I’m closing out Season 2 of Eat Your Greens with an episode that hits close to home for many people —breast cancer prevention, survivorship, and the everyday choices that make a real difference.
In this episode, I share what the latest research tells us about:
The foods most strongly linked to lower breast cancer risk (spoiler: it’s not just fruits and veggies—fiber, soy, omega-3s, and whole grains all play a role).
Surprising risk factors like alcohol, processed meats, and high-temperature cooking methods—and why they matter.
How diet supports women after diagnosis, including lower recurrence rates and improved survival for those who make specific nutrition and lifestyle changes.
The role of exercise, sleep, stress management, and social connection in reducing risk and improving outcomes.
I even share one of my favorite ways to eat more antioxidant-rich foods—a bright, flavorful beet salad recipe that I promise will change the way you think about beets.
If you’ve ever wondered what practical, science-backed steps you can take to reduce your breast cancer risk—or support someone you love—this episode is for you.
Listen now and let’s finish Season 2 with knowledge you can put on your plate today.
