Ever notice how quickly conventional oncology jumps straight to chemo, radiation, or the scalpel—and how rarely anyone asks why that tumor showed up in the first place?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt, naturopathic physician and author of the Amazon bestseller A Better Way to Treat Cancer. Michael has treated 100,000‑plus patients since 1987 and hosts Integrative Cancer Solutions and Integrative Lyme Solutions podcasts. His message is simple: cancer is less a genetic death sentence and more of a whole‑body systems failure which we can reverse, once we fix inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, mindset, and (yes) the gut.

Michael shares the real root causes of cancer that no one is talking about. He reveals how cancer cells hijack our natural energy-producing pathways, why detecting a tumor is just the tip of the iceberg, and how to create an environment where cancer cells simply can't survive.

Whether you're currently battling cancer or on a healing journey, or you are fortunate to have a clean bill of health, this episode will arm you with the tools to kick cancer to the curb for good. Let's dive in.

“I don't think that it (cancer) is a genetic disorder. I think genetics is something that is kind of secondary. I believe that it is that shift in how the cell produces energy." ~ Dr. Michael Karlfeldt
