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.
