As a naturopathic doctor, Amy Rothenberg devoted her career to helping others holistically. In 2014, she became a patient when she was diagnosed with breast cancer and ovarian cancer, back to back. Two cancers, two separate treatments. One tough year. Then, she recovered, and wrote a book for cancer survivors on how to bounce back and reduce their risk of recurrence. In 2024, she underwent a stem cell transplant after she was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia). True to form, Dr. Rothenberg shares her experience and her recovery in order to bring hope (and some practical tips!) to others going through treatment for cancer.
“This book creates a treatment plan that dovetails and compliments conventional cancer care, and most importantly encourages physical vitality, mental clarity, and emotional balance.”
