Key Takeaways:  How to outsmart cancer  Ways to create a body where cancer cannot thrive  The link between cancer risk and aging  Learn about the OUTSMART CANCER® System  Power super foods that can be targeted  Top supplements to taking  Episode Summary:  Integrative Cancer Answers is the fruit of Dr. Nalini Chilkov's thirty years of experience transforming the cancer journey for thousands of patients worldwide. Her OUTSMART CANCER® System offers plans that are recognized as the most comprehensive, safe and effective doctor-designed programs available today.  On my next YOUNGER podcast episode, you will meet my good friend Dr. Chilkov who will share her significant pathways to creating a body where cancer cannot thrive.  You will hear the answers to your Qs answered, such as:  What does “creating a body where cancer cannot thrive” really mean?  What is the link between aging and cancer?  How does your OutSmart Cancer System slow down and prevent the physiology of aging to contribute to the development of cancer? Guest Bio:   Dr. Nalini Chilkov is the Founder of IntegrativeCancerAnswers.com, the creator of the OUTSMART CANCER® System the author of the best-selling book, “Thirty-Two Ways to OutSmart Cancer: How to Create a Body in Which Cancer Cannot Thrive.”   Dr. Chilkov is a leading-edge authority on Integrative Cancer Care, Immune Enhancement, Optimal Nutrition and Wellness Medicine. Dr. Nalini's OutSmart Cancer Programs are recognized as the most comprehensive, science based, safe, natural programs for supporting cancer patients, cancer survivors and those who do not want to get cancer to Get Well, Stay Well and Live Well beyond cancer.   For over thirty years, Dr. Chilkov has helped thousands of people, many with serious and chronic illnesses, achieve and maintain extraordinary health and longevity and is sought out by Award Winning Hollywood celebrities and insiders.   Dr. Chilkov has been recognized and listed as a GO TO health care provider and clinician in Susanne Sommer's book, “Doctors Who Are Curing Cancer and How to Prevent Getting It in the First Place.”   Dr. Chilkov is one of the original Huffington Post's “Healthy Living Bloggers” and has appeared as a health expert on NBC TV, as well as, has been recognized by WebMD [sharecare.com] as one of the Top Ten Online Influencers in Breast Cancer.   Resources for a Younger Lifestyle:  Additional YOUNGER podcast episodes related to gut health: https://robynbenson.com/podcasts/   Episode #86: Demystifying Detox with Dr. Robyn Benson  Episode #25: Optimize Your Mitochondrial Health with Shawn Wells  Episode #20: Your Gut, Your Health, Your Wealth with Dr. Vincent Pedre  Episode #11: The Truth About Parasites in America with Dr. Glenn Wilcox  Episode #5: Your Health, Your Gut, Your Microbiome with Ken Brown, MD  Episode #2: Your Food, Your Health, Your Wealth with Terry Wahls, MD   Quotes:  “I find it disturbing to know when a cancer patient is in an oncology office, the word health rarely comes up in the conversation. This gives the patient a helpless feeling and can be interpreted that it isn't part of their goal for the patient.”  “Since I had direct experience with both parents diagnosed with cancer, I discovered what patients and families want the most which is to get their health back.  Once the doctor can accomplish this with the patient will not live in fear with the thought of cancer reoccurring again.”  “You can boost your immune system and increase Natural Killer cells.”  “Proactive cancer patients need to know there are specific herbs and supplements that are best used for EVERY STAGE of their cancer journey.”
