Do you have problems with lymphedema?

A few days ago, I shared some information about natural therapies for lymphedema after breast surgery.

Subsequent to sharing that, I received a few questions about which essential oils would be beneficial for lymphedema, so I decided to share my favorite massage oil recipe in today's article. I have also shared a very specific way of applying the oil.

I hope this helps someone out there today. The link to today's article is in the comments section below 👇

Ouchy!

I woke up with a very sore hip today, obviously I've put something out!

I was having my morning cup of mushroom tea - Reishi this time - and I decided to look and see if it had any pain relieving properties. Apparently it does!

In fact, the Mayo clinic is doing a clinical study right now, investigating whether reishi can be of assistance for the joint pain experienced by people on aromatase inhibitors.

That should be an interesting study.

I have attached a screenshot of the initial information about the study in the comments section below.

Have a great day!

From Dr Michael Greger over at NutritionFacts.org. This is interesting because on one hand, we are told that we need to have certain saturated fats for our brain health - they are good for us.

And now there's this research that shows we are better off limiting saturated fats (such as fatty meats, processed meats, full fat dairy, animal fats and certain plant based oils) for better breast cancer survival.

Knowing what to do and when to do it is incredibly important. That's how I can help you. Whether you choose a full hour of coaching, or a simple nutritional consultation, I can help you sort through the conflicting advice we continually come across.

Fiber Isn't Just About Going to the Bathroom 🥦

We often talk about fiber as though its main job is to keep you "regular."

That's important — but it's only part of the story.

Many types of dietary fiber become food for your gut microbes. When those microbes ferment certain fibers, they produce compounds such as short-chain fatty acids that help shape the intestinal environment.

And there's another fascinating connection:

Older human research found that women eating higher-fiber diets excreted more estrogen in their f***s, suggesting that fiber can influence the enterohepatic circulation of estrogen.

We now know that the gut microbiome is part of this picture too.

So when you're eating oats, beans, lentils, vegetables, berries, seeds and whole grains, you're not simply feeding yourself.

You're feeding an ecosystem.

And that ecosystem may have a role in how your body handles estrogen!

Lymphedema. 🥲

Hopefully you don't have it, but if you do...

What a pain it can be. As if going through breast cancer wasn't bad enough, now you have a swollen limb - or chest - or shoulder (sometimes all three). 🥹

You've probably tried quite a few things - maybe some things worked, maybe not.

In today's article, I offer some natural therapies you perhaps might not have thought about.

Let me know if you have any questions - or if you've done something that's not on the list and it worked for you! Please share.

Hello gorgeous people! My website is back up and operational again. Yay! It's going to be getting a brand-new look, but in the meantime, if you have been wondering whether all of these GMO foods in our food chain are creating problems for us, here is my article on genetically modified foods and breast cancer risk - in case you missed seeing it on Substack.

Hey there, if you are looking for part two of the article I shared yesterday about the estrobolome, please pay a physical visit to my FB page.

Because I linked to the article in my post and didn't put the link in the comments section (as I normally do) the bots have severely restricted who it's being shown to.

Pffffft. Silly bots.

So many of you read my article about the estrobolome yesterday - and I have to say, I wasn't expecting quite that much interest!

As of this evening, more than 21,000 people have read it. ❤️

And judging by the comments and messages I've received, there is one question that keeps coming up:

"Okay, Marnie... so what can I actually DO about my estrobolome?"

That's exactly what Part 2 is about - "Healing the Estrobolome: The Foods, Nutrients and Therapies Worth Knowing About"

In this article, we move from understanding the fascinating relationship between your gut, hormones, liver and immune system to the things you can actually do to support your gut.

I take you through my four-pronged approach:

✨ Calm — supporting the gut-brain connection and getting your nervous system out of chronic stress mode

✨ Move — restoring healthy intestinal motility and regular elimination

✨ Nourish — gradually introducing the right kinds of fiber to support your microbiome and healthy estrogen elimination

✨ Feed — giving your gut bacteria the diverse plant foods, polyphenols and fermented foods they need to thrive

I'll also talk about something I think is particularly important:

What do tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors have to do with your gut microbiome?

And we'll look at some of the supplements and natural compounds that researchers are investigating, including calcium-D-glucarate, I3C and DIM.

But here's what I don't want you to do...

I don't want you to suddenly start taking a dozen supplements, eating enormous amounts of fiber and worrying about every bite of food you put in your mouth.

Your gut is an ecosystem.

The goal isn't to force it into submission. The goal is to create an environment in which it can thrive. 🌱

And you don't have to change everything overnight.

Small, consistent changes can make a meaningful difference over time.

If you've been wondering whether there's anything you can actually do to support your gut, your hormones and your overall health after breast cancer, this is the place to start.

And if you haven't read Part 1 yet, I'd start there — it explains why this fascinating connection between your gut and estrogen matters in the first place.

There’s a fascinating conversation happening between your gut and your hormones.

You’ve probably heard plenty about the gut microbiome by now.

But have you heard of the estrobolome?

It’s a functional part of your gut microbiome that can influence how your body processes estrogen - and researchers are becoming increasingly interested in what this might mean for breast health.

The relationship between your gut, liver, hormones and immune system is far more interconnected than many of us realize.

And no, this doesn't mean you need to become afraid of every food, antibiotic or glass of w**e. ❤️

It means that understanding what is happening inside your body can give you a much clearer picture of the many factors that contribute to your overall health.

In my newest article, I explain:

* What the estrobolome actually is
* How your liver and gut work together to process estrogen
* What β-glucuronidase has to do with estrogen recycling
* Why researchers are investigating the gut–estrogen connection in breast cancer
* How ultra-processed foods, alcohol and antibiotics can affect the gut microbiome

And this is only Part 1.

In Part 2, we'll turn our attention to the things we can do to support a healthier, more resilient estrobolome — including foods, nutrients, lifestyle practices and natural therapies.

If you've ever wondered whether your gut health could have anything to do with your hormones and breast health, this is a fascinating place to start.

Fresh juice.

There is quite possibly nothing better.

This one is apple and ginger with mint from my garden.

So delicious. And so incredibly good for you. Full of wonderful things that tackle cancer cells, inflammation, cholesterol issues, so much!

It is the perfect way to start the day, as far as I'm concerned!
