What if your body isn't broken, but speaking a language you haven't learned to understand yet?

Whether you’re facing chronic pain, mysterious symptoms, or serious illness, this conversation makes the case that your body deserves your curiosity, not your fear. 

And that partnership between you and your physical self? That's where real healing begins. Dr. Katie even shares how the app helped her uncover the emotional link behind her own knee pain.

What if cancer is a teacher inviting you to uncover the imbalances in your life?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Brandon LaGreca, an licensed acupuncturist, author, and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who once faced stage IV lymphoma, to explore a completely different lens on cancer.

Brandon shares how Chinese medicine views cancer not as bad luck, but as a messenger pointing toward imbalances in our emotional, physical, and spiritual lives.

He breaks down the difference between *how* we get cancer (external carcinogens) and *why* we get cancer (internal emotional patterns), offering a framework that finally makes sense of why some people develop cancer while others don't.

Chapters:
00:05:00 - The Type C Personality: Who Gets Cancer?
00:10:00 - Understanding Stress vs. Trauma
00:15:00 - Cancer as Teacher, Not Enemy
00:18:00 - Let Death Find You Alive
00:36:00 - The Five Elements and Emotional Roots of Cancer

Learn why people-pleasers are more susceptible to cancer and how different emotional patterns show up as cancer in specific organs. Brandon also shares his personal journey through stage four lymphoma and the profound shift that came from viewing cancer as an invitation to restore agency and live more authentically.

You'll discover how cancer can become your greatest teacher if you're willing to listen, and why restoring agency and accentuating life matter more than simply extending it.

Listen and hear, Brandon's personal vision that helped him outlive his prognosis and discover how confronting mortality can actually bring you back to life.

What if the most profound grief could coexist with the deepest gratitude?

When Christie Miller lost her husband Mark to cancer just seven weeks before this conversation, she made a choice that might surprise you.  Dr. Katie Deming sits down with her to explore how someone can navigate devastating loss while finding meaning, purpose, and even peace in the process.

Christie is a mindset coach who has walked through her own cancer diagnosis and now the loss of her soulmate of 37 years. Her approach challenges everything we've been taught about "proper" grieving, showing how you can feel the full weight of loss while also excavating profound gifts from the experience.

Chapters:
00:09:00 - Grief Is the Tax on Love
00:28:25 - The Hug Sweatshirt

Stay until the end to hear how Christie prepared for Mark's transition, why she believes everything happens with divine timing, and how her perspective on her own cancer diagnosis has completely shifted since his passing.

Listen and learn how to transform your relationship with loss, find purpose in pain, and discover that healing doesn't always look the way we expect.

What if the very services meant to ease your symptoms could also extend your life and yet most people don’t learn about them until it’s far too late?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Lisa Tartaglia, a dual board-certified palliative care and hospice physician, to clear up the confusion around two of healthcare's most misunderstood services.

You'll discover the real difference between palliative care and hospice, and why both focus on helping you live fully rather than simply managing decline.  Her approach challenges the common belief that these services are only for the final days of life. Dr. Tartaglia reveals why patients who receive hospice services earlier often live longer and with greater peace, plus the specific questions to ask when evaluating providers in your area.

Chapters:
05:10 Why symptoms matter more than stage
13:20 Meeting patients where they are
23:55 How a palliative consult actually works
35:45 What hospice really provides at home
42:30 How to choose the right hospice

Dr. Tartaglia shares her unique perspective as someone who's guided thousands of families through these decisions over two decades of practice. This conversation offers practical guidance you won't find in most doctor's offices. Dr. Tartaglia explains when someone qualifies for these services, how to choose the right provider, and why early involvement leads to better outcomes.

You’ll learn how to have conversations with your healthcare team about symptom management and quality of life services. They also discuss why staying true to yourself, rather than identifying completely with your diagnosis, plays a crucial role in your healing journey.

Listen and understand how these services could transform your experience with chronic illness, whether you're dealing with cancer, heart failure, or other challenging health conditions.

What would happen if you pressed pause on everything, food, routines, even the noise of everyday life and gave your body the space to speak?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Faith Laux, a somatic sex and relationship coach who faced stage 4 colon cancer and turned to a 14-day water fast. What unfolded went far beyond physical detox. Faith describes how stillness opened her to a sense of presence, connection, and clarity she never expected.

Chapters:
00:08:00 – Day six brings clarity and presence
00:21:09 – Childlike wonder in nature returns
00:26:28 – Shifting from busyness to presence
00:35:15 – Heightened senses and new nourishment
00:51:31 – Rituals, reminders, and lasting change

Together they explore what it means to see fasting not just as a physical reset, but as a sacred appointment with the divine. You’ll hear how moments of simplicity, like sitting barefoot in the grass or savoring the smell of her daughter’s breakfast became doorways into profound healing.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fatigue, cravings, or the relentless pace of life, this conversation will invite you to imagine a different way. One that isn’t about restriction, but about discovering what truly nourishes you; body, mind, and spirit.

Listen and learn how slowing down might just be the most powerful step you can take toward healing.

What if the most powerful cancer treatment costs nothing and has been hiding in plain sight for over a century?

Join Dr. Katie Deming MD as she sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters, who survived terminal ovarian cancer at age 19 without conventional treatment. Dr. Winters now trains doctors worldwide in metabolic approaches that challenge everything we've been taught about cancer and healing.

Dr. Deming brings her insider perspective from 20 years in conventional oncology, while Dr. Winters reveals why she accidentally discovered one of medicine's most suppressed healing tools. They examine the fascinating battle between two cancer theories that will completely change how you think about your health and why the losing theory from 100 years ago might hold the key to everything.

Chapters:

00:15:14 - Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer at 19
00:23:32 - Functional Medicine vs. Metabolic Approach

What lifestyle choices can reduce your risk before cancer develops? (Video Re- Release - Watch here: https://youtu.be/fAZ81saCTOA?si=3PipGywmSY5mOlxS)

Dr. Katie Deming sat down with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, professor of biology at Boston College and author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease.

Together, they explore how cancer cells depend on sugar and glutamine for fuel, why the mitochondria, not DNA mutations, may be at the heart of the disease, and what this understanding means for prevention and treatment.

Key Highlights:

• Can dietary changes, fasting, and exercise support treatment once cancer is diagnosed? 
• Why should patients and doctors pay attention to the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) to measure how the body is fueling itself?
• What can you do today to reduce your risk of chronic illness?

Dr. Seyfried explains the Warburg Effect, the role of dysfunctional mitochondria in cancer growth, and why standard treatments may sometimes work against us by feeding cancer's energy needs.

Listen, learn the surprising story of how weight loss, not a new drug, led to dramatic tumor reduction in lab studies.
