#316 Empowering Breast Cancer Survivors - Unveiling the Role of Scent Awareness in Metabolic Health

Today’s episode is a special one for my fellow breast cancer survivors. We’re going to explore the world of mitochondrial health, and the impact of synthetic fragrances, and discover how natural essential oils can support our metabolic health.  Our focus begins with the mighty mitochondria, these tiny organelles are crucial for energy production, and we discuss how their health is vital, especially for breast cancer survivors.   Then, we shift gears to discuss the hidden impact of synthetic fragrances. While these fragrances may seem harmless, they can have unseen effects on our health, particularly on our sensitive mitochondrial function. I share insights into how these synthetic elements can disrupt our body's natural processes and why being mindful of what we inhale is as important as what we eat or drink.  We explore how natural fragrances not only uplift our spirits but also provide health benefits. From their mood-enhancing properties to respiratory benefits.  If you’re a breast cancer survivor or someone interested in holistic well-being, this is your invitation to learn, grow, and thrive. Let's embrace the natural solutions that surround us and use them to fuel our journey towards optimal metabolic health.    Referred to in this episode:  Better Than Before Breast Cancer™ Life Coaching Membership  The Terrain Ten Online Assessment  #27 Breast Cancer recovery and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity  The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach Dr. Nasha Approved Shop  Book: Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine: The Key to Understanding Disease, Chronic Illness, Aging, and Life Itself  Video: Mitochondria video - Khan Academy  Studies:  DEHP-induced mitophagy and mitochondrial damage in the heart are associated with dysregulated mitochondrial biogenesis  Mitochondria as target of endocrine-disrupting chemicals: Implications for type 2 diabetes  Articles:  21 Benefits of Using an Essential Oil Diffuser in your Home  The Benefits of Using Essential Oils in Your Home Fragrances  Follow me on Social Media:  Facebook  Instagram  Pinterest  YouTube
