Why normal "diets" and exercise isn't enough and ONE thing to start now...
Make sure to download my FREE Cancer Thriver's Food Guide here: www.thrivemethodhub.com/accessnow
Are you finished cancer treatments and trying to lose weight by eating a low calorie diet and exercising but finding it challenging? If so - this video is for you.
In this video, I share:
*3 things you need to consider and why normal "diets" and exercise often are not enough (especially as a cancer survivor)
*1 key action you can start today that can make a huge difference and
*1 important thing to remember to help motivate you!
AS MENTIONED:
To calculate your daily protein needs speak to your healthcare practitioner (MD, ND, etc) but here is an example:
If daily needs are 0.8g/kg/day of protein and your weight is 140 lbs.
1) change 140lbs to kg by dividing by 2.2. ie. 140/2.2= 63.6kg
2) multiple 0.8g x 63.6kg = 50.9g of protein per day
This means your daily needs would be 50.9g of protein per day.
If you were to lose or gain weight - this could change as it's based on your current weight in kg.
Hope this helps and empowers you,
Dr. Becky ND

My Oncologist put me on Verzenio with Anastrozole (after I suffered terribly on letrozole( severe pain in all my joints especially hip joints. I feel like it almost killed me! I couldn’t eat for nausea, all my important labs went extremely low WBC, RBC’s, HGB also my liver started stopping working, fingernails started coming away from my nail beds, all my eyelashes and eyebrows fell out. That was only being on it for 3 weeks! Thank God he took me off. More labs tomorrow
@@roselucht4583 so glad to hear they switched the plan quickly for you! Hoping for good results tomorrow!!! ♥️
Thank you fir for sharing

Can barely hear you
@@jeannachebat ugh I'm sorry - it was a new phone and finally got a new headset with mic that hopefully works! Next video is coming out soon let me know if you still have a hard time hearing! ♥️
@@drbeckynd Ahhh, I see. Well I'm home now and listening on my laptop and it's good. It was on my phone where it sounded real low. All good now. I hear you loud and clear. :) Thank you for your content. ♥
@jeannachebat ♥️♥️
"I think this drug will be off the market soon, in the next few years. I don't trust this medication. I've been prescribed it, and I don't have issues with the pharmaceutical industry at all, but I have a gut feeling that we will discover it's more risky than beneficial on the benefit/risk balance, soon. It happens that sometimes medical experts think a drug is safe, and then we learn it is not. I listen to specialists in medicine all the time, but not this time-my gut is telling me no. So I will find something else to manage my type 2 diabetes [I'm intolerant to metformin and most antidiabetic drugs]. Either way, I'm not trying to influence anybody, I'm just sharing my gut feeling.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Yes I wonder what the research will show in a few years as we're seeing this risk in animals at this point but often this is transferable to human risk too.
And then you die 😢
@@hanawolfgang I have come to accept that that time could come at any point for all of us...it's been almost 30 years after my cancer diagnosis so I'm just loving with gratitude daily for as long as I get.♥️
I’m a radiation therapist and I was diagnosed with breast cancer 2 years ago. I was always confused about whole grains as some people say it’s not good for you, but I suppose it’s the fiber that would make it beneficial? Also, what’s your thoughts on baked or grilled chicken on occasion?
@@amya9597 hi there! Yes the benefits of whole grains lie in the fiber but also nutrients that are there when it's not refined and processed. The data still shows that lean protein like chicken can be part of a healthy diet. ♥️
@ Good to know! I’ve also been adding Amla powder to my tea or smoothies and I have thought about adding broccoli sprouts (food form) to my diet as well. Blessings!

Stress and anxiety. Thats the answer.
@@CyberNomadd I think those are definitely factors!
Hey! I wonder how much of this can be explained by better detection rates and women being more aware and seeking healthcare more often for lumps?
@@eevee2411 in general unfortunately younger women tend to have more aggressive late stage diagnosis - so it’s not actually that they’re finding it early - often times prognosis can be poorer because it’s found later if that makes sense - meaning it looks like a true increase in cases not just lumps that are being found earlier. 😔
@@drbeckynd that's awful, yes I understand what you mean with it being found late. Aggressive forms of cancer of course also tend to grow faster so there's less of a window to find it early if I understand correctly. I hope we learn more about the causes so we can prevent!
