Too often in cancer treatment methods, the focus is on the disease, not the whole person.When it comes to cancer, conventional doctors are trained to treat their patients exclusively with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. These methods are grueling on the whole body, and they don't treat beyond the tumor or the cancer itself. The focus is on the disease, not the whole person. Because of this, the outcomes in conventional medicine can be bleak. But, it doesn't have to be this way. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy has developed a whole-person approach to treating cancer, and these treatments have helped thousands of patients through her Cancer Center for Healing. In her book, The Cancer Revolution, Dr. Connealy shows you how to get to the root causes of cancer and the practical steps you can take to get back on the path to healing, including balancing your body's chemistry with nutritional supplements, following a healthy food plan, detoxifying your body and home, exercising regularly, getting deep restful sleep every night, practicing stress reduction techniques, and putting together a supportive healing team. Chemotherapy and radiation have their place in treatment, but in many cases, they are simply not enough, because cancer isn't caused by one thing, but by many different factors. All of these causes must be addressed, not just the tumor. Dr. Connealy joins Dr. Taz to discuss how you can equip yourself to make impactful, achievable lifestyle choices that fight the root of the disease, and that offer hope for recovery and a cancer-free life.

The body is magnificent but it doesn't come with a lifetime warranty, or an operating manual.The body is magnificent but it doesn't come with a lifetime warranty, or an operating manual. You're the result of millions of years of evolution, but many of the adaptations that helped your ancestors survive are now working overtime to accelerate the aging process. The assumption here is that we are our genes and therefore trapped by the past. The good news is that your genetic code -- the DNA sequence that is the biochemical basis of heredity -- can play a minor role in the way you age. The scientific reality is that 90 percent of the signs of aging and disease are caused by lifestyle choices, not your genes. In other words, you have the capability to overcome and transform your genetic history and tendencies. Harvard/MIT-trained physician Sara Gottfried, MD, has created a revolutionary seven-week program that empowers you to make the critical choices necessary to not just look young, but also feel young. Dr. Gottfried joins Dr. Taz to share more information about the concept of inflammaging and the top factors that are stealing your youth.
