Today, Ivelisse welcomes naturopathic doctor and integrative oncology expert Dr. Jessa Landmann to discuss cancer-related fatigue and her book, Beyond Cancer Fatigue: A Path to Reclaiming Energy.
Dr. Landmann explains why fatigue is a common yet often overlooked survivorship challenge with limited conventional solutions, emphasizing a proactive, root-cause, and individualized approach. She explores key biological drivers like inflammation and muscle loss from treatment, along with emotional factors such as trauma, fear of recurrence, and negative self-talk—encouraging listeners to “talk to yourself like your best friend.”
The conversation offers practical, holistic strategies to restore energy, including gradual movement to rebuild strength, anti-inflammatory nutrition rich in colorful fruits and vegetables, omega-3s, and adequate protein, and comprehensive thyroid testing beyond standard labs.
Dr. Landmann also addresses hormone-related changes, the importance of connection, faith, and purpose, and shares evidence-based sleep support tools such as CBT-I, screening for sleep disorders, light exposure, aromatherapy, exercise, and acupuncture.
