  • Disappointing

    I just started listening to this podcast as I was recently diagnosed with cancer. I was very disappointed tuning into the June 2020 podcast regarding fasting. I thought this was a show about cancer not about politics. If hear one more show regarding the authors’ views on politics, I will unsubscribe and reduce the rating to 1 star.

Thanks so much for putting out such a spectacular show ladies - keep up the great work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Integrative Care for Brain Cancer: Science, Support and Hope
Q: Which approaches to glioblastoma are worth watching, and how should patients ask their treating physician about clinical trials?
Sengupta highlights immunotherapies such as CAR-T and vaccines, novel drug delivery, and individualized tumor testing. She recommends asking about a trial's biological rationale, phase, risks, alternatives, eligibility, costs, and likely effects on quality of life, and learning about appropriate trials early.
Integrative Care for Brain Cancer: Science, Support and Hope
Q: What do you think about the research for dietary approaches such as avoiding sugar, ketogenic diets, and fasting, and how do you counsel patients about them?
Sengupta says ketogenic diets and fasting are scientifically interesting but not proven therapies for glioblastoma. She cautions against restrictive diets that may cause weight and muscle loss, and advises patients to prioritize nutrition while discussing these approaches with their care team.
Nutrient Profile: Anti-anxiety Nutrients and Herbs
Q: Does L-theanine work the same as GABA?
L-theanine binds to different receptors and increases alpha brain wave activity, which promotes calm without making you sleepy, offering a complementary mechanism to GABA.
Beyond the Infusion Chair: Integrative Oncology with Dr. Eliot Edwards
Q: What would your wish be for every patient undergoing treatment?
Patients should have access to integrative providers who can support them through treatment, prevent long-term side effects like neuropathy, and help navigate how to implement a personalized, evidence-informed plan without adding stress.
Beyond the Infusion Chair: Integrative Oncology with Dr. Eliot Edwards
Q: If you had a wish that every oncologist knew something about naturopathic care, what would it be?
That we are on the same side, working to improve patient outcomes, and that recognizing our expertise and collaborating rather than competing can help minimize side effects and maximize treatment effectiveness.
