When it comes to treating cancer, conventional medicine is good at cutting it, burning it, and poisoning it, but many oncologists fail to address the root cause. Join me as I speak with Dr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO, about the importance of a terrain-based approach when it comes to treating cancer. Dr. Winters shares the ten key elements of a patient’s “terrain” that are crucial to preventing and managing cancer. We discuss the importance of listening deeply to the cells of the body (with labs, molecular profiling, epigenetic testing, and more), metabolically supporting the body’s terrain (with a therapeutic diet, oxidative therapies, and stress reduction), and recognizing that the body has an inherent ability to heal.
What you'll learn from this episode:

• Why addressing the body’s internal terrain is not only critical in prevention but also in the treatment of cancer
• How to address metabolic dysfunction
• Limitations of conventional cancer treatment
• Lifestyle strategies integral for not only prevention but also better treatment outcomes
• The importance of emotional healing in the cancer journey
• & So much more!
