In this episode of the Better Than Before Breast Cancer podcast, we're diving into how common post-treatment medications—like Tamoxifen, Aromatase Inhibitors (Letrozole, Anastrozole, Exemestane), Herceptin, Fulvestrant, and Bisphosphonates (like Fosamax and Reclast)—can deplete critical nutrients your body needs to feel good and stay strong.

Have you ever wondered if the medications you're taking after breast cancer treatment could be affecting your energy, mood, or even your bone health? You're not imagining things.

You'll learn:

• Which nutrients are most commonly depleted by these medications (like magnesium, vitamin D, calcium, B12, and CoQ10)
• The symptoms that may be tied to nutrient deficiencies (think fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and more)
• How some medications may increase cholesterol levels or raise your risk of fatty liver
• Why supporting your body with the right foods and lifestyle habits can make all the difference

Plus, I’ll share simple, whole-food nutrition strategies and daily lifestyle tips that can help you feel more energized, support your bones, balance your mood, and reduce long-term side effects—without adding overwhelm.

Whether you’re taking medications now or just want to be prepared, this episode is packed with practical, supportive guidance to help you stay nourished and in tune with your healing body.
