The author of "Breasts: The Owner's Manual" joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to kick off the month-long Let's Beat Breast Cancer podcast series that will bring that same hope and inspiration to thousands of others around the world.
Dr. Funk, who has worked with Academy Award winning actress Angelina Jolie and Grammy Award winning singer Sheryl Crow, will shatter myths surrounding breast cancer and shed new light on the disease:

Dr. Funk is spearing heading the Physicians Committee's Let's Beat Breast Cancer campaign and leading the charge for the four-pronged approach to fighting back against a disease that one out of eight women will be diagnosed with in their lifetime.
- Choosing plant-based foods
- Exercise
- Limit alcohol consumption
- Work toward and maintaining a healthy weight
