Eat This, Not That — 2026 Edition What do I actually eat — and how do I think about food now? In this episode, Heather shares her Eat This, Not That — 2026 Edition, responding to one of the most common questions she gets. This is not about food rules, trends, or government guidelines — it’s about real food, real life, and what helps her feel steady and energized while living with metastatic breast cancer. In this conversation, Heather talks about: • Why she doesn’t follow nutrition rules (even when new guidelines come out) • The simple framework she uses instead: protein, fiber, and variety • Eating real food, mostly plants — without rigidity • Consistency over optimization • Using ideas like “30 plants a week” as a gentle nudge, not a mandate • Letting food support your life — not become another thing to manage This episode is honest, practical, and grounded in lived experience — not extremes. Need a quick reset when life feels overwhelming? Heather’s 15-minute guide, Break the Cancer Spiral, helps you steady your mindset anytime things start to spin. 👉 Get Break the Cancer Spiral and explore all of Heather’s guides here: https://shop.heatherjose.com/stop-the-cancer-spiral 🎧 About the Podcast I’m Still Here: Lessons from Life with Metastatic Breast Cancer is hosted by Heather Jose.
