Naturopathic oncologist Dr. Nasha Winters on the hidden framework behind hormone chaos, chronic stress, and why your body might be trying to protect you, not betray you — Part 1 of 2If you've ever wondered why your hormones feel completely out of balance despite "normal" lab work, healthy habits, or doing everything you can to feel better, this conversation is going to change the way you think about your health.In Part 1 of this fascinating conversation, I sit down with internationally recognized naturopathic oncologist and metabolic health expert--and stage IV ovarian cancer thriver since age 19--Dr. Nasha Winters to explore one of the most overlooked concepts in modern wellness: your body's terrain.Together, we unpack the surprising connections between chronic stress, gut health, circadian rhythm, loneliness, metabolism, and hormone balance—and why these systems are deeply connected long before symptoms show up on standard testing.The good news? This isn't about striving for perfection.It's about making small, intentional changes that help your body become more resilient, more adaptable, and better equipped for the decades ahead. Because true longevity isn't just about adding years to your life—it's about feeling vibrant enough to fully enjoy them.What You'll Learn:Why "normal" hormone labs don't always tell the whole story.Why the very habits that make you thrive can eventually be the ones that break you.Discover what happens inside your body in the first hour after you wake up, and why it matters more than almost anything else you do all day.Why she rewrote her own framework — discover what made her flip her entire ten-part health model upside down after a decade of teaching it the old way.The "era of despair" your doctor isn't tracking — find out which two surprising causes are driving America's fastest-dropping longevity in the world.The surprising role your gut bacteria play in estrogen balance.Why loneliness can show up as measurable inflammation in your blood work.What "wired but tired" really means—and what's happening with cortisol.How childhood stress may continue affecting your health decades later.Why your body needs to feel safe before it can truly heal.The surprising power of just 10 minutes of morning sunlight.Why blood sugar, stress, sex hormones, and sleep are inseparable.How embracing Samantha's "10% toxic" method can help you build a healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.About Our Guest ExpertDr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO, is an internationally recognized leader in metabolic and integrative oncology and a pioneer of terrain-centered approaches to cancer and chronic illness.Diagnosed at age 19 stage IV ovarian cancer— at a time when the average patient with her diagnosis was nearly 50 years older than she was—Dr. Winters has spent more than three decades advancing a systems-based approach to health that explores the connections between metabolism, inflammation, circadian rhythm, environmental health, immune resilience, and emotional wellbeing. She is the creator of the Terrain Ten® framework, co-author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer and Mistletoe and the Future of Integrative Oncology, and host of the Tend the Terrain Podcast.Connect with Dr. Nasha WintersInstagram: @drnashawintersFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/drnashaincWebsite: https://drnasha.comYouTube @drnashawintersTerrain Ten quiz: drnasha.com/quiz____________________________Get Cleaner, Regulated, Better Supplements for LessDid your last order of vitamins come off a big online overnight shipping platform but you have no idea how long it was sitting in an overheated warehouse?Or maybe those Omega-3's you take are actually rancid but you wouldn't know?That's why I'm excited to have found a platform that is not only efficacious and 3rd-party lab tested, but also regulated to have the ingredients in them that are on the label!And Fullscript has 100+ brands of supplements you may already be taking…only better.

