## Resource

Subscribe to my YouTube channel so you don't miss the next episode. There are four places I stopped eating at after my cancer diagnosis, and one of them might surprise you. I'm a Certified Integrated Nutrition Health Coach who works with people on cancer prevention and recovery, and I'm a nine-year survivor myself, so I've spent years studying what's actually in our food supply. This isn't about fear. One meal won't cause cancer. But what we eat consistently affects inflammation, blood sugar, detoxification, gut health, and the environment inside the body. I name each of the four spots I personally avoid, what's actually in the food there, and why processed meats are classified the way they are by the World Health Organization. I also share what I do when one of these is the only option, the swaps I make for travel days, and why awareness changes your choices more than restriction ever will. If you're rethinking what you eat after a diagnosis, or you want to lower your risk before one, this one is for you. You’ll learn: [0:00] Introduction [0:41] The first thing I eliminated after my cancer diagnosis [1:59] What the BMJ study shows about ultra-processed foods and cancer risk [2:49] Processed deli meats are classified as a Group 1 carcinogen [4:14] Even the "healthy" snacks at gas stations aren't really healthy [5:17] Airplane and airport food: what I skip and what I bring instead [6:16] Making different decisions from empowerment, not restriction Resources mentioned: Moms Across America | Website Consumption of ultra-processed foods and cancer risk by BMJ | Article Cancer: Carcinogenicity of the consumption of red meat and processed meat by WHO | Article Find more from Michelle: Revival Health & Wellness | Instagram | Facebook | Website Cancer Proof Living | YouTub…
