Can we reduce our risk of cancer?  Let’s talk about it.

As we approach #WorldHealthDay, we ask the million-dollar question: Can we minimise our risk of cancer?

We also discuss medical menopause and how to support your body through cancer and menopause.

In this empowering episode of MenoPositive the podcast, we tackle the crucial conversations women in midlife need to have about cancer and menopause—two major life events that often intersect in challenging ways.

We’re joined by Dr. Fiona McCarthy, consultant medical oncologist, as well as a leading expert on cancer therapy’s effects on the skin and the links between inflammation and cancer. She shares science-backed advice on how to reduce your cancer risk, as well as lifestyle strategies & non-hormonal medications to support anyone navigating menopause and cancer. 

Tune in, share with friends, and let’s start a conversation that can truly change lives.

 

You’ll learn:

  • How to reduce your cancer risk with proactive lifestyle shifts
  • Why screening matters
  • How to navigate menopause during or after cancer treatment—or support someone who is
  • Lifestyle strategies & non-hormonal medications that can help
  • Emerging therapies she’s most excited about
