In this in‑depth conversation with host Ryan Manno, Dr. Deng breaks down how lifestyle, environment, stress, sleep, diet, exercise, and even joy play powerful roles in cancer treatment and survivorship. Rather than focusing only on the tumor, integrative oncology supports the whole person—mind, body, and environment—helping patients tolerate treatment better, reduce stress, improve immune function, and even boost therapeutic outcomes. Dr. Deng discusses the six pillars of whole-person health, the science behind circadian rhythm, fascinating research on exercise and longevity, and how UCI Health is transforming the future of cancer care.
