What if a cancer diagnosis didn’t mean surrender—but transformation?
In this powerful episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with bestselling author, philanthropist, and lifelong learner Glenn Sturm, who has lived—and thrived—through nearly two decades of continuous chemotherapy. Diagnosed with a rare, incurable lymphoma and given just years to live, Glenn shares how integrative, multidisciplinary cancer care helped him defy the odds and reclaim his life.
This conversation explores why silo-based oncology fails patients, how true integrative cancer care dramatically improves survival and quality of life, and why mindset, communication, movement, and purpose are as critical as chemotherapy itself. Glenn also shares deeply human stories—from surgery rooms to chemo suites—that reveal how gratitude, laughter, and patient empowerment can become some of the most powerful medicines available.

Newly diagnosed with cancer and wondering how natural therapies can support your treatment?
Integrative Cancer Solutions with Dr. Michael Karlfeldt is a podcast on integrative oncology, natural cancer treatment, and holistic cancer care, helping patients and caregivers understand how evidence-based complementary therapies can work safely alongside chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery.
What makes this show unique: you'll hear real patient consultations, not just expert theory. Each episode explores how integrative therapies, including high-dose vitamin C, mistletoe therapy, ozone therapy, nutritional support, and immune-boosting protocols, can help manage the most common side effects of cancer treatment: nausea, fatigue, neuropathy, weight loss, inflammation, and immune suppression.
Studies show that more than half of all cancer patients use some form of complementary medicine during treatment, yet most have no reliable guide for doing it safely and effectively. With over 35 years of clinical experience and as the founder of a leading naturopathic oncology center in Idaho, Dr. Karlfeldt brings real clinical insight to every episode, helping patients reduce their learning curve, improve quality of life, and support long-term healing and survivorship.
