Blending Plant-Based and Ketogenic Diets for Breast Cancer Recovery
I'm fascinated not only by how what we eat influence how our bodies work, but on how the one thing that is so impactful on how we feel, how we think, how our skin looks, how we celebrate traditions, how we remember special occasions, how we plan a romantic evening or a birthday celebration, or how we recover from an illness, is so controversial, so confusing and has so many different perspectives.
Ever wondered if you could mix the best of both worlds when it comes to nutrition? In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura Lummer dives into the intriguing blend of plant-based and ketogenic diets. With her firsthand experience as a two-time breast cancer survivor, Laura shares her passion for helping women craft a life that’s even better than before their diagnosis.

One of the standout points in this episode is the potential side effects of lowering breast cancer risk, such as weight loss, reduced fatigue, and increased energy.
