You'll never know how much you & your videos have meant to me! I lost 92lbs in 9 months at 53yrs old and love that I found you during that journey! You're a part of me living a longer, healthier life! I lost the love of my life in July, 27yrs daily, knowing her 35. It's hard to get motivated, to exercise, to anything. But I try sometimes. You make things fun. And challenging! People would say "Stay strong!" but when I hear the word Strong mentioned I think of you Natasha! 💪 ❤ My daughter had quarter sized cancer removed from her lung & ovary..and my mom had lung cancer spread to a rib, but with treatment is ok now too! Both about 5yrs ago and doing fine now. Thank you thank you thank you, for you.
Thank you Natasha for the update. Glad to hear you are doing so well! Cancer also uses glutamine (a lot more than glucose actually). I started keto diet after my own BC diagnosis then I learned the body can break down protein into glucose if needed so cancer cells get access to it one way or another. I am doing plant based diet with health fats, including broth in every meal. Also on anastrozole and starting Verzenio next week. Sending positive vibes your way ❤
How long did you do keto? I feel so good, I’m going to stick it out for a while. There are other benefits to using ketones as fuel. I didn’t feel good when I went vegan years ago but I’ve been pescatarian or full vegetarian since I was 16. Positive vibes back! Wish you all the best. Thanks for commenting.
I did keto during the first 5 and 1/2 months of chemo. Towards the end I started to include fish and chicken since I was weak. Since then, I take 2 spoons of apple cider with the mother to decrease sugar levels in my blood. “Glutamine, the most abundant amino acid in plasma, is a well-known nutrient used by cancer cells to increase proliferation as well as survival under metabolic stress conditions.” Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5746034/#:~:text=Glutamine%2C%20the%20most%20abundant%20amino,survival%20under%20metabolic%20stress%20conditions.

@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilatesDid you know about ketosis before? I found so mamy many benefits of being in ketosis after being vegetarian for 17 years...then I slowly adapted to much more animal products and less carbs, since 2017...I don't have any health issues but I will never go back to carb addiction. I would also follow strict keto if I had a cancer. Wish you the Best! ❤
I’m so excited to hear that your keto. I’m 47 and was diagnosed with breast cancer 12/22/23. I’ve done a ton of research including research into metabolic approach to cancer and therapeutic keto. I don’t see anyone else talking about it so super excited to hear you mention it.
Perhaps you can also use algae oil (50 drops per day), for example in curd. It has good omega3 fatty acids, which is very healthy. And for your coffee perhaps coconut blossom sugar?
Your are really doing well and not dwelling on all the negative aspects. Good for you! Keep moving forward. I hate stevia, too! Yuck. I don't mind monkfruit, though. Healing energy to you♥️🙏✨
Hi Natasha, I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably. Altough it looks like you have a very good keto diet I would like to share the diet I have been on with you. The soup Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat. Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready. I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. (Note: Apparently turmeric reduces the effect of some chemotherapy drugs and thus should not be taken during chemotherapy.) During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you. I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be healed. Amen.

Newish research supports keto and great reduction of blood glucose as an important part of a cancer treatment plan. Very cool you feel good and it’s not been as hard as one would think. Yay you!
Stevia based sweetners as well as monk fruit sweetners have no effect on blood glucose and are great options for low carb/keto diets. Just wanted to share! Good luck on your journey.. I case manage oncology patients and enjoy your videos🤍
Aw thank you so much! Trying to find a sweetener that works. They taste so bad to me! Heavy aftertaste. So far, xylitol (birch) is the only one not leaving the horrible taste in my mouth 🫶
Been doing keto since 2017 hoping that my brain tumor would stay benign after a major 13h surgery to try to remove it. They did removed big part of it but I still have some left. So far so good. Keto is now part of my life as if I’ve been eating like this all my life. 3y ago I suddenly have a lump on my left breast. I ignored it because I thought it’s just another protein like last time. End of last year I decided to have a mammogram and they immediately ordered me to have a biopsy and they confirmed that it’s ER positive. Had 2 lumpectomies and removed one of my lymph node and came out negative. My doctor prescribed me tamoxifen but only been taking 1/4 of the dosage to prevent too many side effects. He also suggested a mastectomy because it appeared that I still have the cancer receptors. My surgery is due in 2 weeks with reconstruction immediately after removing the breast tissue.
My favorite part of the morning is coffee so I feel your pain. You might want to give Tyler’s coffee a try. For health reasons I can’t handle the acid and this is the only acid-FREE coffee. I think the decaf isn’t so great tasting but the regular coffee is and it tastes so smooth. I put frothed milk on top of it and I love it - I will either have it plain (it’s not bitter) or put a Truvia (sweetener) in it too. Good luck!
Wow that’s amazing. Have you been in ketosis for 5 years or in and out? I haven’t decided how long I’m going to do this but I’ve never felt better. I know I’ll never go back to regular carbs but it would be nice to add fruit, veggies and legumes back in sometime.
