- Elizabeth’s experience while battling breast cancer as a medical resident
- How cancer changed her mindset as a physician
- What functional medicine is
- Why balancing your body’s systems can improve overall wellness
- How exercise can boost your immune system
- What three things we should focus on at mealtime
