Episode #262: Dr. Nasha Winters: Understanding the Metabolic Approach to Cancer

Have you ever wondered if there's more to cancer treatment than just chemotherapy and radiation? In this Longevity Podcast episode, I talk with Dr. Nasha Winters to discuss the often-overlooked mental and emotional aspects of healing from cancer. Dr. Winters, a stage 4 ovarian cancer survivor of over 30 years, shares her incredible journey and the unconventional approach that transformed her health and career. 

We discuss the concept of "10 drops in the bucket" - factors that contribute to cancer development and overall health, including genetics, metabolism, toxins, microbiome, immune system, inflammation, circulation, hormones, circadian rhythm, and stress. We also dive into an integrative approach, combining the best of conventional and alternative treatments, tailored to each individual's needs, the concept of metronomic chemotherapy - using lower doses more frequently, potentially reducing side effects while maintaining efficacy, psychedelic therapy (mushrooms), and much more.  

Dr. Nasha Winters is an integrative oncology specialist, author of "The Metabolic Approach to Cancer” and “Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology,” host of the Metabolic Matters podcast, and Executive Director of the nonprofit organization, the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health (MTIH).
