When facing a diagnosis like cancer, a well-designed, research-driven plan is essential. Although I am not an oncologist, my personal experiences and professional dedication to integrative and functional medicine have shaped my approach. I was diagnosed with melanoma at 28, lost my father to cancer when he was just 53, and have spent the last twenty years studying the causes, treatments, and solutions in functional and integrative medicine. For the past seven years, I’ve also worked at one of the country’s top integrative cancer and wellness centers, learning from some of the leading experts in integrative oncology.
Over the years, I’ve helped hundreds of patients implement this comprehensive plan, which I’ve applied to myself, my family, and my patients. My role has been that of an unbiased, experienced guide—a “third-party quarterback” steering them through their journey with the knowledge I’ve gained.
Cancer care shouldn’t leave patients feeling powerless or uncertain. Yet, when I was first diagnosed, I felt exactly that: unsure, fearful, and vulnerable. Despite being fit and healthy, I couldn’t understand how cancer had happened to me. When I asked doctors what had caused it or what else I could do, their only answer was sunscreen. That response never quite resonated with me, and I sensed there had to be more to the story.
Looking back, I realize that what I lacked was a plan—a way forward that could give me confidence and reduce my fear. Every small symptom filled me with worry: had the cancer come back? Had it spread? For those going through this right now, you know this feeling well. But over time, through learning and implementing a deeper plan, I regained a sense of control and peace. I no longer live in fear, and while no approach is foolproof, the security this plan provides is invaluable.
The power in this plan lies in helping patients become active participants in their own healing journey. Too often in conventional medicine, patients feel like passive recipients of care, entirely dependent on their doctors.
My goal is simply share what I learned so you have control of the outcome and a plan that gives you the absolute best chance to win!
This 4 Tiered plan is broken into four key phases:
Tier 1 - Proper Testing
Tier 2 - Starve and Kill Phase
Tier 3 - Supportive Care/Cell Support Phase
Tier 4 - Finding and Fixing Causes
Let's break each down
Effective testing is essential for developing a personalized plan. This includes:
Additionally, testing for Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs), which may indicate recurrence, is critical. Without this, recurrence risks increase. I strongly recommend all the above tests.
We’ll also test for root causes of cancer—like inflammation and metabolic dysfunction—that may contribute to cell damage. Identifying and addressing these causes is crucial for healing. These will be discussed In Tier 4.
Starve Phase:
Kill Phase:
I recommend working with an oncologist and integrative specialists for the Kill Phase. These treatments, while necessary for many, should be part of a comprehensive plan, not the sole focus.
This phase focuses on supporting your body through aggressive treatments, while also improving the cancer environment:
These strategies are essential for improving your cells healing capacity and improving your quality of life during treatment.
Remember the concept ultimately causing cancer...
Inflammation - Fee Radicals (oxidative stress) - Damage to DNA and Mitochondria - Cancer
To truly heal, we need to address the root causes of cancer. This includes:
Identifying and correcting these factors is crucial for long-term healing.
It is individualized, researched, and multi layered with the goal of leaving no stone unturned.
My role, as an experienced functional medicine practitioner, is serve as an unbiased guide through this process. My goal is to ensure no stone is left unturned, helping you navigate the overwhelming and confusing journey to healing.
