You’re doing everything you can to stay healthy after cancer… but what if your standard labs aren’t telling the full story? In this episode, I’m breaking down the critical blood tests your oncologist probably isn’t running — but that can make a huge difference in your recovery and long-term health. ⚠️ This is a must-watch if: • You’ve finished cancer treatment and feel stuck with vague advice like “just eat healthy.” • You want a clearer picture of what’s really going on inside your body. • You’re ready to stop guessing and start using data to lower your recurrence risk. 🩸 We’ll cover the specific blood markers I use with clients inside our post-cancer program — including: 1. IGF-1 – Why too much of this growth factor can increase recurrence risk (and how to lower it) 2. Blood sugar + insulin – What your HOMA-IR tells you and why balanced glucose is way more than a diabetes issue 3. Cholesterol – How chemo and hormone therapy can affect your heart and what advanced markers to test 4. Inflammation markers – Like hsCRP, ferritin, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, and what they tell us about healing 5. Vitamin D – The actual levels to aim for when it comes to cancer support (hint: “normal” might not be optimal) 📊 When we have the right data, we can build a tailored food, supplement, and lifestyle plan to support your healing and help your body stay cancer-free. This isn’t guesswork. This is proactive, research-backed care — so you can stop living in fear and start living fully. 🌱 ✨ BEST FREE RESOURCES: • The Staying Cancer-Free Workshop: https://flourishaftercancer.com/WorkshopSignUp • My Blood Work Facts Handout: https://flourishaftercancer.com/BloodWorkHandout • How To Stay Cancer-Free: Tackling Cancer Stem Cells: https://flourishaftercancer.com/blog/how-to-stay-cancer-free-tacking-cancer-stem-cells • Tackling Cancer Prevention: The 6 Pillars of Defense: https://flourishaftercancer.com/blog/tackling-cancer-prevention-the-6-pillars-of-defense Let's Connect!