@@eevee2411 Agreed!! Yes its definitely concerning but research still shows many may be preventable so that is always a good area to focus on - primary prevention before it occurs. Thanks for this great question!! =)
My oncologist just told me cases in breast cancer are not rising. She looked me right in the eye the eyes and told me that. They lie. We have to do our own research to save ourselves…
@@MsPinupgurl this data is for Canada but breast cancer is still the 2nd most common cancer worldwide and #1 in women! Research is clear that the cases are increasing and that it will continue to increase over the next two decades (this is from ASCO 2023 meeting which is the American Society of Clinical Oncology - a big authority on this info.)
Hi and thank you for the information. Is Tofu ok?
@@riversand5108 hi there!! Yes tofu seems to be safe and maybe even protective!
Hi, I'm an Italian student who has just finished school. It was supposed to be the best summer ever, but instead it was the worst in my entire life. My father has a serious health problem, my mother was diagnosed with G3 microinvasive DCIS. The mammograms identified 8mm microcalcifications that were not there the previous year. There are no nodules, normal sized lymph nodes. However, for years my mother has reported pain in the opposite breast, which appears to be clean. When she made the first visit they asked the 7 questions in the video. There is no relation, except to a distant cousin of her mother (cousin of my grandma) who died of uterine/ovarian cancer. They didn't do any MRI on her. At the moment she has had a "lumpectomy" (a term that does not exist here, the reports say quadrantectomy + sentinel lymph node biopsy) and they have told her that she will only have radiotherapy. But we are waiting for the sentinel lymph node biopsy. I'm very worried, mum always gets checked, in theory the risk discussed in the video is very low. She has always had a diet that I realized is truly anti-tumor (she is used to eating healthy and she used to swim cause my grandparents died from heart problems). I'm worried because there isn't a palpable lump, but it's also true that mom has two large breasts which the reports describe as having dense tissue, so its difficult to find a lump. I think they did a lumpectomy and not a quadrantectomy because the breast size is pretty much the same as before. I wanted to ask, in the risk assessment they also asked "how many doses of Pfizer you have done" (4 years ago). Could this be relevant? Because I'm researching how the mRNA vaccine works and understanding how it interacts with immune system defense mechanisms. I am curious to know more about vaccine-induced reverse transcription and how it is involved in possible errors in cell replication. However, I don't know if it's relevant about genes/risk, it's incredible the resemblance between my mother when she was young and Olivia Munn. I remember when i saw her first time in Marvel movies i considered the character a clone. Anyways my mum is the best person i know, not only as a son view. She is hardworking, honest, tender and generous woman. She has the most beautiful ways you can look for in a human being. I would die if I lost her, I will do everything necessary to advise her well. Thanks for the videos.
So the question is: Scan or Scam?
Can i give constipation and antacids syrup any time Or only in night??
@@Miss_m822 great question! Best to ask your medical team as there may be other things to consider ie other meds etc. hope that helps!

@@vlogwithsoha2960 hi there! I think I have a video here somewhere too for weight gain strategies but healthy fats and protein can be really important.❤️
@@drbeckynd mam,,metastatic breast cancer to bone only...hormone positive breast cancer...age 44...pls,,tell me survival rate?? Is it possible survival rate more than 10 yrs???plssss...from Bangladesh
Pls,, tell me mam
@@vlogwithsoha2960 I think the best person to answer this would be your oncologist but I do have stage 4 cancer patients with no evidence of disease after getting treatments. Every story and case is so different but this is possible too! Sending you lots of love.❤️
Hi Dr what happens if i stop tamoxifen its been 5 months since I am tcking it i got problems with my vision having diarrhoea,headache cramps.. If i stop how soon can my cancer come back . Is it really worth taking tamoxifen because you get cancer in different place whsle you are on tamoxifen
@@naheedakhtar4815 that’s a really great question but I think your oncologist may be the best one to answer it. Some questions I would ask is what your absolute percentage benefit is on it vs not being on it, other options (ie is an aromatase inhibitor an option in your case ), etc. this can help you feel more informed to make decisions. Remember it’s also your lifestyle etc that helps with prevention not just the medication. I have a masterclass if that would be helpful to you. Www.thrivemethodhub.com/bcmasterclass for more info.❤️
@@drbeckynd thank you
There's a really, really good green lentil lasagna noodle, too!
