One of the biggest complaints I hear from women in our community is about their frustration with weight gain after a breast cancer diagnosis, as well as the difficulty of losing weight. This episode with Integrated and Obesity Medicine Specialist Dr. Melody Rodarte explains why women who have been diagnoses with breast cancer tend to gain weight and how to approach the problem with weight.

Topics discussed—
• Reasons for weight gain
• The state of menopause
• Weight promoting medications
• Sugar
• Alcohol
• How to break through plateaus
• Talking to your provider about medications and bloodwork
• Intermittent fasting
• Detoxing
• Exercise
• “80% of weight loss is nutrition—you can’t out-exercise a poor diet.”

Dr. Melody Rodarte, DO, is a double-boarded Internal and Obesity Medicine Specialist in Gilbert, Arizona. https://activated.health/
