Navigating Integrative Medicine Approaches in CLL
Recorded Tuesday, March 19, 2024
Description:
Integrative medicine in cancer care incorporates an evidence-informed field of complimentary approaches that can include mind-body practices, natural products, and lifestyle modifications used alongside conventional cancer treatments to promote optimal health and well-being. The integrative medicine approach ideally combines the best that Western medicine has to offer with complementary approaches that address the full range of physical, emotional, mental, social, spiritual, and environmental influences which affect an individual’s overall health.
Join CLL Society and Dr. Onyemaechi Okolo-Taku, who will discuss a variety of integrative oncology approaches including diet, exercise, stress-reduction, supplements, meditation, and more. CLL patient and advocate Stephen Brown will share his personal story of being diagnosed with CLL and the four guideposts that have helped him along his journey.
