I help you go through cancer treatment with the least side effects as possible

functional medicine + oncology

Cancer is a multifactorial disease that arises within a multidimensional system. Many patients who are diagnosed with cancer seek a more sensitive and thoughtful approach to address their individual needs and goals. The functional medicine model is an integrative medicine model that looks at the whole person and address treatment related side effects with diet and nutrition, botanical medicine, prescription medications, and intravenous (IV) therapy, so patients may live a higher quality and happier life. I will tailor a treatment plan for you that is compatible to your cancer treatment, whether chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, or hormone therapy.
