Radiation Oncologist: EAT THIS WAY to Prevent & Fight CANCER | Dr. Christy Kesslering

Video Description

Dr. Christy Kesslering is a Radiation Oncologist turned Metabolic Health practitioner. She worked with cancer patients in Radiation Oncology for over 20 years in the Chicagoland area but realized many years ago that something was missing from conventional medicine.  Dr. K saw the big link between obesity and cancer but then realized that the real link was mitochondrial health and metabolic function, and she pursued additional self-learning in metabolic health. She did additional studies in the fields of Functional Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and the Terrain-Theory of cancer.  Dr. K opted to leave conventional medicine to work exclusively in Metabolic Health via telehealth. She now helps both cancer patients and non-cancer patients regain their optimal health.
