On Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is here to provide hope and practical guidance for those facing a cancer diagnosis by sharing real stories of individuals who have successfully navigated their own cancer journeys using integrative and holistic methods. Dr. Karlfeldt welcomes Elaine Gibson, a cancer survivor and health coach, who expresses her excitement to share her experiences and inspire others. The conversation highlights the importance of exploring options beyond traditional cancer treatments and the value of learning from those who have walked a similar path. Elaine recounts her initial diagnosis of stage four non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2001. Despite a dire prognosis from her medical team, she was determined to find a way to heal. Her journey began with traditional treatments but quickly expanded to include alternative therapies, such as low-dose IPT and holistic approaches she discovered during a trip to Mexico. Elaine's story is marked by resilience and a refusal to accept defeat, drawing on her background as an athlete to maintain a fighting spirit and a positive mindset throughout her treatment. As Elaine's health improved, she became increasingly interested in the science behind healing and the role of lifestyle in disease prevention. Elaine adopted practices such as juicing, consuming ionized oxygenated water, and focusing on a plant-based diet. Elaine emphasizes the importance of understanding cellular health, particularly the need for oxygen and proper nutrition, and how these factors contribute to overall well-being. Her disciplined approach to daily routines, inspired by elite athletes, became the foundation for her long-term health and vitality. Elaine's experience led her to dedicate her life to coaching women with cancer, helping them master a lifestyle that supports healing and longevity. She stresses the importance of accountability, support, and creating an environment conducive to health—starting with practical steps like setting up the kitchen and pantry, choosing the right ingredients, and establishing non-negotiable habits such as daily green juice and mindful intention. Elaine's holistic philosophy incorporates elements like far infrared saunas, essential oils, and grounding practices, all aimed at empowering her clients to take control of their health. The episode concludes with Elaine reflecting on the broader impact of her work, not only on her clients but also on her own family and community. She shares her belief that the pain of discipline is far less than the pain of regret, encouraging listeners to make intentional choices that support long-term health. Elaine's vision is to help others create a cancer-free, disease-free life filled with joy, purpose, and legacy. She invites listeners to connect with her for coaching and support, reinforcing the message that healing is possible through a combination of science, discipline, and a supportive environment.Elaine Gibson shares her journey from a dire cancer diagnosis to recovery through integrative and holistic health practices, emphasizing the importance of mindset and lifestyle changes.She describes her experiences with alternative treatments, such as low-dose IPT in Mexico, and highlights the role of supportive relationships in her healing process.Elaine discusses the significance of disciplined routines, including juicing, ionized water, and exercise, in achieving and maintaining optimal health.Her work now focuses on coaching women with cancer, helping them build healthy habits, supportive environments, and accountability systems.Elaine concludes by stressing the value of discipline over regret, the power of intentional living, and her mission to help others create cancer-free, fulfilling lives.----Grab my book A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health Threat - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-power-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of Cancerhttps://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-within-Price: $24.99-100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2----Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

You have two years left to live. What would you do?That's a real question Angela Trimbur had to answer. In 2018, a breast cancer diagnosis forced her to get honest with herself. If Angela had only 2 years to live, what kind of life did she truly wish to live? Angela chose to start over. She sold everything she owned, left her acting career behind, and moved to New York to become a dance teacher. Angela's irreverent teaching style and unique approach to dance won her accolades, and she now teaches sold out classes where people use dance to find themselves.In this conversation, Angela explains why cancer actually helped her become a better version of herself. She shares how her disease enabled her to adopt a 2-years outlook on life, and why living as if our time is limited is always good practice, even when nothing appears to be wrong.This…is A Bit of Optimism.For more on Angela and her work, check out:Angela Trimbur Dance
