Vitality after Cancer
Integrative Cancer Survivorship Care for Recovery, Resilience, and Long-Term Health
Integrative Cancer Care supports individuals after cancer treatment by addressing the interconnected systems that influence healing and resilience. Using a whole-body approach grounded in the Five Pillars of Health, inflammation, gut health, detoxification, nervous system regulation, and hormonal balance, care focuses on restoring vitality, supporting cellular health, optimizing nutrient status, and improving the body’s internal terrain. This work complements oncology care and is tailored to support recovery and long-term well-being.
“Chemotherapy and radiation treatment, while necessary, damage cancer cells , which is a good thing, but it can also damage healthy cells, cause nutrient depletion, and create inflammation!” - Dr. Kenney

Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is a prolonged immune response that places ongoing stress on the body. In the context of cancer, persistent inflammation can contribute to an internal environment that challenges immune function and healing. Research has linked chronic inflammation to cancer development and recurrence.
Supporting the body with an anti-inflammatory diet, regular movement, and stress regulation helps reduce inflammatory burden and strengthens immune resilience. Identifying and removing the underlying triggers of inflammation allows the immune system to function more effectively in protecting and repairing the body.