I have been mostly in ketosis but it's easy to go in and out , so intermittent fasting helps me stay there for longer amounts of time. I healed from several issues including pre diabetes and insulin resistance; and over time I have learned to be more strict. I went for a stretch of six month under 20 carbs a day. That was amazing. I am not 50-100 carbs a day and so I go in and out. I started following Dr. Boz years ago, who is on youtube, and she is such a great inspiration and teacher. She was able to heal her mom who had cancer and wrote a book about that. @@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates
I have been sugar free and grain free for five years, but in and out of ketosis unless I add some intermittent fasting. There was a stretch of time I stayed under 20 carbs every day strictly, and I healed some major health concerns including pre diabetes and insulin resistance. I now will be between 30-80 carbs on average a day, and am very flexible - but mostly ketosis. I highly recommend it for menopause!! If I leave ketosis It's the only time I have a hot flash. I follow Dr. Boz on youtube, who wrote a book about healing her mom from cancer with ketosis. She's an inspiration. @@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates
I began with insulin resistance, pre diabetes, some breast cancer and HPV scares, and general menopause symptoms. Five years ago I was a life long vegetarian/vegan and ate mostly organic and non processed foods. I would juice fast on the reg. But I was gaining weight and health issues. I read Dr. Boz's book about how she discovered a way to help her mom who had cancer with keto diet. When I quit sugar and grains (went high fat, low carb) not only did I lose my cravings for carbs and foods (gained control) but learning how to put my body intio ketosis brought my AIC to normal, all all my health scares dissolved. I lost 30 pounds, and menopasue sx. I will never go back to carb based. I stay 20-100 carbs tops and intermittent fast. @@beaglerundog
The mouth sores are called mucusitis (sorry for the spelling). They can get very serious to the point where you can’t eat with them-so it’s a good thing you are doing a mouth wash-you need to tell your dr if they get worse, they are one thing that is chemo related and can get out of hand pretty quickly! What a thoughtful son-that was really considerate of the wearing of the mask!
Thanks for the info! I’m not actually doing any chemo but I’m on hormone and endocrine therapy. The sores are totally gone but I imagine they will be back. I’m on a break week from kisqali so maybe when I start up again. Luckily, they did not hurt at all. Just annoying. I’m sure the mouth washes helped ❤
Really glad you're feeling energetic and keeping up with making your awesome fitness videos. Let us know what the doctor says about your eye issues. Hope you find a way to enjoy coffee again. 😊
Looking great, eye sight must definitely due to the dosage of medicine subscribed if possible to decrease the dosage, would be great. plain filter coffee weather hot or cold with no adding has a lot of health benefits, try ice coffee. If possible walking at least 40 minutes a day should improve the immune system and Of course, try eating more arugula and green onion. Keep fighting and god bless.
How about making bulletproof coffee it is very delicious and keto. It's so hard to stick with keto with a family. My Doctor didn't think keto is necessary as we make glucose in our body. Can you expand on that which you did mention a little. I love your videos.
Sadly, doctors don’t know a lot about nutrition and understands the benefits. The fact that I feel better than ever and am buzzing with energy despite heavy medications speaks volumes to me! My onco said the same thing but I’m doing it anyway. 😅 thanks for the coffee tip!
I have heard that allulose is a very good keto friendly sweetener. It is not a sugar alcohol which can be hard on the stomach for some people (at least it is for me). 😊
It sounds like cataracts. That is exactly like the symptoms I had before I had cataract surgery in both eyes. I am pescatarion. I do not eat any meat except albacore tuna, shrimp and scallops.
Same with me, pescatarian for many years. I went to the eye doctor and my eyes looked great. They think it’s an aura migraine possibly brought on by the medication.
I am 48YO, on a chemical menopause, and my eyes are getting lousier too…Have you tried adding butter (aka bullet coffee) to your coffee? It sounds gross but I actually like it.
I just found this study done by the NIH published January 30, 2024. Vegan diets versus Keto diets changes to the immune system. Remember, the immune system is designed to look for, hunt down, and kill cancer. "Switching to vegan or ketogenic diet rapidly impacts immune system, study shows" "According to the authors, the results of this study demonstrate that the immune system responds surprisingly rapidly to nutritional interventions. The authors suggest that it may be possible to tailor diets to prevent disease or complement disease treatments, such as by slowing processes associated with cancer or neurodegenerative disorders." "Each person ate as much as desired of one diet (vegan or keto) for two weeks, followed by as much as desired of the other diet for two weeks. People on the vegan diet, which contained about 10% fat and 75% carbohydrates, chose to consume fewer calories than those on the keto diet, which contained about 76% fat and 10% carbohydrates." "Switching exclusively to the study diets caused notable changes in all participants. The vegan diet significantly impacted pathways linked to the innate immune system, including antiviral responses. On the other hand, the keto diet led to significant increases in biochemical and cellular processes linked to adaptive immunity, such as pathways associated with T and B cells." medicalxpress.com/news/2024-01-vegan-ketogenic-diet-rapidly-impacts.html My mom had T-cell lymphoma. Doctors here told her that it was a very rare form of cancer and that as soon as she felt well enough she would start chemo. She never felt well enough.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve done both and on keto, I can’t remember ever feeling better. So much energy and down to my goal weight very quickly. I’m not sure which the article is saying is better or maybe it’s saying they are both good for different reasons. So sorry about your mom ❤❤️🩹
infections where? none that I know of. I'm feeling really good. Still not sure what the eye thing is. The optometrist saw nothing wrong; thinks it might be something called an aura migraine. They can happen without a headache.
