Bridging Worlds: Integrating Functional Medicine into Cancer Care
About the session
This talk explores the meeting point of conventional oncologic surgery and functional medicine — a model of care that treats the whole person, not just the disease. Drawing on experience as a plastic and oncologic breast surgeon alongside functional medicine practice, it offers a vision of cancer care where science and wholeness walk hand in hand, from diagnosis through survivorship. Topics include: Conventional meets functional: blending evidence-based protocols with a root-cause, whole-body approach The surgical journey, holistically supported: preparing the body and mind before surgery, supporting it through the procedure, and nurturing deep healing after Beyond the tumor: gut health, immune balance, hormones, and the emotional and energetic dimensions of recovery Surgery as a life transition: honoring nourishment, rest, connection, and inner resilience as essential parts of healing — not just the incision, but the whole story The goal: showing that surgeons and functional medicine practitioners can walk the same path, offering cancer patients care that is rigorous, compassionate, and truly whole.
