Curious about how others navigate their sobriety journey? Laura Lummer, a two-time breast cancer survivor and certified life coach, tackles the complex topic of weight loss after breast cancer and menopause. If you've ever wondered why the simple equation of calories in versus calories out seems to fall short, this episode is a must-listen.

Drawing parallels with the survival reality show 'Survivor', she highlights that while extreme conditions can force weight loss, they don't necessarily promote a healthy metabolism.

She offers practical tips like mindful eating and spending time in natural light to help regulate your body's stress response. Her insights are both relatable and eye-opening, providing a fresh perspective on body acceptance and self-care after cancer treatment. Laura's candid discussion invites listeners to reconsider their approach to weight management and focus on holistic well-being.
