Restore the Immune System with Microbiome Health

An evening talk with Dr. Heidi Lucas, ND FABNO
Monday, December 2nd at 6:00-7:30 pm

    We know that the immune system – a sophisticated network of organs, cells, and proteins – is crucial for fighting cancer, infection, and disease.

Current research has confirmed the critical role of the microbiome (microbes in the gut) in healthy immune function.

Going through cancer diagnosis and treatment—surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapies, and immunotherapy—is taxing for the GI tract and immune system. Come learn how we can restore and heal these systems through nutrition, botanical medicine and lifestyle choices.

Dr. Heidi Lucas is a highly skilled Naturopathic Doctor specializing in integrative cancer care for the past 20 years.

Dr. Lucas has worked alongside oncologists and conventional physicians for the entirety of her career, and is frequently sought by conventional oncologists for her expertise in integrative oncology and natural medicine.

She is an active educator and speaker of integrative oncology at leading cancer centers including the Hearst Cancer Resource Center, Leukemia Lymphoma Society, Oncology Nursing Society, American Cancer Society, Gilda’s Club, Cancer Lifeline, Rooted SB, Bastyr University, and many hospitals around the country.
