I'm that example, right?

There are studies that show that they improve their cancer outcomes and they get credit for all that good year of taking care of themselves that they did over their life expectancy.

Oh, I love that.

It's so beautiful.

But there's a really beautiful message here.

There was a nurse's health study that did a nice job with this with nutrition.

And it showed that individuals that did more of a healthy diet, not a perfect diet, but just eating a little healthier, a little more vegetables and fruits, a little lower in fat, a little less red meat, don't do the sugar-sweetened beverages, that yes, if you were living a healthy lifestyle and you continued on that trajectory, you had a much better breast cancer outcome.

But guess what this study also showed?

If you learned that, oh my gosh, I've been given this cancer and there's such a lesson here for me to start living healthier now, I'm going to start maybe with having a few breakfasts better each week.

It doesn't need to be perfect right out of the starting bat.

But what they found is that those individuals who all of a sudden pivoted and became more healthy, that they also had that improved risk after the breast cancer diagnosis.

So it's never too late, regardless of what your adversity is, to try to just make yourself a little bit healthier.

You'll feel better, have more vitality, and can help those cancer outcomes.

It's critical.

There are studies that show this.

You know, I would say my biggest success story is when I have a young woman come in and she is refusing chemotherapy and treatment.

And she comes to see me because her hope is that I'll give her a natural remedy to get rid of her cancer.

And what I really hope is that we can meet her where she's at, but yet give her the evidence to show the support of these conventional therapies and the need that they have in the place of an aggressive cancer.

And so what the studies have shown is that patients that refuse a traditional cancer treatment instead only go the alternative route, that they have a two and a half fold increased risk of dying.

Hold on.
