Too often in cancer treatment methods, the focus is on the disease, not the whole person.When it comes to cancer, conventional doctors are trained to treat their patients exclusively with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. These methods are grueling on the whole body, and they don't treat beyond the tumor or the cancer itself. The focus is on the disease, not the whole person.

Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy has developed a whole-person approach to treating cancer, and these treatments have helped thousands of patients through her Cancer Center for Healing. In her book, The Cancer Revolution, Dr. Connealy shows you how to get to the root causes of cancer and the practical steps you can take to get back on the path to healing, including balancing your body's chemistry with nutritional supplements, following a healthy food plan, detoxifying your body and home, exercising regularly, getting deep restful sleep every night, practicing stress reduction techniques, and putting together a supportive healing team.

All of these causes must be addressed, not just the tumor.

Dr. David Friedman explains how to navigate food in a world of eating fads.Dr. David Friedman noticed the food rules were always changing. Something that was bad for you one day was proclaimed as having great health benefit the next. To cut through the noise, Dr. Friedman advises combining these three things: Common science: Find out what the studies show. Common sense: Trust your gut instead of what you see in the media. Biology: The body should be designed to utilize the food you eat. Consider eliminating animal milk, eating more fish, and reducing your red meat consumption. Eat like your grandparents, consuming things that were available decades ago. Diets often fail. The focus is on food. The problem is that there are hormone disruptors that prevent weight loss. Plastics labeled with the numbers 5 or 7 have higher BPAs and interfere with hormones. If the PLU code on your produce has an 8, it contains GMOs. Stick to produce with stickers that begin with 9. Listen as Dr. Friedman joins Dr. Taz to help address the culinary conundrum.

Dr. Merci Ortenzi Treaster uses physical therapy to improve women's pelvic health.Dr. Merci Ortenzi Treaster has a lifetime of women’s health education. Joining her mother when treating women’s issues, Dr. Treaster discovered that the physical therapy aspect of women’s health was lacking. Many conditions automatically mandate physical therapy after trauma or surgery. Childbirth, however, isn’t typically considered a condition that would require rehabilitation. The stretched and torn muscles deserve treatment. Weakened pelvic floor muscles can be aided by proper breathing. The pelvic floor should relax on the inhale and contract on the exhale. Dr. Treaster also recommends posture correction. Focus on achieving a neutral pelvis in daily activities. Listen as Dr. Treaster joins Dr. Taz to discuss pelvic health physical therapy.
