Integrative Oncology: Supporting the Patient Holistically with Dr. Michelle Woolhouse and Carla Wrenn

Carla Wrenn, naturopath and educator, provides us with her insights into the important role the integrative practitioner may play in wholistically supporting the oncology patient in our latest podcast. Having worked with our ambassador, Dr Michelle Woolhouse in a collaborative care model to support cancer patients, Carla describes how she supports the cancer patient to obtain their best overall health, to reduce potential side effects of cancer treatment and to minimise modifiable risk factors to improve their health outcomes. Carla explains the complexity of the challenges faced by the cancer patient and how she supports them through diet, lifestyle and supplementation. Carla discusses the benefits herbs and supplements may offer for addressing inflammation, hormonal and blood glucose imbalances and stress while expressing caution on their use and discussing the hallmarks of cancer and the all important safety aspects of prescribing natural medicine for the cancer patient.
