Dr. Thomas Seyfried has spent decades building the scientific case that cancer isn't a genetic disease. It's a metabolic one. And that distinction changes everything. 

He breaks down exactly why cancer cells can't survive without glucose and glutamine, why conventional oncology has largely ignored this, and why managing cancer without toxic side effects isn't just possible. It's already happening.

Dr. Seyfried also explains why eating meat won't raise your glutamine levels the way most people fear, how nutritional ketosis can cut chemotherapy doses in half, and why a drug called DON could be a turning point in metabolic cancer care if the FDA ever gets out of the way. 

If you or someone you love is navigating a cancer diagnosis, this conversation could reshape how you think about treatment options. Don't wait to hear it.

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, a researcher whose work connecting nutrition, gut health, and chronic illness has reached people around the world.

Together, they dig into why some of the most widely accepted dietary advice may be working against healing, not for it. Specifically, they explore what happens when the body is deprived of the nutrients it actually needs to repair and rebuild at the cellular level.

Dr. Katie shares what she's observed firsthand in her own fasting practice, including something that surprised even the most committed plant-based patients who came to her for care. 

Chapters:
00:04:50 - The Signal Your Body Sends When Cleansing Is Over
00:05:18 - Why Your Hunger Might Be Misleading You
00:06:30 - The Refeeding Step Most People Get Wrong
00:07:27 - Why People Crave Meat After Prolong Fasts
00:09:05 - The Refeeding Approach That Changes Recovery
00:10:30 - The Hidden Risk in Nuts and Seeds
00:11:19 - The Cooking Oil Problem
00:14:00 - Why We are Conditioned to Fear Fat
00:21:30 - What Happens When Your Gut Loses Balance

Dr. Natasha brings decades of research to explain what's really going on inside the body when cravings show up, and what those cravings are actually trying to tell you. If you've ever felt confused by conflicting nutrition advice, this conversation will help you understand why.

The conversation takes a hard look at cholesterol, what it actually does in the body, why your levels may not mean what you've been told, and how the standard advice around it could be getting in the way of your healing. 

Press play because the final topic on the gut microbiome ties everything together in a way that reframes how you think about disease itself.

00:06:20 - The Food That Actually Builds You
00:08:25 - The Truth About Vegan Diets

Dr. Katie is joined by a recent fasting client Paul Suchoski. Paul was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told by every doctor he consulted not to fast.

00:05:06 - Choosing a 30 Day Fast
00:06:33 - Unexpected Energy

They get into the hidden factors most doctors never check for, things lurking in your mouth, your home, and even your family history that could be quietly driving disease. Dr. Katie shares what she's seen firsthand in her own practice that finally confirmed what Western medicine never taught her.

Chapters:

00:06:05 - The Hidden Drivers of Cancer
00:10:00 - The Modern Toxic Load
00:13:30 - Trauma and Loss of Self
00:17:38 - The Dental Link

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with holistic nutritionist and teaching chef Monica Corrado to explore the nutrition philosophy behind the Deming Fast. 

This kicks off a brand new series called Inside the Deming Fast, and this first conversation zeroes in on something most fasting programs completely overlook: what happens after the fast ends. The refeeding phase isn't just a transition back to normal eating. It's the most powerful rebuilding opportunity your body may ever get.

Chapters:
00:04:03 - Rebuild With the Right Materials
00:06:06 - The Anti-Inflammatory Reset
00:08:04 - From Modern Food to Ancestral Healing
00:09:53 - Clean Animal Foods as Foundation
00:12:41 - Why Lectins and Oxalates Matter
00:14:28 - The Hidden Cost of Plant Antinutrients
00:18:26 - Rethinking Fats for Healing
00:19:00 - Processed Oils vs Stable Animal Fats
00:23:39 - Malnourished Yet Overfed
00:26:53 - Foundational Foods That Rebuild
00:30:23 - The Power of Liver and Organ Meats
00:41:14 - Is Fertility a Sign of True Healing?

Monica Corrado and Dr. Katie walk through the food guide they built specifically for people focused on healing, covering which foods rebuild the body at a cellular level, which ones trigger inflammation.

Dr. Katie and Monica break down what antinutrients actually do inside the body and why learning about them could change the way you shop, cook, and eat for good.

Monica also sets the record straight and why cutting fat out may be one of the most damaging things the low-fat era ever taught us to do.

Plus, Dr. Katie also shares what she's personally learned from working with Monica, including how she eats now, what's always cooking in her kitchen, and why getting the food right turned out to be the first step she had to take with every single client before anything else could work.

Press play and learn the four refeeding pillars that prevent you from sabotaging your fast.

If you've ever chosen a healing path that didn't match what your doctor recommended, you may know exactly what doctor shaming looks like. Host Dr. Katie Deming names what so many patients feel but rarely talk about, and explains why it happens in the first place.

