Vous avez eu hormonothérapie ? Merci beaucoup
I could just imagine a carrot cake muffin with flax, walnut, pineapple, applesauce, carrot, and raisin! I like the idea of flax replacing gluten!
This interview deserves a million views. Very valuable information!
Chuck…I just made a cup of tea combining black and green teas, and thank you so much! I love it! I like it so much better than green tea alone. I also ordered some matcha green tea powder for my smoothies and I’m going to order ground flax seed later today. I have a paternal grandmother and aunt who both died of breast cancer in their 40’s and there is colon cancer, thyroid cancer, and lymphoma on the maternal side, so I’m anxious to do all I can to stay as healthy as possible. I’ve recently transitioned to WFPB eating, and I know even at 75, it can do so much for the rest of my hopefully long and healthy years! Louise J.
Best to grind the flaxseeeds just before you use it! So buy them whole
flaxseeds are a miracle worker - I'm motivated now to eat it way more than before - as I always wanted to!
Another one to put in the save category Chuck. As an OB/GYN I send everybody to pink lotus/exam room podcasts. Keep up the amazing work
Love the fact that you're a doctor who also shows his patients the path of lifestyle medicine!
I love Ms. Funk's answers.
Thank you so much ! Great interview !
Thanks for answering my question! ❤
Big thanks for all the wonderful information 😊
Such a great talk! So much valuable information. Thank you !
Thank you sooooo much, needed this
Excellent info. Thank u!
You're so amazing chuck.
I was so excited when I saw this! I love her!
The coffee study is always my favorite. I drink a pot a day. ❤with only soy milk
Great interview 😊I love the color of Chuck shirt😇thank you both so much 🙏
chuck rocking the pink for awareness!
So happy to hear about the green tea. I drink it regularly. Thanks for another informative video.
I would like to add flaxseed to my diet but I have also read that lignans actually increase estrogen and not decrease it, therefore if you have an estrogen positive cancer you should stay away from it. I think this is where the confusion comes for some people.
I have this question too. I have an estrogen level of 942 and I’m eating flax everyday
@@amyfullmer5047
Wow…isn’t that number high? I thought the high end of estrogen was a little over 100. I may be wrong.
@@amya9597 yes it is….. I wish I could contact Dr Funk via email or someone on her team to ask this question to. I have very dense breast tissue, but have recently passed through the three different tests and nothing is showing up.
Thank you for the great information 🌻
Okay thanks Mrs
Chuck, “fruit is my joy of joy at breakfast” ❤ this
I wonder what about broccoli microgreens? I really like microgreens and heard they're really amazing for nutrient density - is that going to be more or less than sprouts?
Question: is flax seed and sesame seeds that are known to be estrogenic are good for a cancer patient with estrogen positive receptor .?
imo no especially oil, I was advised to avoid and use infrequently such as sesame to season dishes
Let's All Please Remember : Not everything works for Every one. Study your own body up against many options.
I'm not a believer in flax. And I'm breast cancer free. My choices of foods are amazing it has taken years to research it.
I would Never tell any person to eat this or that. Most of what she says is very great but not all is exact. Be careful Know your own body It's a science Much Love
how.im a breast cancer too.
Great interview as always Chuck. I would like to know if putting soya milk in black tea reduces the benefits. Much love from Spain ❤️
Dr. Funk 👩🏼⚕️
Wish I had a dime for every time I’ve posted this on a vegan show 🤦🏻♀️ we need to tell the WHOLE STORY when it comes to B12 and Omega 3!! Many meat eaters are low or deficient as well! I think it’s like 40%. The livestock today are not happily eating grass and getting a bit of dirt and B12 along with it! They are in CAFO operations fed gmo corn and soy AND supplemented with B12! Not to mention it’s been repeatedly shown ALL people over 50 can’t assimilate it as well and NEED to supplement! It’s not just vegans by any stretch 🤦🏻♀️ As for Omega 3s, fish don’t make it!! They get it from algae or fish that ate algae!!! These days most fish we eat are farmed and deficient themselves! They are supplemented. Oh and the salmon get food coloring in their feed so they have that 🍣 color! Take a damn algae based supplement. Don’t spread incorrect information about a healthy whole food plant based diet!! A diet heavy in animal products is INHERENTLY deficient in so many vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients!! 👌🏼 🌱 💪
I missed the live but I wish Dr. Funk could answer my question 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Im diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma with DCIS ER PR positive. So I’ve heard flaxseed is not good for ER positive? And I love how she explains how flaxseeds helps with breast cancer. I was wondering if she could pretty please answer if ER PR positive is it safe to consume two tbsp of flax seeds? 🙏🏻
Forget the flaxseeds. ALA is converted at less than 5% to DHA. Go eat some fatty fish if you are concerned about Omega3s.
