October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
How can naturopathic medicine support you? No matter where you are on your breast cancer journey, from prevention to survivorship and everything in between, naturopathic medicine can be a useful integrative tool to support your health through:
Evidence-based dietary recommendations for cancer prevention, during cancer treatments, and to reduce risk of recurrence
Assessment of risk factors for breast cancer and recommendations to eliminate or reduce the impact of these factors on your health
Stress reduction supports, including lifestyle recommendations, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and botanical/nutritional supports
Laboratory testing and monitoring of important lab values
Education and advocacy - naturopathic doctors (NDs) take the time to provide education and resources to patients, and can help to bridge a relationship between your conventional care team and your naturopathic team
Support during conventional care - evidence-based naturopathic recommendations to help safely manage side effects and maintain optimal health during conventional treatments - your ND is knowledgeable on interactions between conventional agents and natural supports
