KEY POINTS

[0:0:32] Astonishingly, integrative and holistic approaches to cancer treatment have been shown to drastically improve survival rates and save lives.

[0:6:48] By taking a holistic approach to treating cancer, Naturopathic Oncology has been proven to dramatically improve patient outcomes - not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too!

[0:7:19] By shifting your mindset from "why is this happening to me" to "how can this challenge serve me," you can unlock a world of powerful possibilities and experience growth, healing, and profound appreciation.

[0:9:36] Cancer is a devastating, multifaceted disease that demands comprehensive and expert treatment for the best chance of success.

[0:14:38] Cancer can be seen as a powerful catalyst that inspires individuals to re-examine and transform their mental, spiritual, and physical health.

[0:17:47] Surgery can cause cancer to spread more aggressively due to the disruption of tumor coordination and the activation of cancer stem cells - a potentially life-threatening consequence. To minimize this risk and ensure a healthier recovery, pre-surgery treatments that address the body as a whole are essential.

[0:19:25] Cancer stem cells, which can resist traditional treatments, have the potential to spark tumor initiation and growth - making anti-inflammatory and antioxidant strategies paramount for minimizing their activation and fighting cancer.

[0:24:9] Experience the power of natural remedies with PolyMVA, curcumin, vitamin C, ozone, and laser therapy – scientifically proven to reduce inflammation and invigorate stem cell activity!

[0:27:32] PDT is revolutionizing cancer treatment with its awe-inspiring ability to eradicate cancer cells and bolster the body's natural defense system using only the power of light!

[0:30:0] Utilizing innovative photodynamic therapy and stem cells/exosome-like vesicles, new breakthroughs in cancer treatment are being achieved, drastically increasing the efficacy of photosensitizers to effectively target and destroy tumors.

[0:31:27] By combining photodynamic therapy with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, patients can experience powerful oxidation benefits, dramatically increasing the oxygen content in their tissue.

[0:33:47] Consistently engaging in healthy habits can significantly reduce the risk of cancer recurrence, whereas a lapse in diet and exercise can have detrimental effects.

What exactly is collagen? Does it really support skin and joints?  And, most pressing: IS IT SAFE to take (in general? if you've had cancer?)  Tina and Leah answer all of this and more as they discuss one of the most popular functional foods available today.  

Did you know there are at least 28 different types of collagen in the human body?  It is by far the most abundant protein in humans, accounting for about 30% of the total protein content in the body. 

Collagen is a "scaffolding" protein because it has an integral role in the structure of organs and tissues.  But, in cancer care, this gets tricky. Tumors also have collagen as part of their make-up.  So, is the collagen within tumors friend or foe?  Should you be supporting its production or not? 

Listen in as Tina and Leah use the latest findings to discuss the risks and benefits of collagen from foods and supplements.

THANK YOU for listening!

In this episode of Side Eff@¢ks, Tina and Leah talk about poo that just won’t quit—diarrhea. No matter what the cause, this episode offers tips and advice about what you can do to normalize your bowel function.

Nearly every cancer treatment will affect bowel function, so diarrhea is not uncommon. Whether it is chemotherapy, surgery, radiation, immunological, or biological (targeted) therapy (or a combination!) the gut is most likely to be affected. Since rapidly dividing cells line the gastrointestinal tract, the result is often (although not always) loose stool/ diarrhea.

How about after treatment is over?

Having unpredictable/excessive bowel movements can be life-altering, and eventually affect your overall health too. 

Tina and Leah talk about how to sleuth the cause of loose stool. Then, as always, they give you some ideas of how to go about addressing the various causes.  (A review of digestive processes and an intro to this topic was done in the first podcast of this series: Bowel Changes.)

Do you have issues with constipation?  If so, today is your lucky day! 

This podcast is all about the sticky business of stuck bowels.  In our first episode of The Return of Side Eff@¢ks, we covered the basics of bowel function and touched on possible bowel issues encountered during treatment.  

In this episode, Tina and Leah talk about constipation from a naturopathic perspective. Whether during treatment or long after treatment has been completed, constipation can hamper your health. Since the movement of your bowels is a functional issue, and these docs have had more conversations about poo than most people, there is bound to be some info in here that's new to you.

So tune in and listen as Tina and Leah review what you can do to help yourself get (or stay!) regular.

Supplement use during and after cancer treatment is common. But do you really need to take supplements? How do you even begin to prioritize what (if any) supplements are right for you?
 
As naturopathic doctors, Tina and Leah talk about supplements all the time. In this episode, they open up about how they approach their use. Instead of saying, "must do this or that," they talk about how you can prioritize supplements.

And yes, they talk about times when supplements may not be appropriate too. As Kenny Rogers famously put it, "you gotta know when to hold 'em."

They talk pros and they talk cons. By the end of this episode, you will walk away with a better understanding of appropriate supplement use and a framework for their use.

To vegan or not to vegan? The 2017 movie What the Health? presents its case for adopting an animal-free diet, but does the science the filmmakers cite support their claims? 

In the latest pod, Tina and Leah go to the movies and review the first of three food-related films, separating the wheat from the chaff, fact from fiction.

Whether you’ve already seen the movie or not, you will want to hear their take!

