The Exam Room by the Physicians Committee

Dr. Kristi Funk, world-renowned cancer surgeon, shares four steps every woman should be taking to help shield themselves from breast cancer. Much of the discussion focuses on food, including research on the foods that have the most cancer-fighting ability.   You will also hear from Dr. Darrell Crisp who already lost his first wife to breast cancer when the hideous disease came calling for a second time.   After finding love again, his new wife, Karen, was also diagnosed with breast cancer. But together they vowed this story would have a different ending.   They had been studying lifestyle medicine after Dr. Crisp was able to overcome his own health struggles. What they learned made all the difference in Karen’s fight.   The Crisps join “The Weight Loss Champion” Chuck Carroll on The Exam Room Podcast to share their uncanny story which they’ve chronicled in their book Banish Breast Cancer.   This is the third and final episode with Dr. Funk for the Let’s Beat Breast Cancer series in 2022. — — — Let’s Beat Breast Cancer https://www.pcrm.org/letsbeatbreastcancer — — — White House Beat Cancer Rally Date: Oct. 27 Time: 12pm ET Details: https://bit.ly/WhiteHouseBeatCancer — — — Dr. Kristi Funk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkristifunk Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/drkristifunk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drkristifunk Website: https://pinklotus.com Book: https://amzn.to/3mmCP3h — — — Karen and Darrell Crisp Banish Breast Cancer Book: https://amzn.to/3F7UgQ3 — — — Diandra Fields Twitter: https://twitter.com/science_couple/status/1582749253889589254 — — — Chuck Carroll Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/ChuckCarrollWLC Facebook: http://wghtloss.cc/ChuckFacebook — — — Physicians Committee Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/physicianscommittee Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PCRM.org Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/pcrm — — — 21-Day Vegan Kickstart App iOS: https://bit.ly/VegKStrt-iOS Android: https://bit.ly/VegKStrtAndrd Web: https://www.pcrm.org/kickstart — — — Barnard Medical Center Appointments https://bit.ly/BMCtelemed 202-527-7500 — — — Share the Show Please subscribe and give the show a 5-star rating on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or many other podcast providers.
