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.
