Getting Serious About Breast Cancer

Join Dr. Kristi Funk to learn about how animal-based foods, plant-derived antioxidants, obesity, and exercise exert dramatic effects on your cancer-kicking capacity. Only 5-10% of all breast cancer comes from an inherited gene mutation. Up to 90% of cancer results from the dietary and lifestyle choices we make every single day—not genetics.

Participants are expected to watch the video, reflect on its content, and complete the CEU self-assessment and CEU evaluation. Only upon completing this process will a participant's continuing education certificate be generated. The estimated time a learner will need to complete this self-study activity is 45 minutes. 

This activity is approved for continuing education for physicians, nurses, and dietitians. 

The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences designates this enduring activity for a maximum of 0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. 

Objectives: 

• Explain two mechanisms by which consuming animal products can increase breast cancer incidence.
• Name two plant-based foods and explain how they can decrease breast cancer incidence.
• Give two reasons why excess body fat elevates postmenopausal breast cancer risk. 

Requirements for successful completion: Participants will be awarded contact hours commensurate with participation after completion of the post-test with a score of 70% or higher.
