Support Cancer Patients as a Holistic Practitioner: Summary

In this podcast, Heather Cooan discusses her journey overcoming Hashimoto’s, Lichen Sclerosus, and Vulvar Cancer through functional medicine and lifestyle interventions. Heather is a double board-certified functional oncology nutrition consultant who emphasizes the importance of bio-individuality and the use of personalized lab and genetic data to provide evidence-based support for those living with cancer and other chronic illnesses. Her approach includes nutritional care, lifestyle changes, nervous system regulation, and environmental design, tailored to each individual’s unique needs and conditions to empower them towards a path of healing and remission.

Heather shares her personal story, elaborating on her initial symptoms, challenges in diagnosis, and the choices she made in her treatment plan, including opting for surgery while refusing chemotherapy and radiation in favor of holistic alternatives like high-dose IVC, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and dietary overhauls. She emphasizes the crucial role of understanding one’s body, mental health, and personal values in managing disease and achieving long-term wellness. Heather also highlights the importance of mental and emotional health, noting patterns in trauma and emotional stress that closely correlate with cancer diagnoses.

Additionally, Heather offers insights on the costs and challenges faced by those seeking cancer treatment, underlining the often-significant financial burden, and advises taking a careful, well-researched approach that combines both conventional and functional medicine. She provides resources on legitimate training in integrative cancer management, highlighting why data-driven, customized care is essential for effective treatment. The discussion underscores the importance of prevention, holistic management, and the integration of mental, emotional, and physical health in combating cancer.
