MUST LISTEN if you are planning to have surgery soon!

I am so delighted to be joined by Dr. Rebecca Knackstedt, MD, PhD ⁨(@Surgical_Recovery), Assistant Professor of Plastic & Reconstructive surgery at Duke University specializing in implant-based & microsurgical breast reconstruction.

We discuss the concept of PREHABILITATION for surgery, how she incorporates functional medicine into her practice, & how to spot misinformation on social media.

We hope you love this episode as much as we do.

Did you know that about 80% of patients undergoing cancer treatment have skin-related side effects? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ethan Melillo (@millennialrx), PharmD and Senior Manager of Integrated Health at L’Oréal who works closely with the La Roche-Posay team, to discuss ways that patients can minimize skin side effects before, during, and after cancer treatment.

For 50 years, La Roche-Posay has been dedicated to helping navigate patients through the challenges of cancer treatment through skin care. We talk about the importance of skin side effects in cancer care. the perfect regimen for cancer thrivers, LRP’s oncology services, & their thermal springs in La Roche-Posay, France. (Yes, it’s a city with thermal springs!)

We hope you enjoy this episode.

Listen to this episode before you get breast reconstruction!

It was my honor to speak to my friend, Plastic Surgeon & advocate, Dr. Alicia Billington. We unpack all of the insurance craziness she & her patients have experienced over the last few months, & how social media has played a role. We talk about the problems with the Women’s Health & Cancer Rights Act (WHCRA) & how we can fix this.

We also talk about all the reconstructive options you have after breast cancer, including flat closure, flap, & implants, plus the GalaFLEX internal bra! We even figure out my perfect breast reconstruction as a woman who breast-fed three kids. (Howard, listen up!)

We hope you love this episode as much as we do! (ps I’m pretty sure we just became breasties! 👯‍♀️)
