags Doctors Miss & Screening Questions to Ask with guest expert Dr. Sanjay Juneja #77 Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

A triple board-certified hematologist, medical oncologist and clinical informaticist reveals why most cancers aren't inherited, the everyday blood-work red flags that get missed, and the exact questions that turn a "negative" result into real peace of mind.

If you've ever skipped a screening because "it doesn't run in my family," this one is for you. My guest is better know to his social following as TheOncDoc, and he wastes no time busting that myth: the vast majority of cancers aren't inherited at all. They're largely a disease of age, time and exposure, which means the everyday choices you make in your 40s, 50s and 60s matter more than most of us were ever told.

We get real about what a "clear" mammogram actually means when nearly half of women have dense breasts, the red flags hiding in your routine blood work, and how to advocate for yourself when you know something isn't right (I also share my own story of a lump that two doctors brushed off).

Then we dig into the science of insulin as a growth signal, why glucose regulation is getting so much attention from oncologists, and the simple, no-prescription-needed habits that move your risk in the right direction. It's “10% Toxic” in action: do your best, skip the panic, and sleep well knowing you're doing the most you can.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why 85–90% of cancers aren't inherited, and why "it doesn't run in my family" is not a reason to skip screening
The dense-breast blind spot: why 40–50% of women can get a "negative" mammogram that misses something, and what contrast-enhanced mammography adds
The questions to ask after a "negative" biopsy so you know it actually sampled the right area
Anemia as an early warning: why new, unexplained low hemoglobin should always prompt the question "Why am I anemic?"
How a healthy appetite is actually a reassuring sign, and which persistent changes (fatigue, bowel habits, appetite) warrant a call to your doctor
Why albumin trending down on your standard blood panel is worth a closer look
Multi-cancer blood tests, decoded: what tests like Galleri can and can't tell you
Why cervical cancer is called "the one cancer that shouldn't exist," and how screening intervals are really set
Insulin, explained: why this hormone acts as a growth factor and what that means for glucose regulation and cancer risk
The heart-rate "snack" strategy, the two-nights-a-week alcohol shift, and other habits that add up over decades

7 Essentials to Outsmart Cancer: Cancer Twice, Thriving Anyway with guest expert Dr. Veronique Desaulniers #76 Oct 11, 2026

Show notes

Check out the seven the exact steps that saved Dr. V’s life — the steps for catching cancer early, detoxing without extremes, and stopping recurrence before it starts.

If you've ever left a screening appointment wondering, “Is that really everything I can do?” this conversation is for you. This October, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I’m pulling out of the vault my sit-down with Dr. Véronique Desaulniers, known as Dr. V, who felt a lump during a breast self-exam in 2004 and faced breast cancer a second time in 2015. Out of those experiences, she built her 7 Essentials system, a step-by-step framework that covers prevention, food, toxins, energy, emotions, herbs, and dental health.

We get into how mammograms, ultrasound, and thermography can work together, how to learn what's normal for your breasts (I share how mine turned up just 11 days after a clear result), what a surprising blood sugar reading taught Dr. V about juicing, and simple ways to lower your everyday toxic load without trying to live in a bubble. Dr. V shares her personal experience and perspective, and every diagnosis is different, so bring what resonates to your own doctor or oncology team before you change anything. My goal isn't to scare you into health. It's to hand you back your agency.

In this episode, you will learn:

Breast Health Awareness Month: why Dr. V prefers that name for October and what it changes about how you think about your breasts all year
How mammograms, ultrasound, and thermography each show something different, and why she suggests pairing tools instead of leaning on just one
A self-exam surprise: how much smaller a lump can be when you know what to feel for, and how the My Breast Friend tool helps you practice
The simple blood tests Dr. V suggests asking your doctor about, including vitamin D and 4 inflammation markers (CRP, homocysteine, LDH, and ESR)
The juicing surprise: what checking her blood sugar after 30 years of juicing changed about her routine
Why she says there's no one-size-fits-all way to eat, and why she likes a Mediterranean-style pattern
What xenoestrogens are, and why she says to look at plastics, heavy metals, and what you put on your skin
A label check you can do today: how to use EWG.org and the ingredient list to spot fragrance, a catch-all term that doesn't have to list what's inside
The role Dr. V gives sleep, stress, and emotional health in her framework, plus the daily “relaxation mode” she recommends
Her perspective on silver fillings and root canals, and the newer root canal approach she mentions
…and so much more to help you become more informed, proactive, and confident about supporting your health for the long run.

