If a family member or a close friend has been diagnosed, what are the chances you
or a loved one becomes diagnosed as well?
Well, the good news is that a major study that came out in the world-renowned
peer reviewed journal Nature states that upwards of 90% of cancer is related to
diet, lifestyle, and environment.
That means the majority of cancers can be prevented by optimizing your diet,
lifestyle, and environment.
In addition, through the great work of scientific pioneers like Bruce Lipton, world-
renowned cell biologist, the leading-edge science of epigenetics now tells us that
even if you have genes that are predisposed to cancer, you can modulate gene
activity.
Meaning you can prevent them from ever expressing into cancer by your thinking
and emotional state, diet, environment, and lifestyle.
...in this e-book, you’ll learn 5 scientifically backed practices and strategies you can
do daily to help prevent cancer from ever expressing in your body, helping you live
healthier, longer, and cancer-free.

Prevention Tip #1: Breathwork Meditation
If you’re concerned about getting cancer and want to lower the chances of getting
diagnosed, you can start doing breathwork meditation.
Breathwork meditation is an ancient practice that’s been gaining popularity for its
impressive health benefits.
Compared to the natural breathing that keeps our organs working and us alive,
doing breathwork meditation is more intentional.
It’s relaxing, it can help reduce stress and release anxiety, and if done regularly can
even help prevent cancer.

Transformational Breathwork
You see: cancer is an anaerobic disease, meaning it cannot survive with a high
concentration of oxygen.
Extended deep breathing also stimulates the energy flow between the mind and
body. This removes energy tensions and blockages that are held in the organs and
body’s soft tissue.
A study at the University of California, San Francisco called the Malignant Melanoma
Project showed that cancer patients who did transformational breathing lowered
the tumor’s mitotic rate, lessened the tumor’s thickness, and had greater lymphocyte
infiltration. 13
Similarly, staying relaxed and calm, with the help of transformational breathing,
has a direct connection to boosting immune health.
As you already know, a healthy immune system fights against and kills cancer cells.
This helps us live healthier, longer, and cancer-free.

If you want to prevent or protect yourself from cancer risk, you may want to try doing
transformational breathwork, or Holotropic Breathwork, under the guidance of an
accredited practitioner. This may include self-induced hyperventilation, evocative
music, and catharsis — often leading to what many refer to as a “therapeutic” crisis
that helps flush away negative feelings and energies leading to a deeper place of
healing mentally, emotionally and physically.
Overall, breathwork exercises are easy, fun, and beneficial ways to help you live
healthier.
For best results, you can do any of these breathwork exercises for 15-30 minutes a
day, both in the morning and evening consistently.
To learn more about energy healing, meditation, and breathwork science and
practices, make sure to attend the Conquering Cancer Summit, where we dive
deeply into these subjects with world-renowned experts.
Another way to help reduce your risk of cancer is through doing TRE or time-
restricted eating.
If you follow the latest dieting trends, you’ve been concerned about your diet lately,
you’ve probably heard about intermittent fasting.
Compared to other diets that limit your food choices, intermittent fasting limits
your time to eat so that you consume fewer calories, allowing your body to switch
its focus and energy from digestion to healing and repair, to help prevent cancer.
When you’re on TRE, you eat only within a specific number of hours each day. 14

What is 16/8 Fasting?
In a 2017 annual review of nutrition, animal research showed that 16/8 fasting
lowers the risk of fatty liver disease and cancer. 17
Surprisingly, a 2016 study of 2,413 breast cancer patients discovered that women
who did less than 13 hours of fasting were 36% more likely to get breast cancer
again compared to those who did more than 13 hours of fasting. 18
When you fast for 16 hours or longer, your body enters autophagy, which helps in
cancer prevention.

What is Autophagy?
Autophagy is derived from the Greek words
“auto”, meaning self, and “phagein”, meaning
eat. Together, the name translates to “eat the
self.”
Moreover, it helps stop the accumulation of toxins in the damaged cells, prevent
infected cells from gathering, kill cancer cells, and halt tumor development. 21 22
With autophagy, you can prevent cancer and heal the body.
To successfully start and increase autophagy, the body needs low liver glycogen.
You can make this happen if you practice 16-hour fasting consistently. 23

How Can You Do 16/8 Fasting?
To start TRE such as 16/8 fasting, you can follow the steps below.
To get the full benefits of TRE to help prevent cancer, it’s important you eat
plant-based, whole, organic, and nutrient-dense foods. Some of the best
are the G-BOMBS are outlined by one of our world-renowned medical
doctors and nutritional experts, Dr. Joel Fuhrman, in the Conquering
Cancer Summit.
G-BOMBS stands for Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries, and Seeds.
They also keep the body armed and ready to fight any precancerous or
cancerous cells that may attack the body.

