What if the real healing from cancer isn't solely focused on making the tumor disappear, but transforming the person carrying it?

When therapist Geneva Jacobs learned she had cancer, she remembered watching her mother go through chemotherapy, radiation, and surgeries at the same age. 

She knew she'd take a different path. That decision led her to a 29-day water fast that changed everything about who she is. 

Dr. Katie Deming guides you through Geneva’s story of profound transformation, where morning energy replaced exhaustion, introversion shifted to connection, and paralyzing fear dissolved into peace.

Chapters:
02:08 – Why she refused chemo after her diagnosis
04:15 – From night owl to morning person overnight
07:26 – Fear drops away and calm returns
11:40 – The refeeding epiphany hits hard
14:58 – The hawk appears at the perfect moment
20:24 – Why connection during fasting changes everything
28:43 – Dropping below the waves of emotion
33:47 – Her tumor stayed and she's grateful for it
35:20 – Mitophagy, what fasting really does
44:30 – Integration matters more than the fast itself

You'll hear how Geneva's fast brought unexpected changes she never saw coming like experiencing a spiritual awakening that revealed the perfection in her journey.  Discover why Geneva calls it the most powerful healing experience of her life. 

Dr. Katie explains why these shifts matter just as much as what happens to the tumor, diving into the science of mitochondrial healing and why fixing your cellular energy might be the key to everything.

This conversation challenges everything you think you know about successful cancer treatment.  If you've ever felt confused about what "healing" really means, or worried that you're not doing enough, this conversation offers a completely different lens for understanding your journey.

Listen and learn why the most profound healing often happens in ways you can't see on a scan, and how giving your body a chance to reset at the cellular level might unlock the vibrant life you've been seeking.

What if the cancer treatment that works best is the one pharmaceutical companies can't profit from? 

What if one of the cancer treatments that works best is the one the pharmaceutical companies can't profit from?!

Dr. Katie sits down again with Professor Thomas Seyfried to explore why the medical system resists alternative approaches to a disease that claims over 1,700 lives daily in the U.S., and what's actually driving cancer at the cellular level. They reveal a specific therapeutic strategy that targets both fuels cancer cells depend on to survive.

Dr. Seyfried explains how cancer isn't the genetic lottery you've been led to believe, it's a metabolic condition with a metabolic solution. 

You'll learn why your body's normal cells thrive on completely different fuel than cancer cells do, and how a compound called DON (a glutamine antagonist) combined with therapeutic ketosis creates conditions where healthy cells flourish while cancer cells can't survive. 

Chapters:
00:13:25 – Starving the Tumor
00:16:22 – The Banned Cancer Drug
00:21:03 – Beyond the Keto Diet
00:32:00 – Why Healing Threatens the ‘System’
00:37:15 – The Genetic Myth

Dr. Katie and Dr. Seyfried discuss the practical challenges patients face when trying to find providers who understand this science, why measuring your glucose-ketone index matters more than following any specific meal plan.

Dr. Seyfried's research team is seeing remarkable outcomes in advanced cases that conventional medicine has given up on, and he shares exactly what that approach looks like.

Listen and learn why the paradigm shift in cancer management isn't just coming, it's already here, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.

What if the most powerful cancer treatment costs nothing and has been hiding in plain sight for over a century?

Join Dr. Katie Deming MD as she sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters, who survived terminal ovarian cancer at age 19 without conventional treatment. Dr. Winters now trains doctors worldwide in metabolic approaches that challenge everything we've been taught about cancer and healing.

Dr. Deming brings her insider perspective from 20 years in conventional oncology, while Dr. Winters reveals why she accidentally discovered one of medicine's most suppressed healing tools. They examine the fascinating battle between two cancer theories that will completely change how you think about your health and why the losing theory from 100 years ago might hold the key to everything.

Chapters:
00:05:25 - Metabolic vs. Genetic Theories of Cancer
00:15:14 - Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer at 19
00:23:32 - Functional Medicine vs. Metabolic Approach
00:34:44 - Fasting as a Healing Tool
00:47:59 - The Future of Cancer Care

If you're overwhelmed by conflicting health advice, wondering why disease rates keep climbing despite medical "progress," or feeling like something crucial is missing from wellness conversations, this conversation cuts through the confusion. You'll discover Dr. Winters' systematic approach that identifies what's really driving illness in your unique body.

Listen and learn about an ancient practice that modern medicine abandoned, one that could transform your relationship with healing forever.

Today we are on Episode #24 titled, Rest and Healing.

I wanted to cover a topic that is brought up very often in my practice. One of the most common questions I seem to get is “Can I work during treatment?”.

