What 'Cured' Means and Survivorship Gaps

⚡️Everything we’ve got wrong about cancer - and how to actually protect yourself

💬 “ Cancer is not the enemy, it's the messenger. And it's trying to tell you that there's a lot of things that are outta balance in the world around you” ~Nasha Winters

➡︎ We’ve been waging war against cancer for a long time, trying to fight it, cut it out and treat it as the enemy. But what if we took a different approach? What if we saw it as a messenger, telling us that something is wrong inside our bodies - and we need to take a closer look?

➡︎ Dr Nasha Winters is an integrative oncology specialist, using her own experiences of cancer to help conventional oncologists do their job better. Nasha was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer aged 19 and was told she only had a few months left to live. Despite that, she managed to recover and has been on a journey to help others like her ever since. 

➡︎ In this episode, Nasha and Tim discuss everything we have wrong about cancer, from the root causes driving the boom in cancer rates, to the mindshift change we need to make when approaching cancer treatment. They explore why traditional medicine is not enough on its own to actually heal us from cancer - and why a biohacker’s approach is often needed. And they discuss holistic healing strategies, like fasting, that have helped many of Nasha’s patients over the years.
