Ep. 273: Dr. Kristi Funk and Chrissy Roth - Breast Cancer Prevention on a Plate

This week, we head into the kitchen for a flavorful cooking session with breast surgeon, Dr. Kristi Funk and Chrissy Roth!

In addition to whipping up creamy tofu ricotta and veggie-packed lasagna, Dr. Funk and Chrissy share eye-opening insights on diet and cancer risk—explaining the powerful role soy and other plant-based foods can play in disease prevention and healing.

They also celebrate the joy of cooking together, and how shared meals foster connection and encourage positive dietary changes with friends and loved ones.

From broth-sautéing techniques to sneaking extra veggies into meals, Chrissy and Kristi share tips to fight cancer with flavor!
