Today on Integrative Cancer Solutions with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, Dr. Karlfeldt acknowledges the overwhelming nature of a cancer diagnosis, describing it as "one of the hardest slap in the face imaginable." He emphasizes how patients suddenly need to become experts in cancer treatments because their lives depend on it. In this episode Dr. Karlfeldt interviews Dr. Mary Hardy about the role of mitochondria in cancer development and treatment. Dr. Hardy critiques the traditional "war metaphor" approach to cancer treatment, noting that while it can be successful in some cases, it often leads to significant side effects and potential second cancers. She explains Dr. Warburg's discovery of how cancer cells lose advanced metabolism, particularly their ability to metabolize glucose normally, which leads to primitive cellular functions and toxic end products. Dr. Hardy delves into the evolutionary significance of mitochondria, explaining their maternal DNA origin and crucial role in organizing complex cellular functions including energy production, cell signaling, and apoptosis (programmed cell death). She describes how cancer cells can turn off the apoptotic switch by damaging mitochondria, allowing them to survive and proliferate abnormally. This understanding opens new pathways for cancer treatment that focus on restoring mitochondrial function rather than simply killing cancer cells. The conversation then shifts to integrative oncology approaches, with particular focus on Mediterra, a fermented wheat germ extract that may improve mitochondrial function and cancer outcomes. Dr. Hardy shares clinical studies showing increased five-year survivorship in cancer patients who used Mediterra for a year, as well as personal anecdotes about patients who experienced significant benefits, including one whose metastasis disappeared after using the product. She emphasizes the importance of continuing treatment for a full year to achieve optimal results. Dr. Hardy concludes by discussing how re-normalizing mitochondria can prevent metastasis by inhibiting the formation of new blood vessels and adhesion molecules. She advocates for a holistic approach to cancer treatment that addresses both the tumor and the patient's overall health, including diet, exercise, and stress management. Dr. Hardy encourages patients to educate their doctors about integrative approaches and to seek out practitioners who support combining conventional and natural therapies for the best possible outcomes.The introduction acknowledges the pressure patients often feel from medical professionals and loved ones to pursue conventional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.Dr. Karlfeldt suggests that many patients intuitively sense there are additional treatment options beyond traditional therapies alone.The podcast aims to share stories from real people who have successfully fought cancer using integrative and holistic methods.Mediterra (fermented wheat germ extract) works through four key mechanisms: it blocks cancer cells' ability to uptake sugar, encourages apoptosis (programmed cell death), improves immune surveillance by increasing natural killer cells and removing cancer cells' "camouflage," and rescues mitochondrial function which inhibits cell growth and metastasis.Re-normalizing mitochondria is critical for preventing cancer metastasis because healthy mitochondria build up adhesion molecules between cells (preventing cells from breaking away), inhibit the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need for growth, and activate pathways that prevent cancer spread—addressing metastatic disease is particularly important since that's where tumor burden becomes significant and patients begin to decline.----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.

In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions Dr. Karlfeldt is joined by Dr. Carol Lourie as she shares her extensive experience in integrative oncology, particularly focusing on breast cancer. Dr. Lourie explains how her journey into cancer care began when a close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer, which inspired her to deeply explore complementary approaches to conventional treatments. She describes how they implemented strategies like intermittent fasting, acupuncture, and herbal medicine alongside medical treatments, which led to her friend experiencing better outcomes than expected. Dr. Lourie offers a critical perspective on conventional cancer treatments, particularly questioning the widespread use of Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors for breast cancer. She cites research suggesting that the effectiveness of these medications may be exaggerated while their significant side effects, including increased risk of other cancers and oxidative stress, are often downplayed. This critique forms part of her broader advocacy for patient education and empowerment in making informed treatment decisions. The discussion emphasizes the importance of lifestyle factors in both cancer prevention and treatment. Dr. Lourie highlights how the standard American diet and common household products containing estrogen disruptors can contribute to cancer development. She provides practical recommendations for improving metabolic health, such as drinking green tea and avoiding certain chemicals in everyday products, stressing that these changes should be implemented gradually and sustainably. Throughout the podcast, Dr. Lourie emphasizes the critical role of mindset in cancer recovery and the need for a holistic approach that addresses both physical and emotional aspects of healing. She discusses her online coaching program called "Empowered Against Recurrence," which helps women worldwide manage their cancer treatment and recovery journey. The conversation concludes with Dr. Lourie sharing information about her resources and online courses designed to support both patients and practitioners in integrative cancer care.Dr. Carol Lourie entered integrative oncology after helping a friend with breast cancer navigate treatment using complementary approaches like intermittent fasting, acupuncture, and herbs alongside conventional medicine.Research cited by Dr. Lourie suggests that medications like Tamoxifen and aromatase inhibitors may have exaggerated effectiveness while their significant side effects, including increased cancer risks elsewhere, are often minimized.The standard American diet and common household products containing estrogen disruptors significantly contribute to cancer development according to Dr. Lourie's analysis.Dr. Lourie created an online coaching program called "Empowered Against Recurrence" to help women worldwide make informed decisions about their cancer treatment and recovery.A positive mindset and holistic approach addressing both physical and emotional aspects are essential components of effective cancer treatment and recovery.----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.

