About this episode
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. Dr. Christy Kesslering started out in conventional medicine as a Radiation Oncologist. She received her Bachelor of Science degree from UCLA and attended medical school at Loyola University Chicago-Stritch School of Medicine. She finished her Radiation Oncology Residency at the University of Wisconsin, Madison in 2000 and has been treating patients in the Chicagoland area since that time. She realized that something was missing from conventional medicine and did additional studies to improve outcomes with cancer but also saw many other diseases improve. She has done additional studies in the fields of Functional Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and the Terrain-Theory of cancer. She is a Terrain Certified Practitioner trained by Dr. Nasha Winters and is a founding member of the Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners. She has been actively incorporating metabolic health practices into the care of oncology patients for many years. She has been named a Top Doctor multiple times by Castle Connelly and Chicago Magazine. In this conversation, Dr. Tro, Dr. Brian, and Dr. Christy talk about how Dr. Christy got into medicine and oncology specifically, helping patients understand cancer and the steps they can take to address it, taking a metabolic approach to cancer treatment, treating prostate cancer, the usage of metformin to treat disease, the various diets that are helpful for cancer prevention and the diets that are not helpful, how to address the root cause of cancer rather than merely applying bandaids, the proliferation of carcinogenic substances in every day products, how to optimize your life to beat cancer, chemo on keto, and the failure of modern medicine to successfully and adequately address chronic diseases.
