Born to Heal: Holistic Healing for Optimal Health

What do cravings, brain fog, and high blood pressure have in common?

Research suggests nearly 9 in 10 American adults fall short of optimal metabolic health. Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Brittney Zeedik to talk about what they see as the root, insulin resistance, and why it shows up as high blood pressure in one person and brain fog in another.

And that advice to keep snacking through the day? It may be working against you.
Brittney is an Insulin Resistance Coach. After losing her father to colon cancer, she came to see his psoriasis, high blood pressure, and gut trouble as warning signs nobody had connected. Dr. Katie fasts every month, who started out a skeptic until one ketone reading made her look twice.

If fasting leaves you shaky, if cravings run your day, or if your cholesterol results never quite make sense, this one’s for you. You’ll learn what insulin is doing inside your cells, why Dr. Katie looks past total cholesterol, and three simple habits you can start today.

What if every attempt to figure out your fear is feeding it, and the one thing that lets it go is the last thing you'd think to try?

Fear can be quietly expensive. It hums along in the background, takes a little energy here and a little there, and you may not even notice it's running. Dr. Katie Deming didn't notice hers for years. Her friends call her the most fearless person they know. Meanwhile, she'd wake up with a pit in her stomach, like something was wrong. What she uncovered about that fear caught her off guard.

Dr. Katie stopped reading books recently, yet two from the past month clicked together: Letting Go by psychiatrist David Hawkins, MD, PhD, and Existential Kink by Carolyn Elliott. She blends them into one practice that may sound strange at first. Then she tells you what happened when she tried it herself.

If you're healing from cancer or living with illness, this matters now. Dr. Katie explains how holding fear down uses up energy your body could put toward healing. You'll hear why thinking it through keeps you looping, why even expressing an emotion can backfire, and what shifted for her in just one week. The same practice applies to shame, guilt, anger, and jealousy.

Chapters:
00:03:11 - This Works for Shame, Guilt, and Anger Too
00:04:59 - Two Books That Tie This Together
00:07:22 - Why Expressing an Emotion Can Backfire
00:13:17 - How Thinking Feeds Your Fear
00:14:46 - What Surprised Dr. Katie About Her Own Fear
00:16:07 - The Energy That Came Back in One Week

00:17:19 - The Truth Behind Looking Fearless
00:18:50 - The Simple Practice for Any Emotion
00:19:53 - How Fear Can Interfere With Healing
00:20:30 - Why This Is an Ongoing Practice

Stay until the end as Dr. Katie lays out the practice in simple terms and explains why it works best as something you return to again and again.

Why do two people with the same diagnosis, the same treatment, and the same odds end up with completely different outcomes?

Dr. Katie Deming spent 20 years as a radiation oncologist before moving into integrative oncology. She watched some patients sail through the hardest treatments while others struggled with side effects she couldn't explain. 

Today she shares what she now believes sits underneath those differences, and it comes down to one word: frequency.

Dr. Katie brings in the work of psychiatrist David Hawkins, a story about a man whose daily menu would make any nutritionist wince, and what she's learned from guiding 150 people through water fasts. The most common result she sees probably isn't the one you'd guess.

If you eat clean, exercise, and still carry a quiet worry about your health, this one's for you. Dr. Katie explains why doing "all the right things" can sometimes work against you. Medical professionals will recognize her patient stories and you might recognize yourself.

Chapters:
00:06:13 - When Doing Everything Right Isn’t Enough
00:12:26 - The Energy Behind Your Healthy Choices
00:13:17 - What She Saw Treating Cancer Patients
00:14:30 - Two Very Different Cancer Experiences
00:17:32 - What Fasting Is Really Trying to Change
00:19:03 - The Outcome She Sees More Than Tumors Disappearing
00:20:19 - What Happens When the Fear Finally Lifts
00:21:55 - The Difference Between Treatment and Healing
00:24:14 - What a Healed Life Can Look Like

Stay until the end. Dr. Katie reveals what her fasters say they really walk away with, and why one simple choice afterward can shape everything that follows.

 What happens when the person who teaches authenticity loses her own voice? And what did her body do that finally made her stop and listen?

In this return episode, she opens up about what that break was really about and the lesson she didn't expect to learn.

After more than 20 years as a radiation oncologist, Dr. Katie Deming walked away from Western medicine to find what truly helps people heal. So it caught her off guard when a marketing strategy slowly pulled her off course. At first she felt a little stuck. Then she couldn't pick up the microphone at all.