Sometimes it's blunt, like a doctor implying you're a bad parent for skipping a certain treatment. Other times it’s subtle, a colder tone, a sudden disconnection, or even conditional care when you’re labeled “noncompliant.”

Chapters:
00:04:30 - When Your Doctor Changes Toward You
00:07:00 - Shame Is a Fear Tactic
00:08:00 - Why Doctors Are Wired This Way
00:10:13 - The System Needs Predictability
00:12:06 - Doctors Aren't the Enemy
00:13:21 - What Shame Does to Your Nervous System
00:18:30 - The Breath Technique That Calls Your Power Back
00:21:21 - The System's Discomfort Is Not Your Verdict

Doctors go through decades of conditioning that rewards certainty and compliance. And when you understand why the system reacts the way it does when you choose your own path, it becomes a lot easier to stop taking it personally.

A dysregulated nervous system clouds your thinking, shrinks your decision-making, and erodes your voice in the room where your care is being decided. Dr. Katie connects this directly to healing, because fear and shame get in the way of recovery.

Press Play and Learn how to reclaim your authority without abandoning the care you need.

From the time we're young, we're conditioned to follow the rules, trust the experts, and do what we're told. And when it comes to your health, that conditioning kicks into overdrive. 

Dr. Katie Deming opens up about why so many people hand over their power the moment they walk into a doctor's office, and what it actually costs them. As a radiation oncologist who walked away from the system, she's seen both sides of this story firsthand.

This kicks off a brand new series on reclaiming your authority. Dr. Katie explores the hidden forces that keep you from speaking up for yourself, including the pressure from well-meaning family, the fear of being labeled "non-compliant," and the people-pleasing patterns that run deeper than most of us realize. 

She also shares her own turning point, the moment a simple parable changed everything about how she saw her career and the medical system she'd spent her life in.

Chapters:
00:03:00 - The Illusion of One Right Way to Heal
00:06:00 - Your Values Determine Your Healing Path
00:11:00 - When Survival Conflicts with Meaning
00:15:00 - The Cost of Following Your Truth
00:19:00 - How We’re Conditioned to Hand Over Our Power
00:23:00 - Reclaiming Authority Without Rejecting Guidance
00:26:00 - Healing as Growth Not a Single Destination

Learn the difference between following a path and actually choosing one. Dr. Katie breaks down why your values matter more than any protocol and why healing isn't a single destination you arrive at. It's a practice you return to every single day.

Stay until the end to hear the one question Dr. Katie believes matters more than "what should I do" and why the answer could reshape every health decision you make from here on out.

Press play and learn how to stop outsourcing your power and start becoming the author of your own healing journey.

Dr. Katie sits down with Banah Winn, creator of the Golden Ratio Frequency, to explore how sound based on the same pattern found in DNA, breath, and spiral galaxies can create profound shifts in your body and mind. 

Banah shares his journey from meditation and energy healing in Sedona's vortexes to discovering a frequency formula that's helped millions find coherence in a chaotic world.

Chapters:
04:02 - Healing inherited trauma in the body
06:27 - Golden ratio as nature’s baseline
12:51 - Two frequencies that can disrupt cancer cells
13:30 - Instant vagus nerve activation in meditation

35:00 - Stay coherent after the event, no crash back to baseline

If you've been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns you can't seem to break this a must listen.

Host Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dorian Greenow, founder of Keto Mojo, to explain why numbers matter more than guesswork.

You'll learn what your glucose and ketone numbers really mean, how to use them to optimize your healing, and why the new dietary guidelines finally recognize what holistic practitioners have known all along about metabolic disease.

Listen and learn how to stop guessing and start measuring your way to better health.

Dr. Katie Deming shares her own recent experience with sugar cravings over the holidays and how she used a three-day fast to reset her body and mind.  She opens up about her history with sugar addiction and why, for some people, sugar isn't just food but a switch that changes everything from cravings to decision-making to self-trust.

Chapters:
05:00 - When sugar quietly takes control
06:25 - This wasn’t lack of discipline
08:00 - Why eating feels harder than fasting
09:30 - Fasting as a nervous system reset

15:30 - Reading your body’s inflammation signals
20:55 - Structure over willpower for long term healing

You'll hear why fasting can actually feel easier than eating when cravings are running the show, how a short fast quiets the "food noise" in your brain, and what Dr. Katie does to set herself up for success when she starts eating again. 

She also breaks down the difference between structure and restriction, and shares simple tools for managing cravings when they pop back up. This is not about developing the willpower, but creating clarity and coming back into alignment with your body.

Whether you're healing from cancer, managing inflammation, or just tired of feeling controlled by food, Dr. Katie offers a compassionate, medically-informed approach to resetting your relationship with eating. Her honesty about her own struggles makes this feel less like advice and more like a conversation with a trusted friend who actually gets it.

Press play and learn how short fasts can help you reclaim authority over your body without shame, without drama, and with more ease than you might expect.

