Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show! This week, I’m excited to welcome back Dr. Marisa Catapano, board-certified naturopathic oncologist and certified Neo Emotional Release practitioner. Dr. Catapano’s journey into integrative oncology was inspired by her mother’s battle with stage 4 breast cancer—and today, she helps patients address the emotional and physical root causes of disease while navigating conventional cancer treatment.
In this powerful conversation, we dive into how mind-body medicine plays a vital role in cancer care, how suppressed emotions impact immune function, and why joy and emotional expression are critical to healing.
Dr. Marisa Catapano is a board-certified, licensed Naturopathic Doctor, certified Neo Emotional Release Practitioner, and Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO). She specializes in holistic healing, emotional well-being, and integrative cancer care. Her work is dedicated to helping patients build resilience and navigate cancer with empowerment and compassion.
In Today’s Episode We Discuss:
- How naturopathic oncology works alongside conventional treatment
