How do you know if that supplement your sister swears by will help you—or interfere with the chemo that’s supposed to save your life?

Dr. Lise Alschuler, board-certified naturopathic oncologist and breast cancer survivor, breaks down what most oncologists won’t tell you: killing cancer cells isn’t enough. Your body creates a tumor microenvironment—and conventional treatment often makes it worse.

In this conversation, you’ll learn why exercise beats every supplement on the market, how to tell the difference between prophylactic and neoadjuvant chemo (and why it matters when celebrities claim they “cured cancer naturally”), and the exact questions to ask before adding anything to your treatment plan.

Dr. Alschuler also addresses something nobody talks about: financial toxicity. She shares how to scale back integrative recommendations without sacrificing protection against recurrence, and why hiding budget concerns from your providers hurts you more than the cost itself.
