What this episode covers

Amber Orman, MD, DipABLM is a double board-certified radiation oncologist and lifestyle medicine specialist focusing on breast cancer treatment and prevention. She is the Chief Wellness Office (CWO) of AdventHealth Medical Group. She is also the co-founder of the HEAL (Healthy Eating and Active Lifestyle) program at AdventHealth in Orlando, Florida. In this conversation Dr. Orman discusses the effects that our lifestyle choices have on cancer. She shares her own journey, and what inspired her to pursue this path early on, and brings more recent examples from her current patients. Dr. Orman talks about optimal practices in nutrition, exercise, stress, sleep, and alcohol consumption. What are the effects of these on primary prevention of cancer? On cancer recurrence? And on creating an optimal environment in our bodies to support the healing? Dr. Orman highlights that while genes play a role, we have a lot more control over getting cancer diagnosis than we might think, even if a person has a BRCA gene, for example. Tune in to learn more!