Chemo brain, brain farts, brain fog, cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI)… no matter what you call it, it is a debilitating side effect that may persist for months or years after treatment ends. CRCI is more than just forgetting why you walked into a room or where you left your keys. You may find yourself struggling to remember a simple word or having a hard time concentrating on a single subject and don’t even mention multitasking!

In this last episode of the year, Dr. Tina Kaczor and Dr. Leah Sherman review the possible causes of CRCI and discuss ways that you can improve brain function. Neural plasticity, which is the ability to create new neural networks at ANY AGE, means that you have the potential for bettering brain function no matter what age you are. As always, you’ll learn a little, laugh a little, and by the end you will have ideas of how to optimize your own health. Thanks for listening!

Want to learn all about bone health? Then this is the episode for you! How does bone degrade? Who should be most concerned? How can you build bone? Are there certain nutritional supplements that can help? 

Fracture risk increases with age as our bones thin, but throw some cancer treatment into the mix and bone thinning can happen sooner and more rapidly (up to seven times faster following cancer treatments, according to ASCO). Loss of bone mineral density (known as osteopenia or osteoporosis) increases fracture risk. This is not only true for older cancer patients but young ones too. And bone loss may be late-onset, not showing up until decades following treatment. That means adult survivors of childhood cancers are at a higher risk.

In Episode 15 of The Cancer Pod, Tina and Leah discuss bone density, risk factors for osteopenia and osteoporosis, and how you can prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures. Tune in and share this episode with anyone you think is at risk of bone loss (it's not just for cancer survivors... aging itself is a risk factor).

Cancer-related fatigue (CrF) is common, both during treatment for cancer and afterward. Studies show up to 30% of cancer survivors experience fatigue for years following diagnosis. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill not getting a good night’s sleep or overdoing it at the gym fatigue. CrF is its own entity. It’s not relieved by sleep or rest and can be distressing, even life-altering. In this episode, Tina and Leah review the official contributing factors to CrF, and a few causes that aren’t found on the official list. Understanding how the adrenal glands are involved in CrF is essential, and they explain how the adrenals help you maintain energy. As always, at The Cancer Pod, we talk specifics about what you can do to improve your day-to-day. Fatigue is not something you have to live with!

Doctors' appointments can be overwhelming, especially after a cancer diagnosis. There are so many questions to ask even before walking into the office, and then once a treatment plan is presented there are even more questions.

On the latest episode of The Cancer Pod, Tina and Leah review some of the questions to bring up at an oncology appointment and offer some tips to help patients, both newly diagnosed and seasoned veterans, about what to bring to appointments. They even delve into the topic of what to do if you don't like your doctor or what happens if your doctor leaves you.

It's the first pod inspired by our listeners' requests! Talk to Your Doctor is a series of episodes about, well, how to talk to your doctor! Whether it's about integrative medicine or questions you might not have thought of, we'll try and cover it in this pod.

In the first episode of this series, we answer the question "how do I ask my doctor about integrative medicine?" According to the National Institute for Health, integrative oncology is a patient-centered, evidence-informed field that utilizes mind-body practices, lifestyle modifications, and/or natural products interwoven with conventional cancer treatment. It prioritizes safety and best available evidence to offer appropriate interventions alongside conventional care. That's literally their definition.

Patients are often reluctant to talk to their doctors about using therapies that might be outside of standard of care, and doctors don't always know how to advise their patients on the use of these therapies. As more patients are becoming aware of the potential benefits of these treatments, keeping an open dialog with their providers is key.

Talk to YOUR doctor if you think integrative medicine is for you.

Sleep disturbances may affect 40% of cancer survivors up to five years post treatment. In Episode 9 of Side Eff#%ks pod, Tina and Leah covered the causes of sleep disturbances and sleep hygiene, and now in Episode 10, they review integrative approaches to sleep management, including herbs and supplements that address anxiety and pain, which often contribute to insomnia. They also discuss cortisol’s association with waking up in the middle of the night. And since this is the last episode of this four-part pod (a first!), they introduce a Moment of Woo!

Good quality sleep is always important, but it becomes especially precious following a cancer diagnosis. A good night's sleep supports our immune system, our mood, and so much more. It helps our body and mind heal. Anxiety, depression, and pain are only a few common causes of sleep disruption. In the first of this two-part episode, Tina and Leah talk about sleep disturbances, sleep hygiene, and some basic approaches to managing insomnia.

It's here! The first in what we hope to be many episodes on cancer treatment-related side effects. The most common questions we get have to do with integrative oncology approaches to managing common, and not so common, side effects when patients go through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. (Immunotherapy and targeted therapies are included whenever we say "chemo.")

We kick off this first pod with our nausea and vomiting episode. We cover a number of causes for nausea and vomiting, how different medicines work, and of course, our favorite integrative medicine approaches. 

Talking about puking might trigger some folks, so there's a content warning at the beginning of this podcast. We must say the word "vomit" like a gazillion times. Oh, and I for sure though we were going to earn an Explicit on this episode but we decided to censor it and keep it clean for the kids.

Maybe you've heard this all before, maybe this information is new to you. We hope you enjoy listening. Remember to share The Cancer Pod podcasts if you think they might be helpful to someone you know.
