Dr. Nasha to give keynote on “Tending the Terrain” at Orlando conference

Picture of Nasha Winters promoting her speaking at Collaboration Cures conference in Orlando.Did you know that, in the mouth, the richest zone of microbes live between the teeth & gums. In fact, patients seen by Terrain practitioners are advised to proceed with caution when considering dental work in an active cancering process because it can release potentially pathogenic bacteria into the bloodstream.

But, the microbiome is just one element of the “Terrain Ten,” the foundation of “The Metabolic Approach to Cancer,” and during Dr. Nasha Winters’ keynote on Friday, Sep 08, 2023, from 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM EDT, at Collaboration Cures, she’ll discuss all the Terrain elements and share how we can all be advocates and activists for health creation. You’ll also learn about the Test, Assess, Address™ methodology, which is taught in our practitioner and advocate education programs as a pathway to truly evaluate for, and optimize, health versus simply addressing symptoms.

The Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health will also have a booth where we’ll share information on our Terrain Practitioners and Advocatesresearch efforts, education programs, and plans to build the world’s first non-profit, integrative metabolic oncology medical campus and research institute.

Bone Broth

Bone Broth: Enhancing Health and Empowering Cancer Recovery

In our pursuit of peak health and vitality, we often seek out health remedies and nutritional options that offer a multitude of benefits. Bone broth is one such powerful tonic, emerging from the age-old tradition of simmering animal bones to create rich and nutritious soups. It boasts a plethora of advantages, including potential capabilities to inhibit cancer metastasis.

Below, we’ll explore the extraordinary health benefits of bone broth and guide you through a straightforward recipe, enabling you to whip up this wholesome brew in your own kitchen.

Health Benefits of Bone Broth

Did you know that amino acids are vital for many health aspects, including our genetic health, DNA synthesis, and methylation? Methylation is an epigenetic process that aids in regulating healthy gene expression. These amino acids play a crucial role in our immune system, and bone broth is an excellent way to incorporate a healthy dose of these into your diet.

When we think about falling sick, one comforting dish that instinctively comes to mind is chicken soup. Among the finest foods to support your immune system is broth derived from the bones of pasture-raised chickens. There’s a valid reason why our mothers and grandmothers instinctively made chicken soup when we were unwell: several elements of bone broth have been discovered to stimulate T cells and B cells! Our bodies require much more than a daily multivitamin for immune system nutrients. The primary source of these nutrients should ideally be from our diet, as it has been for millions of years. For amino acids to function, they need to be present in their entirety, highlighting the significant synergies between vitamins and minerals. Often, they mutually depend on each other to operate.

Taking care of our epigenetics, DNA, and immune system daily is crucial, and the benefits derived from bone broth are immense. Being nutrient-rich, providing adequate hydration, and the gelatin it contains being excellent for our digestive system, broth serves as a warm, comforting, and soothing way to nourish our bodies.

Halting Cancer Metastasis with Glucosamine

Bone broth’s benefits extend beyond joint health. Recent studies have shown that glucosamine, present in bone broth, can act as a toxic agent against certain malignant cell lines, while demonstrating minimal toxicity to healthy tissues. In particular, glucosamine has shown promise in halting metastatic progression in colon, breast, and prostate cancers. By incorporating bone broth into our diet, we can potentially support our body’s natural defense mechanisms and inhibit the spread of cancer cells.

Now that we understand the incredible benefits bone broth can offer, let’s explore a simple recipe to create this nutritious elixir at home:

