Treatment places a significant demand on your body, increasing nutrient use while often decreasing intake and absorption at the same time. And when those nutrients aren’t replenished, it can impact how you feel, how you heal, and how well your body is able to protect you long-term.

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, Dr. Megan breaks down why nutrient depletion happens after treatment, how it impacts recovery and recurrence risk, and how to start thinking about rebuilding your body in a more targeted way.

Curcumin is one of the most talked-about supplements in the cancer space. It’s a regulator of your internal environment—influencing inflammation, cell signaling, detoxification, and more. And when used properly, it can be a powerful part of reducing recurrence risk.

But what most people don’t realize is this:

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, Dr. Megan breaks down what curcumin is really doing inside the body, why it shows up so often in cancer research, and why it’s also one of the most misunderstood supplements she sees in practice.

Vitamin D is often talked about like it’s just about bones. But in cancer care, and especially after treatment, vitamin D is doing quiet, foundational work across multiple systems that influence cancer recurrence risk.

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, Dr. Megan breaks down what vitamin D is actually doing in the body, why deficiency is so common after cancer, and how this often-overlooked nutrient supports immune balance, inflammation regulation, cell signaling, and hormonal health after treatment.

Many cancer survivors are never told that their risk for cardiovascular disease increases after treatment. But cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in North America, and cancer survivors face an even higher risk due to treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and hormone-altering therapies.

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, I walk you through why heart health deserves intentional attention after cancer, what most standard screening misses, and how cardiovascular disease prevention fits naturally into long-term cancer recovery.

After cancer treatment, many women are left with the sense that something in their body still feels off. Energy may be lower than expected, hormones feel unpredictable, digestion changes, and there’s often a lingering feeling of sluggishness or inflammation. It’s no surprise that many start wondering if they need a detox.

After hormone-positive cancer, one of the most common questions women ask is whether there’s a natural alternative to medications like tamoxifen or aromatase inhibitors. This question doesn’t come from resistance — it comes from lived experience.

Side effects can be relentless.

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, I walk through how hormone therapy medications work in the body and where natural strategies do have an important and meaningful role.

We unpack why so many women are drawn to the idea of “natural estrogen blockers” and how online messaging often blurs the line between support and replacement. I also explain how to think about estrogen metabolism, side effect management, and long-term health in a way that moves beyond all-or-nothing decisions.

After cancer treatment ends, many women are left with a quiet, persistent question:

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, I teach about more modern and advanced post-treatment testing — including blood tests that can sometimes detect cancer-related signals earlier than scans.

Here’s one thing you can actually stop doing, instead of adding more, when it comes to reducing recurrence risk.

For once, a cancer-related topic that isn’t about buying another supplement, stacking another protocol, or doing more.

Of course… there’s nuance.

You can’t just not eat forever — and not all fasting is created equal.

In this episode of The Flourish After Cancer Podcast, we break down what fasting actually means, why it shows up in cancer research, and how to decide whether it helps, or harms, in your specific body.

Off-label medications are a hot topic in the cancer world right now.

You’re hearing names like GLP-1s, ivermectin, and fenbendazole tossed around in comments, DMs, and late-night Google searches… but when you go looking for clear, trustworthy information?

There’s not much.

So I brought in the best person I know for this conversation: Dr Paul Anderson. Dr. Anderson has spent decades working at the intersection of integrative medicine, complex chronic illness, and cancer.

One of the most important takeaways: the world of repurposed medications is much bigger than what’s trending on social media. There are many categories that researchers and clinicians explore in oncology, including:

In this conversation, we focus on the ones people are asking about the most right now — GLP-1s and popular antiparasitics like ivermectin and fenbendazole — and we talk through what they do, why they’re being discussed, and what to watch for.
