| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone, my name is Kea Paroet. I'm one of the producers of the Doctors Pharmacy |
| 0:04.2 | Podcast and the director of Dr. Mark Hyman's new longevity roadmap docu series, which is now |
| 0:10.0 | live. Today we wanted to give you a sneak peek of episode three of this docu series. |
| 0:15.3 | In today's episode, Dr. Mark Hyman and his team at the Ultra Wellness Center discuss |
| 0:19.3 | the functional medicine approach to cancer, and why it's important to focus on the soil or the |
| 0:23.8 | terrain in which cancer grows. They discuss how genetics might load the gun, but environment pulls |
| 0:29.0 | the trigger. Here's the first 15 minutes of episode three, the functional medicine approach to cancer. |
| 0:45.7 | Cancer is scary. I can't think of anyone who hasn't been affected by this disease in some |
| 0:50.8 | shape or form or way. In my family, my sister and my father both die from cancer. I see so many |
| 0:57.8 | patients who are recovering from cancer and they don't want it to recur. I see patients who |

| 1:18.1 | I don't want you to feel helpless when it comes to this disease, which so, so many people often |
| 1:23.2 | feel. When it comes to prevention and even how to improve outcomes from treatment, functional |
| 1:28.8 | medicine takes a very specific approach to cancer. And don't get me wrong, conventional medicine |
| 1:35.6 | is absolutely necessary. And once you have cancer, an integrated approach of chemo, radiation |
| 1:42.4 | and surgery combined with boosting your immune system and making your body an unfriendly place |
| 1:48.6 | for cancer to grow or come back is really essential. The problem is that most patients don't get taught |
| 1:55.6 | how to do the second part. I remember one patient shed three different cancers. Her doctors |
| 2:02.4 | just wanted her to do what we call active surveillance, which is just doing scans and tests to see |
| 2:07.6 | if it comes back. There's nothing active about that. It's passive. Just wait and see and hope it |
| 2:12.6 | doesn't come back and hopefully we catch it early. And it's terrifying for most people who are |