@@Levacque ooohhh is it by the same company?? Haven’t seen that one yet! ❤️
Great information. Please answer my question: is it ok to consume dried figs,prunes or dates with bcancer diagnosis?
@@peterweiss332 great question - anything can be ok in moderation (whole food sources) but if there are sugar regulation issues etc may decrease or avoid their use.
How this possible when taking anastrozole which gives us so many negative side affects. I want to feel well on a daily basis, am fully prepared to eat more of the better foods and reduce the not so good foods, but the drugs are constantly affecting us negatively in so many ways, that is just ridiculously hard to overcome
@@janetill1158 I totally understand. I work with a lot of women on these meds and the side effects are not always easy to handle. I do find though things like diet, exercise, sleep strategies etc to be helpful - I wonder if there’s a board certified naturopathic Doctor that can help in your area? ❤️
Dec.2019 my mammogram came out normal.In the 3rd week of Feb.2020 i saw a dark area underneath my armpit.Biopsy was done in March 20,stage 3 breast cancer which is very serious.
I wish there’s a single test that can detect anything that’s wrong with your body without having to perform multiple different tests. AI this and that these days, come on why can’t someone make a device that can scan the whole human body and find any cancer, genetic abnormalities, any disease or health problems? That is to me more crucial than a self driving car…. Say you just walk in like an x ray booth at the airport, and then voila, result comes out.
@@nefertitib4313 I agree! I hope for the same! ❤️
These poisons about killed me. The joint and muscle pain was so intense, I couldn't move. I refuse to take anymore. I have less years ahead of me and would rather be able to function to a certain extent
@@kathysteiner9468 thank you for sharing! You’re definitely not alone - side effects can make it really challenging to continue. Other prevention strategies are important too like lifestyle, diet etc - but there’s often not as much focus on how these can have impact too. Wishing you continued health.❤️
Hi . My mother completed her 2nd chemo and she is feeling nausea/vomiting sensation throughout the day and not able to drink or eat anything. Please help me with some remedies to help her
I'm so sorry your mom is going through this! I hope the info here helps you in some way. In general, it's best to speak to her doctors as they know her case best but one thing that may be helpful could be acupuncture if she hasn't tried that yet?
Hello. My first Chemo August 7th 2024. Lil nervous. Please tell me the name of the band again. Thank you. ❤

My cousin's lump did not show up on her mammogram. But she kept insisting to her doctor that there was a lump there so thankfully her doctor listened to her and sent her for an ultrasound too. That's where they saw the lump. But her mammogram came back clear while she had a cancerous lump in her boob.
@@snowps1 thank you so much for sharing! It’s definitely not a perfect test unfortunately:( so glad she advocated for herself!!! ❤️
That sounds what I have done mammogram and every other year mri. FYI before people go running asking for mri they usually only do that 1 if you score high on breast cancer assement and have highly dense breast tissue. I'm talkinbfor women who are 40 plus dnt know for younger. I has my first mammogram at 35 dt ly mom diagnosed at 45 so they go 10 years younger old I did they found 2 areas 1 on each breast but luckily 1 was nothing on biopsy the other stage early stage and just lumpectomy and that's it I was given the option of radiation but choose to forgo dt early stage and the low grade cells glad I did now that's what they recommend and I'm 19 years out and clean have had scares big time on other breast but fingers cross still good
@@kimberlyadams5039 thanks so much for sharing!❤️❤️
Chemo is mustard gas and agent orange, chemical warfare, not medication; must boycott this genocide RX, warn others, forget medical mafia fraud, forget KM mob, forget Israeli mafia, boycott these thugs, not required, except for liberals! :(
We are reading online that tumours take 2 plus years to form.
Unfortunately most people don’t have access to all this testing. Most people with a clear mammogram will just be sent on their way and told come back next year.
@@laineybugger it’s true - this is something many experience unfortunately and can lead to finding things late :(
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤thank you 😊
I chose not to take any of those pharmaceuticals !!! I went with my gut and answers from God 🙏 He is in charge !
I’m glad you made a decision that feels right for you!❤️❤️❤️
I love ❤ when you say moving from active treatment to a healthier version of you (instead of survivorship). I can't stand the survivorship word. Thank you! ❤
@@TheBubbleBia aww I get it and I’m so glad I didn’t say survivorship. I sometimes use it only because I think others understand what stage we mean by that but it sounds so…boring. I’m looking for more.😎😉
Thank You 😊 Are chick peas a good source?
