Taylor Dukes: How She Beat Cancer with Functional Medicine | TUH #155

About this video

Brecka interviews functional medicine practitioner Taylor Dukes, who recounts being diagnosed with a large brain tumour despite having no symptoms, and choosing an integrative path alongside conventional care. Dukes argues cancer reflects metabolically sick cells, describes caring for ’the host’ — food, water, air, sleep and environment — and says her tumour shrank before surgery, which she presents as a source of hope.

Key takeaways

• Dukes states she had a thriving practice and young family when a scan found a massive frontal-lobe tumour
• She argues disease builds from small accumulations over time rather than appearing overnight
• Dukes presents an integrative approach as combining the best of conventional and holistic care
• She emphasises mindset and being ‘in service to the body’ in everything consumed or breathed during treatment