When you're hit with a cancer diagnosis, your body goes into shock. Your mind starts racing with worst-case scenarios, and suddenly you're expected to make life-altering decisions about treatment while your system is anything but calm. 

Host Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Manuela Kogon, an integrative internist specializing in psycho-oncology, to explore why understanding your activated nervous system might be more important than any medical test when you're navigating cancer.

07:18 - Why Shock Destroys Clear Decision Making

Press play and learn how to make decisions from a place of calm instead of chaos.

Host, Dr. Katie Deming shares how she completely transformed her approach to life after her shared death experience and leaving Western medicine. Instead of forcing goals and pushing through obstacles, she now follows signs and synchronicities that appear in her daily life. 

She explains the difference between these two concepts and why paying attention to them opens up possibilities you could never plan for yourself. Through personal stories that range from broken laptops to missing keys, she shows how even frustrating moments might be protecting you from something you can't see yet.

The heart of the conversation centers on a remarkable story involving a Rolex watch, a midnight intuition, and a dating app Dr. Katie swore she'd never use. What unfolded demonstrates how following seemingly illogical guidance can lead to connections and openings that feel almost magical. 

Chapters:
00:04:10 - Stop Forcing the Plan
00:07:02 - Closing a Cycle, Opening a New One
00:14:30 - Her Midnight Nudge
00:24:30 - When Life Delays You for a Reason
00:32:44 - Surrender to What Is, Then Follow the Signs

Dr. Katie also gets vulnerable about recent losses in her business and personal life, revealing how she's learned to recognize when it's time to let go rather than get dragged through the gravel trying to hold on.

Dr. Katie explains how this approach applies directly to healing, particularly when you're faced with a diagnosis that feels like it's derailing your plans.

Listen and Learn how to understand why following signs requires patience, how to avoid getting attached to outcomes, and what happens when you trust that the magic ahead is better than anything you could orchestrate yourself.

After two years of guiding clients through integrative cancer care, Dr. Katie reflects on the most important lessons that completely transformed her practice. 

She shares why the natural healing space feels so overwhelming and confusing, even for someone with decades of medical training. If you've ever felt paralyzed by conflicting advice or stuck choosing between conventional and natural approaches, you'll understand why this clarity matters.

Dr. Katie opens up about a major pivot in her work and reveals how mitophagy and mitochondrial repair may help explain why people emerge from extended fasting as completely different versions of themselves

You'll discover why healthy mitochondria may be a missing piece in many healing journeys.

She challenges common assumptions about what creates lasting health changes. Whether you're managing a diagnosis, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking optimal wellness, Dr. Katie's insights about emotional patterns, cellular health, and the courage to pivot when something isn't working will shift how you approach your own path forward.

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Jenny Davis, world-class judo athlete and elite track cyclist now navigating a stage 4 diagnosis. Jenny was doing everything right. She'd spent over a year mastering the metabolic approach with the discipline and precision of an elite athlete.

Yet despite her discipline and conditioning, she struggled to get into ketosis. Then she completed a 30-day water fast with Dr. Katie, and something remarkable shifted. 

Within 20 hours of fasting, her body enters the healing state that used to take days to reach. But the metabolic changes were just the beginning of what this experience unlocked.

Chapters:
04:30 - Becoming a fat burning machine
07:20 - Letting go of genetic limits
10:15 - World class athlete to cancer patient
13:45 - Discovering the root causes
17:50 - When grief surfaces in silence
21:30 - The healing power of being seen
26:10 - Messages from ancestral trauma
31:40 - Surprising lab shifts after fasting
36:20 - Vision, smell, and senses rebooted
41:15 - Scars waking up to heal
46:30 - Turning a tumor into a teacher
52:10 - Meeting the authentic self again

Jenny shares processing grief she thought she'd already released, receiving messages from ancestors through vivid dreams, and watching her body heal surgical scars that were years old. 

Dr. Katie walks us through the science of what's happening during a prolonged fast. Plus, you'll hear how Jenny's relationship with her remaining lung nodule transformed from viewing it as a ticking time bomb to seeing it as something entirely different.

Listen and Learn how metabolic flexibility, ancestral healing, and reconnecting with your authentic self might be the missing pieces in your own healing journey.

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Christy Kesslering, a fellow radiation oncologist who made the same unconventional leap out of Western medicine. Their conversation opens doors to understanding how metabolism influences cancer in ways most doctors never discuss with their patients.

Dr. Kesslering reveals how her personal health struggles uncovered something most oncologists miss completely: insulin drives cancer growth far more than weight ever could. 