@@casi7319 chick peas are not a source of soy (although they are a great plant protein too!). Mainly tofu, edamame, soy milk etc :) hope that helps!
@@drbeckynd Thank you 😊
I started feeling lumps around 36 years old, went in and had a mammogram and biopsy of the area in question. All came back clear. I had extremely dense breast tissue. So from there on out it was a yearly mammogram. I had pain in my right breast (with the lumps). The pain would come and go. Multiple lumps showed on my scans. I had a stereo, MRI's, MRI guided biopsy, one year alone when I was 42 i had at least 6 different types of scans, ALL came back clear. Finally my breast surgeon said enough, lets go in and do a lumpectomy on the largest mass in question, which bear in mind came back clear after the biopsy. So i had the surgery and 2 days later she called me and said it was cancer. Un-fucking real! I was lucky, stage 1 invasive ductal carcinoma, all margins clear, no node involvement. unfortunately i am yriple negative. I chose double mastectomy with reconstruction because i honestly couldn't have kept my breasts and trusted another scan for as long as i live
@@cassiegreenfield4336 thank you for sharing! I can imagine just how shocking that must have been but soo glad they found it when they did! Sending you so much love!❤️
I do eat some meat like chicken and fish which I process(marinate) myself using Celtic seasalt and other anticancer herbs(rosemary, oregano, cayenne pepper ) and marinated in garlic. Garlic is an antiparasitic, anti microbial, antioxidant , even anticancer ! I’m mostly plantbased. Eggs a few times/week. No bread. No anything ultra processed. No dairy. I’m nearly 9 yrs in remission. Still on tamoxifen.
Sounds delicious!! Thanks
THANK YOU NFOR YOUR INFO
❤️❤️❤️
Both my medical and surgical oncologist stated that moderate alcohol consumption was fine. They even said that a drink a day was okay. Fortunately, I am not listening to them and taking advice from professionals like you. Appreciate the reminder!
I’m so glad this is helpful!❤️❤️
Thank you for your tips, Dr. Becky!
I’m so glad it’s helpful ❤️❤️
I had brest cancer 2016. Lumpectomy and radiation.All clear til 2022. My cat fell off my headboard and landed on my chest. 😮It was so painful. I grabbed the area and felt a lump. I kept saying it is scar tissue but knew it was not. I told my oncologist who I had seen 9 months before. Good mamogram and breast exam. It was not a recurrence but a totally different second cancer in the same breast. I had a mastectomy and 3 months later a second surgery for debridement to area not healing due to damage from the radiation. I should have done the mastectomy in the beginning.
Thank you so much for sharing. I’m so glad you found it (what a blessing that the cat landed there!) Hope you’re doing well.❤️
You know what "ND" stands for? Not a Doctor
You CAN find a lump three months after a clear mammogram. Do your self assessments. Lie on your left, your right, etc., etc. I only felt my lump because of lying curlled up on my side on the futon while trying to get relief from hip pain. Was wearing silky nightgown, with arm bent and my hand trapped under my breast, so I only ACCIDENTALLY felt the lump because my hand was trapped there to find it. At the doctors, no one could feel it. I had to put their fingers on it. But it was real. It was three different types of cancer, but fortunately it had not spread out of the site. I probably saved my own life because my hip hurt and I was trying to get comfortable.
I’m so glad you found it! Wishing you the best moving forward ❤️❤️
Safe and effective.
Ok. No one anywhere preaches that a mammogram alone is all you need to detect cancer. There is also self breast exam as well as MRI’s. No one anywhere suggests that mammograms are 100 percent effective. They tell you that they see no evidence of cancer, meaning there is nothing glaringly obvious. If you’re young when you have a mammogram most often it will be said in the letter that you have dense breast tissue. You should always work with your physician to determine if you feel that the additional MRI would be useful in your case. Mammos are the standard gold tool to detect breast cancer. It is a tool only and every tool has its limitations.
@@thort531I'm 72 and have dense breasts. Every other time I go for mammogram, I'm told I need another mammogram in a few months, OR a breast biopsy! Not an MRI. that'd make toomuch sense, lol, and mammograms make no sense. Tired of needless radiation and biopsies for no reason. After age 74, American College of Radioogists say no more mammograms will be needed (unless symptoms, of course, which I've never had.) I cannot wait!!😊