Have you tried Xylitol as a replacement for sugar? Chat to your Dr about it. My Dad used it all throughout his treatments with the recommendation from his oncologist. I completely understand how necessary a good cup of coffee is. I feel the same. ❤❤❤
Keto is a great decision, but full carnivore would be better. You will need to fast too: OMAD every day and then 4 days of fasting once in a while. Don't take proteine powders, they will raise your insulin and may be converted to glucose. Reducing your glucose is not enough, you will need to reduce glutamine too: DON or DRP-104 if you can get a prescription from your med, otherwise Theanine and EGCG (both in green tea).
Thanks for tips. Learning quickly as I go. Protein powder was messing me up so I bought more fat, grass fed, organic ghee and mct oil. I’m not going to eat animals so I’m doing it my way. Also, I’m not going to fast because I need to keep weight on. I’m already losing weight quickly and am only 105lbs. I fast for 16 hours and eat 8 hours. Drinking green tea. Def no 4 day fasts for me. I’m a fitness instructor and workout a lot. Need the energy.
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates Humans are carnivores, so better to accept that fact if you want to heal, sorry. Butter and meat is all you need. Plants are full of phytochemical and hormone disruptors that you are not designed to eat, it may be the cause of your illness in the first place. Fasting is important in order to reduce your glucose and glutamine levels as much as possible. When you become completely fat adapted you won’t have any energy problems, not even on your workouts. The extra fat in your body is not useful, you want to keep your muscle weight. Just eat enough fat and protein and you will be in perfect weight. Drinking green tea is nice but you will need a lot of Theanine and EGCG to reduce glutamine. So better to supplement them in addition to the tea.
Hi beautiful I'm breast cancer survivor and try truvani yes very clean I'm drinking 5 years and add frozen berry,spinach anything healthy and I do fasting 12 to 6 and finally drop q6 pounds because anastrozole with zoladex effects metabolism and exercise
mam if you let the water out of the lungs than there is no nodules in the lungs than the lungs are clear ? my mom have same situation like you she had HRCT scan and it mentioned that pleural effusion in left lung but no nodules my mom have no symptoms like shortness of breath bla bla pls rply me
I think I’m misunderstanding the comment. I wish your mom all the best. I’ll find out if the modules are still there on my next pet scan in a couple months.
Some breast cancer patients taking anti estrogen drugs are using low dose vaginal estrogen cream to counteract the genitourinary atrophy that causes urinary urgency and UTI’s. The dose is so low that urologists say it doesn’t raise the level of circulating estrogen in your body so it’s worth asking your oncologist about it.
Yes, I do almond milk but a lot of the sugar free stuff taste so fake to me or at least leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth. Still working on it. So far, xylitol does it the least. 🫶
Unfortunately, it has the same carbs and sugars and sugar… Coconut sugar's average GI rating is around 50-54, essentially the same as white table sugar. As a general rule, you can substitute coconut sugar for white sugar, but it has the same number of calories and grams of carbs so it will affect blood sugars in the same way as white table sugar can
Yes. I’ve tried that one. I think I’ve almost tried all of them. I’m so sensitive to these alternate sugars. They leave a terrible taste in my mouth and I just can’t get used to them 🙈
Yay! It's good to hear that you feel good on a Keto diet! I commented here before Christmas and had asked about your diet before your diagnosis, but then I got sick with what I suspect was Covid since I lost my sense of taste and smell a week into being sick, the Saturday after Christmas. I think they are only now beginning to come back but I am not really sure, I think that I forgot what things taste and smell like. I also believe in vaccines but I was holding out for the Pfizer Covid booster because Moderna puts me in the bed for two days. At a doctor's visit a couple of months ago I was offered a Flu shot but asked for a Pfizer Covid vaccine instead and ended up without either one. I read an article a few days ago that stated getting one of the vaccines shuts the door on the other illness, so I should have said yes to that Flu shot when I was offered it. For folks with many risk factors getting both is probably the best course of action. I don't like coffee I never developed a taste for it but I have heard of bullet proof coffee which uses coconut oil. I don't remember what else was in it. You can blend your own non-sugar sweetener mix. I don't like the taste of any non-sugar sweetener by itself. I now make a gallon of cold black tea using only one tiny pink Sweet 'N Low spoonful of the Sweet 'N Low (Saccharin?) and one tiny pink spoonful of SweetLeaf stevia. SweetLeaf claims to be the best tasting stevia. I use to make a gallon of cold black tea with 1 1/2 cup of granulated white sugar. People would complain that it was too sweet. I did not go cold turkey and drop sugar for Sweet 'N Low and Sweetleaf stevia, I gradually reduced the amount of sugar I used by cutting it with the non-sugar sweeteners. I remember my aunt bringing me and my sister to the beach in Florida and drinking the sugar-free cola that she bought, Tab, which I believe was sweetened with saccharin. My aunt the saccharin drinker died in 2022 at the age of 89. I wanted to mention that human immune system is designed to fight cancer because we have so many cellular reactions going on all the time that mistakes are bound to happen. This means that we all get cancer in our body at some point. Pampering our immune systems is the best way to prevent cancer from flourishing. Our skin is part of our immune system. It's the largest part I think. Please consider that getting your skin tattooed may impair your immune system to some degree. Tattoo inks can contain substances that promote cancer as well. This message is more for those who considering getting a tattoo. I personally don't understand why people refuse to eat meat, but as Felix Harder mentions on his RUclips website, eating meats generally means that vitamins and minerals are more bioavailable to us. He has a video where he discusses vegans diets versus carnivore diets, I am not sure this is it. ruclips.net/video/b1UIo0D45a8/видео.html What if there is something in meat that your body cannot get anywhere else? That could an unexpected danger of eliminating an entire food group from your diet.
