The Mel Robbins Podcast · Mayo Clinic Cancer Doctor: 5 Foods That Heal the Body, Starve Cancer, & Prevent Disease · 23 Oct 2025 podcast

So I just learned so much about the human experience, both when we're well, when I was younger, as well as what it's like to be a patient when you're not well.

Yes.

So, you know, the doctor said, you're going to need to do chemotherapy.

And I didn't question it.

I knew my body needed chemotherapy.

Here I am in the specialty of integrative oncology, where I really use evidence-backed natural therapies to help to mitigate the toxicities of treatment, to improve the outcomes of treatment, and also reduce other chronic diseases.

I knew that I needed the chemotherapy to get rid of this cancer.

So were you studying cancer medicine?

Is that why you went to medical school?

You know, I have a fascinating background.

Before I went to traditional medical school, I actually went to naturopathic school and my undergraduate training was in exercise physiology and nutrition.

Okay.

So this has just been like weaved into my spirit and soul since I was actually a little girl.

As a young kid, people would ask, what do you want to be when you grow up?

Like they always, I said, I want to live to be a hundred years old.

I just loved wellness.

I was actually obsessed with it.

I thought it was the coolest thing.

How old are you right now?

Right.
