@alexandralsall I’m glad to hear that your friend is close to remission. I’m not sure if you saw our announcement yesterday, but we just confirmed April’s guest expert call with Dr. Christian Gonzalez (aka Dr. G). He’s a naturopathic doctor and integrative oncologist, who now focuses on the psychosomatic and energetic component of cancer. This will be our topic of discussion on April 24th, since often times there is an underlying emotional root or trauma with cancer that needs to be addressed.
If this resonates with you and your friend, I highly recommend registering and attending the interview (or watch the recording the next day). Here’s Dr. G’s website if you’d like to browse through it as well.
And if he needs help cleaning up his environment/lifestyle, then yes, working with a functional medicine coach would be a good idea.
I searched through my school’s directory of certified functional medicine practitioners and can suggest reaching out to:
1. Kelly Lutman – virtual: https://pursuewellnessforyou.com/ttcbook/ (she mentions working with women dealing with cancer so not sure if it’s just a marketing thing, but worth checking if she works with men too)
2. Sybil Cooper – NY: https://sybilcooper.com/ (she earned her PhD in Immunology from University of Texas/MD Anderson Cancer Center)
2. Sharon Kinblom – Plattsburgh NY: https://sharonkinblomhc.com/ (she mentions having a success story working with a client dealing with cancer) 518-222-3061
Hope these are helpful leads.
