Episode notes
Early Cancer And Cardiac Recovery
- Dr. Lisa Koche was diagnosed with leukemia at 15 and later developed chemo-induced heart failure at 20.
- Early integrative supplements like CoQ10 and carnitine coincided with her cardiac recovery and sparked her interest in integrative medicine.
Why Protocols Fail Individuals
- Lisa questioned protocol-driven medicine and sought reasons behind varied patient responses.
- That curiosity led her to create a prevention-focused, collaborative fellowship blending specialties.
Create Collaborative Care Teams
- Build collaborative care teams rather than relying on a single specialty for complex patients.
- Bring nutritionists and psychologists into surgical pre-op teams to improve outcomes.
