Today’s episode features my interview with Naturopathic Integrative Oncologist Dr. Adam McLeod
This interview Dr. Mcleod provided us with a foundation to learn more about integrative oncology and how it can help you and your family navigate the treatments and side-effects of those specific treatments. He explained how naturopathic medicine and integrative oncology can help the patient feel better and persevere through all those therapies. He also explained the importance of understanding that because of the complexities of oncology: of the different types of cancer and the different types of treatment, there needs to be collaboration between your naturopathic physician, who specializes in integrative oncology and your oncologist.
During our interview we also cover why we shouldn’t self-prescribe natural therapies during conventional cancer treatments without the assistance of an integrative oncologist. We discussed the importance of having help understanding your child’s diagnosis, the treatment plan and what side effects to expect and how to reduce those side effects, whether it is through diet, supplements and simple changes. We talked about how integrative oncologists can help deal with the overwhelm, fears, what questions to ask and what parents can be doing to support their child through treatments and their side effects.
I hope you will appreciate Dr. McLeod’s advice as much as I did.