About Our Guest Expert:

Dr. Véronique Desaulniers, known as Dr. V, is the founder of Breast Cancer Conqueror and the creator of the 7 Essentials system, a step-by-step wellness framework she developed after facing breast cancer twice. A bioenergetic chiropractor with more than two decades in practice, she is the author of Heal Breast Cancer Naturally and the co-founder of My Breast Friend, a breast self-exam training tool. She shares her research and personal story through blogging, live video, interviews, and podcasts.

Lube Is Not a Treatment Plan: Vaginal Estrogen, DHEA, Peptides & What Your Doctor Should Be Prescribing with Dr. Corinne Menn (Part 2) #75 Oct 02, 2026

Show notes

One of the most trusted OB/GYNs (who’s also a breast cancer survivor!) breaks down vaginal estrogen products, peptide safety, GLP-1s, supplement stacks, and why your DEXA scan matters more than you think.

There is no shortage of products promising to help women feel better through menopause — vaginal estrogen, DHEA, testosterone, peptide stacks, GLP-1s, supplements by the fistful.

But here's the question nobody is asking loudly enough: what actually has the science behind it, and what's just noise?

In Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Corinne Menn, we go deep on the specific vaginal hormone products that are out there — Vagifem, estrogen rings, creams, Intrarosa — and I finally get clarity on which women need what, why one option isn't always enough, and the little application trick that completely changed the game for me.

Then we go somewhere most podcasts won't: peptide stacks, GLP-1s for cancer survivors, and the uncomfortable truth about how many women are spending hundreds on supplements they can't even explain. Dr. Menn draws a line I think every woman needs to hear — between well-studied treatments and unregulated compounds with zero long-term human safety data.

And underneath all of it is a message that hits home for me personally: you cannot out-supplement (or inject or biohack) a bad foundation. Your muscles, your bones, your protein intake, your strength training — that's the real longevity plan. Everything else is just a tool in the toolbox.

In this episode, you will learn:

Why vaginal estrogen is not a one-size-fits-all solution — and how to work with your clinician to adjust if your first approach isn't enough
The difference between Vagifem (estradiol insert), vaginal estrogen cream, and the estrogen ring — and which women benefit from combining more than one
What vaginal DHEA (Intrarosa) is, how it converts to estradiol AND testosterone inside the cells, and the application trick Dr. Menn teaches her patients
The estriol myth: why one common recommendation to use estriol externally isn't actually supported by US evidence
Why local vaginal estrogen does NOT require progesterone for uterine protection — and when progesterone IS non-negotiable
Where low-dose local testosterone fits for women with severe vaginal atrophy, especially those on aromatase inhibitors
The peptide truth bomb: Dr. Menn's blunt assessment about long-term human safety data and popular peptide stacks — "full stop"
Why growth-promoting peptides deserve extra caution for anyone with a cancer history — including reports of skin tumors from tanning peptides
How GLP-1 medications may help certain cancer survivors — but why they come with a serious asterisk around muscle mass, bone density, and nutritional quality
Why your DEXA scan is a better investment than a peptide stack — and why waiting until 65 to check your bone density is "absurd"

About Our Guest Expert:

Dr. Corinne Menn is a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society certified practitioner whose work in menopause care is deeply informed by her own experience as a young breast cancer survivor.

Diagnosed at age 28 while completing her OB/GYN training, she went through chemotherapy-induced menopause, ovarian suppression, and later surgical menopause. She subsequently learned that she carries a BRCA2 mutation. Her personal experience with the gaps in cancer survivorship and menopause care became a major part of her professional focus, including helping women navigate menopause after breast cancer and other medically complex situations.

