Deb Belfatto is a two-time breast cancer survivor, founder of Susan G. Komen North Jersey, founder of Let’s Talk Women’s Health and Wellness, and one of the most influential American community activists, and healthcare advocates for women’s health education in the country. She has helped raise more than $20 million for breast cancer research, education, screening, and community programs.

In today’s episode, Deb shares the life-changing lessons she learned after being diagnosed with breast cancer. She reveals the steps she took to save her life after being dismissed by a doctor and why every woman needs to become her own advocate in the healthcare system.

We discuss Deb's experience with breast cancer, the warning signs women should never ignore, how to navigate difficult medical diagnoses, when to seek second opinions, and why so many women are still being overlooked when it comes to preventive care, screening, and risk assessment.

You’ll also learn how to have more productive conversations with your healthcare providers, understand your personal cancer risk, access the right screenings, and make informed decisions about your long-term health before problems become emergencies.

Deb explains how she raised over $20 million for women's healthcare, why education can be life-saving, how women can take greater ownership of their health, and what healthcare professionals still get wrong when it comes to listening to women.

Join us today to learn how to advocate for yourself, recognize breast cancer red flags earlier, make better healthcare decisions, understand breast cancer risk, build a stronger support system, and take control of your health with confidence.
