Living with a metastatic breast cancer diagnosis can often feel like the ground has shifted beneath you.

But it doesn’t mean you have no options.

There are powerful, research-backed ways to:
✔️ Support your body through treatment
✔️ Protect your long-term health
✔️ Create an internal environment where cancer struggles to grow

You deserve more than “watch and wait.” You deserve a plan that helps you feel supported, strong, and hopeful.

If your breast cancer diagnosis wasn’t hormone-positive, you may feel like you’ve been left out of the conversation.

ER- and triple negative survivors often tell me they feel like the research is thinner, the guidance is vague, and the “next steps” aren’t as clear.

But here’s what I want you to know: you are NOT powerless.
There are targeted ways to support your body, reduce recurrence risk, and feel confident about your health moving forward.

That’s exactly why I created the Breast Cancer Freedom Workshop.

She sat in her oncologist’s office, expecting relief. Chemo? Done. Radiation? Done. Surgery? Done. She made it through the hardest part—or so she thought.

Then came the next words: “You’ll need to take hormone therapy for the next 5-10 years.”

Her stomach dropped.

Wait… what? She had braced herself for the big, grueling months of treatment, but she hadn’t really thought about what came after. Years of medication? More side effects? More changes to her body? It felt like cancer was still controlling her life.

She went home and started Googling. Hot flashes. Weight gain. Joint pain. Brain fog. Anxiety. Bone loss. The list of possible side effects made her head spin.

👉 Would she ever feel like herself again?
👉 Would she have to just accept feeling tired, achy, and not herself for the next decade?
👉 Was there anything she could do to make this easier?

If you’ve ever felt this way—like no one prepared you for what life after treatment really looks like—you’re not alone. The good news? You’re not powerless in this.

There ARE strategies to support your body, manage side effects, and take back control over your health. From blood sugar regulation to targeted supplements, from movement to mindset shifts—you CAN feel strong, vibrant, and at home in your body again.

💬 Have you faced this reality after treatment? Drop a 💖 in the comments if this resonates with you. And if you’re looking for real, evidence-based ways to feel more in control and reduce your cancer recurrence risk—I’ve got the ultimate resource coming your way. 💪

When a woman asks if she has to take hormone therapy after breast cancer, I can feel the weight behind her question.

She wasn’t just asking about a pill—she was asking: “Am I going to feel like myself again? Can I really handle the side effects? What happens if I say no?”

The truth? There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. But there are ways to understand your risks, explore your options, and build a plan that feels right for YOU.

That’s exactly what I’ll be teaching inside the Breast Cancer Freedom Workshop—so you can finally make these decisions with clarity and confidence.

🎧Can Natural Strategies Replace Hormone Therapy for Breast Cancer?

If you’ve been prescribed a hormone-blocking medication like Tamoxifen, Anastrozole, or Letrozole, you already know what a double-edged sword it can feel like.

These pills are powerful tools for preventing cancer from coming back… but the side effects can be so overwhelming that more than 50% of women aren’t able to continue taking them for the full 5 years they’re recommended.

💊 Hot flashes that keep you up at night.
💊 Weight gain that feels out of your control.
💊 Loss of intimacy from vaginal dryness and low libido.
💊 And the quiet fear of bone loss or heart disease added on top of it all.

It’s exhausting—and it can feel like you’re forced to choose between protecting your future and surviving your present.

That’s why I created this brand new podcast episode: “Can Natural Strategies Replace Hormone Therapy for Breast Cancer?”

I’ll walk you through:
🌿 What the research says about natural alternatives
🌿 How to ease side effects and get your life back while on hormone blockers
🌿 Why you still have options—whether you take the meds or not

This episode isn’t about judgment—it’s about support, empowerment, and respect for your choices.

✨ Big news — early next week I’ll be hosting the Breast Cancer FREEDOM Workshop, and I’d love for you to join me. Here’s a sneak peek at what you’ll learn over 3 powerful, one-hour sessions:

👉 Day 1: Assessing for Prevention
Why recovery and long-term prevention require a different strategy than active treatment. You’ll learn how to use blood work and other key tests to take a data-driven approach to lowering recurrence risk. (Plus, you’ll get a self-assessment and my optimal lab range checklist!)

👉 Day 2: Environmental Influences
Forget juice cleanses and extreme detox plans—this session will focus on real, practical ways to support detoxification, gut health, and lower your exposure to harmful xenoestrogens.

👉 Day 3: Nutrition & Supplements
We’ll clear up the myths around foods like soy, dairy, alcohol, and phytoestrogens. I’ll also walk you through which supplements are actually worth your time (and money), and which ones aren’t.

🌟 Bonus: You’ll also learn strategies to ease side effects like osteoporosis, hot flashes, and heart disease—so you can feel stronger and more at home in your body.

I’ll be holding nothing back—this is the most comprehensive training I offer all year.
➡️ Already, a lot of women are signed up.
➡️ And I only teach this workshop twice a year.

If you’re ready for clear, evidence-based strategies to help you feel better now and protect your future, this is your chance.

Our Story

I’m passionate about priming my patients’ biochemistry to optimize their health so that it isn’t holding them back from their ambitions. Using an individualized approach, we tackle symptoms at the same time as delving into the root cause of the underlying health issue.