What Your Oncologist Won't Say: The Lube it Up & Suck it Up B.S. and Hormone Straight Talk with guest expert Dr. Corinne Menn (Part 1) #74 Sep 30, 2026

Show notes

You're told to suffer through menopause after cancer, try lube first, and never question the blanket "no" on hormones. This episode tears that playbook apart.

I sat down with Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB/GYN, Menopause Society certified practitioner, and breast cancer survivor who was diagnosed at just 28 years old, and this conversation blew me away.

Dr. Menn experienced menopause three different ways — from chemotherapy-induced to medically suppressed to surgical — and that lived experience fuels her mission to make sure no woman suffers the way she did.

We unpack why breast cancer is not one disease, why hormone therapy decisions must be individualized, and why the "lube it up and suck it up" culture around painful sex and vaginal atrophy needs to end…NOW!

This is a wake-up call for every woman in menopause, and especially for cancer survivors who've been told their only option is to suffer in silence. Dr. Menn brings the science and the soul to our conversation about genetic testing gaps, the real data on hormone therapy after breast cancer, and why vaginal estrogen should be standard of care, full stop.

Plus, she breaks down what vaginal atrophy actually looks like, why it goes way beyond "dryness," and how untreated GSM can lead to everything from chronic UTIs to hip fractures. If you've ever felt dismissed by your doctor or confused by conflicting advice, this one's for you.

What You'll Learn

Why breast cancer is "as unique as your fingerprint" and why your menopause treatment should be just as individualized
The 3 times Dr. Menn experienced menopause and how each one taught her what the medical system got wrong
Why genetic testing done before 2013 may be dangerously incomplete, and how to request updated panels
The real data on systemic hormone therapy after breast cancer, including what the HABITS and Stockholm trials actually showed
Why vaginal estrogen is now in the NCCN guidelines and should be offered as standard of care to breast cancer survivors
The difference between ER-positive, triple-negative, and DCIS when it comes to hormone therapy risk
Why the "fail first" approach to vaginal dryness (try lube and moisturizers before hormones) is unscientific and harmful
How genital urinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) affects far more than just sex, including UTIs, bladder function, and even hip fractures in older women
What Dr. Menn would have done differently after her own diagnosis: baseline labs, bone density, vaginal hormones, and a real exercise prescription
Samantha's "10% Toxic" philosophy and why trying to eliminate 100% of toxins actually backfired after her first cancer diagnosis
…and more!

About Our Guest

After losing her mother to ovarian cancer at 54 and later discovering she carries the BRCA2 mutation, Dr. Menn dedicated her career to helping women navigate menopause, with a particular focus on breast cancer survivors.

Why wash clothes with toxic cleaners? Try this instead!

It shocked me that our laundry rooms are often one of the most toxic places in our homes.

After breast cancer, I began changing out my personal care and beauty but didn't even think about my cleaning supplies.

For laundry, I found a few brands that are really clean and free of harmful ingredients, but still searched for that fresh scent without the toxic junk.

"Where Did My Vagina Go?": Menopause's Best-Kept Secret with guest expert Karen Martel #73 Sep 15, 2026

Show notes

Menopause's changes almost no one warns you about — vaginal health, stubborn weight gain, hormone therapy timing, GLP-1s done right, and why testosterone deserves way more credit in women's midlife health.

YOUR BODY CHANGED. THAT DOESN’T MEAN YOU FAILED.

You can be eating well, lifting weights, paying attention to your health—and suddenly your body seems to be playing by a completely different set of rules.

In this episode, I sit down with certified hormone specialist and transformational nutrition coach Karen Martel for a candid conversation about the changes women experience during perimenopause and menopause—and the options we may want to discuss with our healthcare teams. We get into the things women are rarely warned about: changes in vaginal tissue, collagen, bone health, body composition (you know, that hunch back we also are getting, too?!), metabolism, energy, stress and even our voices.

Karen also shares her perspective on hormone therapy, why menopause weight gain can feel so stubborn, where GLP-1 medications may fit into the conversation, why preserving muscle becomes increasingly important, and why she believes testosterone deserves much more attention in women’s health.

Most importantly, this isn’t about creating one “perfect” menopause plan. The conversation repeatedly comes back to individualized care, informed choices and supporting your body in ways that help you stay strong, capable and confident for the decades ahead.

