  Tools for Survivorship with Dr. Elenora Teplinsky

  Sep 27, 202654 minS3

  I'm back for a short season interviewing my personal favorite oncologist friends... the first of which has published a wonderful book that goes on sale today! I'm sure you've heard of Dr. Teplinsky if you've been on the breast cancer end of Instagram. She's an amazing collaborator with some really wise doctors who are trying to broaden lifestyle limits that most of us breast cancer patients and survivors encounter every day--things like dry skin, brittle bones, stiff joints, and incontinance. Most oncologists don't even speak to these post menopausal and hormone blocker symptoms, but Dr. T has an amazing toolbox full of suggestions and her book is a great summary of them all. I hope you'll enjoy learning from her here. We talk about: the Wisdom Study for those at higher risk, the safe use of estrogen and other supplemental hormone precursers like DHEA and Testosterone, the dangers of alcohol use before and after cancer, and the new ways that AI, in its current basic form, has shown to be promising for breast cancer science. Even though Elenora is an oncoloist--she's not YOUR oncologist, so don't take her or my words as medical advice please! - Related Videos: The youtube playlist of both of my first two podcast seasons: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6UwzXU_5wZHEnUiAVtorqEsWpcYTBDpC - Links: Find the new book here: https://interludecancerstories.com/book/ Did you know that I'm on substack?