Chapters:
05:32 - Emotional Roots of Cancer
07:12 - Why She Left Radiation Oncology
09:48 - Redefining Integrative vs Functional Medicine
12:55 - The Power of Nutrient-Dense Real Food
16:04 - The Most Revealing Cancer Biomarkers
21:48 - Ketogenic Diet During Treatment
26:35 - Steroids, Chemo, and Better Outcomes
30:52 - Fasting vs Fasting Mimicking Diet
36:22 - Radiation Protocols and Ketosis
40:05 - Carnivore vs Carnivore-ish
47:50 - Ketone Levels and Real-World Healing

She brings years of real clinical experience counseling patients on metabolic approaches right alongside their radiation treatment. You'll discover the specific blood markers that show what's truly happening beneath the surface and why your regular lab work probably isn't telling you the whole story.

They break down exactly how to use fasting strategically around chemotherapy and radiation. Dr. Kesslering also tackles the truth about carnivore diets, hidden plant toxins, and why those trendy "fasting mimicking" packages might be doing more harm than good.

You'll want to stay until the end because Dr. Kesslering reveals why chasing the "perfect" ketosis numbers might actually be sabotaging your healing, and what matters far more than any measurement you'll find in research studies.

Listen and learn what two radiation oncologists discovered when they stopped treating symptoms and started addressing the metabolic terrain where cancer actually thrives.

You've probably heard that changing your mindset can change your health. While there's truth to that, it's missing something crucial. 

Dr. Katie sits down with Jakob Gričar, a trauma-informed coach and somatic expert, to explore why so many people spend years in therapy without real relief. He shares why  when you work with your nervous system and embrace the physical sensations you've been avoiding, you access healing that talk therapy alone misses.

Chapters:
00:06:00 – Why basic tools still dysregulate you
00:08:11 – When your trauma runs the show
00:09:55 – What somatic work actually is
00:12:21 – Let your pain tell you its story
00:17:26 – Fasting as a portal for emotional healing
00:20:32 – Fall in love with your condition
00:29:30 – Why you should not heal alone
00:33:09 – How to feel sensations instead of thoughts
00:41:00 – The cost of ignoring your inner truth
00:44:09 – Four pillars of real healing in the body

Jakob shares his own journey from chronic skin disease to complete healing, and reveals why being present with pain (rather than numbing it) might be your most powerful tool. 

Whether you're dealing with cancer, chronic illness, or just feeling stuck in patterns you can't break, this conversation will offer you a fresh perspective.
Dr. Katie and Jakob explore how everything from relationships to physical symptoms can trace back to nervous system dysregulation, and why creating calm in your body is the foundation for everything else.

You'll hear simple techniques to regulate your nervous system, understand when you need professional support and discover why authenticity isn't just a buzzword but a biological necessity. 

Listen and learn why denying what you know to be true about your life can literally make you sick, and what happens when you finally align with your authentic self.

When therapist Geneva Jacobs learned she had cancer, she remembered watching her mother go through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries at the same age. 

She knew she'd take a different path. That decision led her to a 29-day water fast that changed everything about who she is. 

Dr. Katie Deming guides you through Geneva’s story of profound transformation, where morning energy replaced exhaustion, introversion shifted to connection, and paralyzing fear dissolved into peace.

Chapters:
02:08 – Why she refused chemo after her diagnosis
04:15 – From night owl to morning person overnight
07:26 – Fear drops away and calm returns
11:40 – The refeeding epiphany hits hard
14:58 – The hawk appears at the perfect moment
20:24 – Why connection during fasting changes everything
28:43 – Dropping below the waves of emotion
33:47 – Her tumor stayed and she's grateful for it
35:20 – Mitophagy, what fasting really does
44:30 – Integration matters more than the fast itself

You'll hear how Geneva's fast brought unexpected changes she never saw coming like experiencing a spiritual awakening that revealed the perfection in her journey.  Discover why Geneva calls it the most powerful healing experience of her life. 

Dr. Katie explains why these shifts matter just as much as what happens to the tumor, diving into the science of mitochondrial healing and why fixing your cellular energy might be the key to everything.

This conversation challenges everything you think you know about successful cancer treatment.  If you've ever felt confused about what "healing" really means, or worried that you're not doing enough, this conversation offers a completely different lens for understanding your journey.

Listen and learn why the most profound healing often happens in ways you can't see on a scan, and how giving your body a chance to reset at the cellular level might unlock the vibrant life you've been seeking.

What if one of the cancer treatments that works best is the one the pharmaceutical companies can't profit from?!

Dr. Katie sits down again with Professor Thomas Seyfried to explore why the medical system resists alternative approaches to a disease that claims over 1,700 lives daily in the U.S., and what's actually driving cancer at the cellular level. They reveal a specific therapeutic strategy that targets both fuels cancer cells depend on to survive.

Dr. Seyfried explains how cancer isn't the genetic lottery you've been led to believe, it's a metabolic condition with a metabolic solution. 

You'll learn why your body's normal cells thrive on completely different fuel than cancer cells do, and how a compound called DON (a glutamine antagonist) combined with therapeutic ketosis creates conditions where healthy cells flourish while cancer cells can't survive. 

