About this episode
Dr. Nasha Winters shares her journey from cancer patient to expert in metabolic oncology, emphasizing the importance of addressing metabolic dysfunction in cancer and chronic disease treatment.
Dr. Nasha Winters is a naturopathic physician with a deeply powerful story. Diagnosed with stage IV cancer at age 19 and given just a few months to live, she embarked on a relentless journey to self-education and integrative healing that ultimately saved her life. Now a leading expert in metabolic oncology, Dr. Nasha is passionate in her mission to transform healthcare by addressing underlying metabolic dysfunction that fuels not only cancer, but virtually all chronic diseases. Dr. Nasha Winters has a message of empowerment for cancer patients: by understanding and correcting the terrain of the body rather than merely attacking the tumor, we can shift from a disease-centered model to one rooted in true healing and prevention for everyone. This message will resonate not only in cancer, but also for anyone wanting to treat or prevent chronic disease.
