Julia Bradbury Reaffirms Sobriety After All-Clear, Citing Recurrence Risk

The Countryfile presenter says a 2021 mastectomy triggered a wholesale shift in self-care.

Overview

  • Bradbury says she has been given the all-clear and still attends regular check-ups.
  • She states that drinking more than four units of alcohol a week would raise her recurrence risk by 28%, so she quit alcohol entirely.
  • She reports strong reactions on social media from people who fear her stance implies blame, which she rejects as a misreading of her personal experience.
  • Doctors previously flagged very high cortisol and warned about her relentless pace, prompting daily breathwork, meditation, outdoor time, exercise and journaling.
  • She says the diagnosis caused financial strain and a professional reset, and she now prioritises time with her three children.
