I can’t emphasize enough how closely the health of our microbiome is tied to the health of nearly every system and function in our body.

From the personal experience of navigating through my own health issues in my 20's, I came to realize that my gut health was key in healing everything else that needed to be healed.

Please read and share my latest blog, "How the Microbiome Influences the Development and Progression of Cancer," with anyone you know affected by cancer.

Unresolved food reactions, whether allergies, sensitivities, or intolerances, can quietly sabotage cancer treatment and recovery by damaging the gut microbiome, triggering inflammation, and overwhelming the immune system.

While food allergies spark immediate immune responses, sensitivities cause delayed and harder-to-detect symptoms, and intolerances stem from enzyme deficiencies. All three can disrupt gut balance and healing.

For those facing cancer, these reactions aren’t minor... they're messages from the body. By identifying triggers and restoring gut health, one can strengthen his/her immunity, reduce inflammation, and improve treatment outcomes. Food isn’t just about nourishment. It’s a powerful partner in the healing journey. Read more in my latest blog.

If you or anyone you know has or has had cancer, this is information you DEFINITELY WANT TO READ and pass along! Did you know that the gut microbiome is intimately connected to many serious diseases, including CANCER? Yes, that's right! This is one topic that I'm extremely passionate about. It's shocking to me that it is NEVER addressed by Western Medicine or Conventional Oncology.

Your Gut-Microbiome is not only responsible for digestion, but your immunity, and your body's ability to fight and/or develop cancer. In the next few weeks, I'll be sharing a lot about this topic but for now, check out my blog called "Microbiome Matters: The Intimate Link Between Gut Health and Cancer."

While scary, most cases of thyroid cancer are highly treatable and curative. Still, the journey can be quite emotional and physically stressful. Understanding the nature of the disease, its causes, symptoms, treatment options, and lingering side-effects can allow those affected to make informed, confident decisions about their care.

As an integrative oncology specialist, I often emphasize the importance of supportive therapies that work alongside conventional treatments like chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. One powerful and evidence-informed modality in this space is oncology acupuncture.
If you've never heard of it, or are wondering how it's different from traditional acupuncture, this blog will walk you through what oncology acupuncture is, who is qualified to provide it, the benefits it offers for those facing cancer, and why it deserves a place in your care plan.

Additionally, there are 16 bacteria and 5 fungi that are known to disturb the oral microbiome, giving rise to this these kinds of cancers, as well as esophageal, colorectal and pancreatic cancers.

When most people hear about the human papillomavirus (HPV), they immediately think of cervical cancer. However, research has shown a strong connection between HPV and cancers of the head, neck, and throat. If you have one of these kinds of cancer, it's important to be tested for HPV. Check out my latest blog with more info.
