In this episode, we welcome Denise Ibsen Cole, a passionate advocate for women's health and hereditary cancer awareness. After discovering she carries the BRCA1 gene mutation—putting her at high risk for breast and ovarian cancers—Denise transformed her personal health journey into a mission to educate and empower others. As a board member of the Hereditary Cancer Foundation, a Policy Advocate volunteer for Facing Hereditary Cancer Empowered (FORCE), and founder of the 26.2 Step Mini Marathon, Denise shares her inspiring story of turning genetic risk into lifesaving advocacy.
Denise Ibsen Cole is a remarkable health advocate who chose proactive preventative surgeries at Nebraska Medicine after learning about her BRCA1 positive status. Since then, she has dedicated herself to raising awareness about hereditary cancer risks through presentations, interviews, and legislative testimony. Her work spans multiple organizations focused on hereditary cancer awareness and education.
