Part 1 Cancer Podcast: Unravelling the biological drivers of cancer after 30 years in oncology.

In this Part 1 of this 2-part discussion (Part 1 also available as a YouTube video with subtitles) Dr Goodwin, a retired oncologist discusses:

• Tumour streams, common and rare.

• The biological basis of cancer - and why cancer cells aren’t cunning or conspiratorial, but quite dumb!

• How stem cells are involved in the aetiology of cancer.

• Surgery, and why Goodwin likes to see patients before surgery.

• How the metastatic process works and why some secondary cancers end up in commonly recognised places.

• The keto and glucose factor.

• The multifactorial nature of cancer: Including immune tolerance, chronic inflammation and disrupted cell signalling.

• Epigenetics.

• Why conventional medical oncologists tend to dismiss nutritional science - and why they (ethically) shouldn’t.

• Simple hacks to promote cell health and improve cell signalling pathways.

• Recognising that healing is biological, chemical & emotional/spiritual.

• The microbiome and diet (this is covered more extensively in a second interview).

• Allied health professionals that might follow the diabetes model of reversing health risk.

‘One little boring decision at a time pays off three years down the track!’

Retired oncologist Dr Anna Goodwin was inevitably going to think differently from her oncologist colleagues that attended conventional medical school. Today she operates as a telehealth consultant, specialising in secondary prevention and wellness. Her training as a US-based osteopathic ensured that from the get-go, Goodwin’s oncology training uniquely incorporated a systems biology approach and in nutritional biochemistry.