Chapters:
00:13:25 – Starving the Tumor
00:16:22 – The Banned Cancer Drug
00:21:03 – Beyond the Keto Diet
00:32:00 – Why Healing Threatens the ‘System’
00:37:15 – The Genetic Myth

Dr. Katie and Dr. Seyfried discuss the practical challenges patients face when trying to find providers who understand this science, why measuring your glucose-ketone index matters more than following any specific meal plan.

Dr. Seyfried's research team is seeing remarkable outcomes in advanced cases that conventional medicine has given up on, and he shares exactly what that approach looks like.

Listen and learn why the paradigm shift in cancer management isn't just coming, it's already here, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.

Whether you’re facing chronic pain, mysterious symptoms, or serious illness, this conversation makes the case that your body deserves your curiosity, not your fear.

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Brandon LaGreca, an licensed acupuncturist, author, and traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who once faced stage IV lymphoma, to explore a completely different lens on cancer.

Brandon shares how Chinese medicine views cancer not as bad luck, but as a messenger pointing toward imbalances in our emotional, physical, and spiritual lives.

He breaks down the difference between *how* we get cancer (external carcinogens) and *why* we get cancer (internal emotional patterns), offering a framework that finally makes sense of why some people develop cancer while others don't.

Chapters:
00:05:00 - The Type C Personality: Who Gets Cancer?
00:10:00 - Understanding Stress vs. Trauma
00:15:00 - Cancer as Teacher, Not Enemy
00:18:00 - Let Death Find You Alive
00:36:00 - The Five Elements and Emotional Roots of Cancer

Learn why people-pleasers are more susceptible to cancer and how different emotional patterns show up as cancer in specific organs. Brandon also shares his personal journey through stage four lymphoma and the profound shift that came from viewing cancer as an invitation to restore agency and live more authentically.

You'll discover how cancer can become your greatest teacher if you're willing to listen, and why restoring agency and accentuating life matter more than simply extending it.

Listen and hear, Brandon's personal vision that helped him outlive his prognosis and discover how confronting mortality can actually bring you back to life.

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Lisa Tartaglia, a dual board-certified palliative care and hospice physician, to clear up the confusion around two of healthcare's most misunderstood services.

You'll discover the real difference between palliative care and hospice, and why both focus on helping you live fully rather than simply managing decline.  Her approach challenges the common belief that these services are only for the final days of life. Dr. Tartaglia reveals why patients who receive hospice services earlier often live longer and with greater peace, plus the specific questions to ask when evaluating providers in your area.

Chapters:
05:10 Why symptoms matter more than stage
13:20 Meeting patients where they are
23:55 How a palliative consult actually works
35:45 What hospice really provides at home
42:30 How to choose the right hospice

Dr. Tartaglia shares her unique perspective as someone who's guided thousands of families through these decisions over two decades of practice. This conversation offers practical guidance you won't find in most doctor's offices. Dr. Tartaglia explains when someone qualifies for these services, how to choose the right provider, and why early involvement leads to better outcomes.

You’ll learn how to have conversations with your healthcare team about symptom management and quality of life services. They also discuss why staying true to yourself, rather than identifying completely with your diagnosis, plays a crucial role in your healing journey.

Listen and understand how these services could transform your experience with chronic illness, whether you're dealing with cancer, heart failure, or other challenging health conditions.

What would happen if you pressed pause on everything, food, routines, even the noise of everyday life and gave your body the space to speak?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Faith Laux, a somatic sex and relationship coach who faced stage 4 colon cancer and turned to a 14-day water fast. What unfolded went far beyond physical detox. Faith describes how stillness opened her to a sense of presence, connection, and clarity she never expected.

Chapters:
00:08:00 – Day six brings clarity and presence
00:21:09 – Childlike wonder in nature returns
00:26:28 – Shifting from busyness to presence
00:35:15 – Heightened senses and new nourishment
00:51:31 – Rituals, reminders, and lasting change

Together they explore what it means to see fasting not just as a physical reset, but as a sacred appointment with the divine. You’ll hear how moments of simplicity, like sitting barefoot in the grass or savoring the smell of her daughter’s breakfast became doorways into profound healing.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fatigue, cravings, or the relentless pace of life, this conversation will invite you to imagine a different way. One that isn’t about restriction, but about discovering what truly nourishes you; body, mind, and spirit.

Listen and learn how slowing down might just be the most powerful step you can take toward healing.

Dr. Katie Deming joins fellow physician Dr. Nasha Winters, host of the Metabolic Matters podcast to share a story that may forever change how you view cancer care. 

Her journey from conventional oncology to holistic healing uncovers why so many people aren’t truly getting well, even when their treatments “work.” If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed, or unseen by the medical system, this conversation will resonate deeply.

