Welcome the Mediumship Sister's Podcast, Season 6, episode 15! Today, Ciarra shares her personal healing journey with being diagnosed with Cervical Cancer in May of 2025. This is Part 1 of the story.. more to come in following episodes, Stay tuned.This is the first part of her journey with initial diagnosis, telling her children, her close friends and family. How she followed her intuition on food, listening to her body, alternative therapies, how she leaned on her tribe for support energetically and literally, trusting her spirit team, doing a KETO diet, Essiac tea, functional mushrooms, meditations, PEMF mat and healing with her Art medicine all while navigating the traditional Allopathic system in BC Canada.Sharing Ciarra's story will inspire others to believe in their ability to create a space within themselves for healing, for balance and trusting their intuition. To be curious, ask questions and do your own research for ways to heal beyond trusting the traditional system. Books to consider if you are facing a Cancer diagnosis, as food can be our medicine, these two books helped Ciarra navigate her food choices and understand the links to Cancer."Keto for Cancer" by Miriam Kalamian "The Metabolic Approach to Cancer: Integrating Deep Nutrition, the Ketogenic Diet, and Nontoxic Bio-Individualized Therapies" by Dr. Nasha Winters  and Jess Higgins Kelley MNT If you enjoy our podcast, please share it with others you think would enjoy it and please leave us a review !Work with us, follow our Instagram Follow us on You tube https://www.youtube.com/@MediumshipSistersPodcastFollow us on Instagram@themediumshipsisters Ciarra Saylor Douglas @ciarrasaylor_mediumship @ciarrasaylorhttps://www.ciarralovesart.com/shop-1 Mariana Lucker @star.aligned.alchemy www.staralignedalchemy.com Paige Sturgeon @thewildspiritpaige @redhillphotowww.thewildspiritpaige.com www.redhillphotography.com recorded 12/2/25

Nitric oxide has been called the “miracle molecule”—yet most people, including many clinicians, have no idea how essential it is for cardiovascular health, immunity, metabolism, cognition, and longevity. In this episode of Metabolic Matters, Dr. Nasha Winters sits down with Dr. Nathan Bryan, one of the world's leading nitric oxide researchers and a pioneer in molecular medicine. With more than 20 years of groundbreaking work, Dr. Bryan has made many of the seminal discoveries that shaped what we now know about nitric oxide biology. His patented technologies, clinical research, and nitric oxide-based therapeutics have transformed patient care worldwide and generated more than a billion dollars in product sales. Today, he leads Bryan Therapeutics, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing nitric oxide–based drugs for heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetic ulcers, and more.Dr. Bryan shares insights from his early laboratory discoveries, the challenges of bringing disruptive science to medicine, and why restoring nitric oxide may be the missing foundation in modern healthcare.Connect with Dr. Nathan Bryan: Websites: N1o1.comno2u.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drnathansbryan/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrNathanSBryanNitricOxideAbout Your HostI'm Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

