Your Health, Your Story

​

Yes, individuals in the holistic health industry are not immune to cancer. An owner of a holistic hair salon, Amber Lesse, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021, notes that the wellness industry's focus on optimizing health can sometimes exclude those who are experiencing illness. That while certain lifestyle choices can reduce cancer risk, genetics also play a role in a small percentage of cases. 

While many in the holistic health field promote practices that can support overall well-being, these practices don't necessarily prevent cancer. Cancer development is a complex process influenced by various factors, including genetics, environmental exposures, and lifestyle choices. 

​

• Genetics: Approximately 10% of cancer cases are linked to inherited genetic factors. 

• Environmental factors: Exposure to carcinogens and radiation can also increase cancer risk. 

• Lifestyle choices: Factors like smoking, diet, weight, alcohol consumption, and sun exposure

• influence cancer risk. 

• Complementary therapies: While some complementary and integrative therapies, like acupuncture

• and meditation, can be helpful in managing side effects and improving quality of life during cancer

• treatment, they are not a substitute for conventional medical care. 

• Holistic approach to cancer care: The Cancer Support Community emphasizes a coordinated approach

• that combines conventional cancer care with complementary therapies, like acupuncture, to minimize

• side effects and support well-being. 

• Importance of regular checkups: Regular medical checkups and screenings are crucial for

• early detection and diagnosis of cancer.
