#325 - What Your Doctor Won’t Tell You About Cancer, Hormones & Healing with Dr Leigh Erin Connealy
I’ve been trying to get Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy on the podcast since last year—and after moving countries twice (and totally butchering her name 🤣 as us Aussies do), we finally made it happen. It was worth the wait!Dr. Connealy is an absolute powerhouse when it comes to treating cancer, hormonal imbalances, and chronic illness with a root cause approach. She doesn’t just throw meds at symptoms—she looks at what’s actually driving disease and helps people heal from the inside out. This episode hit extra close to home for me because my sister recently went through breast cancer. And honestly, I wish more people had access to the kind of information Dr. Connealy shares, because it’s not just for people with cancer—it’s for everyone. 🔥 In this episode, we dive into: ✔️ How the way you’ve lived your life up until now affects your health ✔️ Why real food—organ meats, dairy, fruit, root vegetables—is one of the keys to healing and thriving ✔️ The biggest lies we’ve been told about birth control, HRT, and cancer treatment ✔️ Why we need to stop fearing the sun and start getting daily exposure ✔️ How modern living—EMFs, pollution, and toxic chemicals—are affecting our health and what we can do about it ✔️ The real reason so many women struggle in perimenopause and menopause It’s a wake-up call and an empowering message rolled into one. You are not broken. You don’t need a magic pill. But you do need to take radical responsibility for your health. This episode is one of the most important conversations I’ve had on the podcast—so go listen, share it with every woman you know, and let’s take our health back.
