Breast Cancer Conqueror Podcast

If you've ever wondered why some healing plans work for one person but not another, this episode is for you. Today, I'm joined by Heather Cooan, a double board-certified oncology nutrition consultant and founder of Soil to Soul Nutrition. Heather shares how a personalized, data-driven, and bio-individual approach can help you cut through the confusion of conflicting health advice and create a healing plan based on your unique genetics, health history, and current needs. Heather also gets it. She has faced vulva cancer, Hashimoto's likened sclerosis, and ongoing challenges related to complex PTSD. Which is why, similar to our 7 Essentials System®, Heather focuses on nutrition and nervous system regulation as the foundations of her work. Because Healing Your Emotional Wounds (Essential #4) is equally important as the food you choose to eat. It's all connected. Which is another reason all of us BCC Coaches are big advocates of optimizing your Vitamin D levels with our Vitamin D+K, as this vitamin is just as critical for your mental health as well as your physical health. Buckle up and take notes; this episode is bursting with insight, and her recent article is the best place to start: Nutritional Shortfalls of Vegan Diets: What Your Genetics, Protein Sources, and Lab Work Can Tell You.

"Dad, I want you to tell my story to as many people as possible, so women can detect their cancer early and not go through what I have." Keesha, who passed away at a tragically young age of 34, told her father. Her father, Bob Furniss, who joined us for this episode, has gone above and beyond with her request. He wrote a book: On To Blue: The Story of a Breast Cancer Warrior Through the Eyes of a Dad (learn more here), started an early detection nonprofit for younger (WarriorPrincess.org), and is sharing his daughter's fierce fighting spirit and sage wisdom with you today! Here on this podcast, we know the stories we tell have power. We believe that knowing your body and acting early are so critical in healing breast cancer that it is Essential #7 in Dr. V's 7 Essentials System®. Too many lives have been forever altered by silent symptoms, delayed exams, or the assumption that "it can't happen to me." But it did happen—and so we speak it, write about it, (Click here to review our post on early-onset cancer), and turn pain into passion. Together, let's explore how to listen to our bodies, advocate for our health, and encourage those around us. Bring a tissue box, because this one is personal and deeply moving.