In this episode, we sit down with integrative oncologist and metabolic health pioneer Dr. Nasha Winters (who insists we call her Nasha) to explore the powerful intersection of cancer, ultra-processed foods, metabolism, and sovereignty. Nasha shares her astonishing personal story: years of dismissed symptoms, normalized suffering, and relentless gaslighting that culminated in a diagnosis of end-stage ovarian cancer at age 19—and being sent home to die. Thirty-four years later, she's very much alive and leading a global movement to rethink cancer as a metabolic, terrain-driven disease rather than a purely genetic accident. We talk about how ultra-processed foods don't just starve our mitochondria—they starve our sovereignty, hijack our decision-making, and fracture our relationship with our own bodies. Along the way, Nasha invites us to move away from perfectionism and fragility and toward aligned, values-based choices and fierce self-responsibility. In this episode, we explore: Nasha's "pain to purpose" story Chronic health issues from infancy through adolescence: PCOS, endometriosis, autoimmune issues, RA, IBS, thyroid dysfunction, and more—constantly normalized and medicated. Being diagnosed with end-stage ovarian cancer at 19, with full bowel obstruction, organ failure, metastasis, and "3 months to live." How being sent home to die became the catalyst for asking "Why?" and beginning her life's work. A metabolic and psychological reset Why a prolonged period of fasting (due to bowel obstruction) functioned as an unplanned metabolic intervention. How an accidental very high-dose psilocybin experience in 1991 fundamentally changed her perspective, reduced her fear of death, and gave her a will to live. The insight that cancer is not just genetic—but deeply tied to environment, metabolism, trauma, and disconnection from nature. Cancer as an ecosystem, not a battlefield What Nasha means by seeing the body as an ecosystem instead of a war zone. How we are in constant relationship with our internal and external environments—our bodies, food systems, and the land all reflecting each other. Ultra-processed foods and cancer terrain Why ultra-processed foods are "as genetically mismatched as it gets" for humans. How UPFs impact all the hallmarks of cancer—driving inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and brain hijacking. The role of emulsifiers, preservatives, seed oils, and other additives in damaging the gut, microbiome, and immune surveillance. Why "a little" ultra-processed food isn't neutral for people with a vulnerable system—and why in her oncology population, UPF often has to be all-or-nothing. Metabolic sovereignty vs. perfectionism Nasha's powerful idea that UPFs don't just starve our mitochondria—they starve our sovereignty. What it means to choose health as alignment, not achievement. How social pressure, cultural norms, and "moderation" language rob people of agency. Practical examples of reclaiming sovereignty: bringing your own wine, your own safe foods, and modeling a different way without preaching. Working with food addiction and emotional eating (without shame) How she meets people gently where they are, especially those whose only "comfort" has been food. "Upgrading" comfort foods and using cooking and eating as a creative, relational, and communal act rather than a shame-based one. Her boundary as a clinician: "I'm not willing to work harder than you." How that shifted outcomes and reduced codependency. Community, clinicians, and doing this together How she used farmers' markets and health-food store "field trips" as non-shaming education: reading labels together, swapping recipes, and making it fun. Seasonal group cleanses and experiments that removed UPFs without moralizing and re-connected people to real food. Justice, food deserts, and real solutions Stories from working in Indigenous and low-resource communities and helping reintroduce native seeds and traditional foodways. The Food-as-Medicine movement: projects like FreshRx, where CSA boxes for people with type 2 diabetes significantly lowered A1C and healthcare costs. Why she believes, increasingly, that the resources are there—and the work now is connection, awareness, and community organizing. A hopeful vision for the next 5 years Policy shifts around dietary guidelines and school food. Regenerative agriculture movements, farmer-led organizations, and bringing environmental, metabolic, mental health, and food systems together under one roof. Her dream project: a 1,200-acre regenerative farm, intentional community, and metabolic oncology hospital in Arizona. One small step you can take this week Start with non-judgmental awareness: a simple food and feeling diary. Her "triage" before reaching for UPFs: Big glass of water A bit of protein A bit of fat Then the UPF if you still truly want it—no self-punishment. How small wins ("I didn't eat the thing") build fierceness and confidence over time. Our signature question What Nasha would tell her younger self about ultra-processed foods: "I'm choosing health as alignment, not as achievement." Using food choices to align with who you really are and who you're becoming, rather than chasing perfection or performance.

What if you could block your sugar cravings at the source—and retrain your metabolism to crave health instead of glucose spikes?

What if the real action in cancer isn't in the genome, but upstream in the mitochondria and the metabolic “terrain” that shapes every signal your cells send and receive? We sit down with Dr Nasha Winters to rethink cancer as an ecologic disease and explore how shifting the terrain can change outcomes without rejecting standard care.We dig into why ketones are more than fuel. Nasha explains how a therapeutic ketotic state—reached through fasting, carb restriction, or exogenous support—can lower inflammatory cytokines, dial down insulin and IGF-1, reduce angiogenic drive, and directly influence the vagus nerve to move the body into a healing state. You'll hear practical ways to pair ketosis with radiation, hyperbaric oxygen, and hyperthermia to both enhance efficacy and protect healthy tissue, plus real markers to track progress, from GKI and CRP to LDH and organic acids.Skeptical about “alternative” claims? So is Nasha—until the data line up. We talk pharmacogenomics, validated drug-sensitivity testing, and the smart use of repurposed meds like metformin, low-dose naltrexone, and mebendazole when the biology says they fit. We also connect longevity and cancer prevention through mitochondrial health: strategic fasting, urolithin A, melatonin, vitamin D, circadian repair, and toxin reduction all play a role in building metabolic flexibility. To close, Nasha unveils her vision for a residential, integrative hospital and research institute on a regenerative farm, where tumor experts and terrain experts co-manage under one roof—data first, dogma last.If this conversation expanded your map of what's possible in oncology and longevity, follow the show, share it with someone who needs options, and leave a review with the biggest insight you're taking into your own care.https://drnasha.com/Lies I Taught In Medical School : Free sample chapter- https://www.robertlufkinmd.com/lies/Complete Metabolic Heart Scan (LUFKIN20 for 20% off) https://www.innerscopic.com/Fasting Mimicking Diet (20% off) https://prolonlife.com/Lufkin At home blood testing (20% off) https://siphoxhealth.com/lufkin Web: https://robertlufkinmd.com/X: https://x.com/robertlufkinmdYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/robertLufkinmdInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertlufkinmd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertlufkinmd/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@robertlufkinThreads: https://www.threads.net/@robertlufkinmdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/robertlufkinmd Bluesky: ...