Key Takeaways:

• The word that divides patients and doctors
• How trauma shows up in the body
• When medicine ignores your intuition
• How a 17-day fast changed everything

Dr. Deming reveals fascinating research on how words like “battle” and “survivor” can trigger stress responses that disrupt healing. She offers practical tools for navigating illness, how to trust your inner wisdom when medical advice doesn’t feel right, and why addressing emotional trauma is just as important as treating physical symptoms.

What makes her perspective so unique is that she doesn’t reject medicine, she expands it. With one foot in science and the other in ancient healing traditions, Dr. Deming shares how modalities like water fasting and energy work can support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Listen in on this deeply personal conversation between two physicians who’ve witnessed healing that textbooks can’t explain.

What if everything you’ve been told about preventing cancer is actually making you sicker?

Dr. Katie Deming guests on Chris and Kevin Carton’s Science and Spirituality Podcast to share her radical shift from respected radiation oncologist to pioneer of Conscious Oncology. 

Dr. Deming is helping people achieve what many doctors believe is impossible: true healing from cancer, in some cases without chemo or radiation. 

Drawing from her integrative approach, she unpacks why cancer rates are still rising despite trillions spent on research, and why modern life tap water, seed oils, blue light, processed food, and emotional trauma may be silently undermining our health.

Key Takeways:

• Why your filtered water may still be toxic and how to fix it
• The fourth phase of water most doctors never learn about
• Why morning sunlight, not sunscreen, may be the missing nutrient in your routine
• How unprocessed trauma and emotional patterns contribute to illness

The mindset shift that helped two of her clients achieve full remission in just five months.

They're not talking about perfection or expensive protocols, but remind us how we were designed to live and heal.

Listen and learn specific, accessible tools starting with something as simple as adding the right salt to your water or getting barefoot on the earth.

In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Katie Deming opens up about a major shift happening in her integrative oncology practice – one that might surprise even her longtime listeners. 

After spending over a year helping cancer patients navigate both conventional and holistic approaches, she's discovered something that's changing how she thinks about true healing. 

Through her work with prolonged water fasting, she's witnessing results that would have seemed impossible during her two decades as a radiation oncologist.

When clients are avoiding mastectomies and brain tumors are disappearing after water fasts, it becomes clear that something profound is at work. She's not sharing theory here, but real stories from her practice that challenge everything we think we know about cancer.

Learn the four essential pillars that Dr. Katie has identified in patients who achieve what researchers call "radical remissions." She breaks down how water fasting naturally addresses each of these areas: calming the nervous system, detoxifying on multiple levels, proper nourishment, and authentic alignment with one's true self.

What’s behind this radical shift? 

Dr. Katie explains why she's stepping away from the "noise" of trying to offer every possible solution and instead focusing on the one approach that consistently delivers the most profound results. 

Listen and gain insight into what it means to follow your authentic path in both healing and life, even when that path feels uncertain or goes against conventional wisdom.

Dr. Katie Deming is joined by psychotherapist Sandra Wallin and Kim Scanlon, whose husband, Keith, is navigating a cancer diagnosis. Kim shares how her journey from overwhelmed “caregiver” to empowered partner began with discovering PSYCH-K, a powerful yet gentle technique for shifting limiting beliefs stored in the subconscious mind.

Kim's search for the "lightness" Dr. Deming's promise turned into a transformative journey that helped her manage fear and find calm before stressful medical appointments using simple techniques she could do anywhere.

Chapters:
00:06:00 – Joining the PSYCH-K Workshop Alone
00:09:49 – Redefining Caregiver
00:19:26 – Practicing as Partners
00:40:00 – Trusting Your Instincts

Sandra explains how PSYCH-K works with the body’s natural wisdom to create lasting change without needing to relive trauma. Unlike traditional approaches, it empowers people to shift perception and emotions quickly, often leading to profound shifts in relationships and self-trust.

They shed light on the often-unspoken experience of partners supporting loved ones through illness, offering both validation and practical tools for anyone navigating fear, medical systems, and changing roles.

Listen and learn how to bring more presence, lightness, and intimacy than you ever thought possible.

Dr. Jason Konner, medical oncologist and full professor at one of America's leading cancer hospitals, sits down with Dr. Katie Deming to reveal his transformation from skeptical scientist to advocate for consciousness-based healing. 

After two decades in academic medicine, a transformative experience with plant medicine radically shifted how he understands consciousness, mortality, and what it means to truly care for cancer patients.

Chapters:
00:07:00 – First Plant Medicine Experience
00:12:00 – Healing Fear of Death
00:14:40 – A Third Way to Be Present
00:21:25 – Awakening to a Bigger Mission

In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Konner opens up about the emotional toll of oncology, the blind spots of conventional care, and the spiritual awakening that led him to leave one of the most prestigious cancer centers in the world. 
Together, he and Dr. Deming, who left her own career in radiation oncology, explore what happens when doctors follow their inner calling, even when it means stepping away from career stability.

This is for healthcare professionals feeling burnout, cancer patients and families seeking whole-person healing, and anyone curious about how spiritual experiences can reshape our relationship with suffering, death, and true wellness.

