Breast Cancer at 30: Combining Chemotherapy & Holistic Treatment | An Integrative Approach with Katie Wallwork

This week we're joined by our friend and manager, Katie Wallwork, as she shares her deeply personal journey of being diagnosed with breast cancer at just 30 years old.

From discovering a lump while fastening her seatbelt to navigating appointments, seeking second opinions and rebuilding her health, Katie opens up about one of the most challenging seasons of her life.

Together, we explore what happens after a diagnosis, the importance of advocating for yourself, and why she chose to combine conventional treatment with a holistic approach that supported both her body and mind. Katie also shares the daily practices, research and mindset shifts that helped her navigate treatment, alongside honest conversations about environmental health, inflammation, mould exposure, supplements, nutrition and taking an active role in your own wellbeing.
