564. Cancer, Controversy and Hope Uncovered: What Works and What Doesn't, Part 1

What really causes cancer—and what are we missing when it comes to testing, treatment, and prevention? In this episode, I’m joined by my own doctor, Dr. Donese Worden, to take you inside my cancer journey in a way I’ve never shared before. We dive into the questions so many of us face—what actually causes cancer, why stress is one of the most overlooked drivers, and why most cancers aren’t genetic despite what conventional medicine focuses on. You’ll hear how toxins, lifestyle, and even hormones play a role, what your mitochondria have to do with it, and how nutrition, stress management, and metabolic therapies can literally shift outcomes. We also pull back the curtain on the tests that often aren’t run, the treatments that can make a difference, and the integrative strategies that blend conventional and functional medicine for a clearer path forward. This is part one of a two-part conversation, and it is packed with insights, controversial questions, and the kind of information every patient (or loved one of a patient) deserves but rarely receives.
