Manage Cancer
With Confidence
& Clarity
If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you’re likely feeling overwhelmed with information, questions, and uncertainty about the future. At the Integrated Health Clinic, we provide integrative, evidence-informed cancer management services designed to enhance your quality of life and improve your overall survival.
Proven Strategies to Enhance Your Quality of Life & Improve Your Overall Survival
Understanding creates confidence in uncertain times. At IHC, we don’t just manage cancer—we empower you with clear, actionable knowledge about your options. For 25 years, we’ve helped thousands of patients like you make informed decisions throughout their cancer management journey.
Evidence-Informed, Integrative, & Effective Cancer Management
The Integrated Health Clinic’s Cancer Management Program is built on three foundational pillars:
Knowledge is Power
Education is our cornerstone—helping you understand your options, sift through complex information, and make confident decisions about your care. Our doctors thoroughly explain every aspect of your unique circumstance, ensuring you’re equipped to make informed choices every step of the way.
Integrative Care
We combine proven conventional treatments with evidence-informed natural therapies, creating personalized strategies designed to enhance your quality of life and improve your overall survival. Prescriptions for nutrition, exercise, lifestyle, sleep hygiene, stress reduction, nutraceuticals, and much more.
Whole-Person Focus
We know that cancer affects every aspect of life—from physical health to relationships, work, and your sense of self. That’s why, in addition to treating your symptoms, we prioritize improving your emotional and spiritual well-being, helping you maintain the life you want to live.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT IHC
Your Cancer Management Journey Starts Here
We offer evidence-based conventional and natural therapies designed to maximize efficacy. Our holistic, evidence-informed naturopathic approach to cancer management considers your whole-body health—physical, emotional, and spiritual.
We want to understand your entire health journey. So, we begin with a 60-minute consultation to review previous testing and lab results, discuss lifestyle and nutrition habits, and uncover potential conflicts in your recovery.
We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Knowledge is power. Our mission is to keep you as informed as possible about your options and the changes you can make to help you take control.
We’ll be with you every step of the way as we develop your treatment plan, which will be centred on your whole body.
When you’re a patient at IHC, you’re never on your own. From treatment to recovery to remission, we’re there to ensure you have the knowledge and care you need.
We will work with you to understand your current challenges and assess and optimize your physical and mental status.