A free way to support your cancer treatment? Shifting your mindset and finding the positives in life. This week, I'm joined by Taylor Dukes, a family nurse practitioner, mother of two, and former colleague. We sat down to discuss her cancer journey—from finding out she had a brain tumor to entering remission—what she's learned in the years since her initial diagnosis, and how reframing her mindset helped her thrive. In this episode, you'll discover: Integrative Approaches to Cancer Treatment: When doctors found a brain tumor in Dukes' right frontal lobe, the mother of two didn't jump straight into surgery. Instead, she implemented a lot of integrative therapies such as coffee enemas, hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, wearing a red light helmet, and more. "In the five months between when I got diagnosed and when I actually had surgery, we were able to shrink the brain tumor in half," says Duke." The Power of Positive Thinking: Dukes, who currently has "no evidence of disease," believes that as long as you're breathing, there is always hope and there are always options. "No diagnosis, no test, no statistic has the ability to figure out the number of your days," says Dukes, who credits prayer and meditation for her mindset. "Your mind is powerful and what you believe is so, so powerful." Maintaining Your Health After Cancer: Two years after her diagnosis, Dukes is now in maintenance mode and focuses on getting her immune system back on track. She keeps up with regular fasting, eats a lower-carb diet, and alternates between red light therapy, ozone therapy, and sauna. “I'm starting specific therapies to target the co-infections and Lyme markers I have,” she says. 06:40 A Life-Changing Diagnosis 10:15 Integrative Approach to Healing 18:19 The Power of Faith and Family 20:26 Life After Surgery 24:41 Immune System Suppression and Cancer Growth 25:01 Prevention and Immune System Recovery 25:26 Targeted Therapies and Integrative Approaches 26:55 Conventional vs. Integrative Treatment Options 31:11 Support Systems and Personal Decisions 34:08 Navigating Parenthood During Cancer 37:55 Coping Mechanisms and Emotional Resilience Connect with Dr. Myers: Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Taylor Dukes: Website: https://taylordukeswellness.com/ Online store: https://shop.taylordukeswellness.com/collections/all-products Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taylordukeswellness/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/taylordukeswellness/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@taylordukeswellness

When it comes to living a healthy, full life, you must take inventory of your daily routine—it can inform the current and future state of your health. This week, I'm joined by Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, a leading expert in integrative medicine, who is known for addressing the root cause of disease, including cancer. We sat down to discuss cancer prevention, early detection, and how key lifestyle changes can treat and prevent disease. In this episode, you'll discover: Why Cancer Diagnoses Are More Common Today: Since 1990, there's been an 80% increase in cancer among young people especially.

