Best Ever You Interview with Giuliana Rancic
Were you always passionate about healthy living or did your breast cancer diagnosis ignite a new passion in you?
Giuliana: I have always lived a healthy lifestyle, but once I was diagnosed with breast cancer I was more lenient with my diet and exercise. Rather than being so caught up on eating healthy and working out, I splurge much more than I used to. I still live a healthy lifestyle. Instead of going to the gym 5 times a week I go maybe 1 or 2. I still take care of myself and I still live a healthy lifestyle, but I realize now Life is short and life is precious. I can’t think about the gym every day. I have to be with my husband or my baby because nothing is scarier than thinking you’re going to lose them. Life is better now.
What need do you think CureDiva will fill for breast cancer patients and survivors?
Giuliana: When I heard about CureDiva, I was surprised it hadn’t been created sooner and wondered why I didn’t have this when I was going through breast cancer. Going through treatments, it’s so hard to know what products you need and where to go. The great thing about CureDiva is that it specifies to your needs and helps you based on what you’re going through at each phase. Now because of CureDiva, women have a more accessible support system, and can still feel like a diva through their treatments. I wish CureDiva was around when I was going through it all.
Other than fitness, are there are other wellness practices you swear by for staying healthy?
Giuliana: Besides fitness, having a positive attitude and eating well can help you stay healthy. After undergoing breast cancer treatments, there is always that slight fear that it might come back. For the first couple of times I went in for blood work, I was convinced I was going to get bad news. The only thing that takes that away is time. When you finally get over that fear, you live a full healthy life.
How is your life different now, than before you were diagnosed?
Giuliana: Rather than being so caught up on eating healthy and working out, I splurge much more than I used to. I still live a healthy lifestyle. Instead of going to the gym 5 times a week I go maybe 1 or 2. I still take care of myself and I still live a healthy lifestyle, but I realize now Life is short and life is precious. I can’t think about the gym every day. I have to be with my husband or my baby because nothing is scarier than thinking you’re going to lose them. Life is better now.
Knowing all that you do now as an advocate for the cause, is there any particular thing you recommend all women do as a preventative measure?
Giuliana: You have to care about yourself and be proactive about your health. I encourage everyone to share your story because helping someone else is an amazing feeling. CureDiva is a great resource to talk to others going through the same experiences and get great advice.
