Life after breast cancer: An interview with Nic Bathurst, dietitian and nutritionist specializing in mid-life women’s health

Vegan Family Kitchen

Nic Bathurst, a dietitian and nutritionist, and mom of four kids, thought of herself as a healthy and fit person with good habits. Then, at age 48 she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent a mastectomy and started digging into the literature about breast cancer. What she found out was not what she had learned in school.

That was 10 years ago, and she has turned her life around since, in addition to changing the way she works with her clients. I had the pleasure of sitting with her for a conversation about:

• How menopause doesn't have to make us victims of our hormones
• Whether or not we should worry about protein
• The place of alcohol in a healthy lifestyle
• How industry finds the right "bliss point" to hook us to foods we'd probably be better off without
• Small experiments we can try to see if our life improves
• And more!

Nic is a dietitian and nutritionist of over 30 years. She has been a passionate plant advocate since she got breast cancer in 2013 and discovered the health and weight loss benefits of a diet powered by plants. She now specializes in helping women navigate their mid-life hormones, release unwanted weight, and optimize their health by eating more plants.

I encourage you to connect with Nic Bathurst on her website Naturally Nic and to watch her videos on YouTube.
