Transcript of Episode 195

Debra Muth 0:03Welcome back to Let’s Talk wellness. I’m your host and I have Dr. Nathan Goodyear with me. I would always say Goodwin but it’s Goodyear. And we are going to talk about integrative therapies for cancer. So, Dr. Nathan, welcome to the show. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Dr. Nathan Goodyear 0:19Well, I’m the Medical Director out here at Brio medical in Scottsdale, Arizona. We are a natural, holistic and Integrative Cancer Healing Center. And all of those words are very important. But really to understand where I am, it’s where I came from I, I graduated from residency in 2004, I very quickly understood that I needed to change my lifestyle, because I played college football, I played center and I was played at about 285 290 pounds, I was a big, I was a big guy. And two of the the gentlemen that I played with passed away within five years because of massive vascular events. So I knew I knew that I had to change my lifestyle, plus I had a budding family and I wanted to be around for them. So I really got into the integrative movement in 2006. Then with the, with my own diagnosis of a pheochromocytoma, in 2000, late 2015, that was really the beginning of my final change into what is this holistic, natural Integrative Cancer approach. So natural means we want to be as natural as possible. Holistic means we want to recognize that the whole body healing wellness, that’s what we’re after. And we don’t want to get bogged down in different compartments. But we want to we want to heal the body, targeting the tumor are targeting cancer and destroying the body in the process. That’s a no go. And then integrative. We want to integrate the different therapies. And that’s not just, you know, therapies IVs. It could be counseling, it could be psychological, it could be emotional, all of these come to bear to allow something like cancer to start, grow and survive. And then we want to be effective. So the evidence comes in, to bring all of this to bear natural, holistic and integrative to really have a truly targeted and healing approach that occurs together.

Debra Muth 2:23I love that concept. And I think that there’s such a missing concept when it comes to cancer, right? In the conventional medicine world, as most people understand it, it’s just about killing the cancer, just kill the cancer, nothing else really matters. You can eat whatever you want. You can do whatever you want, as long as you feel comfortable. Live your life like you want. But do you think that it’s that model that’s failing cancer patients is just looking at it from one perspective of things?

Dr. Nathan Goodyear 2:56You know that that’s very insightful, Deb, because it’s a failed model. It’s a fair, it’s a failed paradigm. We desperately need a change of thought I actually say it’s kind of intellectual when breeding, because you can’t think outside the box. Yeah. Chemotherapy, and much of what we see in conventional approach to cancer treatment, and I’m conventionally trained, so I’m also an MD homeopath. It was born out of war. I mean, chemotherapy was literally born out of World War One and World War Two. And then it’s interesting that that same vernacular, that same phraseology, if you will go to war on cancer, Nixon declared war on cancer 1971 with the National Cancer Act. So it’s really interesting how all of that has progressed to the last 100 years or so, born out of a war, declare war, you know, what other what other disease states that we declared war on? Yeah, there was a 2019 study to published twice in different formats in The Lancet journal in 2019. That showed that the number one cause of death in adults in high income countries is now cancer. So all of that war, what has it brought? Now it’s brought profits, but has brought healing. Now, I wouldn’t know you the data says no, it has not.

Debra Muth 4:15I agree and, and we haven’t even how do I want to say this? We haven’t even touched the iceberg on it. I mean, we have more cancer now. And the statistics are crazy. You probably know that way better than I do. But it’s like 100% people are going to have cancer by 2050, I think. But there’s so much more cancer, and yet we’re not any better off at treating it today than we were I would argue 10 or 15 years ago. Yes. We’re a little bit better than we were in the 70s but 10 or 15 years, we really have not made a ton of progress in treating cancer.

Dr. Nathan Goodyear 4:49No, we have not and I think the approach and the perspective is really the the issue is where our medical director we have two naturopaths and we have another medical doctor in The nurse practitioner, and I love the challenge that that that group brings to bare. Because we bring different perspective, when you look at it from a conventional standpoint, we are trained to look at things from a disease standpoint. How do you heal? How do you focus on healing when your only approach is what disease and how to treat the disease. And I jokingly say, it’s like going to your doctor with you, you have a headache, and the doctor hits you upside the head with a two by four. And then the doc says, How’s your headache, you go? Well, my headaches gone. But I’m not sure what we’re going to do about my brains all over the floor. It always elicits a chuckle, but I think they understand what the references, you know, conventional medicine comes in with a heavy stick. And you know what, you break a hip surgically? Yeah, you need to repair that hip surgically. You don’t say take more vitamin D. But everything has a place, everything has a time. And I think what we’re missing, it’s the integration and synergy that can be used here to really help patients target a tuber and heal the body at the same time.

Debra Muth 6:09Yeah, I agree. I think we have to, and, and sometimes, too, we have to look at where did this cancer come out of, right? I mean, we know if we’re living a lifestyle that’s decreasing our immune system, or we have a lot of stress, or sometimes it comes from an emotional thing. And we don’t want to believe that in the conventional world, we just believe like the cancer tumors just didn’t get broken up. But in in our world, we can say, yeah, we can look at lifestyle. We can look at traumas, we can look at stressors and say, This was inevitable when we look at how you’ve lived your life for the last 25 years. But now how do we fix this so that it doesn’t stay with you for the next 25 years? Or doesn’t take your life? And the next five, right?

Dr. Nathan Goodyear 6:48Yeah, I mean, you’re exactly right. It’s like the way most people look at cancer. It’s, it’s like some bad Sigourney Weaver movie, we’re an alien planet. And you know, I had no choice. Actually, cancer is simply a disease of lifestyle that that in many ways, and that’s what tha...