In most cases, many people still work through their treatment, but then when they ask me if I advise it… I believe otherwise.

Does your body need to rest to heal especially during cancer treatment?

Well, I believe that in order to heal you need time and space for doing nothing. Join me in the conversation.

Stay tuned.

We're on Part 4 on The Physics of Healing Series, Episode 23 titled, Getting Out of Certainty.

In the last episode, we talked about 'possibility' as it relates to quantum physics. I explained how living in possibility allows you to create more of what you want, and to create things that are even better than you could imagine. Though I felt it was important to address certainty as well.

The truth is nobody knows what's going to happen tomorrow or in the future. Even your doctors don't know what's going to happen.

Granted, it's easier said than done However, accepting that you don't need to know and frankly, won't know how the future will turn out, will actually free up a lot of mental space for you. Be in the moment, right now. That's all we have control of right now.

This is what this episode is all about. Stay tuned.

We’re on Part 2, The Physics of Healing Series, Episode 21 titled, Creating Your Reality.

Now that we know that everything is energy, everything has its own vibration, and that we can use our emotions to dictate where we are on the vibrational scale, how do we move on to using this information to create the reality that we want?

Well turns out that there are studies that explain how our participation in our universe impacts what is created in what we experience and the study that I will be talking about is the called the The Double-Slit Experiment. You will soon find out how this all plays into the world of the medicine and manifesting perfect health and well-being.

What lifestyle choices can reduce your risk before cancer develops? (Video Re- Release - Watch here: https://youtu.be/fAZ81saCTOA?si=3PipGywmSY5mOlxS)

Dr. Katie Deming sat down with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, professor of biology at Boston College and author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease.

Together, they explore how cancer cells depend on sugar and glutamine for fuel, why the mitochondria, not DNA mutations, may be at the heart of the disease, and what this understanding means for prevention and treatment.

Key Highlights:

• Can dietary changes, fasting, and exercise support treatment once cancer is diagnosed? 
• Why should patients and doctors pay attention to the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) to measure how the body is fueling itself?
• What can you do today to reduce your risk of chronic illness?

Dr. Seyfried explains the Warburg Effect, the role of dysfunctional mitochondria in cancer growth, and why standard treatments may sometimes work against us by feeding cancer's energy needs.

Listen, learn the surprising story of how weight loss, not a new drug, led to dramatic tumor reduction in lab studies.

On today's episode, we are talking about feeling down at the end of treatment. And this is something that I was never trained on or never really understood very well. However, it's something that I have come to understand through caring through all my patients. When you finish treatment, sometimes people feel really anxious and down.  So on this episode, I want to talk about why does this happen and what are the things that you can do to navigate through this period, and really help yourself feel better.

What if the biggest obstacle to your healing isn't your diagnosis but the beliefs hiding in your subconscious mind?

Watch the Video Version Here: https://youtu.be/_Fmkj45mke8

Revisit Dr. Katie Deming and Peter Crone, known as "The Mind Architect," conversation from last year. They explored how our deeply embedded beliefs and thought patterns shape our reality in ways we often don't recognize.

Peter shared compelling insights into how childhood experiences and societal conditioning create subconscious "prisons" that limit our growth and well-being. You'll discover why positive thinking alone often falls short, and how to access the deeper layers of your mind to create lasting transformation. 

Learn how our subconscious beliefs can directly impact our physical health. You'll gain valuable insights into why some people seem to heal more readily than others, and how you can harness your mind's power to support your own healing journey.

Peter shares practical approaches and strategies you can implement immediately to become more aware of your subconscious patterns and begin reshaping them.

What if the very words your doctor uses could help or harm your healing journey?

Dr. Katie Deming joins fellow physician Dr. Nasha Winters, host of the Metabolic Matters podcast to share a story that may forever change how you view cancer care. 

Her journey from conventional oncology to holistic healing uncovers why so many people aren’t truly getting well, even when their treatments “work.” If you’ve ever felt dismissed, rushed, or unseen by the medical system, this conversation will resonate deeply.

Key Takeaways:

• The word that divides patients and doctors
• How trauma shows up in the body
• When medicine ignores your intuition
• How a 17-day fast changed everything

Dr. Deming reveals fascinating research on how words like “battle” and “survivor” can trigger stress responses that disrupt healing. She offers practical tools for navigating illness, how to trust your inner wisdom when medical advice doesn’t feel right, and why addressing emotional trauma is just as important as treating physical symptoms.

