A multidisciplinary approach in cancer care is a positive and empowering experience where people can choose what they would like to be doing. Every tool and approach adds on to synergistically provide better support. This is what my guest, Dr Catherine Zollman, GP, medical director of Penny Brohn UK cancer charity, firmly believes in.
Catherine trained to registrar level in Medical Oncology before qualifying as a GP in 1995. She completed a Fellowship in Integrative Medicine at University of Arizona in 2010 and works part-time as an NHS GP and as GP Cancer Lead for the local Clinical Commissioning Group.
Today we talk about:
- The next generation of lifestyle medicine practitioners
- General principles of an anti-cancer diet
- Medical tests informing not directing treatment
- The rainbow of exercises and why moving has anti-cancer benefits
- Building resilience and how for some people, cancer is an opportunity to start thinking about what makes their life richer.
Plus a special guest appearance from Catherine’s son, Luke and his friend Louis who were helping out during the conference and are fans of the podcast who wanted to say hi!

| 0:40.8 | listen wherever you get your podcasts. Dr's Kitchen. Recipes Health Lifestyle. It's frustrating that I |
| 0:49.7 | think a lot of people in the cancer healthcare professions feel that people have got enough on |
| 0:56.0 | their plates and don't want to burden them with something extra like now we're going to talk to you |

| 1:29.1 | you are the centre of your own health creation team really as a as a as a patient and you should |
| 1:34.8 | always feel that way and it upsets me that people often feel like the cancer is such a scary |
| 1:40.3 | and high-tech condition and there's a whole industry around it that people feel I'll just leave |
| 1:46.2 | it to the experts. Welcome to the Doctors Kitchen podcast. To show about food, lifestyle, medicine |
