Unlocking Breast Cancer Resilience: The ...

Dave Asprey
About this episode

Every 13 minutes, a woman dies of breast cancer. And this unnecessary epidemic affects men, too. Today, you’ll hear a fascinating interview with a woman on a mission to empower people to do more than just survive breast cancer, but become radiantly healthy; Dr. Toni Galardi. 

She's not only a holistic psychotherapist with a PhD in psychology, but a remarkable individual who cured herself of breast cancer. Dr. Galardi is a prolific author with three books under her belt, including her latest one titled BreastQuake: 10 Steps to Awakening from Breast Cancer. In this episode, we delve deep into the esoteric realm of breast cancer; discussing alternative methods for treatment, lowering the risk of breast cancer, and exploring groundbreaking studies that shed light on the incredible healing potential of consciousness within the body. 

You see, it's essential to understand that psychology plays a crucial role in the context of cancer. While psychology doesn't cause cancer, ignoring the mind-body connection in the conversation is a missed opportunity. Our bodies possess a remarkable intelligence, residing within our mitochondria, and a distributed consciousness that affects our well-being. So, even if you don't have breasts or breast cancer isn't on your radar, this conversation offers profound insights into psychology's impact on health and wellness.

Dr. Toni Galardi is deeply passionate about helping women navigate their cancer treatment plans, emphasizing the importance of aligning with one's passions, as she believes that passion holds significant healing potential. Throughout this episode, you'll learn about Dr. Galardi’s personal journey with breast cancer, the eye-opening studies she uncovered regarding the high cost of treatment, her recommendations for more affordable (and even free) healing tools, and her unique approach to harmonizing the energetic and emotional aspects of the human experience to combat cancer and reduce your risk. 

I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Dr. Toni Galardi for her courage in authoring this groundbreaking book and fearlessly addressing topics that some may question. She calls it as she sees it, and that's precisely why her insights are so valuable.
