October is breast cancer awareness month. When Dr. Martin graduated in 1974, one in every 20 women in North America would get breast cancer. Today, that number is 1 in every 6 women!
Dr. Martin agrees that we need to be more aware of breast cancer. Cancer starts as the size of a pen tip, and it takes 5 years to get that size. Our healthcare system is all about early detection, when it really needs to be about prevention – what to do to prevent cancer in the first place!
In today’s episode, Dr. Martin answers a question about eliminating tumours in breast tissue. He teaches about the trifecta that makes tumours grow... estrogen, insulin, cortisol, and how getting those under control can literally save your life!
