IHCAN magazine Podcast

Katie Sheen is a mindfulness teacher and speaker, a nutritional therapist, and has a Masters degree in education.

She shares her experiences using mindfulness with nutrition clients – how mindfulness can help with making nutritional changes, and how nutritional support can help with being more settled and mindful. “It’s a fascinating two-way street we can offer people”
Katie also shares how mindfulness and self-compassion helped her deal with her own cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery.
“And what was amazing was that in that moment I thought: My poor body... my poor body... I can see how much it’s suffering. And again, what a gift to be able to switch immediately into compassion, rather than fear – and there definitely was fear, I’m not going to pretend there wasn’t fear, there was fear as well, but the fear wasn’t of my own body. And that was one of those doorways for me into really taking care of myself.”
Themes include deep listening, compassionate speech, how to become more self-aware and use that to showing kindness and care to ourselves.

Patricia Daly is a nutritional therapist and ketogenic diet expert, specialising in cancer. Most of us have come across at least the basics of the ketogenic diet, but Patricia is able to provide updates and insights that add new layers to its application. Her own experience in both following and supporting people with the ketogenic diet is invaluable, alongside her collaborations with like-minded health professionals.
Patricia explains about ketones and metabolic flexibility, the potential benefits of a ketogenic diet, when you would avoid a ketogenic diet and useful tests to help you figure this out, and some practicalities along the way.
Patricia first came to the diet when she had cancer herself, and refers to this when describing the “privilege of witnessing the transformation of people who come to me”:
“I started my journey in the boot of the car. I didn’t even know, I didn’t want to know what they were going to do to me. Then I moved to sort of the child seat and then to passenger, until I had enough and started to drive. So that’s basically what I love to see in my clients as well, that’s people leaving from the boot to the driving seat.”

Join us at the IHCAN Summit 2023 live in London on Saturday 24 June.
June’s Summit will open eyes to the true power of nutritional medicine. We don’t treat cancer, but we can offer the finest personalised nutrition support for people WITH cancer thanks to Mary Beth Gonzalez and Prof Sarper Diler from The Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation.
It’s infuriating that commercial medicine fails to acknowledge published evidence that integrative health approaches pioneered by Dr Josef Issels, Dr Max Gerson, Dr William Kelley and Dr Nicholas Gonzalez, among others, are effective at curing people with cancer. The late Dr Gonzalez developed a protocol that succeeds, to this day, in bringing cancer patients – even those with pancreatic cancer – into long-term remission, and we’re lucky to have two advocates from the sharp end of nutrition-based treatment to inspire us with case histories and protocols showing just how powerful “our” methods can be.

Are you a nutritional therapist or nutrition professional - you'll love the new IHCAN magazine Podcast.
Presented by the wonderful nutritional therapist Kirsten Chick, we bring you IHCAN content you know and love in easily digestible 45 minute episodes, perfect to listen to on a commute, a dog walk, while cooking or in-between clients 🎧.
In this episode we speak to Debbie Cotton.
Debbie is an impressive combination of naturopath and integrative psychotherapist, and so is well placed to talk with us this week about menopause and perimenopause.
She talks us through the hormones involved, inflammation, stress and useful tests to consider. The microbiome becomes a running frequent theme as we discuss physical and mental health, and Debbie describes a fibre-rich approach as well as the “plant-based paradox” that is easy to get caught up in. We discuss blood sugar, and how to reduce alcohol and sugar if you’re not a natural abstainer. Debbie is generous in providing practical tips, both nutritional and psychological, throughout.
“Give yourself the permission to reach out to other [...] share your experience together and actually also share kind of what works for you and what doesn't. Because I think community is one of the most important things in going through any big transition.”

In this episode we speak to Jo Gamble.
Jo Gamble was the first Functional Medicine Practitioner in the UK, and she specialises in working with people with cancer.
We explore different types of breast cancer, including oestrogen and progesterone receptor positive, Her2 positive, and triple negative. Along the way Jo talks genetics and plastics, Tamoxifen and Metformin, mushrooms and melatonin and a whole lot more. Most importantly, how to change the terrain:
"So just like soil grows beautiful flowers, it also grows weeds. And in our
body, if our terrain is not optimal, that weed-growing is the pathogenesis of cancer. [...] If you don't change that soil, you're just gonna grow more weeds."
