She discusses her own journey as a clinician, including her personal experiences with cancer and how they have shaped her practice and approach. Lise explores the latest dietary and lifestyle interventions open to cancer patients including the universal use of curcumin and medicinal fungi as well as broaching the antioxidant-fear-controversy often debated in cancer treatment.
