Why does cancer fatigue linger long after treatment ends and what can you actually do about it?
In this episode of Integrative Cancer Solutions, Dr. K sits down with integrative oncology expert Dr. Jessa Landmann to unpack the real causes of cancer related fatigue.

Dr. Landmann shares cutting edge research on muscle degradation during and after treatment, the role of insulin and blood sugar in cancer progression, the power of acupuncture, adaptogens, and mind body medicine, and why early lifestyle intervention is critical.

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.
