17: Intermittent Fasting, Insulin Resistance and Breast Cancer with Cynthia Thurlow
I am super excited to have with me today a guest who has an incredible story of transformation from the conventional medical world to where she is today. Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner and an accomplished author who has literally written the book on intermittent fasting, Intermittent Fasting Transformation: The 45 Day Program for Women to Lose Stubborn Weight, Improve Hormonal Health, and Slow Aging. Her expertise is very much something that my community would benefit from, since we know that breast cancer doesn’t exist in a silo, but is a metabolic disease. Today, you'll hear more about how intermittent fasting and insulin resistance can affect your breast cancer.
You’ll hear about:
- Cynthia’s story of transformation – starting with her son’s life threatening food allergies, shifting her priorities to keep her child safe and learning everything she could about nutrition