What makes her perspective so unique is that she doesn’t reject medicine, she expands it. With one foot in science and the other in ancient healing traditions, Dr. Deming shares how modalities like water fasting and energy work can support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Listen in on this deeply personal conversation between two physicians who’ve witnessed healing that textbooks can’t explain.

What if everything you’ve been told about preventing cancer is actually making you sicker?

Dr. Katie Deming guests on Chris and Kevin Carton’s Science and Spirituality Podcast to share her radical shift from respected radiation oncologist to pioneer of Conscious Oncology. 

Dr. Deming is helping people achieve what many doctors believe is impossible: true healing from cancer, in some cases without chemo or radiation. 

Drawing from her integrative approach, she unpacks why cancer rates are still rising despite trillions spent on research, and why modern life tap water, seed oils, blue light, processed food, and emotional trauma may be silently undermining our health.

Key Takeways:

• Why your filtered water may still be toxic and how to fix it
• The fourth phase of water most doctors never learn about
• Why morning sunlight, not sunscreen, may be the missing nutrient in your routine
• How unprocessed trauma and emotional patterns contribute to illness

The mindset shift that helped two of her clients achieve full remission in just five months.

They're not talking about perfection or expensive protocols, but remind us how we were designed to live and heal.

Listen and learn specific, accessible tools starting with something as simple as adding the right salt to your water or getting barefoot on the earth.

Do you believe the most powerful healing happens when you strip everything down to the basics?

In this deeply personal episode, Dr. Katie Deming opens up about a major shift happening in her integrative oncology practice – one that might surprise even her longtime listeners. 

After spending over a year helping cancer patients navigate both conventional and holistic approaches, she's discovered something that's changing how she thinks about true healing. 

Through her work with prolonged water fasting, she's witnessing results that would have seemed impossible during her two decades as a radiation oncologist.

When clients are avoiding mastectomies and brain tumors are disappearing after water fasts, it becomes clear that something profound is at work. She's not sharing theory here, but real stories from her practice that challenge everything we think we know about cancer.

Learn the four essential pillars that Dr. Katie has identified in patients who achieve what researchers call "radical remissions." She breaks down how water fasting naturally addresses each of these areas: calming the nervous system, detoxifying on multiple levels, proper nourishment, and authentic alignment with one's true self.

What’s behind this radical shift? 

Dr. Katie explains why she's stepping away from the "noise" of trying to offer every possible solution and instead focusing on the one approach that consistently delivers the most profound results. 

Listen and gain insight into what it means to follow your authentic path in both healing and life, even when that path feels uncertain or goes against conventional wisdom.

What if supporting a loved one through cancer could become a path to personal healing and deeper connection?

Dr. Katie Deming is joined by psychotherapist Sandra Wallin and Kim Scanlon, whose husband, Keith, is navigating a cancer diagnosis. Kim shares how her journey from overwhelmed “caregiver” to empowered partner began with discovering PSYCH-K, a powerful yet gentle technique for shifting limiting beliefs stored in the subconscious mind.

Kim's search for the "lightness" Dr. Deming's promise turned into a transformative journey that helped her manage fear and find calm before stressful medical appointments using simple techniques she could do anywhere.

Chapters:
00:06:00 – Joining the PSYCH-K Workshop Alone
00:09:49 – Redefining Caregiver
00:19:26 – Practicing as Partners
00:40:00 – Trusting Your Instincts

Sandra explains how PSYCH-K works with the body’s natural wisdom to create lasting change without needing to relive trauma. Unlike traditional approaches, it empowers people to shift perception and emotions quickly, often leading to profound shifts in relationships and self-trust.

They shed light on the often-unspoken experience of partners supporting loved ones through illness, offering both validation and practical tools for anyone navigating fear, medical systems, and changing roles.

Listen and learn how to bring more presence, lightness, and intimacy than you ever thought possible.

What drives a respected oncologist to step away from a prestigious career for the healing potential of plant medicine?

Dr. Jason Konner, medical oncologist and full professor at one of America's leading cancer hospitals, sits down with Dr. Katie Deming to reveal his transformation from skeptical scientist to advocate for consciousness-based healing. 

After two decades in academic medicine, a transformative experience with plant medicine radically shifted how he understands consciousness, mortality, and what it means to truly care for cancer patients.

Chapters:
00:07:00 – First Plant Medicine Experience
00:12:00 – Healing Fear of Death
00:14:40 – A Third Way to Be Present
00:21:25 – Awakening to a Bigger Mission

In this deeply personal conversation, Dr. Konner opens up about the emotional toll of oncology, the blind spots of conventional care, and the spiritual awakening that led him to leave one of the most prestigious cancer centers in the world. 
Together, he and Dr. Deming, who left her own career in radiation oncology, explore what happens when doctors follow their inner calling, even when it means stepping away from career stability.