What if the root cause of heart disease isn't cholesterol… but metabolic dysfunction?In this powerful episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Dr. Philip C. Ovadia — a board-certified cardiothoracic surgeon, metabolic health expert, and author of Stay Off My Operating Table. Once an overweight surgeon facing his own pre-diabetes, Dr. Ovadia reversed his health through a low-carb, nutrient-dense lifestyle and discovered something medicine had missed for decades: that heart disease isn't a plumbing problem — it's a metabolic one. Together, we explore how the medical system lost its way, why lowering cholesterol hasn't fixed heart disease, and how insulin resistance, inflammation, and lifestyle are at the true core of cardiovascular dysfunction. We also talk about the courage it takes to question medical dogma — and why doing so may be the only way to reclaim real health. Dr. Ovadia's mission today is simple but revolutionary: to keep people off the operating table by empowering them to understand, measure, and repair their own metabolic health. His work is a bridge between cardiology and oncology, reminding us that nearly all chronic disease stems from the same broken terrain.Connect with Dr. Philip Ovadia: WebsiteStay Off My Operating Table BookYoutubeFacebookInstagram About Your HostI'm Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

In this illuminating episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Jane Hogan, known as The Wellness Engineer — a woman who transformed her own crippling rheumatoid arthritis into a catalyst for deep healing and purpose. After reversing her pain naturally, Jane left behind a 30-year engineering career to help thousands of others rewire their relationship with pain through science, breath, and self-compassion. Blending functional medicine, neuroscience, and ancient wisdom, Jane teaches that pain isn't just a physical condition — it's the body's way of asking for safety. Together, we explore how to move beyond management into true transformation by calming the nervous system and reclaiming your power as the engineer of your own healing. Jane's story is living proof that chronic pain can become the very teacher that leads us back to wholeness. Her message is both scientific and soulful — that healing doesn't come from fighting the body, but from teaching it how to feel safe again.If you've ever been told your pain is permanent, this conversation will help you see it through a new lens — one of hope, empowerment, and possibility.Connect with Jane: Website: https://thewellnesssengineer.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/JaneHoganHealth/videosFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/janehoganhealthInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewellnessengineerAbout Your HostI'm Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority, best-selling author, and educator in the emerging field of integrative oncology and terrain-based cancer care.

Send us a textThis week on The Less Stressed Life, we're digging into a bold reframe of cancer: it's not just about the tumor, it's about the terrain. Dr. Nasha Winters and I explore how nervous system state, mitochondrial health, oxygen, light, and circadian rhythm shape resilience and healing. We talk about why standard treatments often fall flat without nervous system regulation, how modern inputs overload our mitochondria, and the simple daily habits that create measurable shifts in terrain.If you've ever wondered why some therapies don't stick—or how breathwork, fasting, light, and minerals could matter just as much as labs and scans—this conversation connects the dots.Find both Dr. Nasha's education courses & books here: https://drnasha.com/books-and-educationKEY TAKEAWAYS:Your nervous system is step zero—nothing works if you're stuck in fight-or-flightMitochondria are the hub of terrain and energy productionOxygen and breathwork are underrated tools in prevention and recoveryDaily rhythm matters: sunrise/sunset light, post-meal walks, and overnight fastingSome “healthy” supplements (iron, calcium, glutathione, methyl donors) can fuel cancer if misusedTiming is everything—especially with red light therapyABOUT GUEST: Dr. Nasha Winters is a global leader in integrative oncology and the author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. With decades of experience, she bridges conventional care with metabolic and complementary therapies while making complex science feel accessible and empowering. Her passion lies in helping people understand their bodies, build resilience, and embrace new possibilities for healing. WHERE TO FIND:Website: https://drnasha.com/ Facebook: https://www.instagram.com/drnashawinters/Practitioner Directory: https://www.mtih.org/WHERE TO FIND CHRISTA:Website: https://www.christabiegler.com/Instagram: @anti.inflammatory.nutritionistPodcast Instagram: @lessstressedlifeYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@lessstressedlifeNUTRITION PHILOSOPHY OF LESS STRESSED LIFE:

In this episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. — investigative science journalist, bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise, and founder of the Nutrition Coalition. Nina's fearless work has challenged decades of nutrition dogma, exposed the shaky science propping up our national dietary guidelines, and sparked a global rethink of how we eat. Her reporting on seed oils and trans fats pulled back the curtain on how industry, politics, and media shaped what we've been told about food — and why so much of it was wrong. What began as a single assignment became a decades-long investigation into fat, food, and the politics of nutrition science. Upcoming EventI am thrilled to share that Nina Teicholz, Ph.D. will be joining us as a special guest at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025.

On this episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry Nickelston sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters, a global thought leader in integrative oncology and author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. Together, they dive into the revolutionary framework Dr. Winters has developed to help patients and practitioners alike rethink cancer care. This conversation explores how metabolic health, bio-individualized therapies, and the power of nutrition can shift the way we approach prevention, treatment, and long-term healing. Highlights from Dr. Winters' book include: How cancer is not just a genetic disease but a metabolic one, deeply tied to cellular energy and mitochondrial function. The role of the ketogenic diet and therapeutic nutrition in starving cancer cells while nourishing healthy tissues. The impact of toxin exposure and why reducing environmental and lifestyle stressors is key to healing. The importance of balancing the terrain—hormones, inflammation, immune function, microbiome, and emotional resilience. Using bio-individualized therapies—tailoring interventions to each person's unique biology rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Why building metabolic flexibility and resilience isn't just for cancer patients, but a roadmap for all of us who want to live healthier, longer, more vibrant lives. This episode is a must-listen if you want to understand the future of cancer care through the lens of whole-body healing. Website for Dr. Winters Book Purchase here

In this deeply moving episode of Metabolic Matters, I sit down with my dear friend and colleague, Gail Fuller, a farmer, healer, and visionary who has redefined what it means to steward both land and life. Gail's journey took him from running a 3,200-acre industrial corn and soybean operation to nurturing a 162-acre regenerative food farm. Along the way, he discovered that true healing—whether of soil, food, or self—begins with remembering our relationship to nature.What unfolds in our conversation is not just about farming. It's about trauma and truth, community and courage, soil and soul. Gail courageously shares his personal reckoning with mental health and the silent crisis faced by farmers across America, reminding us that healing our land and healing ourselves are inseparable journeys.Upcoming EventI am thrilled to share that Gail will be joining us as a speaker at the Metabolic Health Day Conference, happening October 9–11, 2025. Alongside leading voices in medicine, science, and ecology, Gail will help us explore how reconnecting with the land can transform our health from the ground up.

Dr. Nasha Winters shares her extraordinary journey from being diagnosed with terminal cancer at age 19 to becoming a pioneering force in metabolic oncology. Given just months to live and unable to receive chemotherapy, she embarked on a quest to understand cancer that led to groundbreaking insights about its metabolic and mitochondrial origins.Winters challenges the conventional genetic theory of cancer, explaining how our bodies' "terrain" - influenced by nutrition, stress, toxins, and lifestyle - creates an environment where cancer either thrives or struggles. She details how modern life's rapid changes overwhelm our mitochondria, potentially leading to cancer when these cellular powerhouses can't properly process information.Most provocatively, Dr. Winters reveals how aggressive cancer treatments can sometimes strengthen cancer by killing weaker cells while allowing stronger ones to thrive. She advocates for a balanced approach combining targeted conventional treatments with strategies to strengthen the body's terrain.The conversation explores her innovative projects including a metabolic cancer data platform, specialized supplements, a research laboratory, and plans for an integrative oncology hospital on an organic farm in Arizona - all designed to revolutionize how we understand and treat cancer.BIG IDEACancer isn't simply genetic bad luck but rather a metabolic disease influenced by our environment, nutrition, and lifestyle - and by understanding these factors, we can dramatically improve prevention and treatment outcomes.Narsha Winters contact info•Website:  https://www.drnasha.com/•Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/drnashawinters/•X:  https://twitter.com/drnashawinters•LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/nasha-winters-796374b6/•Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/drnashainc•YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@DrNashaInc•Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@drnashawinters•Book: The Metabolic Approach to CancerSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.
