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."

S1 Ep 1: 'The Immune System in your Gut' featuring Cheryl Burdette, N.D.

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'll 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 Dr Cheryl Burdette.
Dr Cheryl Burdette is a naturopathic doctor and educator, and co-founder of the Precision Point Diagnostics laboratory. We take a deep dive into the immune system in the gut, which Cheryl describes beautifully, fluidly spanning microbes, neurotransmitters, secretory IgA and zonulin, alongside tribal immunity, long covid, autoimmune conditions and eating too much turkey. Followed by some detailed insights into new tests to figure out food allergies and intolerances, in particular around how to interpret IgG4, and then how to work on improving the situation.
When asked what she loves most about what she does, Cheryl replies:
“I love that we give people more hope... when we get to talk to people about things like dietary change that they can do themselves, it puts the power back in their own hands to seek more wellness. I don’t think that we’re all out there trying to eat a perfect diet to win the trophy. To say I ate more greens than anyone else. I think we do this because it allows us to live our passion.”