Many women over 60 with early-stage, estrogen-positive breast cancer find themselves navigating a confusing treatment landscape. Different specialists may recommend different therapies without clearly explaining whether all of them are necessary. 

Dr. Katie Deming draws on her 20 years as a board-certified radiation oncologist to break down decades of research that challenge the idea that more treatment is always better.

Now practicing integrative oncology, she understands the science behind standard treatment protocols and also recognizes how these decisions affect real life. Her experience inside the conventional medical system gives her the insight to question current practices while still honoring the research that supports more personalized approaches.

Dr. Katie addresses a critical issue many women face: being prescribed multiple treatments without knowing if both are needed. 

She walks you through key studies like CALGB 9343 and PRIME II in simple terms. She explains what recurrence rate may be acceptable for some women, especially when compared to the long-term side effects of hormone therapy. 

She also explores how radiation, while more intensive in the short term, might be a better option for those who prefer a time-limited treatment.

Listen, learn, and you understand your options so you can make choices that align with your values and quality of life.

Have you ever felt trapped by endless food restrictions, overwhelmed by contradictory nutrition advice surrounding dairy, and exhausted from searching for truly healing foods?

Dr. Katie Deming and Monica discuss why cancer patients and others dealing with chronic illness have been unnecessarily eliminating an entire food group that could actually aid their healing journey.

If you've sworn off dairy because it has lactose or it makes you bloat, feel sluggish, or causes digestive upset, this conversation with holistic nutritionist and chef Monica Corrado might completely change your perspective. 

Chapters:
00:08:00 – How to Make Long-Cultured Yogurt Without Fancy Equipment
00:18:19 – What Whey Can Do That Protein Powder Can’t
00:26:35 – Is Kefir Better Than Yogurt?
00:33:00 – What Raw Milk Has That Store-Bought Never Will
00:44:00 – The Best Calcium Source 

Monica reveals why most people who think they're lactose intolerant are actually reacting to something entirely different - and shares a simple kitchen technique that transforms inflammatory dairy into healing medicine.

Drawing from decades of teaching traditional food preparation methods, she explains how our ancestors safely consumed dairy for thousands of years and why modern processing has created the problems we face today.

Listen and discover why the "healthy" dairy products filling grocery store shelves might be keeping you from accessing dairy's true healing potential.

In this milestone 100th episode of Born to Heal, Dr. Katie Deming shares a profound realization that emerged from her 20 years as a radiation oncologist and countless hours spent with patients facing the end of life. 

Through intimate stories from her early days volunteering at hospice to her recent practice as an integrative oncologist, she reveals why the most common regret among dying patients has absolutely nothing to do with their medical outcomes. 
This deeply personal exploration challenges the fundamental assumptions we hold about what it means to heal.

Drawing from decades of clinical experience and her own transformative shared death experience, Dr. Deming offers a unique perspective that bridges conventional medicine with spiritual wisdom. 

As someone who has witnessed both the power and limitations of Western medicine from the inside, she brings credibility and compassion to complex questions about healing that most medical professionals never address. Her insights come not from theory, but from real conversations with real people facing their mortality.

Listen to discover the essential elements of true healing that go far beyond physical recovery.

Have you ever had that nagging sensation that something feels completely wrong, despite everyone telling you it's the logical choice?

Dr. Katie's journey from respected oncologist to intuitive healer didn't happen overnight. She spent years ignoring the whispers telling her to leave a successful medical career that looked perfect on paper.

It started with embarrassing moments like sending strange messages to near-strangers about meditation visions, and midnight decisions that went against everything she'd sworn she'd never do.

Each time she followed these inexplicable nudges, doors opened in ways that logic could never have predicted. From unexpected TEDx opportunities to finding love when she least expected it, her story reveals how our bodies constantly communicate what they need for healing.

There’s growing awareness, supported by both science and lived experience, that the body often registers what’s best for us before the mind catches up. Dr. Katie shares the specific technique she uses to tap into these inner signals when making big decisions, turning those confusing gut feelings into clear direction.

Listen and discover why the most healing choices often feel the scariest, and learn a practical method for accessing your own internal guidance system; no certifications or special tools required.

Can a 14-day water fast support healing after cancer—especially at age 74?

Dr. Katie welcomes Ciely Gray, a lifelong holistic practitioner who was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer at 71 years old and offered a mastectomy. 

Instead, she chose a different path rooted in decades of body-based wisdom. With Dr. Katie’s guidance, Ciely recently completed a two-week supervised water-only fast to support her continued healing.

Together, they explore what fasting actually looks and feels like physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Ciely shares how she moved through body changes, emotional releases, and the unexpected challenge of doing nothing. Group support and inner listening became key elements of her experience.

