Why So Many “Healthy” 30-Something Women Are Getting Stage-4 Cancer—and What Your Labs Are Missing with Dr. Lori Bouchard

Biohacking with Brittany

Dr. Lori Bouchard, a naturopathic doctor focused on cancer care, shares why more women in their 30s–40s are being diagnosed at late stages - even when they “feel fine” - and exactly how to get ahead of it with annual baselines, smart labs (insulin, A1c, hs-CRP/ESR, homocysteine), detox strategies, fasting, stress regulation, and heat-based therapies.

If you’re a proactive, health-curious woman, especially a busy mom, who wants a clear, science-backed game plan to catch cancer risk early with smart labs, stress resets, detox, fasting, and sauna, this episode is your playbook.
