Chemotherapy activates the area postrema which causes nausea and vomiting (among other mechanisms).
Many anti-emetics like Ondasteron (Zofran) work by inhibiting serotonin/dopamine receptors in the area postrema.

Caloric imbalance leads to dysregulation of sex hormones (like GnRH). This, in turn, leads to a decreased level of estrogen which is essential for bone health.

“Unfortunately, though, many scientists are really bad at choosing good names and coming up with accessible language for the things they discover. The science of immunology is one of the worst culprits of any scientific discipline in this regard. An already breathtakingly complex field is spiked with words like Major Histocompatibility Complex class I and II, gamma delta T Cells, interferon alpha, beta, gamma, and kappa, and the complement system, with actors named C4b2a3b complex. None of this makes it a pleasure to pick up a textbook and learn about the immune system on your own. But even without this barrier, the complex relationships of the many different actors of the immune system, with countless exceptions and unintuitive rules, are a challenge all by themselves. Immunology is hard even for the people working in public health, even for the people studying immunology, even for the foremost experts in the field.”