In this episode, you will learn:

Discover why more than half of women may experience some form of genitourinary change at menopause—and why almost none of us are told in advance.
The real reason for that "hunchback": why bone density loss in the years after menopause quietly reshapes posture.
Find out why oral and transdermal estrogen are not interchangeable, and what to ask your doctor about the difference.
Hormone therapy after breast cancer: why Karen says this decision is deeply individual—and why she recommends gathering more than one oncologist's opinion.
Learn why testosterone is being studied for a possible role in breast protection, and why this is still an emerging, closely watched area of research.
Discover why roughly 80% of women experience some form of weight change at menopause—even the ones "doing everything right."
Find out why Karen cautions against long fasting windows for many menopausal women, and who fasting can still work well for.
The GLP-1 mistake she sees most often: why going too high, too fast, can backfire on muscle and long-term results.
Discover why Karen wouldn't put a healthy young woman on a GLP-1—and what she'd tell her own daughters.Learn why testosterone does far more than support libido, touching bone strength, brain function and energy.

About Our Guest Expert:

Karen Martel is a Certified Hormone Specialist and Transformational Nutrition Coach, and CEO of Midlife Solutions. Her path into this work started with her own health struggles — hormonal dysfunction in her early 30s, then premature ovarian failure that pushed her into early menopause in her early 40s. That experience became the foundation for her clinical practice today. She hosts The Hormone Solution, a top 1% globally ranked podcast with more than 350 episodes and 2.5 million+ downloads, and her work has been featured by outlets including the University of Arizona Health Sciences.

Show notes

The forever chemicals hiding in period products, the foods and fats that actually calm hot flashes, and the one vitamin D number every breast cancer survivor should know.

If you've ever stood in the feminine care aisle wondering whether your tampons are doing more harm than good, or found yourself googling for the hundredth time what to eat to calm hot flashes, this episode is for you. I sat down with Dr. Anna Cabeca, a triple board-certified OB-GYN known as the Girlfriend Doctor, to talk about the forever chemicals hiding in period products, the foods and fats that actually support your hormones, and why she says muscle is magic in menopause.

We also get into the supplements she swears by, the vitamin D number she wants every breast cancer survivor to hit, and the three simple priorities she comes back to again and again when women ask her how to feel better fast. None of this requires an overhaul. Just a few smart shifts you can start today.

What You'll Learn:

Why forever chemicals in tampons and pads may be doing more to your hormones than you think
What to look for (and skip) before you reach for that "organic" tampon
Menstrual cups, decoded: what Dr. Anna actually thinks about medical-grade silicone as a safer swap
The healthy fats she says are non-negotiable for hormone production during menopause
How to make cruciferous vegetables easier on your gut without giving them up

The bone-and-joint tradeoff of years of cardio, and what to alternate it with instead

Eat Your Way to Live a Decade Longer: The Lost 100-Year-Old Pattern with guest expert Dan Buettner #71 Sep 01, 2026

Show notes

What if the secret to living longer wasn't a supplement or a new diet trend, but something Americans were already eating a hundred years ago? If you've ever wondered why some of the longest-living people on earth seem to skip the fads, the supplements, and the superfood powders entirely, this episode is your answer.

Dan Buettner, the National Geographic Fellow who discovered the world's five Blue Zones, joins me again to unpack the forgotten American diet his team of researchers say could add 6 to 10 years to your life. We get into the five pillars every longevity diet shares, why a daily cup of beans matters more than you'd think, why your toaster might be working against you, and how the friends you keep shape your health more than you realize. This is the real, doable version of eating for a longer life. No extremes required.

If you missed his interview in Season 1, be sure to check out Episode #8!

As for this episode…

What You'll Learn:

Why the standard American diet contributes to hundreds of thousands of premature deaths a year, and what's changed since 1980
The 5 pillars found in every longevity diet in the world
Why a daily cup of beans is linked to living 4 years longer
Why lightly steaming greens (even spinach) may beat eating them raw
The one small kitchen swap tied to weighing 6 pounds less over two years
Why starting your day with a savory breakfast beats cereal or bacon and eggs
How faith and community involvement are linked to living 4–14 years longer
Why your friends' habits are measurably contagious

•Why longevity isn’t about one miracle food, supplement, or 30-day challenge—it’s about habits you can happily repeat for decades.

