42. From Diagnosis to Thriving: How Taylor Dukes Chose Integrative Medicine to Heal Brain Cancer

  • Résumé

  • A free way to support your cancer treatment? Shifting your mindset and finding the positives in life. This week, I'm joined by Taylor Dukes, a family nurse practitioner, mother of two, and former colleague. We sat down to discuss her cancer journey—from finding out she had a brain tumor to entering remission—what she's learned in the years since her initial diagnosis, and how reframing her mindset helped her thrive. In this episode, you'll discover: Integrative Approaches to Cancer Treatment: When doctors found a brain tumor in Dukes' right frontal lobe, the mother of two didn't jump straight into surgery. Instead, she implemented a lot of integrative therapies such as coffee enemas, hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy, wearing a red light helmet, and more. "In the five months between when I got diagnosed and when I actually had surgery, we were able to shrink the brain tumor in half," says Duke." The Power of Positive Thinking: Dukes, who currently has "no evidence of disease," believes that as long as you’re breathing, there is always hope and there are always options. "No diagnosis, no test, no statistic has the ability to figure out the number of your days," says Dukes, who credits prayer and meditation for her mindset. "Your mind is powerful and what you believe is so, so powerful." Maintaining Your Health After Cancer: Two years after her diagnosis, Dukes is now in maintenance mode and focuses on getting her immune system back on track. She keeps up with regular fasting, eats a lower-carb diet, and alternates between red light therapy, ozone therapy, and sauna. “I'm starting specific therapies to target the co-infections and Lyme markers I have,” she says. 06:40 A Life-Changing Diagnosis 10:15 Integrative Approach to Healing 18:19 The Power of Faith and Family 20:26 Life After Surgery 24:41 Immune System Suppression and Cancer Growth 25:01 Prevention and Immune System Recovery 25:26 Targeted Therapies and Integrative Approaches 26:55 Conventional vs. Integrative Treatment Options 31:11 Support Systems and Personal Decisions 34:08 Navigating Parenthood During Cancer 37:55 Coping Mechanisms and Emotional Resilience Connect with Dr. Myers: Website: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ Newsletter: https://www.amymyersmd.com/ec/guide-to-leaky-gut Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AmyMyersMD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amymyersmd/ Connect with Taylor Dukes: Website: https://taylordukeswellness.com/ Online store: https://shop.taylordukeswellness.com/collections/all-products Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taylordukeswellness/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/taylordukeswellness/ Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@taylordukeswellness
