Episode Details

This week on The Functional Aesthetician Podcast, we're talking about a full-body scan that found brain cancer with zero warning signs

And how a metabolic approach helped beat cancer without chemo or radiation.

My guest is Andrea Schaffer, an oncology nutrition consultant whose own cancer diagnosis came out of nowhere.

A preventative full-body Prenuvo scan found a mass in her brain before she ever had a single symptom. 

Three and a half years later, she's cancer-free, and walking us through how she approached her cancer diagnosis.

The ketogenic diet, the toxins she avoided, the labs she runs, and why she advocated for a very different path than standard of care.

If you've ever wondered whether a full-body scan is worth it, what cancer treatment looks like outside the conventional system, or how stress, sleep, and toxins factor into your risk, this episode is for you.

In this Episode, You’ll Learn:

• How a routine full-body MRI scan caught Andrea's brain cancer before she had a single symptom
• Why she chose a ketogenic diet and why cancer cells are so sugar-hungry
• Why her neurosurgeon supported skipping chemo and radiation in favor of a metabolic approach
• Why cancer is more than just a tumor and what it means to treat the whole "terrain" of the body
• The truth about contrast dyes and why she's won’t have contrast in a scan
• The toxin panels Andrea recommends
• How heavy metals, plastics, and mold can impact a cancer diagnosis
• How to advocate for yourself inside the medical system 
• Why regular labs matter, and how often you should run them
• Fasting protocols for metabolic flexibility
• Why sleep may be one of the most overlooked pieces of cancer prevention
