What if the real breakthrough in cancer care isn’t choosing sides, but weaving them together? We open our playbook and share six core convictions that shape everything we do at Ground & Root—from the belief that healing is always possible to the crucial difference between treating and healing. You’ll hear how we blend evidence‑based medicine with earth‑centered living, circadian rhythm support, and energetic practices to reduce burden now and reshape the terrain to help you stay cancer-free.

We break down four wellness pillars that keep the plan simple yet strong.

1. Earth‑Centered Living: whole foods, sun and nature time, movement, sleep, and resilience practices that rebuild your baseline.
2. Enhancing Energetic Flow: practical tools to regulate your nervous system, process emotions, and move stuck energy so the body can repair.
3. Finding Your Why: functional labs and DNA insights that replace guesswork with targeted action.
4. Community Support: curating a circle that lifts you, co‑regulates your stress, and sustains hope over the long arc of healing.

Plus how to pull all of them together into the evolved healing formula we use with our clients and their families.

A quiet shift is underway: cancer rates are falling in older adults but rising fast under 50. We unpack what’s driving that change and show why risk isn’t random—it's the result of an interplay between emotions, environment, and epigenetics that shapes how cells age, repair DNA, and defend against disease.

Emotions aren’t a soft add-on; they tune physiology, alter glucose and inflammatory signaling, and determine whether your nervous system spends time in healing states.

Environment spans food quality, movement, circadian rhythm, nature exposure, air and water, and everyday products that quietly raise toxic burden.

Epigenetics reveals your blueprint—how you methylate, antioxidize, and clear hormones—so we can tailor inputs that shift gene expression toward resilience. Two people can share exposures yet see different outcomes because their pathways work differently; the key is to find your weak links and reinforce them.

You’ll hear how small, consistent changes stack up: better sleep and light hygiene to restore circadian rhythm, nutrient-dense meals that stabilize glucose and boost detox, reducing high-risk exposures without chasing perfection, and practical tools for stress and emotion processing that reawaken immune vigilance.

What if cancer isn’t random—but a signal we can read and change? Dionne Detraz, a holistic cancer dietitian and former hospital-based RD, opens up about the journey that shaped Ground & Root Cancer Nutrition: early curiosity, clinical training in integrative settings, and the profound lessons learned while supporting her father through lymphoma.

The first time her father faced cancer, pairing standard RCOP chemo with targeted nutrition and lifestyle strategies, led to minimal side effects and clear scans. Years later, a five-year recurrence shattered the comfort of “all clear” and ignited a deeper question: why did it return?

We walk through the uncomfortable truth behind the “bad luck” explanation and unpack what functional assessments revealed: persistent infections, glyphosate exposure, gut parasites, rising glucose and insulin, and immune stress layered on a history of inflammation. Instead of treating these as footnotes, we connect them as terrain—the internal environment that shapes cancer risk, treatment tolerance, and long-term resilience. You’ll hear how integrative oncology blends standard care with practical nutrition, movement, sleep, stress, and targeted supplementation to support immune surveillance and metabolic balance without rejecting evidence-based treatments.

This story is both personal and practical. We outline what to measure beyond routine labs, how to interpret red flags, and why younger adults are being diagnosed more often. You’ll come away with a clear, compassionate case for shifting from reaction to prevention, from “cross your fingers” to “change your terrain.” If you’re ready to think differently about healing—and to share what you learn with your circle—we’d love your help growing this mission to reach a million people.