Personally, I do not want to chew on animals 🙈 it just doesn’t feel right to me. I look at seafood a little different. I don’t feel like the fish are tortured. Thanks for your comment and suggestions! Hope you feel better from covid and are doing well now! 🫶
Thank you for answering my question about why you don't eat meat. During the year or so that I spent watching Jenny Apple dying of lung cancer here on You Tube I never got up the nerve to ask her why she had chosen not to eat meat. I wonder if the cows threw a party after she died? I am sure that they must have appreciated her contribution to their comfort and safety. She did clear space on the planet for them by removing herself from it. I guess that I can admire people who sacrifice themselves for a cause even if I don't understand that cause?@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates
Wow, this is my first Time to hear you, and I’m sorry to hear about your situation, I noticed you have a lot of videos and you take Life very seriously, I do not want to offend you in any way, but what I want to say, is possibly going to, maybe even turn you off and I’m sorry if it does, if you don’t know the truth about cancer it will be very aggressive,and it can take your life, it sounds like you are in the beginning stages and that is good, OK here we go,Angels are reapers that’s what they do. They reap, good angels reap good things and bad angels reap bad things, you may know and you may not know about spiritual evil wickedness, but I do, and I would not want to scare you in anyway, I am here to help you, I am a 35 year old Christian, I am a 58 year old human, in the last 35 years I’ve studied the Bible, and I know what it says, and the devil is out to (steal) (kill) and (destroy)your (life)and he goes about seeking whom he can devour, And it appears as though he has Found you out, do not be afraid. God has already overcome the evil one, and we can live and have life more abundantly, because of what Jesus Christ has already done. The Bible says that they scourged Jesus at the whipping post the same day he went to the cross, that means Jesus paid the price for all sickness at the whipping post. Then he paid the price for our salvation at the cross, all we have to do is accept Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, and do what the Bible says, I have much more I want to say, but I’ve met two different men on RUclips that say things so much better than I do and I want to invite you to their website on RUclips. The first man’s name is Curry Blake and the second one is called Andrew Wommack Please go and listen to everything they have to say immediately I believe your life depends on it, I will be praying for you, and I do believe you will live and not die, and you will be able to testify as to what Jesus has done for you as well.
That’s what the optometrist thinks. I’m not convinced though. No headache and the description doesn’t match up except for the “flashing lights”. Funny enough I haven’t had it at all now that I’m on my break week from Kisqali so waiting to see what happens when I start back up again.
People say you should. A lot of people are going full carnivore diet. Personally, I haven’t eaten meat since I was 16 and I do not want to. I love animals and it doesn’t feel right to me 🫶
RE: meat and protein powders - in South Africa we have banting which is low carb / keto. One of the things is that it should me a medium protein diet. Meat should not be bigger than the palm size and thickness of the palm. So please make sure the protein powder compared to meat intake ratio is the same as protein gets converted to sugar.

Hi Natasha,
I live in South Africa. The sun is always shining here and there is always the risk of developing skin cancer if you have a light skin. I developed a growth on the lower eye lid of my right eye. I do not know if it is cancer or just a benign growth but I went on a high nutrition diet for about two months and the growth have shrunk noticeably.
Altough it looks like you have a very good keto diet I would like to share the diet I have been on with you.
The soup
Ingredients: - two handfuls of Chopped broccoli, one chopped onion (purple), two bags of green tea, two pinches of mixed herbs, two sticks of cut celery, Two handfuls of frozen and crushed spinach or kale, half a table spoon of crushed garlic, Three shakes of black pepper, seven shakes of turmeric, two tablespoons full of apple cider vinegar (with the mother), one bag of white onion powder soup for flavour, a hand full of cooked red speckled beans and a handful of cooked mince meat.
Just add all the ingredients in a pot, add boiling water and switch the stove on high till the water boils. Then lower the heat until the water simmer, Let the soup simmer for an hour. The soup is now ready.
I would only drink water in the morning. At 12h00 I would start eating the soup. There will be about two helpings that you can eat in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame. I also ate a fruit salad every day in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame.
