Getting services, like microblading, only enhance your natural beauty and can help give you confidence.  We attach so much to our physical appearance and when things like cancer treatments change that, there can be a grief that comes along with that.  That's totally normal.

This is a question I get asked a lot, especially by my clients who have ER+ breast cancer.<br /><br />You may hear from your oncologist or others that you should avoid all soy products. Elevated hormone levels (i.e. estrogen) and excessive and prolonged exposure to hormones throughout a lifetime are risk factors for breast cancer.<br /><br />The reason oncologists are telling you to avoid soy is because most think soy contains estrogens that are harmful and can cause the cancer to grow. I’m not trying to bad mouth oncologists, because I think they do wonderful work, but their focus is not on food and nutrition (they only get a few hours of study on nutrition in their educational career, unless they choose to dedicate more).<br /><br />There has been newer, developing research that points to soy being a great thing to include in the diet, especially for postmenopausal women who have or have had breast cancer.  I only recommend whole, organic forms of soy like tempeh, tofu, edamame, and miso.<br /><br />On today's episode of The Breast Life Podcast, I'll be going more in depth on this topic so that you can make the best decision for yourself.  <br /><br />As always, I'm here if you have questions or need clarification on something you were told or read.<br /><br />Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/bethanyswanquist/" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/bethanyswanquist/</a><br />Instagram: @bethany_swanquist<br />Email: <a href="mailto:bethany@wildflowerwellness.net">bethany@wildflowerwellness.net</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/40059823</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jul 2020 14:00:11 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/40059823/soy_podcast.mp3" length="13553997" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bethany Swanquist</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Should you be eating soy?

And their B6 component has been shown to help with nausea.<br /><br />If targeted IV therapy is something you're considering adding to your health regimen, I highly recommend you discuss it with your doctor.  As Christine mentions in the episode, she is unable to provide IV therapy without clearance from your MD if you are undergoing cancer treatment.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy my conversation with Christine and learn as much about IV therapy as I did. <br /><br />Instagram: @christine_ahydration<br />Website: <a href="https://www.ayurvedahydration.com/" rel="noopener">https://www.ayurvedahydration.com/</a><br />Vitamin C study: <a href="http://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/25/6/983.full" rel="noopener">http://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/25/6/983.full</a>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/38340423</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 Jul 2020 17:33:47 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/38340423/episode_7_christine_ayurveda_hydration.mp3" length="58586050" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Bethany Swanquist</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Have you heard of IV Therapy before?  Or have been curious about how it can support you?  Listen to this episode with Christine Sapiano, one of the wonderful RNs of Ayurveda Hydration, where we discuss all things IVs, how they can help, who they're...</itunes:subtitle><itunes:summary><![CDATA[Have you heard of IV Therapy before?  Or have been curious about how it can support you?  Listen to this episode with Christine Sapiano, one of the wonderful RNs of Ayurveda Hydration, where we discuss all things IVs, how they can help, who they're for, and what's included in their IV blends and why. <br /><br />Ayurveda Hydration is a concierge IV hydration and vitamin therapy service located in Detroit, MI.  They offer booster shots and targeted IV therapies that are meant to help you stay balanced.  Their services are mobile, so that means they come to you.<br /><br />Just by talking with Christine, I can tell that she has a passion for what she does and she truly wants to help people in a safe and healthy way.  When this episode was recorded, we were still under the Stay At Home Order in Michigan and Ayurveda Hydration was not operating.  Christine's services are now available (of course following strict protocols) and you can learn more at the website below and you can directly ask her questions via her Instagram page @christine_ahydration.<br /><br />Studies on high-dose vitamin C IV therapies, one of the components in many of Ayurveda Hydration's blends, have been shown this therapy to be cytotoxic (only goes after cancer cells and protects healthy cells) and anti-metastatic (prevents cancer from spreading).  It can help protect cells against oxidative damage as well, something that is common with radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy.  In this study, high-dose vitamin C helped reduce common side effects associated with treatment, in particular of nausea, loss of appetite, fatigue, depression, sleep disorders, and dizziness.  Christine also shares in the episode that she's seen a reduction in pain and neuropathy with targeted IV therapies and shots like B12 and magnesium.  The B complex that they use also supports fast growing cells like our hair, skin, stomach lining, and nails that are often compromised during treatment.

If targeted IV therapy is something you're considering adding to your health regimen, I highly recommend you discuss it with your doctor.  As Christine mentions in the episode, she is unable to provide IV therapy without clearance from your MD if you are undergoing cancer treatment.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Christine and learn as much about IV therapy as I did.
