The 36-year-old host announced she has breast cancer and will be undergoing a double mastectomy in February.
‘Last week, I welcomed my first child into the world. About fifteen hours before I went into labor, I was diagnosed with breast cancer,’ the post read.
‘My doctors say it’s stage zero and is confident that it almost certainly hasn’t spread.’
She received her diagnosis just hours before giving birth to her son after working well into her third trimester.
Timpf expressed her gratitude for the internet’s support after sharing the news but admitted that the sheer volume of well-meaning advice had left her feeling ‘overwhelmed.’
The new mother posted a picture outside the top-ranked Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center on Friday.
‘Once I recover from childbirth, my mole removal scars heal, I get a double mastectomy, get rid of my cancer, have breast reconstruction surgery & am physically capable of getting back in the gym it’s OVER FOR U B*****Z,’ Timpf said.

Her startling news was followed by an outpouring of concerned comments, many of which included unsolicited medical advice.
‘First of all, thank you so much for all the support, it’s meant so much to me. This is obviously a really crazy, difficult, unexpected time and I really do appreciate it,’ the mother-of-one said in a video update.
‘But I wanted to address a few things because I’ve also been overwhelmed with, I guess you could say, medical advice?’
Timpf went on to describe the comments, which included some criticism over her doctor’s advice that undergoing a double mastectomy as soon as possible would be the best course of action.
Though not ill-intended, some users went on to describe their own loved ones stage-zero diagnosis.
Some, Timpf said, had recommended that a double mastectomy wasn’t the best course of action as some of their family members only needed a lumpectomy to treat the cancer.
Others, she explained, had claimed themselves to be a nurse before declaring that a double mastectomy for stage-zero cancer sounds ‘extreme.’
‘I just want to say, trust me, there’s no one for whom that seems more extreme than me,’ Timpf said.

‘I don’t take cutting my t*** off lightly,’ she continued. ‘As a general rule, I don’t think any woman does. I find it devastating. But I am very grateful to have access to the opinions of many brilliant minds when it comes to breast cancer.’
Despite referring to the extensive procedure as ‘devastating,’ Timpf emphasized the expertise of the team of health experts guiding her through the process, confidently asserting that they know what is best for her own body.
‘I have been very lucky to have a team that is very knowledgeable on this, I’ve talked to a lot of different people and the focus of all of these conversations is what’s the best thing to do to keep my alive so I’m around for my son for a long time,’ she added.
