Today on the root cause medicine podcast, the development of cancer is really multifactorial,

and that's why I think integrated medicine is so crucial for it. The factors that I really

think about when we're looking at the carcinogenesis, which is basically the formation of cancer,

are environmental factors, so environmental toxins or pollutions, the immune system.

Your immune system is your

Henry, and on this episode, I'm interviewing Dr. Sonia Malani. Dr. Malani is a board-certified

naturopathic oncologist who specializes

in cancer care, pain management, and palliative medicine. Her clinical interests include cancer

prevention, precision oncology, and addressing metabolic comorbidities in oncology patients.

She also is a researcher and studies the use of phytomedicines in tandem with oncology standards of care to decrease side effects and increase chemosensitivity so that patients get the best outcomes.

You will love today's conversation if you or a loved one have cancer or if you're someone who's interested in what you can do to reduce your risk of getting cancer,

based on the evidence. Dr. Malani walks us through how integrative oncology is upping chances of

survival, what precision oncology means, how psychedelics can be used in cancer care,

what really feeds cancer cells, and the best way to prevent cancer based on the science.

You'll want to send this episode to someone who's interested in learning the truth about what truly works in cancer care

so that they can thrive during and after cancer treatment.

You'll feel hopeful at the end of this episode, and I'm really excited to dive into it.

And that, of course, is lab testing. You see, testing is one essential way to understand the root cause of an illness.
