The Beautifully Broken Podcast

Cancer Isn’t the Enemy—Your Terrain Is | Dr. Elise Sulser ND


Listen Later

Dr. Elise explains terrain therapy as a foundational approach: envision the body as a garden, and cancer as weeds thriving in poor soil. By excavating the terrain—balancing nutrients, reducing toxins, optimizing metabolism, and supporting detox pathways—she builds biological resilience and nurtures healthy cellular growth. We discuss trends she’s seeing in younger cancer clients and the detailed lab models she uses to assess angiogenesis, immune ratios, mitochondrial function, and inflammatory biomarkers. Elise also shares her personal journey caring for her mother through multiple cancer diagnoses, and how integrative modalities like fasting protocols, manual lymph drainage, meditation, and psychological insight work together with biology. Finally, we explore the role of mistletoe therapy in Germany and beyond, including how it may sensitize cells, reduce inflammation, and support long-term surveillance in an evidence-supported and cost-effective way.