(Note: Apparently turmeric reduces the effect of some chemotherapy drugs and thus should not be taken during chemotherapy.)
During the rest of the week I would also eat food that contains vitamin D like avocado’s, mushrooms, liver and eggs in the 12h00 to 18h00 time frame.
It seems to be working for me, maybe it will also work for you.
I pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ that you will be healed. Amen.
Best regards
Chris

I am so glad you are doing good Natasha I will keep you in my prayers okay keep up the good work outs
Pyure Organic Stevia Blend Granulated All-Purpose is amazing, tastes like sugar
Thanks for sharing!
Your face smiles at rest.😊
Thank you or sharing, you look amazing ! Keto diet must suit you ❤
My favorite part of the morning is coffee so I feel your pain. You might want to give Tyler’s coffee a try. For health reasons I can’t handle the acid and this is the only acid-FREE coffee. I think the decaf isn’t so great tasting but the regular coffee is and it tastes so smooth. I put frothed milk on top of it and I love it - I will either have it plain (it’s not bitter) or put a Truvia (sweetener) in it too. Good luck!
you are doing what i would do! have been sugar free and keto for five years and so much healing.
Wow that’s amazing. Have you been in ketosis for 5 years or in and out? I haven’t decided how long I’m going to do this but I’ve never felt better. I know I’ll never go back to regular carbs but it would be nice to add fruit, veggies and legumes back in sometime.
I have been mostly in ketosis but it's easy to go in and out , so intermittent fasting helps me stay there for longer amounts of time. I healed from several issues including pre diabetes and insulin resistance; and over time I have learned to be more strict. I went for a stretch of six month under 20 carbs a day. That was amazing. I am not 50-100 carbs a day and so I go in and out. I started following Dr. Boz years ago, who is on youtube, and she is such a great inspiration and teacher. She was able to heal her mom who had cancer and wrote a book about that. @@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates
I have been sugar free and grain free for five years, but in and out of ketosis unless I add some intermittent fasting. There was a stretch of time I stayed under 20 carbs every day strictly, and I healed some major health concerns including pre diabetes and insulin resistance. I now will be between 30-80 carbs on average a day, and am very flexible - but mostly ketosis. I highly recommend it for menopause!! If I leave ketosis It's the only time I have a hot flash. I follow Dr. Boz on youtube, who wrote a book about healing her mom from cancer with ketosis. She's an inspiration. @@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates
Can you explain what you mean about it being healing for you, thanks
I began with insulin resistance, pre diabetes, some breast cancer and HPV scares, and general menopause symptoms. Five years ago I was a life long vegetarian/vegan and ate mostly organic and non processed foods. I would juice fast on the reg. But I was gaining weight and health issues. I read Dr. Boz's book about how she discovered a way to help her mom who had cancer with keto diet. When I quit sugar and grains (went high fat, low carb) not only did I lose my cravings for carbs and foods (gained control) but learning how to put my body intio ketosis brought my AIC to normal, all all my health scares dissolved. I lost 30 pounds, and menopasue sx. I will never go back to carb based. I stay 20-100 carbs tops and intermittent fast. @@beaglerundog
Abby Sharp just developed a new protein powder. I'm not sure about the sugar content, but you might check it out.
The mouth sores are called mucusitis (sorry for the spelling). They can get very serious to the point where you can’t eat with them-so it’s a good thing you are doing a mouth wash-you need to tell your dr if they get worse, they are one thing that is chemo related and can get out of hand pretty quickly! What a thoughtful son-that was really considerate of the wearing of the mask!
Thanks for the info! I’m not actually doing any chemo but I’m on hormone and endocrine therapy. The sores are totally gone but I imagine they will be back. I’m on a break week from kisqali so maybe when I start up again. Luckily, they did not hurt at all. Just annoying. I’m sure the mouth washes helped ❤
Also try Folger's Black silk coffee. It is not bitter.
Have you tried Allulose? I like it the best out of all the replacement sweeteners. It tastes most like real sugar to me.
Is that different than “monk fruit with allulose”? They all taste the same to me, sadly 😭
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates you can get just Allulose by itself. I use it in place of sugar. It tastes most like sugar out of all of those sweeteners.
@@nonne7018ok thanks! I’ll give it a shot!❤
Really glad you're feeling energetic and keeping up with making your awesome fitness videos. Let us know what the doctor says about your eye issues. Hope you find a way to enjoy coffee again. 😊
Thank you so much! And me too! 😆
my scan showed a “tiny hernia near umbilicus” also. no one mentioned. guess no big deal. ovarian survivor here
Interesting! Maybe it’s more common than we know 🙊
Looking great, eye sight must definitely due to the dosage of medicine subscribed if possible to decrease the dosage, would be great. plain filter coffee weather hot or cold with no adding has a lot of health benefits, try ice coffee.
If possible walking at least 40 minutes a day should improve the immune system and
Of course, try eating more arugula and green onion. Keep fighting and god bless.