What if the same molecule that earned three scientists a Nobel Prize could also protect your healthy cells while cancer treatment targets the sick ones?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Chris Burres, carbon nanomaterial engineer and co-founder of MyVitalC, to unpack the science behind ESS60, a purified form of the Nobel Prize winning C60 molecule. Chris walks through the peer reviewed research showing ESS60 extended lifespan in animal studies by 90 percent with zero tumor growth, and explains the Boss Theory, the idea that this molecule buffers oxidative stress inside the mitochondria, the same stress that drives inflammation, fatigue and cellular breakdown.The conversation covers what a selective antioxidant does differently during chemotherapy, why HSCRP, a key inflammation marker, matters for cancer patients, and the four clinical trials now underway, including one focused specifically on inflammation. If you are looking for research backed ways to support your mitochondria and lower oxidative stress during treatment or recovery, this episode lays out the science in plain language.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction2:06 How a Nobel Prize winning molecule became a daily supplement8:07 Wistar rats lived 90% longer with zero tumors9:52 ESS60 increases cancer cell death while protecting healthy cells19:44 The Boss Theory: how ESS60 buffers oxidative stress in the mitochondria28:43 Four clinical trials underway, from headaches to HSCRP32:45 Safety, drug interactions and real world dosage35:53 One drop, 400 times more molecules than cells in your bodySchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:MyVitalC (Dr. K's audience link, biohacking guide + discount) - https://www.myvitalc.com/drkLive Longer and Better by Chris Burres - https://a.co/d/05Vn4h3HOperation Underground Railroad - https://www.ourrescue.org Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. However, her perspective changed significantly when she became a patient herself. Through this personal experience, Dr. Jenn saw how broken the conventional medical system can be. This led her to discover and embrace functional medicine, a revelation that sparked her journey towards a more holistic approach to breast cancer care.Connect with Dr. Jenn Simmons:https://www.realhealthmd.com/https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmonsAbout Dr. Taz:Dr. Tasneem Bhatia (Dr. Taz) is a triple board-certified integrative medicine physician,bestselling author, and founder of hol+ a multi-location integrative medicine practice.Learn more: https://doctortaz.com/aboutStay Connected:Connect further to Hol+ at https://holplus.co/ - Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes of hol+.Book a Hol+ Consultation: https://holplus.co/locations/virtual/Follow Dr. Taz on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/drtazmd/https://www.instagram.com/liveholplus/Subscribe to the audio podcast: https://holplus.transistor.fm/subscribeSubscribe to the video podcast: https://www.youtube.com/@DrTazMD/podcastsProduced by https://ClipGrowth.com (Producer: Pat Gostek)

What if cancer isn't just about mutated cells, but about a garden that's gone untended for years?In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with Dr. Yi Song, a pathologist trained at Brown University who comes from generations of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, to talk about why she walked away from conventional cancer research and built a practice around treating the root cause instead of chasing symptoms. They cover why standard lab work often misses what's actually happening inside the body, the six principles behind her book The Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young, and why she believes stem cell therapy works best as early prevention rather than a last resort.The conversation moves between hard science and ancient wisdom, from oxidative stress and DNA damage to meridians, natural rhythm, and the kidney's role as the body's energetic reserve. If you're curious about a different way to think about aging, chronic disease, and what healing actually requires, this one is worth the full listen.Key Takeaways:0:00 Introduction1:15 From generations of Chinese medicine to a pathology PhD at Brown6:21 Why pathology treats symptoms instead of the root cause of cancer9:49 What disease really means before your labs ever catch it13:29 Western medicine digs the well after the fire has already started22:05 The six principles behind The Regeneration Effect35:22 Stem cells as firewood for your body's aging fire38:21 Cancer as the best gift: your garden full of weeds Schedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902Resources:The Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young (pre-order) - https://book.regenerationeffect.comFree e-book, Tending Your Body Like a Garden - https://gift.regenerationeffect.com Medical Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or replace professional medical advice.

"The patient, the first thing I think we look at is the patient themselves, what makes that person who they are. Everybody has their own journey as to why they're here and why they developed cancer. And so trying to understand more of what that person is bringing to the table is only going to help us help them as doctors and as co-learners together." - Dr. Kirsten WestIn this episode of the Riordan Roundtable, Dr. Drew Rose sits down with Naturopathic Oncologists Dr. Stacy Dunn and Dr. Kirsten West to explore integrative oncology—a holistic approach to cancer care that combines conventional treatments with complementary therapies.The providers discuss what integrative oncology means to them, why patients are "co-learners" in their own care, and how trending wellness strategies—from fasting to repurposed medications—fit into evidence-based practice. Learn how they navigate patient autonomy while protecting against harmful decisions, and why there's no single cure for cancer.

Whether it's joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep, hot flushes or anxiety, it can feel frustrating when symptoms linger long after treatment ends. For many people, supplements seem like a logical place to look for menopause support, but with endless products, conflicting advice and cupboards full of half-used bottles, how do you know what's actually worth taking?In this episode, I am once again joined by leading oncologist, researcher and integrative medicine specialist Professor Robert Thomas to explore the role supplements may play in supporting health and wellbeing after cancer.Make sure to have pen and paper ready, as I think you'll need it!In this episode, we discuss:Why so many cancer survivors turn to supplementsHow to identify what symptoms you're actually trying to supportWhich supplements have anti-cancer properties?Which supplements help with joint pain?Supplements that may help with sleepThe role of vitamin D, probiotics and omega-3What should I NOT have too much of?The debate around multivitamins after cancerCommon supplement mistakes that waste moneyCreatine: what we know and what we still don't know for cancer survivorsOne of the most powerful messages from this conversation is that there is rarely one magic supplement.

Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat if the moment that shattered the life you carefully built became the moment that showed you what healing really is?This episode is a little different. Instead of sitting in the host seat, I'm the one answering the questions. My dear friend and colleague, Dr. Nasha Winters invited me onto her podcast, Tend the Terrain, for a conversation that went somewhere I didn't expect.It got honest. It got deeply personal. And it went straight to the heart of why I left a 20-year career as a radiation oncologist at the top of my field and what I found on the other side.I'm sharing it here because I think you need to hear it.We get into something I've rarely talked about in this much depth: a shared death experience I had in 2020 that fundamentally changed me. Not just personally, but in how I understand illness, healing, and what the body may be trying to communicate when it gets sick.If you've ever felt like your diagnosis is something happening to you, this conversation may help you see your body differently.Chapters:04:15 - The Crack in the Foundation06:38 - Sitting With Death08:29 - When the Soul Let Go10:08 - Proof She Could Not Ignore13:16 - Leaving Conventional Oncology14:30 - Why Illness Carries a Message16:30 - Healing the Human First18:41 - Why Fasting Became the Path19:02 - The Four Things Healers Do21:19 - Stop Your World to Heal23:14 - What Happens Inside the Fast24:55 - The Deep Healing After Day Seven27:00 - Refeeding Matters Most32:00 - Why Doctors Feel the System Breaking34:01 - Food as the First Foundation36:13 - The Ripple That Could Change Cancer Care36:50 - Holding Peace While Healing OthersWe also go deep into prolonged water fasting, not as a trend, but as a biological and spiritual tool for healing. I walk through what's happening in the body from the first 36 hours through the deeper work that only begins after day seven. I also explain why fasting at this depth is not something to improvise alone, and why proper guidance and refeeding matter so much.There's a reason I've built my current practice around this work, and it's not the reason most people assume.By the end, you'll understand why the four things I've seen again and again in people who heal are not what conventional medicine ever taught me to look for.Press play and learn why your body was never broken to begin with, and what it may have been waiting for you to understand.Tend The Terrain™ Podcast with Dr. Nasha: https://www.youtube.com/@drnashawintersJoin Dr. Katie's 3-Day Guided Fast, for expert support, daily live calls, and a community to fast alongside: Sign-Up Follow Dr. Katie Deming on InstagramWatch on YoutubeDISCLAIMER: The Born to Heal Podcast  is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for seeking professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

This week we're throwing back to a powerful conversation between Ivelisse and Megan Van Zyl, founder and CEO of Cancer Peace University. Megan dives into healing cancer from every angle, physical, emotional, and spiritual, starting with her favorite health tip: connecting lifestyle change to a deeper sense of purpose. She unpacks immune "anergy," chronic infections like H. pylori and hepatitis, toxins, parasites, and the often-overlooked links between thyroid health, mitochondrial function, and oxygen deficiency in cancer. Megan also walks through detox roadblocks like slow methylation, MTHFR issues, lymph stagnation, and liver backup, sharing practical tools like dry brushing, rebounding, coffee enemas, and infrared saunas, plus the role of modified citrus pectin in reducing cancer cell "clumping" around biopsy or surgery.But the conversation goes beyond the physical. Megan explores psycho-neuroimmunology and how childhood trauma can quietly suppress the immune system's natural killer cells, why talk therapy sometimes isn't enough, and offers gentle tools like free-association journaling and trauma timelines for deeper healing. Faith, hope, and stories of spontaneous remission are woven throughout, reflecting the heart of Cancer Peace University's mission. It's an episode full of insight, encouragement, and real hope for anyone walking through a cancer journey.Learn more about Megan Van Zyl and Cancer Peace University:https://cancerpeaceuniversity.com/the-bridge-program/ Suggested Resource Links:Cancer Peace UniversityBOOK:  Patient, Heal Thyself by Jordan RubinThe Warburg EffectBOOK:  Change Your Cancer Story: Why Some Heal & Others Don't by Megan Van ZylBOOK:  Braving the Storm: Find Hope During a Cancer Diagnosis by Megan Van ZylBOOK:  Fuel Your Body, Not Your Cancer - Anti Cancer Cookbook by Megan Van ZylYour donations power our podcast's mission to support cancer patients with hope, insights, and resources.

