Your Body Knows How to Heal Join Dr. Katie Deming, M.D., a seasoned Radiation Oncologist, Healthcare Leader, and inspiring Tedx speaker, as she bridges the gap between Western Medicine and Holistic Healing.

Every week, Dr. Katie, alongside a variety of guests, will introduce you to holistic methods that not only prevent illness but also empower you to activate your innate healing capabilities.
