Integrative Care Highlight: Astragalus & Platinum-Based Therapies
Hello Lovelies,
Whether you're in active treatment, or not, I'd like you to know about the integrative treatment options available to cancer patients.
Alongside your medical treatment plan, there may be well-researched integrative therapies that can play a helpful role in your care.
These approaches are not about replacing conventional treatment, but about thoughtfully supporting the whole person.
Chemotherapy is designed to fight cancer powerfully, but it comes with side effects and is quite hard on the body.
I'm passionate about integrative approaches that help patients get the most out of their conventional treatments, with better labs and less side effects along the way.
My latest blog dives deep into astragalus root, a traditional botanical known for its immune-supportive and antioxidant effects.
Research shows astragalus may act as a synergist for platinum-based chemotherapy drugs, such as cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin, enhancing their effectiveness while reducing side effects through cellular protection and immune modulation.

In my practice, I offer integrative support: personalized nutrition, complementary botanical protocols, toxin reduction strategies, and compassionate hands-on care.
My goal is to help patients navigate cancer treatment and survivorship with greater agency and confidence.
If you or someone you love is exploring integrative options alongside conventional care, I'd love to help guide the way.
You can schedule a call to explore what working together might look like, or book a service directly.
