Pre-surgical optimization
We work to ensure your nutrient stores, immune system, and metabolic health are as robust as possible before your procedure to improve tolerance and tissue resilience.
Integrative Cancer Care
Cancer Surgery Support
A personalized, evidence-informed plan that remains safe alongside your conventional surgical care, helping you prepare for your procedure and recover well.
If you are preparing for or currently navigating cancer surgery, you likely have many questions about how to best prepare your body for the procedure and support your recovery afterward. Whether you are taking a proactive role leading up to your operation or you are in the immediate post-operative period looking to speed up healing, you are in the right place.
Surgery is a significant event that places unique demands on your body's resources. Your ability to handle the stress of the procedure, manage inflammation, and knit tissues back together depends on your foundational health. By focusing on targeted nutritional and physiological support, we help prepare your system for the physical stress and streamline the healing process during recovery.
Our approach
Naturopathic approach to surgical support
Recovery & wound healing
We focus on accelerating the healing of surgical sites, managing post-operative inflammation, and supporting your body's tissue repair pathways.
Immune & systemic resilience
We design protocols to support a balanced immune response, which is crucial for preventing post-operative complications and regaining your strength.
Safe, evidence-informed integration
We prioritize herb-drug-nutrient interaction reviews so every recommendation works safely with your surgical plan, including pre- and post-operative medications and anesthesia.
Your program
Your integrative cancer care program at JOSIE
A three-step program that bridges your surgical team and natural support.
- Step 1 - Active treatment support: we review your oncology timeline, pathology reports, staging, and schedule, then focus on reducing side effects, improving tolerance, and supporting treatment efficacy with precise, safe therapies that don't interfere.
- Step 2 - Uncovering post-treatment root drivers: once active treatment is complete, we run specialized testing across five core pillars, blood sugar and insulin, inflammation and immune balance, gut and liver function, nervous system and stress, and oxidative stress and nutrient stores.
- Step 3 - Supporting your foundations: we build a deliberate, evidence-based plan of targeted lifestyle adaptations, precise nutrition, and research-backed natural protocols to safely support your foundational health.