This is for healthcare professionals feeling burnout, cancer patients and families seeking whole-person healing, and anyone curious about how spiritual experiences can reshape our relationship with suffering, death, and true wellness.

What if you've been told you need both radiation and anti-estrogen therapy after breast cancer surgery, but the evidence suggests one treatment might be enough?

Many women over 60 with early-stage, estrogen-positive breast cancer find themselves navigating a confusing treatment landscape. Different specialists may recommend different therapies without clearly explaining whether all of them are necessary. 

Dr. Katie Deming draws on her 20 years as a board-certified radiation oncologist to break down decades of research that challenge the idea that more treatment is always better.

Now practicing integrative oncology, she understands the science behind standard treatment protocols and also recognizes how these decisions affect real life. Her experience inside the conventional medical system gives her the insight to question current practices while still honoring the research that supports more personalized approaches.

Dr. Katie addresses a critical issue many women face: being prescribed multiple treatments without knowing if both are needed. 

She walks you through key studies like CALGB 9343 and PRIME II in simple terms. She explains what recurrence rate may be acceptable for some women, especially when compared to the long-term side effects of hormone therapy. 

She also explores how radiation, while more intensive in the short term, might be a better option for those who prefer a time-limited treatment.

Listen, learn, and you understand your options so you can make choices that align with your values and quality of life.

Have you ever felt trapped by endless food restrictions, overwhelmed by contradictory nutrition advice surrounding dairy, and exhausted from searching for truly healing foods?

Dr. Katie Deming and Monica discuss why cancer patients and others dealing with chronic illness have been unnecessarily eliminating an entire food group that could actually aid their healing journey.

If you've sworn off dairy because it has lactose or it makes you bloat, feel sluggish, or causes digestive upset, this conversation with holistic nutritionist and chef Monica Corrado might completely change your perspective. 

Chapters:
00:08:00 – How to Make Long-Cultured Yogurt Without Fancy Equipment
00:18:19 – What Whey Can Do That Protein Powder Can’t
00:26:35 – Is Kefir Better Than Yogurt?
00:33:00 – What Raw Milk Has That Store-Bought Never Will
00:44:00 – The Best Calcium Source 

Monica reveals why most people who think they're lactose intolerant are actually reacting to something entirely different - and shares a simple kitchen technique that transforms inflammatory dairy into healing medicine.

Drawing from decades of teaching traditional food preparation methods, she explains how our ancestors safely consumed dairy for thousands of years and why modern processing has created the problems we face today.

Listen and discover why the "healthy" dairy products filling grocery store shelves might be keeping you from accessing dairy's true healing potential.

Why do some people find peace despite serious illness while others remain anxious even after successful treatment?

In this milestone 100th episode of Born to Heal, Dr. Katie Deming shares a profound realization that emerged from her 20 years as a radiation oncologist and countless hours spent with patients facing the end of life. 

Through intimate stories from her early days volunteering at hospice to her recent practice as an integrative oncologist, she reveals why the most common regret among dying patients has absolutely nothing to do with their medical outcomes. 
This deeply personal exploration challenges the fundamental assumptions we hold about what it means to heal.

Drawing from decades of clinical experience and her own transformative shared death experience, Dr. Deming offers a unique perspective that bridges conventional medicine with spiritual wisdom. 

As someone who has witnessed both the power and limitations of Western medicine from the inside, she brings credibility and compassion to complex questions about healing that most medical professionals never address. Her insights come not from theory, but from real conversations with real people facing their mortality.

Listen to discover the essential elements of true healing that go far beyond physical recovery.

When your doctor says you need “cancer treatment,” do you know what that actually means?

Most people immediately think of chemotherapy. But if you or someone you love is facing a cancer diagnosis, understanding the full range of treatment options could be the difference between feeling overwhelmed and feeling empowered.

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Jason Konner, a medical oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, to break down the three main types of systemic cancer treatment used today: chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and immunotherapies.

Chapters:
03:43 – Three Main Types of Cancer Treatment
16:34 – Why First-Line Therapies Matter
20:48 – Combining Holistic and Conventional Care
31:23 – Essential Questions to Ask Your Oncologist

Dr. Konner shares the insider perspective on second opinions, what those complex drug names really mean, and how to build the kind of relationship with your medical team that leads to better outcomes.

You’ll learn how some patients unknowingly sabotage their own care and what questions can instantly make you a more informed patient. 