How about making bulletproof coffee it is very delicious and keto. It's so hard to stick with keto with a family. My Doctor didn't think keto is necessary as we make glucose in our body. Can you expand on that which you did mention a little. I love your videos.
Sadly, doctors don’t know a lot about nutrition and understands the benefits. The fact that I feel better than ever and am buzzing with energy despite heavy medications speaks volumes to me! My onco said the same thing but I’m doing it anyway. 😅 thanks for the coffee tip!
I hear a tiny pinch of salt cuts the bitterness of coffee
And you can’t taste it at all
Google told me that yesterday! Going to try 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I have heard that allulose is a very good keto friendly sweetener. It is not a sugar alcohol which can be hard on the stomach for some people (at least it is for me). 😊
Thanks! I do have that one. They all leave a weird after taste in my mouth 😭 trying to get used to it.
It sounds like cataracts. That is exactly like the symptoms I had before I had cataract surgery in both eyes. I am pescatarion. I do not eat any meat except albacore tuna, shrimp and scallops.
Same with me, pescatarian for many years. I went to the eye doctor and my eyes looked great. They think it’s an aura migraine possibly brought on by the medication.
I am 48YO, on a chemical menopause, and my eyes are getting lousier too…Have you tried adding butter (aka bullet coffee) to your coffee? It sounds gross but I actually like it.
Willing to try! ❤️
I just found this study done by the NIH published January 30, 2024. Vegan diets versus Keto diets changes to the immune system. Remember, the immune system is designed to look for, hunt down, and kill cancer.
"Switching to vegan or ketogenic diet rapidly impacts immune system, study shows"
"According to the authors, the results of this study demonstrate that the immune system responds surprisingly rapidly to nutritional interventions. The authors suggest that it may be possible to tailor diets to prevent disease or complement disease treatments, such as by slowing processes associated with cancer or neurodegenerative disorders."
"Each person ate as much as desired of one diet (vegan or keto) for two weeks, followed by as much as desired of the other diet for two weeks. People on the vegan diet, which contained about 10% fat and 75% carbohydrates, chose to consume fewer calories than those on the keto diet, which contained about 76% fat and 10% carbohydrates."
"Switching exclusively to the study diets caused notable changes in all participants. The vegan diet significantly impacted pathways linked to the innate immune system, including antiviral responses. On the other hand, the keto diet led to significant increases in biochemical and cellular processes linked to adaptive immunity, such as pathways associated with T and B cells."

My mom had T-cell lymphoma. Doctors here told her that it was a very rare form of cancer and that as soon as she felt well enough she would start chemo. She never felt well enough.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve done both and on keto, I can’t remember ever feeling better. So much energy and down to my goal weight very quickly. I’m not sure which the article is saying is better or maybe it’s saying they are both good for different reasons. So sorry about your mom ❤❤️🩹
Can you talk about your plant based keto diet and recipes please
If you follow me on Instagram, I’m posting a lot of my food in my stories! @natashaswinter
Monkfruit sweetner or Erythritol is allowed on Keto and tastes really good.
Thank you!! Been playing around with them and xylitol. I think I got my coffee better by making it bulletproof! ❤️
@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates that's great to hear:) my husband likes it bulletproof as well.
Try cocowhip. It's like cool whip but made out of coconut oil.
Have u checked if u have infections?just a thought and a question.
Sending u love and strength 🩵
Also what was the reason for ur vision problems?
infections where? none that I know of. I'm feeling really good. Still not sure what the eye thing is. The optometrist saw nothing wrong; thinks it might be something called an aura migraine. They can happen without a headache.
Have you tried Xylitol as a replacement for sugar? Chat to your Dr about it. My Dad used it all throughout his treatments with the recommendation from his oncologist. I completely understand how necessary a good cup of coffee is. I feel the same. ❤❤❤
I don’t think I havw that one. I’ll look into that. Thank you!!
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates it’s the closest thing to sugar that there is. I love it too!
Def gonna try it! Thx!
Xylitol is also good for teeth.
Just be careful as it upsets the tummy
Try erythritol or allulose-both have a nice taste. I’m with you on stevia
Put heavy whipping cream in your coffee.
Tried it! 😭 still miss the sugar. I just used a teaspoon but it cut the bitterness and made the coffee so good 🙈
Keto is a great decision, but full carnivore would be better. You will need to fast too: OMAD every day and then 4 days of fasting once in a while. Don't take proteine powders, they will raise your insulin and may be converted to glucose. Reducing your glucose is not enough, you will need to reduce glutamine too: DON or DRP-104 if you can get a prescription from your med, otherwise Theanine and EGCG (both in green tea).
Thanks for tips. Learning quickly as I go. Protein powder was messing me up so I bought more fat, grass fed, organic ghee and mct oil. I’m not going to eat animals so I’m doing it my way. Also, I’m not going to fast because I need to keep weight on. I’m already losing weight quickly and am only 105lbs. I fast for 16 hours and eat 8 hours. Drinking green tea. Def no 4 day fasts for me. I’m a fitness instructor and workout a lot. Need the energy.
