Decoding Cancer with Keith Holden MD

A recording from Keith R. Holden, M.D. and Paul Cobbin's live video

Thank you,

, , , , , and many others for tuning into my live video with ! For those who didn’t have time to tune in, here is the Substack Live I did with Paul Cobbin.

We talk about:

  • My journey with prostate cancer and how I approach it from an integrative medicine perspective.

  • How I view myself as a single-subject scientific study, or an “N of 1.” Because of my background in both allopathic and functional medicine, this experimentation, in combination with my oncology team, possesses a unique scientific rigor.

  • The driving force behind my daily actions is an unwavering goal: a complete cure, not just long-term control.

  • My intensive self-care regimen.

  • How my open-minded approach to medicine was shaped by my childhood and my parents' comfortable embrace of both traditional and alternative therapies.

  • How a health challenge, prior to developing prostate cancer, played a role in my real-life training in integrative medicine.

  • Why a central tenet of my practice philosophy is the inseparable connection between the mind, body, and soul.

  • The science behind mind-body medicine and how meditation damps down inflammation in the body.

  • The link between chronic stress and the onset of illness is a recurring theme.

  • How a sustained stress response compromises the immune system and how chronic stress can influence gene expression.

  • Practical guidance for navigating a chronic illness diagnosis.

  • Among many other topics.

  • I hope you enjoy it,

Much love,

Keith
