Tina’s Incredible Health Journey
Tina Knowles Fighting Breast Cancer with Courage
In April 2025, Tina Knowles shared some very personal news in her memoir “Matriarch.” She revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to have surgery to treat it. This was a scary time for Tina and her family, but she faced it with incredible strength.
The most important lesson Tina learned? Never skip your mammogram appointments.
“We can catch cancer at stage 1 or even stage 0,” Tina explained. “I didn’t know there was a stage 0. I could have caught this at stage 0 if I had not missed my mammogram, but I did because of COVID.”
According to medical experts, regular mammograms can detect breast cancer early when it’s most treatable. Women should get mammograms every 1-2 years starting at age 40, or earlier if they have a family history of breast cancer.
Tina’s daughters, Beyoncé and Solange, supported their mom through this difficult time. Beyoncé stayed positive and focused, while Solange told her mom, “We are going to take care of this.” Their love and support helped Tina stay strong during treatment.
Today, Tina says she feels healthier than ever. “After the surgery, I feel like I’m the healthiest I’ve been in a long time because I’m very focused on what I eat and taking care of myself,” she shared.
Her Amazing 18-Pound Weight Loss
Beyond beating cancer, Tina Knowles also went through an inspiring weight loss journey. She lost 18 pounds by making simple but powerful changes to her daily habits. What’s amazing is that Tina didn’t do this to look a certain way—she did it to feel better and live healthier.
Studies show that losing just 5-10% of your body weight can significantly improve your health, reducing risks for heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. For Tina, losing 18 pounds represented positive changes for her long-term wellness.
“It wasn’t about looking a certain way,” Tina said. “It was about feeling better. I wanted to feel more energetic, be healthier, and show my children that age doesn’t define your ability to change.”
How Tina Stays Fit and Healthy
Her Exercise Routine
Tina Knowles doesn’t spend hours at the gym, but she stays active and consistent. She works out at home with help from fitness trainers Patrick Goudeau and Jeanette Jenkins. Her workouts include:
- Push-ups to build upper body strength
- Ankle weights for leg exercises
- Resistance bands (she calls them “damn rubber bands on my legs!”)
- Walking to stay active throughout the day
- Yoga and stretching for flexibility and relaxation
What’s important is that Tina makes exercise fun and doesn’t push herself too hard. She focuses on movements that make her feel good and keep her body strong.
Her Healthy Eating Habits
Tina doesn’t follow strict diets or starve herself. Instead, she eats balanced meals with lots of healthy foods. Her approach to eating includes:
- Whole foods like fresh fruits and vegetables
- Lean proteins to build muscle and stay strong
- Portion control – eating the right amount, not too much or too little
- Mindful eating – paying attention to what and how much she eats
- Balance – she allows herself to enjoy treats sometimes
“I eat what I want, but I pay attention to the quality and the portion sizes. It’s all about balance,” Tina explained.
At family gatherings, you might see Tina enjoying a table of fresh fruit and cheese, but she’s not afraid to have some fried shrimp or fish when she wants to. The key is balance, not perfection.
Her Mental Health and Mindset
Tina believes that true health goes beyond just the body—it includes the mind and spirit too. Here’s how she takes care of her mental wellness:
- Practices Buddhism for inner peace and gratitude
- Stays connected with family – spending time with her daughters and four grandchildren
- Maintains friendships and strong social connections
- Focuses on self-love and being kind to herself
- Stays sober – she’s been alcohol-free for over 25 years
“There’s a shift that happens when you start focusing on your inner strength. It’s not just about the physical transformation; it’s about your mindset,” Tina shared.
Important Health Lessons from Tina’s Story
1. Never Skip Important Medical Checkups
Tina’s breast cancer diagnosis taught her the importance of regular medical screenings. If she hadn’t missed her mammogram, she might have caught the cancer even earlier when it’s easier to treat.
What You Can Do:
- Schedule regular checkups with your doctor
- Don’t skip mammograms, colonoscopies, or other screenings
- Listen to your body and see a doctor if something feels wrong
- Keep track of your family’s health history
2. It’s Never Too Late to Get Healthy
At 71 years old, Tina is in better shape than many people half her age. She proves that you can make positive changes at any age.
“I want to live a long, healthy life and show the world that you can take control of your health at any stage of life,” Tina said.
3. Small Changes Add Up Over Time
Tina didn’t lose 18 pounds overnight. She made small, consistent changes to her daily habits. This is the secret to lasting success.
Simple Changes That Work:
- Walk 10-15 minutes more each day
- Drink more water instead of sugary drinks
- Add one extra serving of vegetables to your meals
- Go to bed 30 minutes earlier
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator
4. Support from Family and Friends Matters
Tina credits her daughters Beyoncé and Solange, along with her close friends, for helping her stay motivated during tough times.
“One key to Tina’s success was her unwavering support system. From her family to her close friends, Tina’s support network helped her stay motivated through the ups and downs,” according to wellness experts who studied her journey.
5. Focus on How You Feel, Not Just How You Look
Tina’s main goal wasn’t to look younger or fit into smaller clothes. She wanted to feel energetic, strong, and healthy. When you focus on feeling good, looking good naturally follows.

How MagnaDoctors Makes Healthcare Affordable
Just like Tina Knowles believes everyone deserves to feel healthy and confident, MagnaDoctors believes everyone deserves access to quality healthcare—regardless of their budget.
Our Revolutionary “Name Your Own Price” Model
Unlike traditional medical offices where prices are set and often too high, MagnaDoctors lets YOU decide what you can afford to pay.
Here’s How It Works:
Step 1: Tell us what medical or cosmetic procedure you need Step 2: Tell us your budget – what you can afford to pay Step 3: Our matching algorithm connects you with board-certified doctors who have open appointment slots Step 4: You receive options and choose the one that’s right for you Step 5: Get the same high-quality care at a price you can afford
Why Doctors Work With Us
You might wonder, “Why would doctors agree to lower prices?” Here’s the truth:
Empty appointment slots in a doctor’s schedule earn them $0. Doctors have expenses like staff salaries, equipment, and office rent whether or not every appointment is filled. By working with MagnaDoctors, they can:
- Fill unused appointment times
- Help more patients get the care they need
- Keep their staff working and earning income
- Generate revenue that would otherwise be lost
It’s a win-win situation. Doctors fill their schedules, and patients get quality care they can actually afford.
Real Savings from Real Patients
Our patients typically save 20-60% off standard medical prices. Here are some verified examples:
- CoolSculpting: 50% savings (patient saved over $1,000)
- Dental procedures: 40% savings in Beverly Hills
- Botox treatments: As low as $8 per unit (normally $15-20 per unit)