Ivelisse sits down with her dear friend and integrative oncology expert Dr. Nasha Winters for a conversation that feels as much like a heart-to-heart as it does a masterclass. Together they tackle one of the most confusing and consequential topics in women's health: hormone replacement therapy.Dr. Winters opens with a simple but powerful daily habit, meeting the sunrise, as an underrated tool for hormonal balance. From there, she unpacks what hormones actually are (messengers, not just chemicals to replenish), traces the eye-opening history of exogenous hormones and their generational effects, and makes a compelling case that most menopausal symptoms are rooted in metabolic imbalance and stress, not deficiency.She also challenges the assumption that "bio-identical" means safe, offers non-hormonal options for common symptoms, and lays out what a wise, terrain-focused approach to tapering actually looks like.Warm, honest, and full of practical wisdom — this one is worth sharing with every woman you love.Learn more about Dr. Nasha Winters here.Suggested Resources:The Metabolic Approach to Cancer by Dr. Nasha WintersMenopause Reset by Dr. Mindy PelzRadical Remission website (Dr. Kelly Turner)Love, Medicine and Miracles by Dr. Bernie SiegelGood Clean Love - lubricantFORIA - Intimacy MeltsURIEL - Argentum Calendula ointmentYour donations power our podcast's mission to support cancer patients with hope, insights, and resources.

A Place Called Hope: Dr. Francisco Contreras on Cancer Care, Faith, and Integrative Healing Episode Description In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Dr. Francisco Contreras of Oasis of Hope in Tijuana, Mexico, for a thoughtful and deeply meaningful conversation about cancer care, hope, faith, prevention, and whole-person healing. Dr. Contreras shares the story of Oasis of Hope, founded by his father, Dr. Ernesto Contreras, more than 60 years ago. What began as a vision to care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of cancer patients has grown into an international integrative oncology center serving patients from around the world. Stephanie and Dr. Contreras talk about the importance of treating the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Their conversation moves through integrative cancer care, immune support, natural and conventional treatment options, nutrition, exercise, stress, spiritual strength, early detection, breast cancer screening, biopsy concerns, and the role of hope in the healing process. Dr. Contreras also discusses why he believes patients need clear, understandable information when facing cancer. With so much information online, the process can feel overwhelming and frightening. His message is steady and compassionate: cancer is serious, but it does not have to immediately steal a person's joy, clarity, or hope. This episode includes discussion of cancer treatment, prevention, screening, integrative oncology, COVID vaccination concerns, and medical decision-making. It is meant to inform, encourage, and spark deeper questions, not replace personal medical advice. Anyone dealing with cancer, screening decisions, treatment options, supplements, or major health changes should work directly with a qualified medical team that understands their individual situation. In This Episode, Discover The story behind Oasis of Hope and its 60-year history How Dr. Ernesto Contreras helped shape a whole-person approach to cancer care Why Dr. Francisco Contreras believes emotional and spiritual support matter in healing What integrative oncology means at Oasis of Hope Why some natural therapies are studied but not widely approved or adopted How immunotherapy and immune support fit into the Oasis of Hope approach Dr. Contreras' perspective on rising cancer rates in younger people Simple lifestyle steps that may help reduce cancer risk The importance of fruits, vegetables, movement, stress reduction, and spiritual strength Why cancer symptoms often appear after disease is already present Mammograms, ultrasound, MRI, thermography, and early detection How Dr. Contreras thinks about biopsy risk versus diagnostic benefit When someone might consider contacting Oasis of Hope Why clear information matters when patients are overwhelmed The role of hope, mindset, faith, and joy during a cancer journey Stay Connected & Explore Learn More About Dr. Francisco Contreras and Oasis of Hope: Oasis of Hope: https://www.oasisofhope.com/ Dr. Francisco Contreras: https://www.oasisofhope.com/doctor/dr-francisco-contreras/ Request a Free Consultation: https://www.oasisofhope.com/contact-us/ Download Dr. Contreras' Free Cancer E-Book, The Art & Science of Undermining Cancer: https://www.oasisofhope.com/ Episode Sponsor: Learn more about Lemongrove Oil: https://www.lemongroveoil.com/ Connect with Conversations with a Chiropractor: Follow Us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@ConversationswithaChiro Follow Dr. Stephanie on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wautierwellness Email for show-related inquiries and sponsorships: drstephaniewautier@yahoo.com Want to be a guest on Conversations with a Chiropractor?