Gigi Robinson grew up with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disease that turns your joints into overcooked spaghetti. Instead of letting it sideline her, she built a career out of telling the truth about invisible illness. We talk about what it takes to grow up faster than you should, why chronic illness is the worst unpaid internship, and how she turned her story into a business. You'll hear about her days schlepping to physical therapy before sunrise, documenting the sterile absurdity of waiting rooms, and finding purpose in the mess. Gigi's not interested in pity or polished narratives. She wants you to see what resilience really looks like, even when it's ugly. If you think you know what an influencer does, think again. This conversation will challenge your assumptions about work, health, and what it means to be seen.RELATED LINKSGigi Robinson Website: https://www.gigirobinson.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gigirobinsonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsgigirobinsonTikTok: @itsgigirobinsonA Kids Book About Chronic Illness: https://akidsco.com/products/a-kids-book-about-chronic-illnessFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Episode Description:If you've ever wondered what happens when a Bronx-born pediatric nurse with stage 4 colon cancer survives, raises a kid, becomes a policy shark, and fights like hell for the ignored, meet Vanessa Ghigliotty. She's not inspirational. She's a bulldozer. We go way back—like pre-Stupid Cancer back—when there was no “young adult cancer movement,” just a handful of pissed-off survivors building something out of nothing. This episode is personal. Vanessa and I built the plane while flying it. She fought to be heard, showed up in chemo dragging her kid to IEP meetings, and never stopped screaming for the rest of us to get what we needed. We talk war stories, progress, side-eyeing advocacy fads, TikTok activism, gatekeeping, policy wins, and why being loud is still necessary. And yeah—she's a damn good mom. Probably a better one than you. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll want to scream into a pillow. Come for the nostalgia. Stay for the righteous anger and iced coffee.RELATED LINKSVanessa on LinkedInColorectal Cancer Alliance: Vanessa's StoryZenOnco Interview with VanessaFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Risa Arin doesn't just talk about health literacy. She built the damn platform. As founder and CEO of XpertPatient.com (yes, expert with no E), Risa's taking a wrecking ball to how cancer education is delivered. A Cornell alum, cancer caregiver, and ex-agency insider who once sold Doritos to teens, she now applies that same marketing muscle to helping patients actually understand the garbage fire that is our healthcare system. We talk about why she left the “complacent social safety” of agency life, how her mom unknowingly used her own site during treatment, what it's like to pitch cancer education after someone pitches warm cookies, and why healthcare should come with a map, a translator, and a refund policy. Risa brings data, chutzpah, and Murphy Brown energy to the conversation—and you'll leave smarter, angrier, and maybe even a little more hopeful.RELATED LINKS• XpertPatient.com• Risa Arin on LinkedIn• XpertPatient & Antidote Partnership• XpertPatient Featured on KTLA• 2024 Health Award BioFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Dr. Jamie Wells is back—and this time, she brought a book. We cover everything from biomedical design screwups to the glorified billing software known as the EHR. Jamie's new book, A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering, is a masterclass in what happens when you stop treating kids like small, drunk adults and start designing medicine around actual human factors. We talk about AI in pediatric radiology, why drug repurposing might save lives faster than biotech IPOs, and the absurdity of thinking one-size-fits-all in healthcare still works.Jamie's a former physician, a health policy disruptor, a bioethicist, an MIT director, and a recovering adjunct professor. She's also a unicorn. We dig into the wonk, throw shade at bad design, and channel our inner Lisa Simpsons. This one's for anyone who ever wondered why kids' hospitals feel like hell and why “make it taste like bubblegum” might be the most important clinical innovation of all time. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might get angry enough to fix something.RELATED LINKSJamie Wells on LinkedInBook: A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering (Amazon)Book on SpringerDrexel BioMed ProfileGlobal Blockchain Business CouncilJamie's HuffPost ArticlesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Erica Campbell walked away from corporate life, took a hard left from the British Embassy, and found her calling writing checks for families nobody else sees. As Executive Director of Pinky Swear Foundation, she doesn't waste time on fluff. Her team pays rent, fills gas tanks, and gives sick kids' parents the one thing they don't have—time. Then, breast cancer hit her. She became the patient. Wrote a book about it. Didn't sugarcoat a damn thing. We talk about parking fees, grief, nonprofit burnout, and how the hell you decide which families get help and which don't. Also: AOL handles, John Hughes, and letters from strangers that make you cry. Erica is part Punky Brewster, part Rosie the Robot, and part Lisa Simpson—with just enough GenX Long Island sarcasm to make it all land. This one sticks.RELATED LINKSPinky Swear FoundationThe Mastectomy I Always Wanted (Book)Erica on LinkedInThink & Link: Erica Campbell“Like the Tale of a Starfish” - Blog Post“Cancer Diagnosis, Messy Life, Financial Support” - Blog PostFEEDBACKLike this episode?
