#479: Transforming Cancer Care Through Innovation And Personalized Treatments With Dr. Nathan Goodyear

Nathalie Niddam (0:06)

Welcome back to the show. I'm Natalie Niddam, your host.

Today, we talk about how cancer and Longevity are usually treated as two completely separate conversations, for obvious reasons. But my guest today, Dr. Nathan Goodyear, makes a compelling case that they may actually be working for many of the same underlying systems.

This was a really remarkable interview. It was a great conversation. I think you guys are going to love it. Dr. Goodyear is a physician in integrative oncology and systems biology at Williams Cancer Institute, where his work combines immune-focused tumor treatments with a broader view of metabolic health, inflammation, mitochondria and the microbiome. Now, in this episode, we unpack why the environment around a tumor matters and how local treatments may help to activate a body-wide immune response. This is a conversation about asking better questions, keeping the patient at the center, and making cancer care less stuck in the past. I think you guys are going to love this. We've got all the resources to connect with Dr. Goodyear if you need to at any time. Hopefully never, but just in case, it's all in the show notes. Enjoy. I think that we can all agree that there is a big difference between being able to finish a workout and feeling like you still have a functioning human body afterwards. That is exactly why I've been looking at the combination of Vo2-Max and Crevolution from LVLUP Health.

For me, Longevity training is not just about lifting heavier or collecting fancy wearable data. You guys know that. I want the muscle energy to train well, the recovery to come back for the next session, and the aerobic capacity to make everyday life feel easier. Now, Vo2-Max supports healthy blood flow, oxygen use, respiratory function, and physical resilience during exercise. Crevolution supports the other side of the equation, muscle strength, rapid energy production, recovery, and even cognitive support. Crevolution paired with Vo2-Max is a super smart way to support both performance and the capacity you want to preserve as you age.

Enjoy. Let's have a little chat, shall we? Marriage, if we're lucky, and I am blessed, is a beautiful thing. Right up until about, let's say, call it 2:17 AM when one person decides to start their somewhat untimely snoring routine. Here's the problem, I'm a light sleeper, so nighttime noise has always been disruptive to me. Works really well when we had small kids, not so much now.

And my beloved does snore, and I do love him. But I also love getting full night sleep. Now this is why I wear my Ozlo Sleepbuds 2 every single night. I usually keep the volume pretty low, like I'm around, I don't know, around 22, 23%.

And the noise masking is just enough that his snoring doesn't pull me out of sleep. They are also unbelievably comfortable, especially even for me as a side sleeper. Now, what I also love is that these were designed for sleeping, but you can use them for a couple of other things. Now, they're not trying to be your everyday listening device. They're purposely built to help you fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling more rested. Now, if you choose to, you can listen to a podcast or meditation while you're drifting off. And then once you fall asleep, they automatically switch over to built-in sleep sounds. It's one of those little pieces of technology that quietly makes life a whole lot better. And before you panic about EMFs, they offer downloadable sleep sounds, which is what I use. I personally turn my phone on airplane mode every night while I'm sleeping, and it just plays my favorite noise masking track. So, if you're a light sleeper like me, or if you travel a lot, if you have noisy neighbors or share a room with someone who has impressive snoring skills, you've just got to check them out.

Welcome to the podcast. It is such a pleasure to host you today.

Yeah. It's like you're like my sister from another mother, right?

We've only known that now through our prep before the show. It's like, oh my gosh, we're like in alignment. It's like, this is crazy. We're going off on all different angles of conversations.

Nathalie Niddam (4:43)

I'm stoked about this conversation because I think that the cancer conversation too often gets hijacked by one side or the other. And by one side or the other, I speak about the integrative medicine side or the conventional medicine side. And in my opinion, and I think we are aligned, one of the many places we're aligned, the magic in oncology comes and is going to come from the coming together of those two sides. So thank you for taking the time today and for being here with me.
