Ep. 168 - One Woman's Breast Cancer Journey with Belinda Pyle

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.

 

In this week’s episode, Dr. Lovely sits down with Belinda Pyle—craniosacral therapist, registered massage therapist and a woman with a recent breast cancer experience.  They have a  conversation about transforming illness into empowerment.  Belinda shares how an unexpected injury and a strong intuition led to her cancer diagnosis, and how she chose to navigate healing on her own terms.  From questioning traditional treatments to using tools and well informed practitioners to monitor hormone health post-radiation, Belinda’s story is a masterclass in medical self-advocacy, trusting your body, and practicing radical self-love.  

 

Whether you’re navigating menopause, cancer, or chronic stress, this episode will inspire you to listen inward, honour your body, and never be afraid to choose a healing path that aligns with your truth.  

 

Together, we explore how intuition, trauma, and boundaries all play a role in navigating health at midlife. Her story is a call to trust your body, ask better questions, and honour yourself—even in the face of fear.  

 

What You’ll Hear:

• How a random injury might’ve triggered Belinda’s cancer—and why no one took it seriously
• The moment she just knew something was wrong
• Why she said no to some recommendations and yes to hormone optimization with a skilled practitioner
• Her take on the gaps in conventional care (especially for women)
