Podcast #14 - Beyond Treating Cancer - Exploring The Bigger Picture with Kaytee Boyd

If you were given a diagnosis, where would you start? What if there’s more to healing than just treating what’s happening physically? In this episode, I’m joined by functional health and clinical nutrition practitioner Kaytee Boyd for a conversation that goes beyond treating just the physical aspects of cancer to explore the bigger picture of what shapes our health. We talk about how chronic stress can change our physical body, the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and disease, the influence of our emotional patterns and environment, and why looking at the whole person, rather than just the diagnosis, matters. Kaytee shares where she would encourage someone to begin after receiving a diagnosis and discuss why creating a supportive team around you is so important, how complementary approaches can sit alongside conventional medical care and why it is never too late to do the inner work. Emotional work isn't a promise of a cure, but it can offer meaningful support at every stage of the journey, including advanced illness, and support us face our fear of death differently. While this conversation is centred around cancer, its message reaches much further. Whether you're navigating autoimmune disease, the hormonal changes of perimenopause, another chronic condition, or simply want to better understand and support your health, this episode is an invitation to zoom out, get curious and consider the whole picture.
