#466: Breast Cancer: The Hidden COSTS & Radical Resilience (Secrets On Recovery, Team-Building & Nutrition REVEALED) | With Dr. Laura James

📍 Good news! My original Instagram is back! Please follow my original account at https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ and also my backup account at https://www.instagram.com/longevitywithnat/. Today, I’m joined by the exceptional Dr. Laura James, a breast cancer specialist who has spent over two decades guiding women through conventional treatment and integrative care. In our conversation, Dr. James opens up about the real struggles women face beyond the diagnosis—everything from family dynamics and workplace challenges to the “unmentionables” like body image, sexuality, and grief. She shares how her personal journey with chronic illness shaped her unique approach to truly supporting the whole person, not just the disease.
