Hello my lovely community,
I've met some wonderful people at in-person cancer and wellness events over the last few weeks.
I was both honored and humbled to speak with people who had recently been diagnosed, had a family history, a friend they are trying to support from afar, or a spouse/child/chosen family member they are loving through cancer.
It reminded me to return to the basics, and not get so caught up in the science of fighting cancer.
That's my training speaking, but connecting with my community on a bigger scale reminded me that those aren't your most burning questions.
What I heard was:
- Is it okay to eat dairy?
- Can I drink even a little bit of alcohol?
- Should I fast? How?
- Wait, vitamin D levels influence risk?! What brand do you recommend?
- Is meat safe?
- Is there more we can be doing to fight this?
- My family member had ____ cancer, what can I do to avoid getting it too?
I heard you loud and clear, and my heart swelled.
--> In the coming weeks, I will be answering each of these questions in depth, and providing actionable steps. I'll also send you some fun things like recipes.
--> If you have a question that wasn't listed here, please reply to this email.
I want to know, and I want you to get the answers you seek.
If it's something I can answer generally, without needing to know other personal factors, it'll be the subject of a future newsletter and/or blog post.
Again, thank you for sharing your stories, and for putting your trust in me.
Sending lots of love,
Michelle
