Episode 23: Dietitian and Coach for Breast Cancer Survivors

Food and what to eat after a breast cancer diagnosis is our topic on this episode of the DiepCJourney podcast.

About 80% of all breast cancers are ER positive. This means the breast cancer cells grow in response to the hormone estrogen. With so much information about what to eat, what not to eat, how much to eat, food can become a topic that triggers anxiety and confusion.

My guest today is Cathy Leman. She is a registered dietitian, nutrition therapist, and certified personal trainer. Most women diagnosed with hormone-positive breast cancer feel anxious and confused about food, especially after they finish treatment. She is also a survivor of hormone-positive breast cancer, and founder of the Peaceful Plate program. The Peaceful Plate program teaches how food supports survivorship health and well-being, and coaches women on ending food fear so they eat with peace, not panic. When you eat with peace, you enjoy your food.

Cathy also writes the dam. mad. About BREAST CANCER blog.

Having concerns is not exclusive to those who have had hormone positive breast cancer. It revolves around all types of breast cancer and Cathy has room for coaching in all types of breast cancer.

Cathy’s mantra, “When you eat for your breast health you eat for your overall best health!”