Why are you still so tired? If you've finished treatment but your energy hasn't returned, you aren't alone. In this episode, host Samira sits down with Naturopathic Doctor and author Dr. Jessa Landmann to dive deep into the world of Integrative Oncology.We move past the "war" metaphors to discuss a concept Dr. Landmann calls "Respecting Cancer." We explore why cancer-related fatigue is fundamentally different from being "just tired" and look at evidence-based tools—from iron infusions to aromatherapy—that can help you feel like yourself again.Plus, we're doing some serious myth-busting on the topics currently blowing up your social media feeds: sugar, high-dose Vitamin C, and the latest trends in antiparasitics.

In 1976, scientists discovered something so significant they gave it a name that said everything. That name was scrubbed from the literature eight years later. Dr. William Supple is a neuroscientist. He didn't set out to become one of the most controversial voices in cancer research. He was trying to save someone he loved. What he found in the process — buried in peer-reviewed journals, hidden in WHO population data, and documented across hundreds of real human cases — will permanently change the way you think about cancer, what it is, who profits from it, and what has been available all along. Cancer Is a Parasite by Dr. William Supple is available on Amazon. Dr. Supple's research is at fenbendazole.substack.com.

"You can have two people with the same diagnosis and completely different plans." —Dr. Stacy DunnWorld Health Day is a reminder to step back and look at the full picture of health beyond a diagnosis.In this episode of the Real Health Podcast, Dr. Michelle Niesley sits down with Dr. Stacy Dunn to talk about integrative oncology and how it's practiced at Riordan Clinic.If you've ever wondered what integrative oncology actually means, this conversation gives a clear look at how it works in a clinical setting. Integrative oncology is an approach to cancer care that works alongside conventional treatment. It uses lab testing, clinical insight, and supportive therapies to help guide care, with a focus on coordination, safety, and understanding what may be contributing to each individual case.Dr. Dunn walks through how testing is used to guide decisions. Nutrient levels, inflammation, blood sugar regulation, immune function, and toxic burden are all considered. These results help guide where to focus next. Two people with the same diagnosis may move forward with very different plans based on what their bodies are showing.They also talk about the foundation—nutrition, sleep, and stress—and how those patterns can affect how someone feels day to day.You'll hear how therapies like intravenous vitamin C are used as part of an individualized approach, along with why supplement quality and sourcing matter. The conversation also covers common questions, including how to navigate conversations with oncologists and how to sort through different options without feeling overwhelmed.

Hello healers,   In this episode of The Moss Report, I travel to Budapest, Hungary, to visit Semmelweis University and sit down with research scientist Dr. Christos Chinopoulos, a leading biochemist whose work has helped advance the mitochondrial and metabolic theory of cancer.   Previously on The Moss Report, my father and I spoke with Professor Thomas N. Seyfried of Boston College, who repeatedly pointed to Dr. Chinopoulos as an important scientific collaborator in clarifying key aspects of this theory. In particular, their work has focused on how cancer cells generate energy, the role of mitochondria, the importance of glucose and glutamine, and the idea that a specific metabolic vulnerability may represent an "Achilles heel" of cancer.   In this conversation, Dr. Chinopoulos discusses: • his work with Professor Seyfried • how metabolic theory builds on and corrects aspects of Otto Warburg's original framework • why ketogenic therapy may help cancer patients • the limits of targeting glucose alone • glutamine, substrate-level phosphorylation, and cancer cell survival • his laboratory's work on drug development aimed at exploiting metabolic differences between healthy cells and cancer cells • how this research may eventually contribute to more effective and less toxic cancer treatment   The episode also includes a brief tour of Dr. Chinopoulos' lab at Semmelweis University, where his team studies tumor metabolism, drug response, and precision approaches to cancer biology.   Read the full article, with transcript: https://www.themossreport.com/cancers-metabolic-achilles-heel/     Watch our earlier interview with Professor Thomas N.

