Cancer treatment often places a heavy burden on the body. Whether you’re facing chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery, preparing your body beforehand can make a measurable difference in how well you tolerate treatment and how quickly you recover. At Knox Wellness, our medical team believes in a proactive, integrative approach that strengthens the immune system, supports cellular health, and improves resilience before treatment begins.
Optimize Nutrition for Resilience
Good nutrition is foundational for anyone about to begin cancer treatment. Treatment can deplete the body of essential vitamins and minerals, impair digestion, and increase inflammation. At Knox Wellness, you can work with our team to develop a personalized nutrition plan that supports immune function and energy. In some cases, we recommend IV nutrient therapy to provide optimal doses of vitamin C, B-complex, magnesium, and antioxidants to prepare the body for cellular stress.
Support Detoxification Pathways
Cancer treatments generate metabolic waste and oxidative stress, placing extra pressure on your liver and other detox organs. Strengthening your body’s detox pathways in advance can improve how your body processes medications and manages side effects. We often recommend infrared sauna sessions, glutathione support, and targeted supplements to enhance natural detoxification and reduce toxic load before treatment begins.
Balance Stress Hormones and Immune Function
Chronic stress can negatively impact immune function and recovery. Stress hormone saliva testing at Knox Wellness gives insight into cortisol and DHEA levels, which play a vital role in regulating inflammation and immunity. By identifying adrenal imbalances early, we can recommend therapies such as adaptogenic herbs, peptide therapy, or hormone support to reduce stress on the body and mind.
Oxygen and Circulation Support
Proper oxygenation improves energy, healing, and immune response. Oxygen-based therapies, including ozone and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), may be considered before starting treatment to support cellular repair and blood flow. These therapies promote a healthier internal environment and prepare tissues for the stress of chemotherapy or radiation.
Mistletoe Therapy for Immune Modulation
Mistletoe therapy is well-established in integrative oncology for its ability to support the immune system and improve tolerance to treatment. At Knox Wellness, mistletoe therapy can be initiated before cancer treatment to help regulate the body’s response to chemotherapy and support overall vitality.
Build a Stronger Foundation Before Treatment
Preparing for cancer treatment doesn’t have to be passive. At Knox Wellness, our integrative oncology specialists guide patients through proactive steps that fortify the body and improve overall readiness. If you’re preparing for cancer care, schedule a consultation to create a personalized plan that supports healing from the very beginning. Contact us at (865) 801-9501.
