Join Sara Kavanaugh on The Positive Gene Podcast as she shares a poignant narrative of her family's encounters with cancer and how these experiences have shaped her approach to health and living. In this episode, Sara transforms the narrative of hereditary inevitability into one of empowerment and informed action. We explore the emotional weight of genetic risk, debunk the myths surrounding cancer inevitability, and learn how proactive surveillance can be a beacon of hope. Sara’s personal journey emphasizes not just the power of genetic knowledge but also the strength found in community, proactive health choices, and regular medical consultations.
