Summary

At 30 years old, Dr. Elizabeth Boham received a surprising diagnosis: triple-negative breast cancer. Twenty three years later, she looks back on how that brush with an aggressive disease shaped her beliefs about nutrition, healing, and functional medicine. In this episode, Dr. Boham shares how your internal terrain can either be friendly or unfriendly to growing cancer cells — and how to create an inner environment that prevents cancer and other common diseases.
