129. Can Plant Extracts Target Cancer Cells?

If you've ever wondered why tumors can shrink but cancer still comes back years later, or why inflammation, gut health, and detoxification matter more than most people realize, this episode will shift how you think about cancer at its root.

In this conversation, I explore groundbreaking research on breast cancer stem cells, metastasis, and how specific plant extracts can selectively target cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. We talk about why conventional treatments often miss the most aggressive cells, and how supporting the body's biology may play a role in reducing recurrence.

We also connect the dots between chronic stress, inflammation, environmental toxins, gut health, and immune resilience—factors that are especially important for women navigating perimenopause, menopause, fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and hormone imbalance.

What You'll Hear in This Episode

• Why breast cancer stem cells are believed to drive metastasis and recurrence
• How certain plant extracts can distinguish cancer cells from healthy cells
• The role of inflammation, detoxification, and environmental stress in cancer progression
• Why an integrated approach matters—even alongside conventional treatment

This episode is about understanding the what and the why behind cancer—not fear, not hype, and not false promises. It's about knowledge, empowerment, and looking deeper than symptoms alone.

If you're interested in prevention, long-term resilience, or understanding how gut health, inflammation, and the immune system influence cancer risk, this conversation is one you won't want to miss.