Listen and learn how to walk into any oncologist's office with confidence, ask the right questions, and truly understand your options.

Don't let medical jargon and complex choices keep you in the dark when clear thinking matters most.

Have you ever had that nagging sensation that something feels completely wrong, despite everyone telling you it's the logical choice?

Dr. Katie's journey from respected oncologist to intuitive healer didn't happen overnight. She spent years ignoring the whispers telling her to leave a successful medical career that looked perfect on paper.

It started with embarrassing moments like sending strange messages to near-strangers about meditation visions, and midnight decisions that went against everything she'd sworn she'd never do.

Each time she followed these inexplicable nudges, doors opened in ways that logic could never have predicted. From unexpected TEDx opportunities to finding love when she least expected it, her story reveals how our bodies constantly communicate what they need for healing.

There’s growing awareness, supported by both science and lived experience, that the body often registers what’s best for us before the mind catches up. Dr. Katie shares the specific technique she uses to tap into these inner signals when making big decisions, turning those confusing gut feelings into clear direction.

Listen and discover why the most healing choices often feel the scariest, and learn a practical method for accessing your own internal guidance system; no certifications or special tools required.

Can a 14-day water fast support healing after cancer—especially at age 74?

Dr. Katie welcomes Ciely Gray, a lifelong holistic practitioner who was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer at 71 years old and offered a mastectomy. 

Instead, she chose a different path rooted in decades of body-based wisdom. With Dr. Katie’s guidance, Ciely recently completed a two-week supervised water-only fast to support her continued healing.

Together, they explore what fasting actually looks and feels like physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Ciely shares how she moved through body changes, emotional releases, and the unexpected challenge of doing nothing. Group support and inner listening became key elements of her experience.

Chapters:
07:00 – How She Detected Breast Cancer
12:18 – What Fasting Actually Felt Like
15:00 – Letting Go of Doing
22:00 – Trusting the Body to Heal
32:17 – Scan Results After Fasting

Many think fasting is just about food, but for Ciely, it became a mirror for her thoughts, identity, and beliefs. From restless nights to moments of deep clarity, she invites us into the quieter layers of healing, the kind that happens when we stop fixing and start listening.

If you're curious about natural approaches to healing, especially post-diagnosis, this episode offers a grounded and inspiring look at fasting as a tool for long-term wellness. 

Listen and learn how her scan results changed and why trusting the body may be one of the most important things we can learn.

What if you’ve been avoiding one of the most powerful foods for healing your body? 

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Monica Corrado, a teaching chef and expert in traditional food preparation. Together, they unpack one of the most misunderstood foods in modern nutrition: red meat. They discuss the surprising truth about how properly raised and prepared red meat can support deep healing, especially for those dealing with inflammation, digestive issues, and chronic illness.

Chapters:
07:15 - Nutritional Benefits of Beef
09:50 - Plant-Based Diet Challenges
15:05 - The Protein Powder Problem
21:55 - Milk Substitute Warnings
36:10 - Cooking Meat for Healing

They also dig into the growing popularity of plant-based diets and expose the lesser-known problems they can create. From anti-nutrients in vegetables to the difficulty of digesting plant proteins, Monica explains why a plant-heavy approach isn’t always the answer, especially for people trying to heal. 

You’ll hear why the body’s need for bioavailable protein, collagen, and animal fats can’t be met by powders, peas, or nut milks, no matter how clean the label looks. Asking critical questions about whether today’s plant-based hype is built on solid ground. 

Are you tired of confusing health advice and want simple, practical steps to feel better? You’ll learn what to look for when buying meat, what terms like “grass-finished” actually mean, and why certain red meats can either fuel inflammation or support deep healing. 

Listen and discover surprising facts about the foods you thought were healthy and why they may be doing more harm than good.

What would you do first if you received a cancer diagnosis? 

Dr. Katie shares why a 30-day water fast would be her first response to cancer—and why many health experts like Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Jason Fung agree. Dr. Deming presents six compelling reasons why prolonged water fasting creates powerful healing opportunities for cancer patients.

Key Takeaways:

• How to shut down your cancer’s fuel source
• Letting go of years of toxic buildup
• What a stronger gut means to you

Dr. Deming transparently shares her journey from skepticism to conviction based on client outcomes she never witnessed in traditional medicine. Her honest assessment of water fasting challenges common medical assumptions while offering hope to those seeking alternatives or complementary approaches.

Dr. Deming explains the science behind water fasting while acknowledging safety considerations and proper supervision. 

Listen and expand your understanding of what's possible when we create the right conditions for our bodies to heal themselves naturally.