Dr. Katie has now guided more than 150 people through water fasts, many with cancer and many without. That experience has changed how she sees fasting. You'll hear why she's rethinking the way it's used, the four things she sees in people who heal naturally, and why her practice is taking another turn.

If you've ever felt pushed into a box, this episode is for you. Maybe a treatment plan put you in a category that doesn't feel like you. Maybe you're a physician who feels boxed in by protocols. Or maybe you're just tired of other people's opinions drowning out your own.

Dr. Katie's story gives you permission to pause, listen to yourself, and choose the path that fits.

Stay until the end because Dr. Katie names what she now believes is the linchpin of all healing, the piece she couldn't see when she first left conventional medicine, and shares where the podcast is headed next.

Press play and learn why trusting yourself might be the first step toward healing.

What if the signs nudging you to slow down aren't setbacks, but directions worth following?

Dr. Katie Deming shares an announcement she says goes against nearly every piece of advice she's been given. For months, she's felt pulled toward a decision most experts told her to avoid. She's finally saying yes to it, and the reason why might shift how you think about rest, content, and the quiet messages your own body keeps sending.

Dr. Katie has spent her career watching what happens when people live out of step with who they really are. As a former radiation oncologist turned integrative oncologist, she's seen how staying out of alignment can affect your health in ways you might not expect. Here, she opens up about her own signs, why she won't wait for the louder wake-up call, and what she believes real healing actually starts with.

If you've been running on empty, buried in information, or brushing off that small voice telling you something needs to change, this one speaks straight to you. Dr. Katie offers a gentle invitation to step back, reset, and reconnect with yourself before life makes the choice for you.

Press play and learn why listening to yourself might be the most healing thing you do.

What if the thing you assumed was deprivation is actually one of the oldest healing practices in medicine?

Someone you love is exploring a prolonged water fast, and you want to understand what that really means. Host Dr. Katie Deming  walks you through what a supported fast actually is, the way she would explain it to her own family. She describes what happens inside the body when someone stops eating, and why it looks nothing like what most of us learned in school.

You'll hear why she compares a supported fast to a retreat rather than a period of going without, and what the structure looks like day to day. She also explains the part of the process almost nobody talks about, the piece she takes more seriously than the fast itself. 

If you've been worried, confused, or unsure how to bring this up with the person you love, this conversation gives you language and a clearer picture.

Dr. Katie also traces fasting back through Hippocrates, Galen, and the physicians who shaped Western medicine, then explains what changed and why we set it aside. And she names what people are truly reaching for when they choose this path, which is rarely what you'd expect.

Stay through the end for the most important thing she has learned in two decades of caring for people with cancer, including a deeply personal story about her own mother.

What if everything you’ve been told about muscle loss and prolonged water fasting isn’t the full story?

Dr. Katie Deming welcomes back Dr. Christy Kesslering, a fellow radiation oncologist who left conventional medicine to focus on metabolic health. Christy didn’t just complete a supervised 14-day water fast. She tracked what happened before, during, and after it.

She collected DEXA scans, body-composition measurements, toxin testing, insulin levels, cholesterol markers, and inflammation data. She wanted to understand what her own clients experience during an extended fast and see what the numbers could reveal about what was happening beneath the surface.

The results challenged one of the biggest fears surrounding prolonged fasting.

As a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman, Christy lost body fat while her follow-up DEXA scan showed an increase in lean mass. But the numbers are only part of the story. She also walks you through the difficult middle of the fast, including back pain, aching tissue, skin changes, shifting inflammation markers, and the gradual return to normal during refeeding.

Dr. Katie and Christy also explore why rest is an essential part of a supervised fast, what happened to Christy’s triglycerides and cholesterol-related markers, and why changes during fasting need to be interpreted differently from routine lab results.

00:45:01 - How Insulin Shifted During the Fast
00:46:36 - The Possible Autophagy Turning Point
00:48:59 - What Happened to Her Liver Markers

This conversation offers a rare look at prolonged fasting through the experience of two physicians examining both the physical process and the laboratory data.

You’ll learn why rest may matter as much as not eating, why temporary lab changes can be misleading without context, and what Christy’s results suggest about the fear of losing muscle during a properly supervised fast.

What happens on the day your cancer treatment ends and instead of feeling free, you feel like you're standing at the edge of a cliff instead?

Host Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Tara Elmore, the founder of Complex Creatures, who was diagnosed with breast cancer at 37.

Tara understands the strange silence that follows the very last treatment, because she lived it. The roadmap disappears, the check-ins slow down, and people see your hair growing back and assume that you're fine. 

But inside, you're left wondering what you're supposed to do with the 364 days that stretch between one screening and the next.