… and so much more to help you create a lifestyle that supports not only a longer life, but a healthier, more vibrant one.

About Our Guest Expert:

Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist, producer, and New York Times bestselling author best known for discovering and researching the world’s Blue Zones—regions where people consistently live exceptionally long, healthy lives. His work explores the food, movement, social, environmental, and lifestyle patterns shared by some of the world’s longest-lived populations.

In The Blue Zones American Kitchen, Dan turns his attention to the United States, uncovering traditional plant-forward food cultures and heritage recipes that reflect many of the same longevity principles found in Blue Zones around the world.

The Coffee & Sleep Lies You Believe: The Surprising Habits That Protect Your Brain for Life with guest expert Dr. David Perlmutter — #70 Aug 25, 2026

Show notes

If you've ever wondered whether your daily habits are quietly protecting your brain, or quietly working against it, this one's for you. Some of the most powerful things you can do for your memory, your focus, and your long-term brain health aren't found in a prescription. They're in your morning coffee, your nightly sleep, and the way you help your body recover every single day.

I'm joined by returning guest expert Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and 6-time New York Times bestselling author, to unpack the real science on the choices that shape cognitive function, metabolism, and longevity. We get into why coffee is so much more than caffeine, how deep sleep literally washes waste out of your brain overnight, why tracking your sleep might be one of the smartest health moves you make, and what the research actually says about infrared saunas, cold plunges, and heart rate variability. It's practical, it's evidence-based, and you can start using it today.

What You'll Learn:

• Why coffee is far more than caffeine, and the 90-plus bioactive compounds that may help protect your brain

• The daily coffee sweet spot, and the "caffeine curfew" that guards your deep sleep

• How to choose cleaner coffee: organic, mold-free, water-processed decaf, and why flavored blends are a gamble

• Quality over quantity: why "I slept 8 hours" tells you almost nothing about your brain

• How deep sleep activates the glymphatic system to wash away waste tied to cognitive decline, and the minimum you should aim for

• The everyday habits that quietly sabotage restorative sleep, and why a wearable can help you fix them

• What HRV really measures, why higher means more resilient, and simple ways to raise yours

• Hot & Cold therapy: What the science says about infrared saunas and cold plunges, and why heat and cold may share the same protective pathways

• A crucial caution for breast cancer survivors and anyone at risk for lymphedema before starting heat or cold therapy

• The Mouthwash Habit Your Didn't Realize Is Harming You: The surprising connection between your mouth bacteria, mouthwash, blood pressure, and blood sugar

• Brain-Boosting Movement: Why exercise acts like medicine, turning your muscles into hormone-producing organs that support your brain

...and so much more!

GLP-1’s: Magic or Health Trade-Off? Plus an Estrogen Dominance Shocker with guest expert Dr. Nasha Winters — #69 (Part 2) Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

What GLP-1 drugs don't tell you, why muscle is your longevity organ, and the surprising gut-estrogen connection.

In Part 2 of my conversation with integrative oncology expert Dr. Nasha Winters, we dive into one of today's hottest topics: GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro. We unpack why losing weight doesn't always mean becoming healthier, why muscle is truly your longevity organ, and how body composition—not just the number on the scale—can dramatically impact your future health.

We also finally answer the question we left hanging in Part 1: what is the estrobolome, and why does your gut bacteria have this much control over your estrogen? Dr. Nasha breaks down how to build your body's own natural GLP-1 production, what your continuous glucose monitor can teach you that has nothing to do with food, and one seriously blunt truth about hormones and your love life that might change how you think about your next doctor's visit.

This conversation is science-backed, practical, and empowering, reminding us that there are no quick fixes when it comes to longevity—just small, consistent choices that build a healthier future…plus we give the steps to get there.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

Why losing muscle during weight loss can shorten longevity.
The surprising reason body composition matters more than the scale.
What "TOFI" (thin outside, fat inside) means, and why it's more dangerous than looking overweight.
