Wittig, a nationally recognized orthopedic oncologist and sarcoma surgeon and the Founder and CEO of Mandala Medical Group, with roughly 10,000 procedures behind him. He explains why sarcoma in kids and teens so often gets dismissed as a sports injury or growing pains, and how limb-sparing surgery became the standard for most patients.\nThen he gets personal: thirty years of five-hour nights and eighty-hour weeks that ended in kidney failure and three stents. That experience is why he now brings hypnosis, meditation, neurofeedback and root cause testing like fasting insulin into cancer care. If you or someone you love is facing cancer, this conversation shows what whole-person care can look like from a surgeon who has been on both sides of it.\nKey Takeaways:\nWhy sarcoma in children and teens gets missed as a sports injury or growing pains\nHow chemotherapy response predicts osteosarcoma survival\nA sarcoma surgeon's wake-up call: 80-hour weeks, kidney failure and three stents\nHypnosis, meditation and neurofeedback for stress and immune health during cancer treatment\nFasting insulin, gut health and sugar as root causes in cancer care\nSchedule a Free 15-Min Cancer/Lyme Consultation at The Karlfeldt Center: 208-338-8902\n\nResources:\n\nResources Mentioned: Mandala Medical Group - https://www.mandalamedicalgroup.com/ \nDr. James C.
