In this compelling episode, I sit down with integrative medicine pioneer Dr. Jeffrey Dach, MD, to explore his holistic, science-backed approach to fighting cancer. Drawing from his powerful book The Cancer Toolkit, Dr. Dach explains the core mechanisms behind cancer development and progression, and the multifaceted toolkit he uses to address it, from off-label pharmaceuticals and checkpoint inhibitors, to nutritional protocols, repurposed drugs, and targeted supplements. We also break down the three key cellular pathways that go awry in cancer, how to support the body's natural defenses, and why addressing the root cause—not just the tumor—is essential for long-term remission and recovery.  Topics We Cover: Dr. Dach's integrative and functional approach to cancer treatment Key drivers of cancer: inflammation, angiogenesis, metabolic dysfunction The most promising off-label drugs (e.g., metformin, mebendazole, statins) Why the Warburg effect matters—and how to target it Supplements with strong anti-cancer evidence Checkpoint inhibitors and immune activation Building a multi-modal protocol for better outcomes Patient empowerment and the future of cancer care  COMING SOON: Don't miss Part 2 of this interview, where we dive into Dr. Dach's newest book Bioidentical Hormones 101, and his trailblazing protocols for restoring hormonal health safely and naturally. Whether you're a practitioner, patient, or someone interested in cancer prevention, this episode delivers a deep dive into truly transformative insights.

Sunburns aren't just about forgetting your sunscreen—they're often the result of deeper imbalances rooted in what you're eating, how your cells are built, and whether your body is equipped to handle the heat.   In this episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Jamie Belz unpacks the science behind sunburn, seed oils, and vitamin D deficiency—and how what you eat may be making your skin more vulnerable to UV damage. You'll learn how omega-6 PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) from common seed oils get embedded in your skin's cell membranes and oxidize under sunlight, leading to inflammation, skin damage, and slower healing.   Jamie breaks down how to build true sun resilience using the Foundations of Health—including nutrient-dense fats, zinc, vitamin C, magnesium, and functional sun exposure strategies.   You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on:   Why French fries and chips might be making you burn faster How to ditch toxic sunscreen without sacrificing protection The critical role of vitamin D synthesis and how to support it safely How to balance omega-6 and omega-3 fats for better skin and lower inflammation What your cell membranes are really made of—and how to nourish them naturally   Sunshine doesn't just make vitamin D—it makes you happy.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Chad Woolner Dr. Chad Woolner is a pioneering voice in functional and laser medicine. With years of experience under his belt, Dr. Woolner has emerged as a leading advocate for innovative therapies, particularly in the use of low-level laser treatments. Known for his thought leadership in addressing chronic health issues, he continues to explore and promote safer, science-backed health interventions. Dr. Andrew Wells Dr. Andrew Wells is a prominent expert in the chiropractic field, focusing on creating dialogues around modern health challenges and their solutions. He is known for his deep understanding of health systems and passionate advocacy for reform in the use of medical therapies, especially in pediatric care. Dr. Wells combines evidence-based wisdom with practical approaches to health improvement, aiming to shift public and professional perspectives. Episode Summary: In this compelling episode of "The Laser Light Show," Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells analyze the recently published MAHA report that reveals concerning trends in child health in America. The report attributes the growing health crisis to ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, digital addiction, and the excessive use of medical therapies. Yet the report overlooks promising solutions like low-level laser therapy, which Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells argue is crucial in reversing these alarming health trends. Join them as they delve into how laser technology can play a pivotal role in health recovery. The discussion leads with an examination of systemic failures but quickly progresses to potential solutions, particularly emphasizing the power of light therapy as an overlooked intervention. The guests discuss historical usage of laser therapies in other countries like Russia, highlighting its as-yet-unrealized potential in the U.S. healthcare system. Through enlightening anecdotes and expert perspectives, they argue for broader adoption and understanding of laser solutions in addressing chronic health issues, not only for the individual but also from a systemic, societal perspective. This episode is a thought-provoking exploration for anyone concerned with the current state and future of healthcare. Key Takeaways: The recent MAHA report signals a dire health crisis among American children, primarily driven by poor nutrition, environmental toxins, excessive screen time, and overreliance on medical interventions. There is a growing divide between traditional healthcare methods and innovative solutions, with laser therapy offering a versatile, effective tool that has not been fully embraced. Low-level laser therapy has over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies attesting to its effectiveness for diverse health concerns, yet it remains sidelined in mainstream American medical practices. Historical examples, such as government-endorsed laser therapy in Russia, underline the therapy's viability and yet-to-be-tapped potential in America. Advocacy for improved dialogue and openness to alternative therapies is necessary to shift current healthcare approaches and foster better health outcomes. Notable Quotes: "A federal report just confirmed what many of us… have been saying for years. We are facing the sickest generation of children in American history." - Dr. Chad Woolner "Some of the MAHA report is like obvious, but some of it… really deserves some attention for once." - Dr. Andrew Wells "We should be able to find some degree of common ground when we're talking about health." - Dr. Chad Woolner "Lasers can do just about, if not everything medicine can do, but better and with less side effects." - Dr. Chad Woolner "The great thing is there's a lot of good things that you can use. The hard thing from a government standpoint is there's a lot of really cool things that you could do for a lot of different health issues." - Dr. Andrew Wells Resources: Low-level Laser Therapy (LLLT) Studies - Search for "low-level laser therapy" on PubMed for extensive scientific research. Riconia Lasers - Explore more about Erchonia and their low-level laser products.

