Sixteen years after being diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, Anna Sabatino looks back on the decisions that changed the course of her life—not just during treatment, but in the years that followed.
In this episode of Metabolic Matters, host Christina Mason sits down with Anna and her physician, Dr. Linda Isaacs, to explore a journey that began with fear, uncertainty, and a determination to become an active participant in her own care. Anna shares her experience navigating conventional cancer treatment before seeking a more comprehensive approach to her long-term health, eventually becoming a patient of the late Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez. Together, Anna and Dr. Isaacs discuss integrative cancer care, nutrition, patient advocacy, stress and the nervous system, and the daily practices that have become part of Anna’s life. It’s a conversation about slowing down after a diagnosis, asking questions, finding practitioners who will partner with you, and Anna’s belief that healing became less about returning to the life she had before cancer and more about creating a different one.
