On this episode of the Stop Chasing Pain Podcast, Dr. Perry Nickelston sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters, a global thought leader in integrative oncology and author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer. Together, they dive into the revolutionary framework Dr. Winters has developed to help patients and practitioners alike rethink cancer care.

This conversation explores how metabolic health, bio-individualized therapies, and the power of nutrition can shift the way we approach prevention, treatment, and long-term healing.

Highlights from Dr. Winters’ book include:

• How cancer is not just a genetic disease but a metabolic one, deeply tied to cellular energy and mitochondrial function.

• The role of the ketogenic diet and therapeutic nutrition in starving cancer cells while nourishing healthy tissues.

• The impact of toxin exposure and why reducing environmental and lifestyle stressors is key to healing.

• The importance of balancing the terrain—hormones, inflammation, immune function, microbiome, and emotional resilience.

• Using bio-individualized therapies—tailoring interventions to each person’s unique biology rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

• Why building metabolic flexibility and resilience isn’t just for cancer patients, but a roadmap for all of us who want to live healthier, longer, more vibrant lives.

This episode is a must-listen if you want to understand the future of cancer care through the lens of whole-body healing.
