When it comes to healing after breast cancer treatment, gut health is often overlooked—but it shouldn’t be. Research shows that chemotherapy, radiation, and medications can disrupt the gut microbiome, leading to long-lasting side effects like inflammation, fatigue, and digestive issues.
In this week’s episode of Better Than Before Breast Cancer, I’m joined by Lee Holmes, holistic nutritionist, wholefoods chef, and author of the bestselling Supercharged Food series. After healing her own gut following an autoimmune diagnosis, Lee has made it her mission to make gut health simple, approachable, and delicious.
Lee shares her inspiring journey, how food transformed her health, and the practical, budget-friendly ways you can nourish your body with healing whole foods—no complicated recipes or hard-to-find ingredients required.
This episode is for you if:
-
You’re recovering from breast cancer and struggling with digestion, energy, or inflammation
-
You want easy, affordable ways to support your gut without stress
-
You’re curious about how food can be used as medicine in real, sustainable ways
