Recorded live at Metabolic Health Summit in January of 2024, Chad shares his journey of becoming metabolically, physically, and mentally elite in the fight against cancer.

Through his deeply personal story, Chad provides a rare and essential patient perspective, shedding light on the gaps in traditional cancer care—from nutrition and communication to the importance of mindset and metabolic health. His insights challenge clinicians, researchers, and patients alike to rethink the medical status quo, spark innovation, and inspire transformative conversations.

This episode is more than just a story of resilience—it’s a call to action to integrate patient voices into the heart of healthcare and foster a collaborative approach to healing.
