I am so delighted for our next guest because this is a conversation that is so important, and it is not only important for the breast cancer population; it is important for everyone. If we knew about this conversation and this topic before, so many people would not even be in the position that they are in terms of breast cancer. Today we are talking with Cynthia Thurlow. She is a nurse practitioner. She is a celebrated author, the author of Intermittent Fasting Transformation. She is a viral TEDx talker. I think she gave TED talks in 2018 and 2019 that went viral, and her focus on intermittent fasting is to drive health and find hormone balance. 

We know that in the area of cancer, we certainly have an epidemic of obesity in this country. Unfortunately, countries around the world that start to live like Americans, are starting to have an obesity crisis themselves. Obesity is so strongly tied to breast cancer that there is almost a direct relationship. I could not think of a better person to have on here to talk about that relationship, what is happening, and what is happening physiologically in our bodies that is leading us to these pro-inflammatory states. I want to dive down into what insulin is and where that plays a role. Cynthia, welcome. I am so happy to have you.
