Kristi Funk Books

A revolutionary and definitive new approach to preventing breast cancer, from Board-certified world authority on breast health Dr. Kristi Funk, co-founder of the renowned Pink Lotus Breast Centre, and surgeon to Angelina Jolie and Sheryl Crow. Breasts: An Owner's Manual is a straight-talking, myth and misconception-busting, strategy-filled guide to breast health. Sharing the latest on lifestyle choices that impact your risk factor including food, supplements, hormones and exercise, Dr. Funk demonstrates that you are so much more in control of whether or not you get breast cancer than you could ever dare to think. In fact, unless you carry a genetic mutation associated with breast cancer, the choices you make in your-day-to-day life trumps genetics and family history when it comes to breast cancer risk, every time. Including a unique long-term risk reduction plan for every woman based on her needs, as well as the latest on diagnosis and treatment for women living with and surviving breast cancer, and with a heartfelt Foreword from longtime patient Sheryl Crow, this is a book with a life-saving message for the 1 in 8 women, at the time of writing, who are set to be diagnosed in their lifetime.

National Bestseller. Most women avoid discussions about breast cancer until it directly affects them, yet it remains the leading cause of death for women aged twenty to fifty-nine. Awareness is growing, with celebrities sharing their stories and encouraging dialogue. You likely know someone impacted by this disease, but did you realize that your daily choices can influence your risk? In many cases, cancer isn't simply a matter of fate; there are actionable steps to reduce risk factors. Many common beliefs about breast cancer causes are misleading. Until now, clear guidelines on improving breast health and making informed medical decisions have been scarce. Dr. Funk presents essential information with conviction and a focus on empowering women. This guide will be invaluable for those seeking to enhance their health and minimize the risk of breast illness. It not only charts a course for better breast health but also leads you toward your overall well-being. As a breast cancer survivor, I highly recommend following this path.
