Dr. Nasha Winters is a naturopathic physician with a deeply powerful story. Diagnosed with stage IV cancer at age 19 and given just a few months to live, she embarked on a relentless journey to self-education and integrative healing that ultimately saved her life. Now a leading expert in metabolic oncology, Dr. Nasha is passionate in her mission to transform healthcare by addressing underlying metabolic dysfunction that fuels not only cancer, but virtually all chronic diseases.

Dr. Nasha Winters has a message of empowerment for cancer patients: by understanding and correcting the terrain of the body rather than merely attacking the tumor, we can shift from a disease-centered model to one rooted in true healing and prevention for everyone. This message will resonate not only in cancer, but also for anyone wanting to treat or prevent chronic disease.

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