Below is a list of healthy foods you want to add to your diet during your
8-hour eating window.
To make your diet healthier and more appetizing, you can prepare any of
the 31 anti-cancer foods from the Anti-Cancer Recipe e-book available as
part of the Conquering Cancer Summit.
You can also learn more recipes and other natural and healthy anti-cancer
practices during the Conquering Cancer Summit. Make sure you reserve
your spot to learn how these foods can help you prevent and heal cancer.
10
3 For best results, start with 12 hours of fasting first, then over the course of
the next 2-3 weeks work up to 16 hours of fasting.
Start your TRE window at 8 pm and eat your first meal at 8 am the
following day when beginning with 12 hours.
After your body has adjusted, you can fast for 14 hours, then finally
work up to 16 hours.
Most people start their fasting from 8 pm until 12 noon the next day.
It’s best to stop eating 3 hours before you go to bed to allow the stomach
to properly digest your food before going to sleep, allowing your body
even deeper healing while you sleep.
You can start once or twice a week and work up to doing it every day.
The more frequently you fast, the better it can help start autophagy,
which is important in preventing cancer.

Prevention Tip #3: Green Vegetable Juicing
There are 2 types of beverages you can prepare using green vegetables: juice and
smoothies.
Both juice and smoothies are excellent ways to add cancer-fighting green vegetables
to your diet.
The question is, which of the two provides more promising benefits in preventing
cancer?
Juicing or smoothies?
Green vegetable juicing, also known as cleansing, extracts juice from the pulp of
green vegetables and herbs. You can also mix in some fruits — like berries, apples,
and kiwis — to make your vegetable juice taste better and to benefit from the
vitamins, phytonutrients, and antioxidants found in fruits and berries.
Compared to blending, green juicing isolates the liquid of the produce from the
fibrous portions. This leaves only the essential nutrients, phytochemicals, and
vitamins the body needs after fasting.
While fiber is important to a healthy digestive system, removing the fiber in a single
glass of green juice makes it easier for the body to absorb and digest nutrients and
vitamins quickly.
On the other hand, when you drink a smoothie, you need to consume more blended
vegetables to get the same amount of nutrients as in a single glass of green juice.
While smoothies are fantastic, eating fresh whole foods is even better.
Between juicing and smoothies, juicing replenishes valuable nutrients in your body
right after you fast.
12
In addition, juicing minimizes cancer risk by boosting your immune system,
removing toxins from your body, and aiding in digestion to help you lose weight.
To prepare your green juice and make it taste better, here is a healthy recipe you
can try:
2 1/3 leafy greens that are not cruciferous, like dark green lettuce and
baby greens, spring mix, sprouts, cucumber, or celery (3 ounces)

Adding beets and carrots to your juice not only improves its taste but also increases
your immunity to cancer.
The red pigment in beets called betacyanin reduces inflammation and protects
your body against the development of cancerous cells. 27
They’re also high in vitamins and phytochemicals, which help prevent cancers of
the mouth, esophagus, and stomach. 28
So, to stay healthy and protect yourself against cancer, reward yourself with a glass
of green juice every morning after your TRE fasting.
Another way of keeping yourself protected from cancer risk is by eating mushrooms.

They also contain aromatase inhibitors, which are largely responsible for lowering
estrogen levels in postmenopausal women for breast cancer prevention.

Sauteing
Sauteing is probably the simplest way to prepare mushrooms. If you’re unsure
what to do with a mushroom, saute it in water or a tiny amount of organic olive or
coconut oil and add a pinch of sea salt and pepper.

Roasting
Mushrooms can also be roasted. To make chewy yet crispy mushrooms, toss bite-
sized mushrooms with olive oil, salt and pepper, and any herbs or seasonings and
roast for 15 minutes.
Steaming
You can also steam your mushroom. Toss them in a green sauce such as pesto and
add some herbs and spices to make the dish more appetizing.
You should avoid frying and boiling your mushrooms, as this results in the loss of
antioxidant compounds in the mushrooms.
Start adding 2 small mushrooms per day to your diet to lower your cancer risk.

150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 to 100
1 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity, or an equivalent combination of
the two each week.
Simply move your body for at least 30 minutes each day and you’re much more
likely to stay healthy and safe from cancer risk.
You can simply follow the schedule below or do something similar to start your
medicinal movement:
4 Sunday: Rest
When you move the body the way it was designed to move, many natural healthy
processes take place, including the pumping and flushing of the lymphatic system.

What is the Lymphatic System?
The lymphatic system is a major component of the immune system.
The lymphatic system helps remove waste from the body such as toxins, abnormal
cells, and cancer cells.
If you don’t contract your muscles daily, your lymphatic system will be overburdened
by toxins and abnormal cells, which can eventually lead to chronic diseases like
cancer.
Therefore, keeping yourself active daily will help prevent cancer in the long run.
If you want to minimize the risk of being diagnosed with cancer, you can start
by practicing healthy habits like breathwork meditation, time-restricted eating,
juicing, adding mushrooms to your diet, and implementing a medicinal movement
routine.
