Optimize Surgery Recovery: An Integrative Approach
Episode 115
Wednesday, 4 February, 2026

In this episode, we dive deep into surgical support for cancer patients and share all the insider intel you might be missing out on. From what not to take before surgery (blood clotting is essential!) to the importance of inflammation in the healing process (yes, inflammation is actually your friend after surgery!), we cover it all. Discover key nutrients, physical and occupational therapy recommendations, and even some mind-body strategies to boost your recovery. We’re talking macronutrients, micronutrients, supplements, and the best foods to eat before and after surgery. Also, we reveal a common supplement that we’re told to skip that might actually help with healing! This episode is packed with practical, easy-to-implement advice that you won't want to miss.Past episodes we mentioned:Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Supplements 101Vitamin D: Supplements 101Calcium: The Low Down and the High PointsVitamin C: Supplements 101Magnesium: the Goldilocks Nutrient?Flax and Chia Seeds: Foods FirstLink to nutrient absorption chart of gutFind clinical trials on exercise as cancer supportive therapyProducts we mentioned (we may earn a small commission at no cost to you):Juven Ginger People Tummy Drops Support the showBecome a member of The Cancer Pod Community!
