Trust your instincts and take charge of your health journey with insights from our inspiring guest, Meg Cadoux. A breast cancer survivor and co-founder of the Anti Cancer Lifestyle Program, Meg's story begins with a misdiagnosed stage 3B estrogen-positive breast cancer in 2001. Despite facing two recurrences in 2008 and 2018, Meg shares how her perseverance and the power of immunotherapy led her to remission, emphasizing the critical importance of second opinions and staying informed about one's health.
In our conversation, Meg discusses how frustration with the lack of actionable advice from her oncologist led her to make profound lifestyle changes inspired by Dr. Servan-Schreiber's book, "Anti-Cancer: A New Way of Life." Collaborating with her local cancer center, she created a comprehensive course for cancer survivors that focuses on diet, fitness, mindset, and creating a less toxic home environment. Initially available in person, the program transitioned online due to COVID-19, broadening its reach to participants from 122 countries, including Spanish translations, and ensuring evidence-based support through partnerships with healthcare providers.
Finally, we explore the lifelong commitment to maintaining a healthy lifestyle post-cancer diagnosis. Meg highlights the challenges of integrating consistent exercise into daily routines and the necessity of resistance training for bone health. She introduces Learning Circles, a supportive and interactive program for cancer survivors, facilitated by health coaches and experts. Tune in to discover valuable insights and resources that can aid your personal journey.
