Many people assume that fighting cancer always has to mean overwhelming the body (with intense treatments like Chemotherapy and Radiation). But integrative medicine often looks for ways to reduce pressure on the system while still targeting cancer’s weak points.

Cancer cells tend to rely on fragile energy systems, acidic environments, and stressed mitochondria. Certain supportive therapies aim to disrupt those patterns — slowing growth, improving tolerance to treatment, and preserving quality of life — without the same level of collateral damage.

This approach doesn’t have to replace conventional care, though some choose that path. It can also work alongside conventional treatments, helping the body stay stronger while treatment does its job.

✨In functional medicine the goal isn’t aggression — it’s strategic support.

What’s Really Hiding in That “Fresh” Scent?

Most people don’t realize that the “clean” smell on their clothes, body, or home often comes from hundreds of hidden chemicals - many of which can affect your hormones, lungs, and even your brain.

Common Culprits:

• Fabric softeners & dryer sheets
• Laundry detergents
• Perfumes & colognes
• Scented candles & plug-ins
• Air fresheners

Hidden Risks:

- Hormone disruption (phthalates in fragrances)
- Respiratory irritation & asthma triggers
- Neurological effects & headaches
- Skin irritation & allergies

Why You Can’t Smell It Doesn’t Mean It’s Safe
Your nose gets used to constant scents. What smells “fresh” to you may actually be a chemical cloud that lingers in your home, on your clothes, and on your body.

Easy Swaps That Make a Big Difference:

✅ Switch to fragrance-free laundry detergent

✅ Skip fabric softeners & dryer sheets - use wool dryer balls instead

✅ Avoid plug-ins, scented candles, and air fresheners

✅ Opt for fragrance-free personal care products

✅ Choose “fragrance-free,” not just “unscented”

Every small swap reduces your chemical exposure — and your body, mind, and even future generations will thank you.

💡 Pro tip: When you remove synthetic fragrances, your senses quickly recalibrate — and you’ll notice how strong these chemicals really are!

There’s growing interest in how Joe Dispenza–style practices—like meditation, breathwork, elevated-emotion work, and visualization—may support people living with neurological conditions, including ALS.

Current projects such as the CALMER initiative (UC San Diego + VitaMed Research + NeuroChange Solutions) are exploring how these mind-body tools might influence resilience, stress responses, and overall well-being in ALS participants.

Dispenza’s methods often focus on:

• Breathwork to shift the nervous system
• Guided meditations that quiet mental stress
• Visualization/mental rehearsal of desired health states
• Elevated emotions (gratitude, joy, compassion) to support inner change

While research is ongoing, many people use these practices as complementary tools to feel more grounded, calm, and empowered on their journey.

We’ve been hearing from our patients that it’s an especially tough year for the flu. Here are our top tips to help you navigate it with intention.

1. Avoid things that directly inhibit immune function. This includes excessive sugar intake, seed oils, stress, and lack of sleep.

2. Epsom Salt Baths to boost the immune system, support detoxification and relieve pain.

3. Cold Sock treatment is a great immune booster at illness onset.

4. Hydrotherapy to boost the lymphatic system.

5. Burber Pinella & Parsley Detox help support the body during illness and fever.

6. Essential oils, DoTERRA OnGuard or Young Living Thieves both support the body in fighting viruses.

7. Elderberry Syrup supports the immune system and has been proven in studies to reduce the duration and severity of respiratory infections.

For more detailed information on these tips - check out our earlier posts on each one.

If you’ve ever taken a deep breath and felt your whole body soften, you’ve experienced the power of mindful breathing. Pelvic and diaphragmatic breathing go a step further by using the belly, ribcage, and pelvic muscles to help you breathe fully, calmly, and efficiently. These simple exercises can make a noticeable difference in how you feel - physically and mentally.

1. Improve relaxation & reduce stress

Slow, deep breathing signals your body to shift out of “fight or flight” and into a calmer, restorative state. This helps lower stress hormones and creates a feeling of grounded relaxation.

2. Support heart health

Research shows that diaphragmatic and pelvic breathing improve your heart’s ability to adapt to stress, which is an important marker of long-term cardiovascular health.

3. Reduce anxiety

Deep breathing increases vagal tone—a key part of your nervous system that regulates stress—which can lower anxious feelings and help you manage worry more easily.

4. Boost focus and mental clarity

Breathing deeply helps oxygenate your brain and calm your nervous system, making it easier to think clearly and stay focused.

5. Ease breathing difficulties

People with asthma, COPD, or other respiratory issues often find that deep breathing helps reduce shortness of breath and makes breathing feel more natural and comfortable.

6. Improve overall quality of life

Many people experience fewer symptoms, better daily function, and improved emotional well-being after learning these techniques.

7. Improve digestive and urinary issues

Because the diaphragm and pelvic floor work closely together, these exercises may reduce bloating, abdominal discomfort, and certain urinary symptoms - particularly in people with pelvic floor dysfunction or children with voiding issues.

8. Support recovery

Deep breathing can help reduce inflammation, lower oxidative stress, and support your body’s recovery after exercise, injury, or illness.

Practicing thankfulness is more than a one-day holiday - it’s a measurable health booster!

Regular gratitude actually helps retrain neural pathways, shifting the brain toward calm, clarity, and optimism. Studies, including research from Harvard, show that grateful thinking can reduce inflammation, lower stress hormones, and support a healthier immune response.

Gratitude also strengthens relationships by increasing empathy and connection, which in turn reinforces emotional well-being. Over time, this simple practice creates a positive feedback loop in the brain, helping you experience more joy, resilience, and inner balance. A few moments of thankfulness each day can gently transform both mind and body.

Who we are...

Our team at Center for Wellness is committed to providing the best medical care for our patients. Our expertise is in Osteopathy and Integrative Medicine. Our purpose is about supporting the innate healing potential in each one of us.

Unlike other medical models, we do not have a ‘quota’ of patients to see each hour. You will not be rushed through like a number on a list. You will not sit for hours past your appointment time in our waiting room.

We believe that symptoms of illness have an underlying root cause (or causes). We are here to help you identify the root(s) and address the issue(s) directly.