@@HH-gn9qt I actually don't believe we need conversions to DHA as much as you say - because ALA actually has pretty much the same effects as DHA. Also fish get DHA from algae - so just go to the source without counteracting it with cholesterol! FYI - cholesterol clogs the blood-brain barrier - because the brain makes its own cholesterol.
@@HH-gn9qt Its the lignans in flax that are helpful
Flax seeds has plant estrogen that mimic body strong estrogen so help prevent breast cancer
@@HH-gn9qt it's not 5 percent... it's 10 percent.. and even more in younger woman... You have it all wrong..
Plus not all fishes have omega 3 fatty acids..cuz if they're not eating o3 rich algea ....they can't possibly accumulate that in their tissues... so if you're that concerned..you can buy algea oil which have been purified to remove mercury and toxic things like that ...
Fishes are also eating microplastic and heavy toxic elements.. which can accumulate and when eat ...it can get biologically magnified as result of biomagnification and 10 percent law..
Also..fish industry is devastating to the environment...
Plus.. it's not just ALAs that are beneficial.. it's quite a few compounds in flax seeds that can be protective against breast cancer in particular and cancer in general ...
3 years plant based and just got diagnosed with breast cancer for the 2nd time. I'm sure the diet helps some but not me. I'm not going back to my old diet by any means, just saying it didn't prevent my cancer. 😕
Listen to Dr Ken Berry.
Contrary to popular belief ...dairy milk doesn't have vit d (no sig amount) ...so they're fortified..
Need a local chapter in Las Vegas!
Is spiraling powder and hemp seeds....OK to include in the diet for a patient with Invasive duct al carcinoma?
Dr.❤Funk you’re a very Bright Lady & very pretty 😍 as well. I myself went plant base a year & a half ago.
triphala is also nice - people use it for their hair too. I'm wondering if it's possible to absorb nutrients through the skin through washing hair?
Favorite WFPB NSOS ground flax muffin recipe?
What about NO FOOD. Namely, Fasting or intermittent fasting. And I see that there has been some episodes of this topic done by the Phy Committee and shows that less food reduces the risk for cancer, as for myself, prostate cancer...Yes matcha green tea for all cancers!
The MRI involves a contrast dye. What about the risks associated with that.
19:59 vegetable juice it is!! I mean those are botanically fruit, but 0 sugar. I think if anyone does juice - they should drink the pulp with it. If not, mix it with puree - like for a soup!
What about thermography for breast exam?
What about herbs? Specially Oregano?
How about lectins?
Sencha green tea!
Even better than matcha.
See mei tea for the win!
to Punch Life Back - I bet the alcohol applies to products on the shelf, but maybe not quite for ripe fruit (unless it's extremely overripe to smell the alcohol) - because it's like sugar - other nutrients counteract it. Then again, I don't know for sure - it's a guess.
What are the benefits of cashew nuts?
@Sarah ErikaI'd personally like to know the thoughts on having cultivated crops to eat vs wild-grown in terms of breast cancer. Are we killing ourselves with highly modified crops, like corn, wheat, etc. I mean she says soy's ok - but it's good to know.
16:41 I saw the orac values too and maybe I'm working with old data, but sumac actually was at the top of my list, followed by herbs like rosemary, oregano, parsley, mint, etc. and then acai.
Turkish Mecimek soup has red lentils and sumac. I leave the butter out.
@@happycook6737 some recipes on the internet don't have butter, like the 'unicorns in the kitchen' website
Where can you get the shirt?
It seems that you have a very different approach with respect to screening mammographies, then folks like Dr. McDougall, Dr. Popper Dr. Jenn Simmons. There are so many voices that it is beyond confusing for women and we deserve so much better.
Bottom line should eat plant based diet
That's what I was thinking. 🤔 It's not that complicated.
Where can I buy the shirt Dr. Funk has on?