Chapters:
07:00 – How She Detected Breast Cancer
12:18 – What Fasting Actually Felt Like
15:00 – Letting Go of Doing
22:00 – Trusting the Body to Heal
32:17 – Scan Results After Fasting

Many think fasting is just about food, but for Ciely, it became a mirror for her thoughts, identity, and beliefs. From restless nights to moments of deep clarity, she invites us into the quieter layers of healing, the kind that happens when we stop fixing and start listening.

If you're curious about natural approaches to healing, especially post-diagnosis, this episode offers a grounded and inspiring look at fasting as a tool for long-term wellness. 

Listen and learn how her scan results changed and why trusting the body may be one of the most important things we can learn.

What if you’ve been avoiding one of the most powerful foods for healing your body? 

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Monica Corrado, a teaching chef and expert in traditional food preparation. Together, they unpack one of the most misunderstood foods in modern nutrition: red meat. They discuss the surprising truth about how properly raised and prepared red meat can support deep healing, especially for those dealing with inflammation, digestive issues, and chronic illness.

Chapters:
07:15 - Nutritional Benefits of Beef
09:50 - Plant-Based Diet Challenges
15:05 - The Protein Powder Problem
21:55 - Milk Substitute Warnings
36:10 - Cooking Meat for Healing

They also dig into the growing popularity of plant-based diets and expose the lesser-known problems they can create. From anti-nutrients in vegetables to the difficulty of digesting plant proteins, Monica explains why a plant-heavy approach isn’t always the answer, especially for people trying to heal. 

You’ll hear why the body’s need for bioavailable protein, collagen, and animal fats can’t be met by powders, peas, or nut milks, no matter how clean the label looks. Asking critical questions about whether today’s plant-based hype is built on solid ground. 

Are you tired of confusing health advice and want simple, practical steps to feel better? You’ll learn what to look for when buying meat, what terms like “grass-finished” actually mean, and why certain red meats can either fuel inflammation or support deep healing. 

Listen and discover surprising facts about the foods you thought were healthy and why they may be doing more harm than good.

Dr. Katie Deming is joined by Sandra Wallin, a psychotherapist, certified PSYCH-K® instructor, and equine-guided practitioner, to explore a surprising key to healing that most people overlook: the subconscious mind. 

If you’ve ever hit a plateau in therapy or felt stuck on your healing path, this conversation might shine a light on why and what you can do next. This isn’t about willpower or pushing harder, but learning how to shift what's beneath the surface.

Chapters:
06:14 – Why Subconscious Beliefs Shape Healing
11:48 – Katie’s Experience Learning PSYCH-K® 
17:47 – How Group Workshops Create Safety
29:47 – Mentoring Through Real-Life Healing Moments
38:12 – From Illness to Imagining What’s Next

Katie and Sandra unpack why traditional talk therapy may not be enough when it comes to real emotional and physical healing. You’ll hear about the 95% of your mind that operates below awareness and how it might be steering your body, beliefs, and well-being without you realizing it. 

You’ll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how people, especially those facing illness, are using a simple, science-supported method to feel better faster. And you don’t need years of therapy or special credentials to use it. In fact, some people start noticing real changes after just one session.

Listen and learn how to get unstuck and move forward—body, mind, and spirit.

What if a cancer diagnosis is not the end of your story, but rather the beginning of a more authentic way of living?

Dr. Katie Deming shares essential wisdom for anyone newly diagnosed with cancer. She explains why "stopping your world" might be the most crucial step you can take after diagnosis.

Dr. Katie reveals the hidden metrics that drive conventional treatment timelines and provides practical questions to ask your doctors about benefits, risks, and side effects of proposed treatments.

What would you do first if you received a cancer diagnosis? 

Dr. Katie shares why a 30-day water fast would be her first response to cancer—and why many health experts like Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Jason Fung agree. Dr. Deming presents six compelling reasons why prolonged water fasting creates powerful healing opportunities for cancer patients. 

She explains how cancer as a metabolic condition responds to fasting, why it helps detoxify the body on physical, emotional and mental levels, and how it flips the script on cancer's parasitic nature. 

You'll hear real examples of clients who experienced profound healing through this approach, including one whose brain tumor completely disappeared.

Key Takeaways:

• How to shut down your cancer’s fuel source
• Letting go of years of toxic buildup
• What a stronger gut means to you
• Clarity comes when the noise inside quiets down

Dr. Deming transparently shares her journey from skepticism to conviction based on client outcomes she never witnessed in traditional medicine. Her honest assessment of water fasting challenges common medical assumptions while offering hope to those seeking alternatives or complementary approaches.

Dr. Deming explains the science behind water fasting while acknowledging safety considerations and proper supervision. 

Listen and expand your understanding of what's possible when we create the right conditions for our bodies to heal themselves naturally.

Dr. Katie Deming speaks with Monica Corrado, known as "The GAPS Chef" and a leading expert in traditional cooking techniques. She helps us understand the foundations of eating for both physical and neurological wellbeing.
