91: This Is Why We’re Losing the War on Cancer with Dr. Nathan Goodyear
In this thought-provoking episode of Keeping Abreast, I sit down with Dr. Nathan Goodyear, a board-certified physician who left conventional oncology to become a pioneer in integrative cancer care. Together, they explore the limitations of traditional treatment models and why the current “war on cancer” mentality may be doing more harm than good.Dr. Goodyear opens up about his personal journey from a traditional medical background to becoming a patient himself—an experience that radically changed his approach to healing. He and Dr. Jenn unpack the deeper truths about cancer: its roots in immune dysfunction, the influence of lifestyle and environment, and the transformative power of epigenetics.This episode doesn’t shy away from controversy—from the politicization of medicine to the potential of off-label and repurposed drugs like ivermectin and metformin. It’s a bold, necessary conversation about empowering patients, reimagining cancer care, and building a future where treatment is rooted in innovation, integrity, and true healing.In This Episode, You Will Learn:Dr. Goodyear's personal health crisis inspired a complete shift in his approach to cancer care.The “fight” against cancer often becomes a fight against the body—integrative medicine aims to heal, not battle.Cancer is part of the immune system—understanding that changes everything.Cryoablation offers a powerful, less invasive alternative to surgery with promising outcomes.Lifestyle, stress, diet, and toxins play a critical role in cancer development and recurrence.Epigenetic changes can pass through generations, altering cancer risk.Mammograms may not be as protective as once believed—and may lead to overtreatment.The healthcare system often incentivizes drugs over real healing.Repurposed medications like metformin and ivermectin show powerful anti-cancer potential.The term “quack” is weaponized to discredit innovative doctors who challenge the norm.👤 About Dr. Nathan Goodyear:Dr. Nathan Goodyear is a board-certified physician and Medical Director of Brio-Medical, a leading integrative cancer center in Scottsdale, AZ. After experiencing firsthand the gaps in conventional medicine, he became a tireless advocate for innovative, patient-centered, and evidence-based approaches to cancer care.
