121. If your mom had breast cancer, does that mean you will too? (Re-release)
Today's guest is discussing genetic testing, specifically because she has tested positive for a strong breast cancer gene. She believes this is the same gene that caused her mother to have breast cancer.
I've often wondered, if a close relative has had cancer, does that increase my chances of developing it as well?
What steps can be taken to prevent cancer if there is a significant family history of it?
How "close" does a relative need to be for their cancer diagnosis to raise their own risk?
Krista answered all these questions and so many more.
This is a tricky topic, and I'll be honest, it's a little scary when you think about getting tested to see if you have a higher likelihood of cancer.
However, Krista is very clear that knowledge is power, and it's better to understand the risks associated with your genetics so you can take action to mitigate them.
A couple of our takeaways:
We had an enlightening conversation about the relationship between stress and cancer. We both know that stress plays a huge role in cancer.
We both agree that organic produce is the best choice, though we recognize that it can be expensive. We discussed some creative strategies for incorporating 8 to 10 servings of organic produce into our daily diets without overspending.
