Integrating metabolic science with personalized cancer care.
Integrative Metabolic Oncology addresses the body as an interconnected system—optimizing energy, inflammation, detoxification, hormones, and immune balance.
By restoring these foundations, we enhance treatment response, resilience, and long-term health.
A Data-Driven Path to Healing
In complex conditions like cancer, every decision matters. Without data, most care is based on generalized protocols or guesswork.
The Test → Assess → Address (TM) model removes uncertainty by grounding each step in evidence:
-
Test Objective data provides the truth about what is happening inside the body. Symptoms alone rarely reveal the full picture.
Advanced testing uncovers hidden imbalances in metabolism, inflammation, hormones, detox pathways, and immune regulation.
-
Assess Testing is only valuable if it’s interpreted correctly. By analyzing patterns, shifts, and connections across multiple markers, we see the terrain as a whole system.
This prevents oversimplified decisions and ensures we focus on what’s truly driving disease.
-
Address With this clarity, interventions are targeted and precise.
Every nutritional, lifestyle, or therapeutic choice is informed by data, reducing wasted effort and maximizing impact.

Patient Services
Initial Terrain Consultation
Your first consultation includes a thorough exploration of your health history, current concerns, and personal goals. We take the time to understand not just your symptoms, but the context around them—past treatments, environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and the patterns that have shaped your health over time.
Using advanced laboratory and terrain-focused testing, we map out the underlying metabolic and physiological imbalances contributing to your condition. This process gives us a clear picture of how your systems are functioning and where support is most needed.
Functional Lab Review & Interpretation
We review all aspects of your medical data, including pathology results, hormone profiles, inflammatory and immune markers, and measures of mitochondrial and detox function.
Our goal is to take this complex information and make it meaningful—helping you understand what your body is communicating and what steps can best support your healing and resilience.
Ongoing Support & Case Management
Your health is continually shifting, and effective care must adapt with it. Through regular review of your symptoms, laboratory markers, and treatment progress, we refine your plan to ensure it remains clinically appropriate and precisely targeted to your current needs.
This ongoing oversight allows us to respond to changes in your metabolic terrain, address emerging imbalances early, and keep your strategy aligned with both your immediate treatment demands and long-term health goals.

THE TRIFECTA OF INFLAMMATION IN ONCOLOGY
Inflammation is one of the most reliable windows into cancer activity and treatment response. In my clinical practice, the hs-CRP, ESR, and LDH “trifecta” offers a straightforward yet powerful way to track disease behavior in real time. Understanding these markers helps clinicians interpret patterns that imaging alone often misses.
