The important thing is to gain lean body mass, muscle bone density and to lose body fat.
Ever wondered why the scale seems to creep up even after battling breast cancer? In this episode of 'The Breast Cancer Recovery Coach', Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor, breaks down the complex relationship between chemotherapy and body fat. If you've noticed unexpected weight gain post-treatment, you’re not alone. Laura dives into a study revealing that premenopausal women often experience significant fat increase in their torso and legs after chemotherapy.
But don't lose hope; she offers practical steps to manage your weight and build lean muscle mass. Laura discusses the role of cachexia, a common side effect of chemotherapy that can lead to muscle wasting and fat gain. She emphasizes focusing on body composition rather than just the number on the scale. Laura’s advice? Work with a coach or professional to develop a personalized plan tailored to your unique needs.
This episode is packed with actionable tips that can help you regain control over your body and health. But that's not all. Laura gives a sneak peek into the next episode, where she’ll explore how combining nutrition plans can be a game-changer in fighting both cancer and obesity. Whether you're a survivor, a caregiver, or someone interested in holistic health, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you navigate life after breast cancer treatment.
