#400 Breast Cancer Prevention - Why Your Genes Aren't the Whole Story

Better Than Before Breast Cancer with The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach

Many people believe that breast cancer is primarily caused by genetics, but did you know that only 5-10% of cases are linked to inherited mutations like BRCA1, BRCA2, and CHEK2?

The truth is, your overall health and risk of recurrence are influenced by key biological processes such as detoxification, methylation, and inflammation—and these are things you can actively support with your nutrition and lifestyle choices.

In this episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, I break down how these processes impact your health, how to recognize the signs of imbalance in your body, and why a low-carbohydrate diet can be a powerful tool in regulating glucose, insulin, and inflammation.

I also explain why nutrition isn’t about restriction—it’s about giving your body the support it needs to function at its best.

You’ll learn:✔️ Why genetics are only part of the breast cancer risk equation✔️ How detoxification, methylation, and inflammation work together to protect your body✔️ Common signs that these processes may not be working efficiently✔️ How blood sugar regulation impacts detox, inflammation, and cancer risk✔️ How a low-carb, nutrient-dense diet supports healing and reduces recurrence risk✔️ Simple, actionable steps to support your body's detox, inflammation, and methylation pathways

This episode will empower you to understand your unique genetic blueprint and how to make lifestyle changes that align with your body’s needs.

It’s not about fear—it’s about taking control of your health and making choices that truly support healing.