About the Guest(s): Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells are esteemed figures in the realm of functional medicine, sharing a wealth of experience and knowledge. Dr. Chad Woolner is known for his vast expertise in integrating innovative technologies into healthcare practices. Alongside him, Dr. Andrew Wells boasts a significant background in chiropractic and functional medicine, focusing on revolutionizing healthcare delivery and patient engagement. Together, they co-host the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, where they guide practitioners through the evolving landscape of medicine in the age of technology. Episode Summary: Riding the AI Tsunami in Functional Medicine In this episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells shed light on the impending disruption brought by artificial intelligence in functional medicine. Drawing parallels to the 2004 tsunami in Thailand that took thousands by surprise, they discuss how AI is swiftly altering the landscape for practitioners who risk being caught off guard. This discussion is crucial for those looking to future-proof their functional medicine practice against the rapid advancements in AI technologies. The episode dives deep into the ramifications of AI's ascent, detailing how diagnostic and protocol processes are being transformed. Keywords such as "AI in healthcare," "functional medicine transformation," and "AI predictions" come up frequently as the hosts explore how AI can outperform traditional practices in aspects such as lab interpretations and patient diagnostics. Addressing concerns and uncertainties, they recommend forward-thinking strategies that practitioners can adopt to enhance patient engagement and deliver lasting healthcare outcomes by focusing on experiential and community-based approaches. Key Takeaways: Practitioners must recognize AI as a significant force in healthcare, analogous to the warning signs before a tsunami. AI is already facilitating lab testing, protocol creation, and diagnostics, raising the question of the practitioner's role. Value in functional medicine transcends knowledge; it lies in transformation and community building. Leveraging AI can enhance, not replace, the human elements of personalized healthcare experience. Preparing for AI's influence involves embracing technological tools to augment and streamline patient interactions. Notable Quotes: "AI is projected to add 150 billion in healthcare savings." "If you still believe that knowledge is where the value resides… mass democratization of knowledge, such that knowledge is now a commodity." "Real value still has resided for quite some time and will still for the foreseeable future reside in transformation." "AI can automate the creation of patient education materials, right? And workshops and a variety of other things."

About the Guest(s): Dr. Chad Woolner is a renowned expert in the field of functional medicine, hosting the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast. With extensive experience and a passion for holistic health, Dr. Woolner has been instrumental in advocating for the integration of functional medicine principles into mainstream healthcare. His work focuses on addressing the root causes of health issues and empowering individuals and practitioners to achieve optimal health outcomes through lifestyle modifications and evidence-based practices. Dr. Andrew Wells is a leading voice in the healthcare community, known for his insights into the shortcomings of the conventional medical system. With a deep understanding of healthcare practices and patient needs, Dr. Wells contributes significantly to the discourse on improving health outcomes through innovative approaches in functional medicine. He brings a critical perspective to the challenges facing healthcare today, emphasizing a root-cause, patient-centered approach to wellness. Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells break down a groundbreaking report released by the White House, known as the Maha Report. The report, which mirrors the ethos of functional medicine, boldly critiques major sectors like Big Food, Big Pharma, and the healthcare system for today's public health crises. It highlights an alarming statistic that today's children are the sickest generation in American history, a statement that underscores the urgent need for a new healthcare paradigm. As Dr. Woolner points out, the report's insights align closely with principles that functional medicine practitioners have championed for years, bringing validation to this discipline at the highest levels of government. Throughout the episode, Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells delve into the four key root causes identified in the Maha Report: ultra-processed foods, environmental toxins, sedentary screen-based lifestyles, and over-medication. These elements have dramatically contributed to deteriorating health metrics in the U.S., particularly among children. With 70% of a child's caloric intake coming from ultra-processed foods and a significant rise in various health issues, the episode makes a compelling case for functional medicine as a solution. Dr. Wells emphasizes the potential for