“You have breast cancer.” Wait, what?! How could this happen to me?Mammography found my tumor at an early stage, and for that I’m grateful, but I didn’t know about thermal imaging then so I will never know how much sooner my cancer could have been detected. Thermography, or thermal imaging, can detect cancer and other health issues earlier than mammography, but many health insurance plans do not cover it, although more are starting to cover it now. Studies have shown that thermography is twice as effective as mammography (98% vs 50% effective) without the harmful effects of radiation and “squishing.”
Some lifestyle choices you can make to lessen your chances of getting cancer, particularly breast cancer:
-
- maintain a healthy weight
- eat real food (as Michael Pollen says “eat food, not too much, mostly plants”)
- exercise regularly (even just a 30 minute walk 5 or more days a week)
- meditate and minimize stress
- limit alcohol use to 1 drink per day or less
- don’t smoke
- avoid toxins
I thought I was healthy, but I had just retired from a very stressful job and hadn’t been eating well or exercising regularly. I encourage you to educate yourself and understand the preventive aspects of maintaining a healthy lifestyle as I did. I no longer use toxic household cleaners or personal care products, get an annual full-body thermal scan, eat a mainly plant-based diet, exercise and meditate regularly. I became a Certified Health Coach to help others get or stay healthy.

Previously overshadowed by more commonly known diseases such as syphilis, gonorrhea and chlamydia, Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) has finally hit the spotlight. HPV is actually a group of over 200 related viruses. More than 40 of these are spread through direct sexual contact and cause genital warts. Even more concerning is how they can cause certain types of cancer – like cervical, vaginal, penile and anal. And that’s just the short list.

“In the randomized, controlled, noninferiority ARIADNE clinical trial (NCT05744232), researchers investigated whether low-energy total diet replacement (TDR) programs, which often raise concerns about triggering eating disorders due to their focus on weight and strict rules, could affect eating disorder symptoms. The findings, published by investigators in The Lancet, focused on individuals with overweight, obesity, or type 2 diabetes (T2D) who already identified as being at high risk for developing an eating disorder.1″
