Dancing with the Stars TV Host, Author and Certified Health Coach, Samantha Harris joins on episode 47 of the Practically Healthy podcast to share the story of her breast cancer diagnosis at age forty and how to proactively take control of your health for a longer, cleaner, happier life.
Samantha gets personal and shares her incredible story of self advocacy in continuing to seek answers about the lump in her breast despite a series of clear medical check ups. Dr. Melina applauds her persistence and reminds listeners that we must advocate for our own health. Unlike 5-10% of breast cancer cases, Samantha reveals that her cancer was not hereditary and therefore was likely caused by her lifestyle.
Dr. Melina introduces the listener to epigenetics- how our behaviors and lifestyle “turn on” and “turn off” certain genes- which can be influenced heavily by what we eat, stress levels, exercise, sleep quality and more. Samantha shares the many ways in which she- and the listener- can live a longer, cleaner, less stressful life. Tune in to hear her simple and practical tips to help maximize health, energy and happiness in this inspiring and informative episode!