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates Humans are carnivores, so better to accept that fact if you want to heal, sorry. Butter and meat is all you need. Plants are full of phytochemical and hormone disruptors that you are not designed to eat, it may be the cause of your illness in the first place.
Fasting is important in order to reduce your glucose and glutamine levels as much as possible. When you become completely fat adapted you won’t have any energy problems, not even on your workouts. The extra fat in your body is not useful, you want to keep your muscle weight. Just eat enough fat and protein and you will be in perfect weight.
Drinking green tea is nice but you will need a lot of Theanine and EGCG to reduce glutamine. So better to supplement them in addition to the tea.
Hi beautiful I'm breast cancer survivor and try truvani yes very clean I'm drinking 5 years and add frozen berry,spinach anything healthy and I do fasting 12 to 6 and finally drop q6 pounds because anastrozole with zoladex effects metabolism and exercise
Awesome. Thanks for sharing! 🫶
Dr berg is great for keto
Why not do black tea? It is pretty good plain, if you get the right one.
I can try. I am just hoping to find a way to enjoy coffee again. It also has good properties, like tea.
mam if you let the water out of the lungs than there is no nodules in the lungs than the lungs are clear ? my mom have same situation like you she had HRCT scan and it mentioned that pleural effusion in left lung but no nodules my mom have no symptoms like shortness of breath bla bla pls rply me
I think I’m misunderstanding the comment. I wish your mom all the best. I’ll find out if the modules are still there on my next pet scan in a couple months.
I put alittle honey in my coffee. But I guess you can’t use coffee.
Yes, I cannot have honey 🍯 🫶
How can you have cancer you are so fit, but god bless you will be soon free of it
@@mitranimukherjee4844 medications have come a long way and can make the cancer at least go to sleep. Hoping it continues to stay away! I feel great.
I think you can't use herbal products like protein powder while taking Anstrozol.
Never heard that. They just said no grapefruit and no pomegranate but I think that more for Kisqali.
Some breast cancer patients taking anti estrogen drugs are using low dose vaginal estrogen cream to counteract the genitourinary atrophy that causes urinary urgency and UTI’s.
The dose is so low that urologists say it doesn’t raise the level of circulating estrogen in your body so it’s worth asking your oncologist about it.
I’m one of those women. The estrodial cream was a total game changer. Definitely ask your medical team about it.
Care with that!
Hugs just git diagnosed stage 3 breast cancer
Best wishes to you. 🫶
I love that protein powder. Favorite is Banana Cinnamon
Oh yay I hope I like it!
What about using honey or maple syrup? It’s not processed sugar!
PS: I have chai tea instead of coffee.
PS you could be talking to someone on your phone lol! I wouldn’t find it funny someone talking in their car alone.
Honey and maple syrup is sugar. I’m doing no sugar / no (as low as possible) carbs to be in ketosis. It’s hard to do 😅
Try allulose instead of sugar. It’s it friendly I think
💛💚
How about some sugar free syrup in coffee? So many to try!
I do almond milk
Yes, I do almond milk but a lot of the sugar free stuff taste so fake to me or at least leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth. Still working on it. So far, xylitol does it the least. 🫶
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates yeah I have to just use a tiny bit to knock the coffee flavour out and some are so sweet tasting!
Chemo definitely compromised my eye sight😩
I’m sorry to hear that. I haven’t had to do any chemo yet. It’s all so scary taking things that are toxic to us.
Can you use honey or maple syrup?
Nope. That’s all sugar 🙊
Maybe you could switch to tea? I put sugar free Swiss miss hot 🍫 powder in my coffee.
I have been drinking much more tea! Green tea every day. 🍵
@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates Ok. That's great! I keep wanting to drink more, but I don't
Try Coconut sugar for your coffee ❤
Unfortunately, it has the same carbs and sugars and sugar… Coconut sugar's average GI rating is around 50-54, essentially the same as white table sugar. As a general rule, you can substitute coconut sugar for white sugar, but it has the same number of calories and grams of carbs so it will affect blood sugars in the same way as white table sugar can
i've not found a protein supplement without stevia😝
I’ve found a few now with monk fruit sweetener but kind of the same taste for me! 😩
Have you heard of Allulose?
Yes. I’ve tried that one. I think I’ve almost tried all of them. I’m so sensitive to these alternate sugars. They leave a terrible taste in my mouth and I just can’t get used to them 🙈
Yay! It's good to hear that you feel good on a Keto diet!
I commented here before Christmas and had asked about your diet before your diagnosis, but then I got sick with what I suspect was Covid since I lost my sense of taste and smell a week into being sick, the Saturday after Christmas. I think they are only now beginning to come back but I am not really sure, I think that I forgot what things taste and smell like.
I also believe in vaccines but I was holding out for the Pfizer Covid booster because Moderna puts me in the bed for two days. At a doctor's visit a couple of months ago I was offered a Flu shot but asked for a Pfizer Covid vaccine instead and ended up without either one. I read an article a few days ago that stated getting one of the vaccines shuts the door on the other illness, so I should have said yes to that Flu shot when I was offered it. For folks with many risk factors getting both is probably the best course of action.
