First diagnosed with breast cancer at 29, Toral Shah has battled the disease twice, helped her mum through her battle with it, and started her own consultancy, The Urban Kitchen, to help people change their lifestyle and diet to help prevent disease. She talks about how sharing our experiences and community-specific education are pivotal to challenging taboos about health in south Asian communities, how she is working in public policy to inform and improve health outcomes for BAME individuals, how a holistic approach, combining mental, physical and social health is the future of healthcare and how you can perform a lifesaving breast check on yourself each month.
