Publisher's summary

Most women don't want to hear about breast cancer unless they have it and need to make some decisions, but these days news about breast cancer - the number one killer of women ages 20 to 59 - is everywhere. Hope for a cure abounds. Celebrities have come forward to share their experiences and raise awareness. Chances are you know someone who has had it.

But did you know that you make choices every day that bring you closer to breast cancer - or move you farther away? That in the majority of cases, cancer isn't up to fate, and there are ways to reduce your risk factors? That many of the things you've heard regarding the causes of breast cancer are flat-out false?

There have been few solid guidelines on how to improve your breast health, lower your risk of getting cancer, optimize your outcomes if you're faced with a diagnosis, and make informed medical choices after treatment. Until now.

"Dr. Funk writes Breasts: The Owner’s Manual just like she talks: with conviction, passion, and a laser focus on you." (Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of The Dr. Oz Show)

Breasts: The Owner’s Manual will become an indispensable and valued guide for women looking to optimize health and minimize breast illness.” (Debu Tripathy, MD, Professor and Chair, Department of Breast Medical Oncology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center)

Breasts: The Owner’s Manual not only provides a clear path to breast health, but a road that leads straight to your healthiest self. As someone who has faced breast cancer, I suggest you follow it." (Robin Roberts, co-anchor, Good Morning America)

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Very good book

Especially as a recently diagnosed patient. The narrator is a little breathy sometimes but enthusiastic which keeps it rolling. Take notes, bookmark, highlight because there is plenty that will speak to you within these writings.

Wish I had and knew of all this before

This book has really helped me learned more of my new me. Having be diagnosed with breast cancer one year ago, would go yearly for my mammogram went in thinking ohh well here I go again to get my boobs squezed for my yearly test. Test came back positive on one breast, next I was told there was more, ending up having a DMX ending with radiation. This has been overwhelmingly dramatic for me not knowing how and why this happened. Reading this book i learned a lot and even things I wish I knew before. Today being cancer free I am thankful but more thankful for this book the news and reassurance to know I am not in this alone brings great relief. Ladies we are not to assume it wont happen to us but we can take care it doesnt and if you read this book you will learn. Pink Sisters we love you all. Thank you Dr. Kristi Funk

A powerhouse of information that's presented in an engaging way.

The most informative book I've found on breast cancer & breast health.
Kristi has a way of putting a fun & humorous twist on science facts & heavy information that keeps you engaged.
I bought this book because I've seen her present & she's awesome. This narrator does a good job of emulating her style.

Thank you - from a survivor

This book made this control freak feel like I have some control over my diagnosis. I have always understood the value of whole food, plant based eating, but this went a step further - explaining super foods specifically to reduce initial diagnosis or recurrence. THANK YOU!!

Great info but the Narrator mispronouncing many words and being intensely chipper is annoying.

The book is very informative. I ordered the physical copy so I could easily look up info anytime I want. It’s much easier than using book’s PDF.
