I'm Still Here: Real Conversations About Living with Metastatic Breast Cancer28 Jan

Episode 263: Eat This, Not That — 2026 Edition (Revised)

Eat This, Not That — 2026 Edition

What do I actually eat — and how do I think about food now?

In this episode, Heather shares her Eat This, Not That — 2026 Edition, responding to one of the most common questions she gets. This is not about food rules, trends, or government guidelines — it’s about real food, real life, and what helps her feel steady and energized while living with metastatic breast cancer.

In this conversation, Heather talks about:

Why she doesn’t follow nutrition rules (even when new guidelines come out)
The simple framework she uses instead: protein, fiber, and variety
Eating real food, mostly plants — without rigidity
Consistency over optimization
Using ideas like “30 plants a week” as a gentle nudge, not a mandate
Letting food support your life — not become another thing to manage

This episode is honest, practical, and grounded in lived experience — not extremes.

Need a quick reset when life feels overwhelming?
Heather’s 15-minute guide, Break the Cancer Spiral, helps you steady your mindset anytime things start to spin.