"It's toxic everywhere, and it doesn't matter where you eat, what you eat, it's present." How to Prevent Disease: In that same vein, there are steps you can take to help your body help you. It all starts with how you live your 24-hour day, says Dr. Connealy. As for what you can do to Take Back Your Health™? Address your emotional state, detoxify, go outside, exercise, boost your vitamin C intake, clock in quality sleep, eat a paleo diet, and limit daily stressors wherever possible. "Your body is miraculously made. It's constantly trying to take care of you," adds Dr. Connealy. Early Detection Signs: While Dr. Connealy says bloodwork doesn't typically reveal a cancer diagnosis, there are markers you should be cognizant of. If your C reactive protein ("a nonspecific marker for inflammation"), for example, is over 0.5, that is something to be weary of because "inflammation is the precursor to all diseases," says Dr. Connealy, who also emphasizes the importance of tracking levels of vitamin D, which influences over 3,000 genes. 00:00 Rising Cancer Rates: A Modern Epidemic 02:46 Dr. Connealy's Personal Journey 09:47 The Importance of Prevention and Early Detection 15:30 Practical Steps for Health and Wellness 30:20 Understanding Hemoglobin A1C and Nagalase 30:52 Immune System and Hormone Testing 31:26 Cancer Profile and Liquid Biopsies 32:53 Bioenergetic Testing and Chinese Medicine 35:30 Tumor Microenvironment and Conventional Oncology 37:53 Integrative Approaches to Cancer Treatment 42:31 Low Dose Chemotherapy and Insulin Potentiation 47:22 The Role of Fasting and Lifestyle Changes 52:13 QT Scan: A Kinder Breast Evaluation Connect with Dr. Myers: Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Dr. Connealy: Website: https://www.connealymd.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConnealyMD/ Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leigherinconnealy/ Twitter: https://x.com/drconnealymd Podcast - Cancer Conversation: https://cancercenterforhealing.com/webinar/ Books - The Cancer Revolution: https://amymd.io/4
Dr. Narda Robinson, an osteopath (for humans), veterinarian, and integrative medicine researcher, joins us to talk about healing dogs with massage therapy. It's not just petting! Massage for dogs has many benefits and can alleviate pain. Dr. Robinson thinks we should all be helping our dogs every day with massage. She emphasizes the difference between simple petting and therapeutic massage, the role of myofascia, and how to identify and relieve pain. The conversation covers the lack of formal training in massage for veterinarians, the potential for hands-on learning, and how techniques such as effleurage, petrissage, and compression can be utilized at home. Dr. Robinson also shares her views on the intersections of traditional and alternative medicine, the importance of reading an animal's body language, and contraindications for performing massage on dogs.

When healing becomes an endless to-do list, something's wrong. Dr. Mary Pardee learned this the hard way. Trapped in a maze of treatments for her chronic gut issues, she discovered that the path to health isn't about doing more - it's about doing less. In this conversation, Dr. Pardee shatters common myths about integrative medicine. Forget endless supplement protocols. Question over testing. Stop chasing every new wellness trend. We dive deep into the gut-brain connection, exploring how emotional patterns can lock us into chronic illness - and how breaking these patterns can unlock healing. Dr. Pardee shares the exact strategies that transformed both her health and the lives of thousands of her patients. Think social media "health experts" are making you healthier? Think again. We expose how the democratization of health information is both empowering patients and drowning them in confusion. This isn't just another conversation about functional medicine - it's a roadmap to simpler, more effective healing. Whether you're struggling with chronic health issues or simply questioning conventional approaches to wellness, prepare to rethink everything you thought you knew about getting better. Ready to transform your approach to health? Join us for an eye-opening discussion that will change how you think about healing - and show you why sometimes, less really is more.

Send us a textHave you been having some trouble navigating the emotional aftermath of the recent election results? Me too. We can all easily see the writing on the wall: there are definitely going to be some societal challenges coming up ahead.I learned about the election results as I watched the sun rise through airport windows. It got me thinking about my culture, my gender, and how I've come to where I am today. In this podcast, I share stories of the women in my family, and some personal experiences about resilience, self-awareness, and breaking free from societal expectations.This isn't a political rant—it's about personal and collective empowerment and how we move forward. It's about choosing love over hate, showing up for ourselves and others, and taking control of our lives. It's about financial independence, challenging gender norms, and confronting some of the unconscious biases we carry. If you've ever felt stuck or like you're navigating the same struggles that I do, this episode is for you. Let's break barriers, build each other up, and create the life we deserve—together.As promised, here is the link to the article I recently wrote, entitled "The Tale of Two Books (and How I Broke the Binding on my Unwritten Instruction Manual)."Pause and ask yourself why things are the way they are... and who told you it had to be that way. We don't need to be victims to societal norms. We are allowed to question things when they are unjust or don't make sense. We are allowed to make changes in our lives for the better.

Send us a textIt's Halloween! While the kids are gearing up in their costumes, ready to take on magical roles, I'm thinking about the masks we all wear—not just on Halloween, but in our everyday lives.

In this episode, I share a story from my days as a pediatric resident, where putting on a ‘strong' mask helped me survive, but left me feeling isolated. Let's talk about the masks we wear, the roles we play, and what it might feel like to set one of them down.
