Description

You’ve heard that certain foods can help lower your risk of cancer coming back — but why and what ones are the best?


Most supplements actually start from plants — sulforaphane from broccoli, polyphenols from berries, catechins from green tea — but when we isolate them into capsules, we lose the teamwork that makes food so powerful.


In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, Dr Megan Bernard, ND, shares how phytonutrients — the natural compounds plants create to protect themselves also protect you. She explains why whole-food synergy often outperforms isolated nutrients and highlights four foods proven to help reduce cancer and recurrence risk.


⚠️ This is a must-listen if:

• You’ve been told to “eat healthy” but aren’t sure what that means after cancer

• You rely on supplements and wonder if they’re enough

• You want to lower inflammation and balance hormones naturally

• You’re curious what the best diet is to block cancer


💊 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What phytonutrients are and how they block cancer-promoting pathways

• How whole foods can create stronger protection than single supplements

• The four powerhouse food groups every survivor should eat regularly

• How fiber supports detoxification, hormones, and gut health

• When supplements do make sense — and how to use them wisely


💡 You’ll leave this episode with:

  • A science-based understanding of why real food is your best daily defense

  • Confidence to simplify your plate — and still make it powerfully anti-cancer

  • Easy ways to turn everyday meals into tools for recovery and prevention
