Key takeaways:
[1:24] Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy’s career briefing
[3:30] Over 60 years ago, her mother was prescribed a medication to prevent miscarriage that was later found to cause cancer and a host of other health issues in children who were exposed before birth.
[6:12] Your mess becomes your message – Connealy’s personal experience has helped her to connect with patients.
[7:40] Early prevention and self-monitoring is critical. The cure for cancer is prevention.
[11:05] Pay attention to how you feel every day. It’s important to eat healing foods, drink water, detox, move more, and get 8-9 hours of quality sleep.
[12:25] Ask your doctor to run blood tests, including a CBC, chemistry panel, and CRP (C-reactive protein) test. Monitoring your CRP levels is crucial and even slight elevations indicate that something is out of balance in your body.
[1] Get an HbA1c test to find out your blood sugar levels over the past 90 days. High blood sugar levels increase your risk for all types of health issues.
[13:44] Be sure ask your doctor for a thyroid panel and DHEA-sulfate test.
[16:30] Symptoms you need to pay attention to include chronic fatigue, chronic cough, brain fog, changes in your hair, hernias, body odor, and lumps and bleeding that aren’t going away quickly.
[19:28] Our children are plagued with illness, including autism, depression, ADD, diabetes, obesity, and more.
[20:50] Reducing your sugar content by 50 percent and moving 30 minutes a day are simple shifts that will make a big difference.
[21:38] Dr. Connealy is offering listeners a free 14-day food plan to help prevent and treat cancer at jjvirgin.com/revo
[24:35] Dr. Connealy’s one thing that makes the biggest difference: decide to be happy and get rid of your emotional conflicts to help you heal and feel amazing.
[25:25] Starting your day with the right breakfast sets the metabolic tone for the day. The easiest way to do this is with JJ Virgin’s Paleo-Inspired All-In-One Shake!
[26:15] Listener’s question: Is having a little bit of sugar really that big of a deal? Sugar is pro-aging, feeds cancer cells, and is pro-inflammatory. There’s nothing good about it – find healthy swaps and use Sugar Impact Diet to retrain your sweet tooth instead!
