The Metabolic Approach to Cancer with Dr. Teri

If you or a loved one is facing a cancer diagnosis, Dr. Teri, a licensed Naturopathic Physician with advanced training in Integrative Oncology, can help you navigate the latest advances in the alternative cancer care world.
This integrative approach aims to support the body’s healing processes, enhance overall well-being, and improve the quality of life for individuals diagnosed with cancer. Naturopathic oncology emphasizes a holistic view of health, considering the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the individual.
While the expectation is that you are already working with a conventional oncologist to treat the cancer itself, Dr. Teri's goal is to support your overall health in the context of your diagnosis. She utilizes the Metabolic Approach to Cancer as taught by Dr. Nasha Winters, ND, FABNO to identify and remove any obstacles that may be interfering with your recovery and ultimate healing.
The metabolic approach to cancer is an emerging paradigm that focuses on the alterations in cellular metabolism that occur in cancer cells. This perspective emphasizes how cancer cells utilize energy and nutrients differently from normal cells, and it seeks to exploit these metabolic vulnerabilities to develop novel therapeutic strategies. Understanding the metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells can provide insights into prevention, treatment, and management of the disease.

Examples of how we might naturally and effectively utilize the Metabolic Approach to Cancer include:

Nutritional Influence*: The metabolic approach emphasizes the role of nutrition in cancer prevention and treatment. Dietary interventions may help exploit the metabolic vulnerabilities of cancer cells.

We will take a deep dive into your unique "Terrain Ten", which are 10 factors and aspects of health that will be addressed in order to facilitate your body's innate ability to heal. The term "terrain" refers to the human ecological environment in which the cancer developed, and these include:

  • Genetics and Epigenetics
  • Metabolic Health and Blood Sugar Control
  • Immune Function
  • Inflammation
  • Hormones
  • Toxic Burden/Environmental
  • Microbiome/Digestion2
  • Stress and Circadian Rhythm
  • Angiogenesis/Blood Circulation
  • Mental/Emotional

Together, we will assess each of these to determine which are the top priority for your case and develop a supportive treatment plan individualized for you!
Treatment modalities include supplements, herbs, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle recommendations to complement your conventional oncological care.

Benefits of the Metabolic Approach to Cancer include:

  • Targeting Cancer Cell Vulnerabilities: By understanding and targeting the unique metabolic traits of cancer cells, we will use therapies that selectively affect tumor growth while sparing normal cells.
  • Potential for Combination Therapies: The metabolic approach can complement traditional treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, enhancing their effectiveness and reducing side effects.
  • Prevention Strategies: Insights into the metabolic changes associated with cancer can inform prevention strategies through dietary and lifestyle modifications.

PLEASE NOTE: Consultations with Dr. Teri are not meant to replace your conventional cancer care, but to support it. Please continue working with your established oncology team.
