The Breast Cancer Truth No One’s Talking About 💗 (And What You Can Actually Do)

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — but awareness is only half the story. In this episode, Ali Essig (plant-based nutritionist and Pilates instructor) shares what most people are not talking about: breast cancer prevention. You’ll learn what science shows about food, hormones, stress, and emotional health — and how simple, everyday habits can radically lower your risk. Ali also opens up about her own health journey, the changes she’s made since going plant-based, and why she now believes that “an ounce of prevention is worth a lifetime of peace.” You’ll discover: 🌱 Why early detection isn’t enough — and what really drives prevention 🧠 How long breast cancer actually develops before detection (8–10 years!) 🥛 The surprising link between dairy, hormones, and breast cancer risk 🌸 The truth about soy — and why it’s your breast friend 🌾 How fiber, flaxseed, and broccoli sprouts fight cancer naturally 🔥 Why keto isn’t the answer — and what plant foods do instead ❤️ The emotional and energetic roots of breast cancer: resentment, over-giving, and self-neglect 💚 Practical ways to “build your body’s army” through food, forgiveness, and self-love If you’ve ever wondered what you can really do to protect yourself and the women you love, this episode will give you hope — and a plan.
