Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Lori Bouchard back to The Accrescent Podcast to explore a part of the cancer journey that often gets overlooked - what happens after treatment ends and the scans finally look clear. Dr. Bouchard explains why people can be in remission or have no evidence of disease and still struggle with exhaustion, brain fog, neuropathy, depression, anxiety, hormone disruption, immune weakness, digestive issues, and a general feeling that their body has not recovered. Together, they unpack some of the downstream effects of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, contrast imaging, chronic inflammation, nutrient depletion, gut disruption, heavy metals, and immune suppression. They also discuss why dormant infections, mold, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction may become more apparent after the body has been through intense treatment. Dr. Bouchard shares how individualized testing and data can help guide post-cancer support, rather than relying on standard blood work or a one-size-fits-all recovery plan. This conversation offers a hopeful perspective for anyone who has made it through cancer treatment but is still asking, “Why don’t I feel better yet?”