Dr. Kaczor speaks with Dr. Chad Levitt, a board-certified radiation oncologist with over 25 years of experience and founder of ONCARE MD. Levitt discusses how patients are, in effect, consumers of a product called "medical care." As consumers, they are in charge and must navigate the often fragmented healthcare landscape. He talks about the need to have your questions answered fully, to seek second opinions, and to ensure that your care team communicates clearly. The discussion covers what fully informed consent looks like, the limits of the NCCN guidelines, and the need for integrative oncology (including nutrition, stress, and supportive care). His company, OncCareMD, provides unbiased, membership-based advice for optimal treatments with frequent touch points to ensure treatment goes smoothly.Dr. Chad Levitt's bio and linksOnCareMD websiteNCCN Guidelines for PatientsSupport the showBecome a member of The Cancer Pod Community!

Have you ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling judged instead of cared for?If you've ever chosen a healing path that didn't match what your doctor recommended, you may know exactly what doctor shaming looks like. Host Dr. Katie Deming names what so many patients feel but rarely talk about, and explains why it happens in the first place.Sometimes it's blunt, like a doctor implying you're a bad parent for skipping a certain treatment. Other times it's subtle, a colder tone, a sudden disconnection, or even conditional care when you're labeled “noncompliant.”Chapters:00:04:30 - When Your Doctor Changes Toward You00:07:00 - Shame Is a Fear Tactic00:08:00 - Why Doctors Are Wired This Way00:10:13 - The System Needs Predictability00:12:06 - Doctors Aren't the Enemy00:13:21 - What Shame Does to Your Nervous System00:18:30 - The Breath Technique That Calls Your Power Back00:21:21 - The System's Discomfort Is Not Your VerdictDoctors go through decades of conditioning that rewards certainty and compliance. And when you understand why the system reacts the way it does when you choose your own path, it becomes a lot easier to stop taking it personally.A dysregulated nervous system clouds your thinking, shrinks your decision-making, and erodes your voice in the room where your care is being decided.

What would you discover about yourself if you lost everything you thought defined you…What happens when a 4x4 truck ends your professional running career at 20? Rob Rene found out. Then the pandemic took his corporate identity. Then came stage 3 melanoma. Three devastating transitions. Three chances to give up. Instead, Rob discovered faith isn't about Sunday church—it's daily relationship with God. He researched our broken medical system, learned his cancer's specific mutation, and fought back naturally. Fourteen months later, his tumors have shrunk 50%. "Fighting cancer is about starving it and getting your immune system strong enough to attack." Rob now helps others through Exodus Strong and Biohackingville, merging biblical wisdom with modern science. His message: if you have breath in your lungs, God still has a plan.Rob Rene is a faith-based AI wellness futurist, founder of Exodus Strong and creator of Biohackingville.

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is joined by Bron Watson—registered nurse, educator, entrepreneur, and founder of The Serenity Project. With decades of experience in healthcare and two life-altering cancer diagnoses—breast cancer followed years later by incurable multiple myeloma—Bron brings a rare dual perspective: clinician and patient. Rather than being defined by diagnosis, she has transformed her lived experience into a framework for healing that integrates science, self-leadership, and soul.Bron shares her journey from passive patient to active participant, exploring what it truly means to become the CEO of your health. Together, she and Dr. Karlfeldt discuss navigating fear and uncertainty, asking empowered questions, and understanding what you can—and cannot—control. Bron introduces concepts such as the Serenity Project's “third space” (where science meets spirituality), the Serenity Prayer as a practical tool, capacity and the spoon theory, and strategies for managing fear without suppressing it. This episode also dives into integrative cancer care, functional medicine, mindset, and why healing is more than just physical outcomes.Whether you're facing cancer, supporting someone who is, or simply navigating uncertainty in life, this episode offers grounding wisdom and practical perspective. Bron's message is clear and compassionate: healing is personal, empowerment matters, and you can live fully—right where your feet are—no matter the diagnosis. This conversation is an invitation to step out of fear, reclaim agency, and find serenity even in life's hardest moments.Key Topics CoveredBecoming the CEO of your health as a cancer patientBron Watson's journey through breast cancer and multiple myelomaThe Serenity Project and the concept of the “third space” (science + soul)Managing fear, grief, and uncertainty without denialCapacity, energy management, and the spoon theoryIntegrative and holistic approaches alongside conventional oncologyAsking empowered questions and moving from passive to active careMindset, presence, and “being where your feet are”Why healing is not the same as longevityBuilding the right healthcare “team” beyond siloed medicine -----------------------------------------------A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1 Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2-----------------------------------------------Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