Dried blueberry. Are they ok
Okay na I understand
I put 2 Tablespoons of ground Flaxseed meal in my smoothie every morning. Did I understand Dr Funk to say she is against Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Ciao doctor krist can some body with cancer in thy blood survive with this cuore you just talk about now?
My unscientific educated guess: this all applies to prostate cancer prevention, too! The breast and the prostate are both tasked with producing a pure fluid even if the diet has bad elements.
Absolutely! Applies to all hormone sensitive cancers 👌🏼
You are right in one respect. The part about unscientific.
@@HH-gn9qt Glad you affirm that my guess was educated!
Thank you for all of this. It’s so interesting that we have a pandemic of chronic illnesses yet I am so ignorant on what causes it. I was grateful to learn about how insulin works and why its harmful since my grandma suffered from diabetes. ❤❤❤❤❤ love you all!
What is wrong with plant based cream in coffee?
Holy FLAX!
In France, studies still say that soya products should be avoided...So, when in doubt..
France prance regardless explore the talks and use your mind God given. Soy saved me. ORGANIC only.
Amla has shown to have the highest antioxidant content of the several thousand foods tested as was mentioned in the podcast. However, there is an Ayurvedic formulation, called Triphala (which means “three fruits” in Sanskrit), that has found to have even higher antioxidant content as per Nutrition Facts Organizations. The Triphala formulation contains these three fruits; Amla, Bibhitaki and Haritaki. So a formulation containing Amla has higher antioxidant content than Amla alone. No reason given by Nutrition Facts organization. But I heard that it is the fruit Haritaki, which is responsible for higher anti-oxidation power of the combo. That means that Haritaki has even higher antioxidant content than Amla. It is possible that in the thousands of compounds measured for antioxidant content, Haritaki was not included.
Reference
@@JorjaFox66 further to my comment, one has to be a little careful in some of the Ayurvedic preparations, as about 20 percent of those were found to contain heavy metals as per consumer reports. Thus if you try Triphala make sure that it does not contain significant levels of heavy metals.
@@JorjaFox66 I have written a comment about the reference, but it keeps getting deleted after I post it. I don’t know why that happens.
Does coffee raise ldl cholesterol
there's definitely some debate over getting mastectomies if you have a family history of breast cancer. Actually treatment for breast cancer in general - since sometimes people can outlive it. Not sure how true these are or if that's the direction that should be taken - but since 5-10% is genetic - I don't see a reason to get a mastectomy.

my raw vegan bread pudding recipe:
ingredients
* flaxseed
* water
* nuts - whole
- like walnut, hazelnut, pecan
- not - almond, cashew, coconut, brazil nut
* raisins
* opt - cinnamon
instructions
* blend lots of flaxseeds with water
- to form a goop
* opt - add a little more water
* place goop in bread pan
* mix nuts/raisins (opt - /cinnamon) in
* opt - add nuts - until no goop's left - to cover them
Do you measure anything? Or is it just the consistency you pay attention to?
@@themamabearlife3339 I don't measure anything I just make sure it looks nice and tastes great. It just doesn't work to measure out as it'll be different based on circumstance and that's something we can't account for.
Is that ground Flax seeds? Or whole seeds.
Yes she said 2 tbsp ground flax seeds.
Flax seeds must be ground. If you eat them| whole, they go right through your system and you don’t get the benefit.
Also, only ground your flaxseeds when you are going to eat them as ground flaxseed can go rancid
Ground Flaxseed Meal
can vitamin B12 prevent u from cancer😉. , how many percent is cut down
I love vegan lifestyle, but I gain so much weight every time I eat this way. I tried so many times,but gained around my waist so much fat
Are you eating processed vegan food? Because as soon as I started eating whole plants, the weight just melted off...
Good food is good for one’s health but keeping you from breast cancer is not correct , at least in my life
before the plant-based diet, my body was falling apart - and I felt like I was losing the integrity of my 6 year old body. Going vegan helped bring it back to that intact, strong level.
6 year old?😅
@@tisbutaname45 yes when you're born - it hasn't been exposed to external food, so it's intact with its integrity for a while. When I was a kid I ate mostly plants and didn't eat seafood. When I got older I ate foods that hurt my body. So going plant-based brought me back in time to before my body got messed up from the foods I ate.
@@extropiantranshuman yes! Forgive my misunderstanding - that makes perfect sense! Thank you for replying.
@@tisbutaname45 it was my bad for writing it ambiguously!
