Description

Outwardly, people can seemingly be the picture of perfect health, but inside, that is not always the case. Such is the case of my guest today, whom you may know from shows like Dancing with the Stars and Entertainment Tonight, Samantha Harris. Despite feeling like she was the “healthy one” amongst her friends and family because she followed all of the “rules” when it came to eating and exercise, Samantha was working herself crazy and was a new mom, and then BAM! Breast cancer diagnosis at age 40. Eleven days after a clear mammogram, she found a lump. She could have ignored it after a clear mammogram and a quick exam by her OB/GYN saying it was nothing. But after four months, it was still there, so she went to see a breast oncologist…which still showed nothing, which is terrifying! The results from the biopsy finally showed that she had invasive breast cancer. Today, she shares her story and how you can take your health your health in your own hands to live your healthiest and best life!You will hear more about:How it’s always best to follow your gut, especially when your not getting answers from your doctors  Why it's always important to know your own bodyThe #1 thing you can do to talk to your doctor without being dismissedIf only 5 - 10% of breast cancers are genetic, what are the other factors and how can we change those thingsThe best way to look at a negative situation... like a breast cancer diagnosis!The easiest way you can start making changes in your life and healthSamantha's favorite “clean” productsAnd so much more!More about Samantha:Watched by millions as the co-host of Dancing with the Stars and Entertainment Tonight, Samantha Harris is an Emmy Award-winning TV host and journalist, bestselling author, Certified Health Coach and fitness trainer, nutrition advocate, and promoter of healthy living.Her 2014 stage II invasive breast cancer diagnosis at age 40 inspired a quest for answers about how we can all improve our overall health, prevent chronic diseases, and understand their underlying causes.
