A recent new survey from Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine shows many women are unaware of key risk factors for breast cancer. The group promotes a four-pronged approach endorsed by the American Medical Association: eat a whole food, plant-based diet, exercise regularly, limit alcohol and maintain a healthy weight, along with regular screenings and appropriate medical care.

This strategy is at the heart of the Let’s Beat Breast Cancer campaign, with rallies across the country - including this month in DC and Maryland – with health care professionals and survivors sharing stories, fitness classes, healthy food and prevention tips and more.

To talk with us about the survey and we’re joined by Board-Certified Breast Cancer Surgeon, Dr. Kristi Funk, MD, and to tell us about her story, breast cancer survivor Nikia Lightfoot.