Dr. Katie brings her own perspective as a former radiation oncologist who used to prepare her patients for this exact moment. She saw the anxiety, the loneliness, and the fear that tend to show up right when the world expects you to celebrate. 

They explore what it means to reclaim your agency, how to gently detox your body after treatment, and why the intuitive knowing inside you is far more powerful than you've been led to believe.

Chapters:
00:05:42 - The Emotional Cliff After Treatment
00:08:49 - Why Ringing the Bell Feels Complicated
00:09:52 - Reclaiming Your Role in Healing

Before EP Description: Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HERE

What if losing weight on a GLP-1 drug and losing weight through fasting produce the same number on the scale, but nearly opposite effects inside your cells?

Host Dr. Katie Deming believes some of the most popular weight loss drugs on the market may be quietly blocking one of your body's most essential repair processes. Not because they're failing to work, but because they work in a way that keeps your body in a state it was never meant to stay in.

She takes an honest, no-shame look at GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy and compares what's actually happening inside your body when you lose weight on them versus when you fast. 

The scale might show the same number. The story underneath is very different. 

Dr. Katie explains a repair switch your body can only flip when your stomach is genuinely empty, and why keeping it perpetually fed may keep that switch turned off for good. She connects the dots between mitochondrial health, cellular cleanup, visceral fat, muscle preservation, and metabolic flexibility in a way that's clear, honest, and direct.

She's not here to shame anyone taking these medications. She gets why people reach for something that works. But she shares what happened when several of her patients who were certain they'd go right back on the drug after fasting decided they didn't want to, and why.

Chapters:
00:04:23 - The Food System Is Broken
00:06:13 - Your Body Needs Empty Space
00:08:24 - GLP-1s May Block Repair Mode
00:10:41 - Weight Loss Is Not Healing
00:12:26 - What Cancer Cells Feed On
00:13:30 - Fasting Changes the Terrain
00:17:00 - Cleaning Out Damaged Mitochondria
00:18:00 - The Most Dangerous Fat
00:20:35 - The Hidden Muscle Loss Problem
00:22:20 - Clients Who Were on GLP-1s Before Fasting
00:26:06 - Who Should Never Water Fast 

If you've ever wondered whether weight loss and true healing are actually the same thing, or why one of her patients gained lean mass six weeks after a 14-day water fast, this episode will change how you think about what your body actually needs.

Press play and learn why the repair process your body is waiting to run may only start when you finally stop feeding it.

What if the moment that shattered the life you carefully built became the moment that showed you what healing really is?

This episode is a little different. Instead of sitting in the host seat, I'm the one answering the questions. My dear friend and colleague, Dr. Nasha Winters invited me onto her podcast, Tend the Terrain, for a conversation that went somewhere I didn't expect.

It got honest. It got deeply personal. And it went straight to the heart of why I left a 20-year career as a radiation oncologist at the top of my field and what I found on the other side.

I'm sharing it here because I think you need to hear it.

We get into something I've rarely talked about in this much depth: a shared death experience I had in 2020 that fundamentally changed me. Not just personally, but in how I understand illness, healing, and what the body may be trying to communicate when it gets sick.

If you've ever felt like your diagnosis is something happening to you, this conversation may help you see your body differently.

Chapters:
04:15 - The Crack in the Foundation
06:38 - Sitting With Death
08:29 - When the Soul Let Go
10:08 - Proof She Could Not Ignore
13:16 - Leaving Conventional Oncology
14:30 - Why Illness Carries a Message
16:30 - Healing the Human First
18:41 - Why Fasting Became the Path
19:02 - The Four Things Healers Do
21:19 - Stop Your World to Heal
23:14 - What Happens Inside the Fast
24:55 - The Deep Healing After Day Seven
27:00 - Refeeding Matters Most
32:00 - Why Doctors Feel the System Breaking
34:01 - Food as the First Foundation
36:13 - The Ripple That Could Change Cancer Care
36:50 - Holding Peace While Healing Others

We also go deep into prolonged water fasting, not as a trend, but as a biological and spiritual tool for healing. I walk through what's happening in the body from the first 36 hours through the deeper work that only begins after day seven. I also explain why fasting at this depth is not something to improvise alone, and why proper guidance and refeeding matter so much.

There's a reason I've built my current practice around this work, and it's not the reason most people assume.

By the end, you'll understand why the four things I've seen again and again in people who heal are not what conventional medicine ever taught me to look for.

Press play and learn why your body was never broken to begin with, and what it may have been waiting for you to understand.
