Thriving After Cancer with Dr. Amy Rothenberg
In this inspiring episode of the Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast, Dr. Geo sits down with Dr. Amy Rothenberg — a licensed naturopathic doctor for over 36 years, 2017 Physician of the Year by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians, and a living example of resilience.
After 18 rounds of chemotherapy in 2014, Dr. Rothenberg competed in her first triathlon just six months later. She shares her journey of overcoming breast, ovarian, and leukemia diagnoses while integrating both conventional and naturopathic medicine. Her best-selling book, You Finished Treatment, Now What?, offers cancer survivors a compassionate, practical roadmap to reclaim their health.
Whether you’re living with cancer, supporting someone who is, or looking for ways to live better with age, this conversation is filled with actionable insights on healing, prevention, and thriving.
Key Points:
- A Doctor Becomes the Patient – How Dr. Rothenberg faced multiple cancer diagnoses and treatments while maintaining her health philosophy.
- Integrative Approach – Combining conventional oncology care with naturopathic strategies for side effect management, immune support, and recovery.
