Improve cancer outcomes.
Learn about actionable anti-cancer strategies found in peer-reviewed scientific research that can be used in addition to standard of care.
There’s always something you can do.
In the 1960’s, cancer researchers discovered patients lived longer, and were sometimes cured, when they combined chemotherapy drugs. This practice is still used today.
But we don’t have to stop there. I believe we can add anti-cancer strategies to standard care medications and further reduce risk of recurrence and improve patient outcomes.
My website and podcast offer evidence-based anti-cancer strategies aimed at elevating cancer treatment success.
NEW PODCAST
Dr. Xiang Zhang: Bone Trauma & Cancer; The Hidden Risk No One Talks About & What to Do
Dr. Xiang Zhang, a leading cancer researcher at Baylor College of Medicine, joins us to discuss groundbreaking findings on bone metastasis, including:
How bone fractures, injuries, and even osteoporosis can awaken dormant cancer cells
Why exercise plays a crucial role in reducing recurrence risk by up to 50%
How bisphosphonates may help prevent bone metastasis
New precision therapies being developed to stop bone metastasis in its tracks
Anti-Cancer Strategies with Potential for High Impact
My neighbor is a radical remission cancer survivor. She is also an accomplished psychiatrist, neuroscience researcher, and mindfulness expert.
Mindfulness is a powerful positive influencer—it not only changes our chemistry but can also alter the physical structure of the brain. Mindfulness suggests we are present in the moment, without judgement, and it promotes a state of restfulness that when practiced regularly, can provide lasting restorative effects throughout our day. It helps rewire our internal systems so we are not as reactive to stressors, and when stress does occur, it can return us to a state of rest more quickly.
Learn how Dr. Naylor used mindfulness to help herself and her amazing story of recovery from metastatic cancer.

When you hit a wall, there’s something else you can try.
Educate yourself. Talk to your physician. Take control. It’s your body and your life. You can choose your path.
When I was first diagnosed in 2007, I met my oncologist for the first time in his office. He was behind a big desk and the phone rang just as I was sitting down. He asked if I minded if he took the call. I said I didn’t, so I sat down and waited, listening, while he talked to his assistant. He said, “Tell him there is nothing else we can do.” There was a pause and then he continued, “No. We’ve tried everything. There isn’t anything else.” He ended the call and turned to me to start our appointment.
That call, and my own diagnosis, is the reason I created this website. It is dedicated to all patients who feel like there’s nothing they can do. I believe there is always something you can do. I’m going to do my best to bring you clear, actionable ideas that you can discuss with your physician.
Read about some simple strategies that may be right for you.

Join me in discovering new ways to improve cancer outcomes.
This year there will be over $7 billion spent on cancer research, in the US alone, but it takes about 15 years for new discoveries to make it to patient care.
For people like me, who have been given a 40% chance of living 5-years, that’s too long. I’m willing to evaluate the evidence we have today and make my own decisions about when an adjunct anti-cancer strategy might be worth trying.

Cancer is no longer considered a genetic disease; cancer is a metabolic disease and dysregulated metabolism is thought be the underlying cause of most tumors.
About 15% of cancers are caused by infections, and 10% carry a hereditary burden. The remaining 70%–75% of cancers are associated with a variety of processes, often associated with metabolic syndrome and chronic inflammation.