Send us a textDr. Jenn Simmons spent nearly two decades as a board-certified breast surgeon working inside conventional oncology. Then her own health crisis forced her to question the system she had been trained to defend and ultimately walk away from it.Dr. Kevin White sits down with Dr. Simmons to unpack how that turning point reshaped her understanding of breast cancer, prevention, and what real health protection looks like for women. She shares why focusing solely on tumors misses the bigger picture, how inflammation and environment quietly shape risk long before diagnosis, and why many standard screening practices deserve closer scrutiny.In this episode, you'll hear why “We're very good at reacting to disease. We're much worse at asking what created it,” how medical dogma can persist even when data says otherwise, and what safer, more respectful approaches to screening and prevention can look like when women are treated as individuals rather than protocols.If you've ever felt confused, pressured, or dismissed when making decisions about breast health, this conversation offers a calmer starting point: one rooted in information, agency, and long-term wellbeing.You can learn more about Dr. Jenn Simmons' work at jennsimmonsmd.com and perfeqtionimaging.com, and follow her on social media at @drjennsimmons.

Amanda King ND is a nutritional therapist, naturopathic practitioner, and author of Metabolic Drugs for Cancer (co-written with Dr. Hari Kuhan). She also writes The Metabolic Nutritionist on Substack—followed by 30,000+ subscribers—where she breaks down off-label oncology drugs, supplements, and metabolic approaches to cancer care in clear, practical language. In this episode, Dr. King joins Dr. Michael Karlfeldt to explain why “cancer is a disease of metabolism” is more than a slogan—and how understanding metabolic weaknesses can empower smarter, more personalized integrative strategies.You'll hear how repurposed medications can target cancer's metabolic pathways (glucose, mitochondria, inflammatory signaling, and more), and why personalization matters more than internet protocols. Amanda and Dr. Karlfeldt discuss the Care Oncology “METRICS” drug set (including metformin, statins, doxycycline, and mebendazole), plus additional tools like ivermectin, fenbendazole, DCA, 2-DG, anti-inflammatories (aspirin/COX pathways), histamine blockers (cimetidine), and even PDE5 inhibitors like sildenafil/tadalafil—along with real cautions around dosing, contraindications, and interactions (including potential conflicts with immunotherapy). The conversation also ties metabolic therapy to the “press–pulse” concept and terrain-based care: ketogenic nutrition, inflammation reduction, oxygenation, and lifestyle foundations that strengthen the body while making cancer more vulnerable.Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or practitioner, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for thinking about integrative oncology without guesswork—using a “test, assess, address” mindset to build a strategy that evolves with labs, symptoms, treatment phases, and the individual.Key Topics Covered (bulleted)Why cancer metabolism (not just genetics) is a key lever in integrative oncologyWhat repurposed/off-label drugs can target: glucose pathways, mitochondria, signaling pathways (e.g., EGFR/AKT/mTOR)Why one-size-fits-all protocols are risky—and how to personalize using “test, assess, address”The Care Oncology/METRICS drug set and when it may (or may not) fitSafety and dosing concerns with high-dose ivermectin/fenbendazole and DIY internet protocolsWhen metformin vs berberine may be appropriate—and why they can sometimes be combinedDoxycycline: potential synergy (e.g., with IV vitamin C) vs contraindications (including immunotherapy concerns)Anti-inflammatory strategy: COX pathways, aspirin vs selective COX-2 approaches, plus natural options“Press–pulse” metabolic strategy and why protocols should evolve over timeOther emerging tools discussed: DCA, 2-DG, cimetidine, itraconazole, PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra/Cialis) -----------------------------------------------A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1 Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2-----------------------------------------------Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.