I don't like coffee I never developed a taste for it but I have heard of bullet proof coffee which uses coconut oil. I don't remember what else was in it.
You can blend your own non-sugar sweetener mix. I don't like the taste of any non-sugar sweetener by itself. I now make a gallon of cold black tea using only one tiny pink Sweet 'N Low spoonful of the Sweet 'N Low (Saccharin?) and one tiny pink spoonful of SweetLeaf stevia. SweetLeaf claims to be the best tasting stevia. I use to make a gallon of cold black tea with 1 1/2 cup of granulated white sugar. People would complain that it was too sweet. I did not go cold turkey and drop sugar for Sweet 'N Low and Sweetleaf stevia, I gradually reduced the amount of sugar I used by cutting it with the non-sugar sweeteners.
I remember my aunt bringing me and my sister to the beach in Florida and drinking the sugar-free cola that she bought, Tab, which I believe was sweetened with saccharin. My aunt the saccharin drinker died in 2022 at the age of 89.
I wanted to mention that human immune system is designed to fight cancer because we have so many cellular reactions going on all the time that mistakes are bound to happen. This means that we all get cancer in our body at some point. Pampering our immune systems is the best way to prevent cancer from flourishing.
Our skin is part of our immune system. It's the largest part I think. Please consider that getting your skin tattooed may impair your immune system to some degree. Tattoo inks can contain substances that promote cancer as well. This message is more for those who considering getting a tattoo.
I personally don't understand why people refuse to eat meat, but as Felix Harder mentions on his RUclips website, eating meats generally means that vitamins and minerals are more bioavailable to us.
He has a video where he discusses vegans diets versus carnivore diets, I am not sure this is it.
ruclips.net/video/b1UIo0D45a8/видео.html
What if there is something in meat that your body cannot get anywhere else? That could an unexpected danger of eliminating an entire food group from your diet.
Personally, I do not want to chew on animals 🙈 it just doesn’t feel right to me. I look at seafood a little different. I don’t feel like the fish are tortured. Thanks for your comment and suggestions! Hope you feel better from covid and are doing well now! 🫶
Thank you for answering my question about why you don't eat meat. During the year or so that I spent watching Jenny Apple dying of lung cancer here on You Tube I never got up the nerve to ask her why she had chosen not to eat meat.
I wonder if the cows threw a party after she died? I am sure that they must have appreciated her contribution to their comfort and safety. She did clear space on the planet for them by removing herself from it.
I guess that I can admire people who sacrifice themselves for a cause even if I don't understand that cause?@@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates
I like lmnt chocolate an m in my coffee with coconut cream

I worry about you between updates!
Aww hope you are well! I’m doing really well so far!
I would recommend buying all organic food. Maybe you already do.
Yes! I definitely do when possible so pretty much everything. Or at very least non gmo
@NatashaFitnessYogaPilates that's good. Glad to hear. Keeping you in my prayers 🙏 ❤️
Wow, this is my first Time to hear you, and I’m sorry to hear about your situation, I noticed you have a lot of videos and you take Life very seriously, I do not want to offend you in any way, but what I want to say, is possibly going to, maybe even turn you off and I’m sorry if it does, if you don’t know the truth about cancer it will be very aggressive,and it can take your life, it sounds like you are in the beginning stages and that is good, OK here we go,Angels are reapers that’s what they do. They reap, good angels reap good things and bad angels reap bad things, you may know and you may not know about spiritual evil wickedness, but I do, and I would not want to scare you in anyway, I am here to help you, I am a 35 year old Christian, I am a 58 year old human, in the last 35 years I’ve studied the Bible, and I know what it says, and the devil is out to (steal) (kill) and (destroy)your (life)and he goes about seeking whom he can devour, And it appears as though he has Found you out, do not be afraid. God has already overcome the evil one, and we can live and have life more abundantly, because of what Jesus Christ has already done. The Bible says that they scourged Jesus at the whipping post the same day he went to the cross, that means Jesus paid the price for all sickness at the whipping post. Then he paid the price for our salvation at the cross, all we have to do is accept Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior, and do what the Bible says, I have much more I want to say, but I’ve met two different men on RUclips that say things so much better than I do and I want to invite you to their website on RUclips. The first man’s name is Curry Blake and the second one is called Andrew Wommack Please go and listen to everything they have to say immediately I believe your life depends on it, I will be praying for you, and I do believe you will live and not die, and you will be able to testify as to what Jesus has done for you as well.
Fast fast fast.
Allulose the best sweetner
the best
Read about migraines with aura...
That’s what the optometrist thinks. I’m not convinced though. No headache and the description doesn’t match up except for the “flashing lights”. Funny enough I haven’t had it at all now that I’m on my break week from Kisqali so waiting to see what happens when I start back up again.
Try flavcity protein

RE: meat and protein powders - in South Africa we have banting which is low carb / keto. One of the things is that it should me a medium protein diet. Meat should not be bigger than the palm size and thickness of the palm. So please make sure the protein powder compared to meat intake ratio is the same as protein gets converted to sugar.
