This episode is such an exciting one, and honestly, it might just change the way you think about what you eat—especially if you’ve ever felt confused or overwhelmed about what’s “safe” or supportive after a breast cancer diagnosis.

I’m talking about two powerful cellular processes that are important for us to understand: autophagy and angiogenesis.

These are what researchers call hallmarks of cancer—but they’re also incredible opportunities for healing. And the best part?

You don’t need to fast for days or eat perfectly to support them. You just need to make some smart, loving food and lifestyle choices—and I’ll walk you through what those are.

We’ll talk about how to support your body’s natural clean-up system (autophagy) and how to regulate the way your body builds blood vessels (angiogenesis)—all through everyday foods, simple habits, and ditching the all-or-nothing mindset.

 


🥗 In This Episode, I Share:

  • What autophagy and angiogenesis actually are (in plain English!)
  • How fasting and eating the right foods can both support your healing
  • Why food isn’t just fuel—it’s a daily tool for recovery and wellness
  • Simple swaps to reduce inflammation and feel more confident at mealtime
  • How to find a balance with exercise, rest, and movement that feels supportive, not stressful
  • My personal experience with fasting, fear, and learning to trust food again
  • A brand new 14-day meal plan I created to make this feel easier and doable