functional medicine to fill the void left by conventional practices, citing a 940% increase in functional medicine practices as evidence of growing demand. This episode calls on practitioners to step into this vacuum and lead their communities toward better health outcomes. Key Takeaways: Maha Report's Findings: The report exposes how systemic issues like Big Food and Big Pharma contribute to the deteriorating health of American children, echoing truths long held by functional medicine practitioners. Identifying Root Causes: The report highlights four major contributors to poor health—processed foods, environmental toxins, sedentary lifestyles, and over-medication—urging a comprehensive reevaluation of healthcare strategies. Role of Functional Medicine: Dr. Woolner and Dr. Wells advocate for functional medicine's root-cause approach as a practical solution to contemporary health challenges, underlining the importance of lifestyle modification. The Practitioner Opportunity: With heightened awareness generated by the Maha Report, practitioners are encouraged to take leadership in community health, utilizing functional medicine frameworks to drive positive change. Growing Demand for Change: As traditional healthcare models fail to address these growing concerns, the unprecedented rise in functional medicine practices signifies a patient-driven demand for more effective health interventions. Notable Quotes: "This isn't a conspiracy theory. It is the official report that almost no one is talking about." – Dr. Chad Woolner "Americans are the sickest people in the world by far. We have the most chronic disease in almost every single category." – Dr. Andrew Wells "This report is a massive validation of the root cause model." – Dr. Chad Woolner "If you're struggling with your own health issues and you're looking for answers, we invite you to be part of the solution." – Dr. Andrew Wells "Functional medicine can lead the way, but it's much more than just supplements; it's about true long-term change." – Dr. Chad Woolner Resources: Dr. Chad Woolner's Website: Chad Woolner The Maha Report (Referenced Document) Simplified Functional Medicine Podcast Listeners are encouraged to catch the full episode for a more in-depth analysis and to discover strategies for implementing functional medicine approaches in their communities.

Rates of chronic illness, behavioral disorders, and neurodevelopmental challenges are rising rapidly among children, often tied to underlying gut dysfunction, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental triggers such as toxins and ultra-processed foods. Conventional treatments frequently overlook these root causes, relying instead on symptom management or medication. Functional approaches emphasize foundational lifestyle changes—clean nutrition, microbiome support, movement, sleep, and stress reduction—as powerful tools to restore health. Children are especially responsive to these changes, often experiencing rapid and dramatic improvements in behavior, mood, and physical symptoms. With education, testing, and family-centered strategies, parents can take simple, effective steps to help their children thrive. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Elisa Song, Dr. Suzanne Goh, and Dr. Elizabeth Boham why a root-cause approach is just as important for children, as it is for adults. Dr. Elisa Song, MD is a Stanford-, NYU-, UCSF-trained integrative pediatrician, pediatric functional medicine expert, and mom to 2 thriving children - and she is on a mission to revolutionize the future of children's health. Dr. Song is the bestselling author of the Healthy Kids Happy Kids: An Integrative Pediatrician's Guide to Whole Child Resilience. Dr. Song created Healthy Kids Happy Kids as an online holistic pediatric resource to help practitioners and parents bridge the gap between conventional and integrative pediatrics with an evidence-based, pediatrician-backed, mom-approved approach. In her integrative pediatric practice, she's helped 1000s of kids get to the root causes of their health concerns and empowered parents to help their children thrive by integrating conventional pediatrics with functional medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and essential oils. Dr. Song is chair of A4M's pediatric education and has lectured around the world at leading integrative and functional medicine conferences and premier parenting events. She has also been featured in hundreds of top podcasts, print and online media outlets, including the Wellness Mama podcast, BloomTV, Forbes, Healthline, MindBodyGreen, National Geographic, PopSugar, Parents, Motherly, Parade, Verywell Health, and New York Post. Dr. Suzanne Goh, co-founder and chief medical officer at Cortica, is a Rhodes Scholar and graduate of Harvard University, University of Oxford, and Harvard Medical School who has spent decades working with autistic children. Her work as a board-certified pediatric behavioral neurologist, behavioral analyst, neuroscience researcher, and author led her to create the Cortica Care Model, an innovative, whole-child approach that combines optimal medical treatment with the most effective strategies for advancing cognition, communication, and behavior.
