with podcast guest

Dr. Carol Lourie

share

Around 1 in 8 women in the US will develop breast cancer in their lifetime.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the US and while we shouldn’t be only talking about breast cancer one month out of the year, Dr. Carol Lourie joins me on today’s episode to share strategies for prevention and integrative healthcare options for those who have been diagnosed.

Dr. Carol Lourie is a dedicated practitioner with over three decades of clinical experience as a Naturopath, Acupuncturist, and Homeopath. She’s helped hundreds of women recover their health and restore their lives through her holistic protocols involving focused nutrition, targeted supplementation, lifestyle changes, and a centered mindset. Carol specializes in complex and chronic disease management, focusing on women’s health, specifically breast cancer, fertility for “older” women, and autoimmune illness. She believes that when the body and mind work together, healing is always possible.

In this episode, we talk about the increasing rate of breast cancer in younger women, the power that we all have when it comes to our health, the massive benefit of doing breast self-exams, the downside of pink ribbons, what you need to know about mammograms, and so much more!

I’m so excited because Agni has just launched a complete women’s health box for healthy hormones and better periods. What I really like about Agni is that they work with a Medical Advisory Board and top chefs to make their products, so if you’ve ever wished your supplements tasted delicious, you’ll really love their new box. The Complete Women’s Health Box has five awesome products in it – my personal favorite is the double chocolate chip cookies. They’re the kind of cookies that make you want to eat the whole box in one sitting. I also really love the seasonings which make seed cycling super easy, plus they turn your avocado toast into otherworldly goodness. Everything in the box is gluten-free, dairy-free, and totally delicious.
