Dr. Rothenberg’s book, You Finished Treatment, Now What? A Field Guide for Cancer Survivors is a roadmap for lifestyle and natural medicine to address health challenges that persist after care, and to reduce risk of recurrence. She has practiced naturopathic medicine since 1986 and is the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, 2017 Physician of the Year.

She was the longtime medical editor for the Institute of Natural Medicine and spearheaded the successful effort to license naturopathic doctors in Massachusetts. She was an early contributor to the Huffington Post and has written extensively on topics in natural medicine since the 1980s.

When diagnosed with cancer in 2014, Dr. Rothenberg sought care at a renowned teaching hospital and also added naturopathic doctors who specialize in integrative oncology to create her medical dream team. She raised three kids and enjoys the good life in Western Massachusetts with longtime husband and collaborator, Paul Herscu ND, MPH.

During our conversation, Dr. Rothenberg shares what led her to a career in naturopathic medicine, how she used natural medicine to increase efficacy of the conventional treatments she underwent for breast and ovarian cancer, specific ways to help with side effects of treatment, how her book helps people after treatment ends, her suggestions to help with lymphedema, and her thoughts on hormone replacement therapy after cancer.
