You can completely recover from cancer. I’m living proof!
A tumor on my ovary the size of a football! 
My entire life flipped upside down. Surgery. Chemo. and the long recovery after.
I struggled for months on months after I finished chemo. I needed to get back to myself.
Find health again. Find myself again.
After months of cancer fatigue, hot flashes, and gaining weight *sigh*
I wondered if I would ever feel healthy again?
Well – as you can see – I am healthier now than I was before cancer. I just needed to fuel my body to lose the weight and reclaim my energy. And the hot flashes? I’m completely hot flash free! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg0R9EJAQ23/

Step 2 Eat Plant Forward
5:37now let’s clear this up because eating5:39plant forward does not mean the absence5:42of animal protein eating plant forward5:44means that the majority of foods that5:46you’re eating are plants and here’s how5:48to build your plate like a cancer5:51thriver I want you to load up half of5:54your plate with vegetables yes half I5:57know that’s a lot but there’s a reason5:59reason for this vegetables are packed6:02with antioxidants and fiber and that’s6:04exactly what you need to help recover6:06from cancer and stay in cancer remission6:09fiber has been shown to reduce your risk6:11of a Cancer recurrence and antioxidants6:14well they help restore your immune6:16system and also help lower your risk of6:18a cancer recurrence now fiber and6:20antioxidants they’re mostly found in6:22fruits and vegetables so start by6:24building half of your plate with6:26vegetables at each meal breakfast lunch6:28and supper now breakfast is going to be6:31the most challenging so start here make6:33an egg or an egg white omelette and add6:36some spinach to it now you’re eating6:38lean protein and you’re eating plant6:40forward on to step number three targeted
Step 3 Targeted Cardio Exercise
6:43cardio exercise you need to be strategic6:45about your exercise or your movement6:47this is one of the steps that make the6:49biggest impact in lowering your risk of6:51a cancer recurrence when you use6:53targeted cardio in combination with6:56targeted strength training you can lower6:58your risk of a cancer recurrence by up7:00to7:0259% now a lot of cancer survivors7:04mistakenly think that they just need to7:07rest and recover after their cancer7:09treatment if they want to reclaim their7:11energy if they want to feel like7:12themselves again then they just need to7:14rest but this is 100% inaccurate you7:18need to be strategic about your exercise7:21here’s how you’re going to do that start7:23with low intensity cardio I want you to7:25start with gentle exercise walking start7:28by tracking how many steps you take in a7:30day do that for S days just make a note7:33of how many steps you’re taking every7:35day once that’s done figure out the7:37average daily steps that you take over7:39that 7-Day period for the upcoming week7:42I want you to add 500 steps that’s now7:44your new goal you’re going to repeat7:46this process every week until you hit7:4910,000 steps but don’t worry if it takes7:51you a bit to get to 10,000 steps this is7:54not a race you’re still reducing your7:56cancer risk over time your ultimate goal7:59is is to hit 150 to 300 minutes of low8:02intensity cardio every single week but I8:05also do not want you to dive into8:08high-intensity cardio exercise this can8:10make your long chemo side effects worse8:13joint pain hot flashes exhaustion it can8:16actually make it worse it’s also not the8:19best approach to drop weight after8:21cancer either you want to start slow and8:23steady so start with walking this gentle8:26approach will help you reclaim your body8:29much faster after cancer will still8:31lowering your cancer risk that brings me
Step 4 Targeted Strength Training
8:36you need to use strength training in8:38combination with low intensity cardio8:40 it’s the combination of the two together8:42that’s been shown to lower your risk of8:44cancer by up to 59% now lots of women8:47are Keen to jump on the cardio part8:49makes sense we all know how to walk we8:51all feel comfortable doing that but8:53strength training that can be8:55intimidating but it doesn’t have to be8:57strength training can be done with just8:59just your body weight that’s it starting9:01with your body weight alone is a perfect9:04place to start strength training should9:05be done two to three times per week and9:07should focus on a full body exercise9:10there are some people who like to train9:12an arm day or a leg day but that should9:15not be your approach here you need to9:16focus on full body strength training9:19with each session okay next up is Step
Step 5 Cancer Prevention Supplements
9:24 supplements now this step is not what9:26you think there are a lot of cancer9:28 survivors that search for this one9:31magical supplement that’s going to lower9:33their risk of a cancer recurrence some9:36pill or powder that can stop cancer but9:38without addressing your nutrition and9:41the rest of these steps then focusing on9:43 supplements will make very little impac t9:46 they’re called supplements for a reason9:49they’re designed to supplement your9:51nutrition so we actually need to make9:53sure that you’re fueling your body9:54correctly before we dive into which 9:57 supplements are best for you don’t spend9:59spend time or energy here unless you’re10:02confident that the rest of these nine10:04steps are maximized okay and next isStep 6 Beans Legumes 10:07

Step 7 Foods to Avoid
seven avoid these two Foods there’s a10:45lot of Babble online about what foods to10:47avoid after cancer sugar dairy meat the10:51list goes on and on it’s exhausting and10:54it’s also largely untrue there are two10:56foods that you should seriously consider10:59avoiding or limiting and it’s not sugar11:01sugar has never been linked to11:03increasing your risk of cancer or11:05fueling cancer there’s never been any11:08scientific evidence on that now of11:10course a high sugar diet well that’s not11:12healthy for anyone but if you’re fueling11:14your body with healthy Whole Foods then11:17it’s okay to have a treat every once in11:20a while you do not need to completely 11:23avoid sugar but the foods that have11:25consistently been linked to increasing11:28your risk of cancer are two things11:30 processed meats and alcohol first11:33 processed Meats now processed meats or11:35 any meat that’s had something done to it11:37to change its shelf life or to change11:39its color or its taste these are things11:42like cured ham bacon or hot dogs or deli11:46meat they have been shown to increase11:48your risk of cancer or a cancer11:49recurrence it’s unclear at this time if11:52nitrates in processed meats are what’s11:55responsible or if it’s something else so11:57to be safe it’s better best to avoid all12:00processed meats nitrate-free or not12:03second is alcohol alcohol has been known12:06to raise your risk of cancer let me give12:09you specific numbers we know that women12:11who drink less than six drinks per week12:14so less than a drink a day well they12:17increase their risk of cancer by about12:199% but women who drink less than four12:22drinks per week so less than a half a12:24drink a day will they increase their12:26risk of cancer by about 4% so if you12:29want to occasionally enjoy a drink or a12:32glass of wine with friends then go for12:34it but the more you cut back the lower
