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.
