Send us Fan MailEPISODE #90 IS LIVE!“I AM A DR LIVING WITH CANCER”90 episodes.Thousands of conversations.Listeners across the globe.And somehow, the conversations keep getting more interesting… and more important.I’m incredibly excited to launch Episode #90 of the award-nominated podcast, Metabolic Wellbeing without the BS, featuring the remarkable Dr Jennifer Ron, MD.And this is a must-listen episode.Why?Because Jennifer isn’t just a medical practitioner talking about cancer.She is a physician living with cancer.She brings something incredibly powerful to the conversation:👉 25+ years of experience as an emergency medicine physician👉 Board certification in emergency and integrative medicine👉 Specialist training in integrative cancer care👉 Certification as an Integrative Metabolic Practitioner👉 And, most importantly, real lived experience as a cancer thriverJennifer’s journey has challenged her to retrain her own medical knowledge.To question.To learn.To listen.To recognise that perhaps there isn't always a quick fix, a single protocol or a one-size-fits-all answer.And that every person living with cancer has their own pathway, their own biology and their own journey.Her approach at MedLogic Integrative Cancer Care brings together conventional oncology with precision oncology, metabolic and immune strategies, lifestyle interventions and carefully considered adjunctive therapies — with the patient at the centre.But perhaps the most powerful message from our conversation isn't about a particular treatment.It is about taking the time to understand the person behind the diagnosis.Cancer isn't simply a disease to be treated.It is a human being navigating an incredibly complex journey.And what happens when we move from:“What is the protocol?”to“What does THIS person need?”That shift matters.As someone who has been living beyond a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis myself, conversations like this are deeply personal.They reinforce why I started this podcast in the first place.To ask better questions.To challenge assumptions.To bring different perspectives together.And ultimately…to put the human being back at the centre of healthcare.💡 No BS.💡 No quick fixes.💡 No pretending there is one answer.Just curiosity, education, lived experience and a willingness to keep learning.🎧 Episode #90 – “I Am A Dr Living With Cancer”If you are living with cancer, supporting someone who is, working in healthcare, or simply interested in a more integrated approach to health and wellbeing…this one is for you.Listen.
