When you're recovering from breast cancer, you're bombarded with advice—some of it rooted in science, some of it based on personal stories. But how do you know what to trust? How do you separate what’s promising from what’s just popular?

In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to understand the evidence pyramid—from anecdotal stories to randomized controlled trials—and explain where therapies like the ketogenic diet, ozone therapy, sonodynamic therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and high-dose vitamin C fall in that landscape.

You’ll learn how to make informed, personalized decisions that honor both the science and your lived experience—so you can heal smarter, not harder.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

✅ The 5 levels of scientific evidence explained in simple, everyday language✅ The difference between the ketogenic diet and therapeutic ketosis✅ Where popular integrative therapies rank in terms of research✅ Why anecdotal evidence matters more than you might think✅ How to evaluate whether a therapy is right for your body and your terrain✅ A simple 3-question filter to help you make smart, aligned decisions✅ How to combine personal experience with medical research to build a whole-body healing plan
