The Health Detective Podcast by Functional Diagnostic Nutrition

How To (Responsibly) Support Cancer Patients as a Holistic Practitioner w/ Heather Cooan

Cancer is one of the scariest diagnoses one can get, and even those who are most dedicated to natural protocols might find themselves at a crossroad if they were to receive such a diagnosis. Where is the middle ground, though? We all intuitively know that cancer care should not be addressed with either Western medicine or natural medicine by themselves, but too often it’s unclear where the line gets drawn.

Our guest for this episode, Heather Cooan, is an expert on bridging these two worlds, and works with clients everyday who find themselves wanting the best of Western and natural for their cancer care.
