Thermography is a is an incredible non-invasive way to see whats going on in the body with digital infrared thermal imaging. Dr April Goebel is a chiropractor and a thermographer that I personally have been seeing for over 10 years. I find this preventive care to be invaluable. By having a fingerprint of your breast (or the body part you are targeting) allows you to see the physiologic changes early on that might not be detectable mammographically. Dr Goebel talks about its benefits, how it can work in tandem with other methods as well as the benefits of chiropractic care.

How does yoga help with breast cancer recovery? We all know that exercise and movement are not only good for our health, it also has a positive impact on the outcome of breast cancer treatment. Many of you may already practice yoga, and no doubt you already know about the various benefits it brings. But, if you have had treatment for breast cancer, can yoga help with recovery?

In this episode, Marcia Mercier, explains how she embraced yoga and its impact on her own recovery following her breast cancer diagnosis. Now as a fully qualified yoga instructor, she talks about the dos and don'ts of yoga practice in breast cancer recovery. She describes the best classes to take as well as the poses one should avoid.

Marcia also explains how yoga not only benefits the physical aspect of recovery, but also the mental side of things. Yoga is such a holistic practice and the benefits can be far-reaching.

In this episode, we are talking about all things bra-related. 

If you think you know about bras..think again. In this episode, I talk to Julie Blanche who is an expert bra fitter. It was a great conversation and you wouldn't believe how complex the world of bras can be. You don't know what you don't know. That is so true.

At the end of this episode, you will learn so much.
We talked about so many things, including the best way to put on a bra, how to look after them as well as ways to achieve symmetry following breast surgery. 

Give it a listen, your bras will thank you for it!

1. What are some things women can do to maintain their breast health? 
2. What can we do to keep ourselves healthy in an ever-changing and toxic environment that we as humans are creating on this planet?

Did you know that breast cancer is the most common cancer in women globally and the second most common cancer overall?  Chances are you know or have met someone in your circle who has had breast cancer.  These statistics underscore the importance of women taking a proactive role in managing our breast health, especially by adopting preventative measures. So what does this look like? 

In this episode, I sat down with Shannon Knorr, a phenomenal woman, movement and somatic-based teacher,  and breast cancer survivor to discuss her healing journey from the disease, the effects of our environment on breast health, and what we can change in our daily lives to get our bodies and souls to a healthier existence.

We hope you come away with the information you need to make the changes in your environment that will help you stay healthy and thrive. 

Subscribe to HerCanvas today to get your answers to the questions that matter most to you, and ultimately, find the inspiration to live your best life. 

In this episode, we dive into the topics of breast health! We breakdown why you should break up with your underwire bra, how to switch deodorants, the importance of lymphatic drainage, how to do a breast massage and touch upon thermography therapy. Enjoy!

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, you may be eligible to participate in a clinical trial. But, what is a clinical trial? Am I eligible to participate? What are the benefits? What does it involve? Do I have to pay?

These are some of the questions we discuss in this week's episode with Danielle Ralic. Danielle is a technologist and her career has revolved working on solving tech problems in healthcare. Her passion is to use technology to improve quality of care and making healthcare accessible to all.

When she learnt about the difficulties and the challenges some patients have been faced in finding out about clinical trials, Danielle thought of creating a solution. She cofounded Ancora.AI, a platform that aims to use technology and a patient-first approach to democratise access to clinical trials and improve the trial experience. 

As well as clinical trials, we also talked about the impact of the pandemic on health care in general and how technology has been embraced allowing more adaptive working. It was a fascinating conversation and one I am sure you will enjoy.

Jo was diagnosed with primary breast cancer at the age of 38 years, 14 years ago. At the time, she had a 5-month daughter, a 2-year-old son, and her life was turned upside down.

Since her primary diagnosis, she has been diagnosed with secondary breast cancer affecting her lymph nodes in her neck, her sternum, and recently brain metastasis.

Throughout the years, Jo has been a passionate advocate for those affected by breast cancer, whether primary or secondary breast cancer. She collected resources that lead her to create her website abcdiagnosis where she provides information and resources that are accessible.

Whilst attending a conference about secondary breast cancer, she noticed that information about the red flag symptoms that may represent secondary/metastatic breast cancer was not readily shared with patients. As a result, she created infographics about the common sites where breast cancer may spread too.

She is also a co-founder of the secondary breast cancer website metupuk.org which advocates for patients with secondary breast cancer.

Jo has done all of this work whilst having to deal with her own primary and secondary breast cancer diagnosis.

It was a fantastic conversation, and listening to Jo's story was inspirational.

What to eat and what not to eat? That is the question.

There is so much information and mis-information out there surrounding nutrition and food. Navigating through the noise can be really difficult, this is more so when you are looking for reliable and accurate information surrounding nutrition around a breast cancer diagnosis.

Tamar Rothenberg is a nutrition dietician who specialises in nutrition supporting those who have had a breast cancer diagnosis.  She’s an adjunct professor of nutrition at Touro College and University and most recently, she co-led the study, Coping with Cancer in the Kitchen, published in Nutrients.

So she knows her stuff!

In this episode we talked about so many topics; from debunking diet myths, to the roles of pre and pro-biotics as well as the role of anti-inflammatory foods and the different types of the mediterranean diet. 

Tamar also brilliantly describes how focusing on 'what you will eat' rather than 'what you won't eat' is a better way to reframing how we approach food.

It was such a great episode, and Tamar shared so much information on foods that are beneficial, specifically if you are either going through a breast cancer diagnosis, or are coming through the other side.

We all know that exercise is good for you. However, this is especially true if you have had treatment for breast cancer. There is emerging evidence suggesting that regular exercise not only improves your general fitness, but it can also reduce cancer recurrence and improve outcome post treatment.

Today's guest is Tom Cowan, an exercise physiologist who works closely with those affected by cancer. Tom's work has been recognised by Public Health England and the Faculty for Sport and Exercise Medicine UK, who selected him to become a member of their Cancer and Exercise expert panel.

Tom prescribes specific exercises tailored to the individual and understands the challenges faced by patients, either during or after treatment.

Topics  we covered include: how to beat fatigue (a common side effect of treatment), exercises we can do to boost our immune system, the importance of bone health, as well as strategies to help with lymphoedema.

It was a conversation full of extremely helpful advice, and Tom shares tips and tricks of what you can do to to incorporate exercise into your daily life.
