Today, I am joined by one of my good friends, Dr. Meighan Valero! Dr. Valero is one of the preeminent naturopathic doctors in Canada with a focus on cancer. She believes in an integrative and evidence-based approach to supporting patients with cancer throughout conventional therapy. She utilizes a combination of techniques such as intravenous therapy, supplementation, dietary and lifestyle counseling, acupuncture, and botanical medicine. She is incredibly credentialed and experienced at what she does.   Unfortunately, it is no exaggeration to say that we all will have cancer touch our lives at some point. One in two of us will be diagnosed with cancer in our lifetimes. Understanding what is possible from an integrative approach is something that we all deserve to know and I cannot think of anyone better to drive this conversation than Dr. Meighan Valero!   In this episode, she is sharing her own personal story that has driven her to passionately explore and provide incredible integrative cancer care, as well as how she works with her current patients when it comes to addressing cancer.
