CancerRoot HPA Axis Dysfunction Program
CANCERROOTS PROGRAM · 01

CancerRoot HPA Axis Dysfunction Program

This service focuses on managing cortisol levels in cancer patients, as elevated cortisol can worsen cancer prognosis and accelerate disease progression. Cortisol, the primary stress hormone in the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal) axis, plays a significant role in regulating the immune system, and its elevation due to stress can suppress immune responses and hinder the body’s ability to fight cancer cells.

Description

The program includes:

  • Initial Consultation: A 1-hour appointment with an Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) to review your medical and cancer history, assess symptoms related to cortisol elevation, and arrange for the ZRT Cortisol Awakening Response Profile (CAR) test, which measures cortisol levels over 24 hours.
  • ZRT CAR Test: A comprehensive, six-sample salivary cortisol test to analyze your cortisol awakening response and diurnal cortisol rhythm, providing insights into your body’s stress response and overall HPA axis function.
  • Follow-up Consultation: A 1-hour session to review test results and create a personalized plan to lower cortisol levels if elevations are found, aiming to improve immune function and cancer treatment outcomes.

The program costs $499, including the test. Participants can apply this cost towards the larger Hyperion Functional Oncology Program if they choose to continue with more in-depth cancer root treatments, including support from a holistic nutritionist and functional medicine health coach.

This service is designed to help cancer patients manage stress, optimize cortisol levels, and improve their cancer prognosis by addressing HPA axis dysfunction.

G.I. Dysbiosis and Malabsorption Cancer Root Program03

G.I. Dysbiosis and Malabsorption Cancer Root Program

This comprehensive service focuses on optimizing the gut microbiome to bolster the immune system, particularly for cancer patients. The G.I. tract, home to 70-80% of the immune system, is often compromised by chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatments, which can lead to dysbiosis and malabsorption issues. Dysbiosis, or the imbalance of gut bacteria, can result in chronic inflammation, infections, and impaired immune responses, all of which may hinder cancer recovery.
