In this episode, I’m breaking down the critical blood tests your oncologist probably isn’t running — but that can make a huge difference in your recovery and long-term health. ⚠️ This is a must-watch if:•  You’ve finished cancer treatment and feel stuck with vague advice like “just eat healthy.”•  You want a clearer picture of what’s really going on inside your body.•  You’re ready to stop guessing and start using data to lower your recurrence risk. 🩸 We’ll cover the specific blood markers I use with clients inside our post-cancer program — including:1. IGF-1 – Why too much of this growth factor can increase recurrence risk (and how to lower it)2. Blood sugar + insulin – What your HOMA-IR tells you and why balanced glucose is way more than a diabetes issue3. Cholesterol – How chemo and hormone therapy can affect your heart and what advanced markers to test4. Inflammation markers – Like hsCRP, ferritin, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and what they tell us about healing5. Vitamin D – The actual levels to aim for when it comes to cancer support (hint: “normal” might not be optimal) 📊 When we have the right data, we can build a tailored food, supplement, and lifestyle plan to support your healing and help your body stay cancer-free. This isn’t guesswork. This is proactive, research-backed care — so you can stop living in fear and start living fully. 🌱 ✨ BEST FREE RESOURCES:•  The Staying Cancer-Free Workshop: https://flourishaftercancer.com/WorkshopSignUp•  My Blood Work Facts Handout: https://flourishaftercancer.com/BloodWorkHandout•  How To Stay Cancer-Free: Tackling Cancer Stem Cells: https://flourishaftercancer.com/blog/how-to-stay-cancer-free-tacking-cancer-stem-cells  •  Tackling Cancer Prevention: The 6 Pillars of Defense: https://flourishaftercancer.com/blog/tackling-cancer-prevention-the-6-pillars-of-defense Let's Connect! Book a free Roadmap Call and let’s chat about how we can help: https://flourishaftercancer.com/Apply  Follow me:• Instagram: @MeganBernardND• Facebook:  @MeganBernardND• Website: https://flourishaftercancer.com/ Medical Disclaimer: The information provided in these videos and podcasts is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
