"The Metabolic Approach to Cancer" by Dr. Nasha Winters is a book that outlines her approach to health and healing. Instead of focusing on treating the symptoms or the cancer itself, it looks at how the body's metabolism—the way it uses energy—can be changed to help fight cancer.

This methodology is based on her decades of practice and her personal experience of healing from a stage four ovarian cancer diagnosis at the age of 19.

Here are the key points:

1. Focus on Metabolism: Dr. Nasha's philosophy is that cancer is a metabolic disease, meaning it's linked to how our cells produce and use energy. By changing our metabolism, we can create an environment in our bodies that is less friendly to cancer cells. This is why testing and assessing your unique labs and genetics is so important. This is not a one-size-fits-all approach.

2. Diet and Nutrition: Dr. Winters emphasizes the importance of a healthy diet. This often includes eating fewer carbohydrates and more healthy fats, known as a ketogenic diet. The idea is that this type of diet can starve cancer cells, which rely on sugar for energy.

3. Holistic Approach: This is a holistic (whole-body) approach to health. This means looking at many aspects of life that can affect cancer, including stress, toxins, and overall lifestyle.

4. Personalized Medicine: Everyone's body is different, so this approach suggests personalizing treatments based on individual needs. This can include specific dietary changes, supplements, and other lifestyle modifications.

5. Preventative Measures: Dr. Winters also focuses on preventing cancer by maintaining a healthy metabolism and making lifestyle changes that reduce the risk of developing cancer in the first place.

People turn to this approach because it offers a way to support their health by addressing the root causes of cancer and not just the symptoms. It combines modern science with natural therapies and emphasizes prevention and overall wellness, which can empower those looking to take an active role in their health.

NOTE: My role as a Certified Terrain Advocate is to educate and support you in implementing healthy lifestyle changes that align with the metabolic approach to health. I do not recommend therapies or prescribe supplements. If you are in an active cancer process, I strongly advise that you consult with a licensed medical practitioner trained in the Metabolic Approach to Cancer.

Yes!

It's my dream to see everyone achieve optimal metabolic health so we can start to turn back the rapidly increasing rates of cancer.

Many of my clients have asked me to work with their loved ones on my metabolic health coaching packages and I'm happy to do it.

If you do not have breast cancer and you would like to work with me, you can select a package that suits you here.

That's a great question.

No one thing gives us a complete picture of your health. You are a unique individual and your genetic report, labs, and lifestyle history all come together to give us a more complete picture of your body, what it's been through, and what it needs for support.

This is a full-service package so I take care of ordering your labs, genetic assessment, and all the supplies you need to support this comprehensive program.

I do this to give you all the support you need and to take the burden of more steps off your plate.

I want you to have everything as quickly and efficiently as possible so we can dig into your plan and support without delays.

If you already have some of the supplies included in the package, you can send me an email with what you have and I will refund the cost accordingly.

No.

The costs of all labs are included in the package pricing.

This was the best way for me to simplify the ordering process.

Some people who come to me already have a report, some are outside of the U.S. and need to order through Nutrition Genome (Currently $350) and others inside the U.S. need the 3X4 report (currently $299).

It gets complicated.

This way, you receive an email after your purchase with detailed instructions on all of the above circumstances.

Access to the Better Than Before Breast Cancer™ Membership Group Coaching Calls offers you additional support while we work together and while you wait for the results of your tests.

When you're ready for knowledge and creating change, I don't want to keep you waiting.

These calls value, connection, and an opportunity to ask questions, get coaching, or be inspired by hearing the thoughts and breakthroughs of other women who get what you're going through.

I'm glad you asked!

Let's be clear, I am NOT a doctor or licensed clinician and none of my programs should take the place of medical advice.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Healthy Lifestyle Coaching, I am a Certified Network Terrain Advocate with The Metabolic Institute of Health, with additional certifications in Life Coaching, Health Coaching, Nutrition Coaching, Ayurveda, and many other exercise certifications. 

More importantly, I am a breast cancer survivor living with metastatic breast cancer and following the Metabolic Approach to Cancer to support my healing.

As a Certified Terrain Network Advocate, I studied with Dr. Nasha Winters in her year-long program at the Metabolic Institute of Health and I continue to be an active part of ongoing mentorship and training as a graduate and Certified Advocate.

I've been coaching breast cancer survivors since 2017 in all aspects of supporting a healthy lifestyle including nutrition, exercise, and maybe more importantly, mental and emotional wellness.

You can check out more details about me here.

No.

Although we'll discuss nutrition in detail in the Metabolic Health Coaching Program, you are a unique individual and I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.

I'll offer you support and guidance in the foods that will work best for your body, according to your DNA and lab work.

I'll also offer you recourses, and coach you through the mindset shifts that leave you feeling stuck or deprived when it comes to choosing foods that support your optimal health.

Most importantly we'll work to create a plan that's right for you and fits with your lifestyle.

In my Metabolic Health Coaching Program you'll receive immediate access to my Better Than Before Breast Cancer™ Life Coaching Membership.

This will get you started with support while you get your labs, genetic reports, and other items together.

You will be able to access all of the coaching calls, the full library of support, and the member-only Facebook group community the entire time we work together in your coaching package.

This is a huge benefit as the value you'll find in the membership and group coaching calls will add more to supporting your plan than you can imagine.

We'll also meet every other week for private one-on-one coaching sessions to review your data as it arrives and begin creating actionable steps for you to take toward your metabolic wellness plan.

If you are in an active cancering process, I highly recommend that you work with a practitioner trained in the Metabolic Approach to Cancer so that we can work together to support the plan your doctor recommends.

No to insurance.☹️

The great news is that many FSA and HSA plans offer reimbursement for health and wellness coaching support if you provide them with a letter of medical referral from your doctor.

In 2024 Medicare also began offering coverage for health and wellness coaching.

You should check with your insurance provider to verify your eligibility for coverage.