Bone Broth Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2-2 lbs bones from organic, pasture-raised, grass-fed animal without antibiotics (cow, chicken, turkey, or pig)
  • 1 organic onion, peeled and halved
  • 2 stalks of organic celery, roughly chopped
  • 2-3 cloves of organic garlic
  • 2 tbsp Organic Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Additional herbs to taste (optional)
  • 8 cups filtered water
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. If using raw bones, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bones on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes until they’re well-browned (optional for added flavor).
  2. In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, place the bones, celery, onion, garlic, herbs, and apple cider vinegar.
  3. Fill the pot with water until the bones and vegetables are fully submerged.
  4. Slowly bring the broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer.
  5. Allow the broth to simmer for at least 12 hours for chicken bones and 24 hours for beef bones. For a more nutrient-dense broth, some individuals prefer simmering for up to 48 hours.
  6. Throughout the simmering process, skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface with a spoon or ladle.
  7. Add salt and pepper to taste during the last hour of simmering.
  8. Once the broth reaches your desired intensity of flavor, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
  9. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large container, discarding the solids.
  10. After the broth has cooled, store it in the refrigerator. After a few hours, the fat will rise to the top and can be skimmed off if desired.
  11. Use the broth as a base for soups, sauces, or enjoy it straight as a health-boosting beverage. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for up to 3 months.

Bone broth, with its abundance of collagen and other essential nutrients, offers a myriad of health benefits. From supporting joint health and reducing pain to potentially inhibiting cancer metastasis, bone broth is a simple yet powerful addition to any diet. By embracing the wisdom of our ancestors and incorporating bone broth into our meals, we can nourish our bodies, support our overall well-being, and explore the potential for enhanced health through natural means.

Remember, the healing power of bone broth lies in the bones themselves. So, let’s embrace the benefits of bone broth and nourish our bodies from within!

MTIH Advocates and Practitioners with Dr. Nasha Winters in Tuscany

Dr. Nasha’s Summer 2023 World Tour

There’s a time-honored saying, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” This summer, I’ve enthusiastically flipped through the chapters of my own global journey, traversing diverse landscapes, meeting fascinating individuals, and spreading the message of the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health (MTIH).

This is what my summer has looked like, thus far:

  • PVR to LAX to LHR to ZUR, train to Bergun (Switzerland)
  • Van to Milan, train to Tuscany, van to the castle in the middle of nowhere (or as my friend, Doug says, Now Here) (Italy)
  • Van to Rome, FCO to ATH, ferry to Paros (Greece)
  • PAS to ATH to LTN (UK).
  • LHR to PMI. (Spain)
  • PMI to ORY. (France)
  • CDG to DFW to DRO (USA)
  • Drive to Tucson, AZ USA, drive to San Carlos, Sonora drive to Mazatlan, Sinaloa, and on to La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Nayarit– HOME! (Mexico)

Eight countries, under seven weeks, nine illuminating lectures; each destination presented an opportunity for exploration, connection, learning, and above all, a chance to change the world one moment at a time. Our world travel was truly a captivating book of experiences, and each destination and person that we encountered added a unique page to this extraordinary narrative.

Some of the highlights included: 
  • KetoLive with some of the best minds in metabolic health from around the globe, updates in research in the metabolic health space, and another sneak peek of Maggie and Brad’s documentary coming out this fall!
  • Tuscany retreat meet and greet with our EU and UK-based MTIH patient advocates and practitioners—being in the presence of like-minded, soulful, and passionate colleagues determined to change health outcomes for folks dealing with a cancer diagnosis.
  • A week-long strategy session on the island of Paros, Greece which has served as a source of inspiration, self-care, and motivation as well as focused attention for the expansion of our educational programs globally and coordination of strategic partnerships to spread the MTIH mission and vision.
  • Joining the massive IPM community in London presenting as well as hearing from health experts and thought leaders from around the globe.  Standing ovation for the closing keynote with Dr. Zach Bush and an intimate and inspirational dinner with Dr. Bush, Steve, Janet, and myself to discuss the future of MTIH
  • Having a moment to catch a breath and pause in Mallorca, Spain between 3 lectures in London to a final lecture in Paris after jam-packed weeks with no break while exploring potential future retreat sites for our MTIH community.
  • Spending time making beautiful connections and discussions sharing with our ICNM tribe and feeling excited to hear that metabolic health is the focus for all of the conferences, seemingly unrelated, just highlighting that MTIH is positioned to make the biggest contribution to changing the narrative in health care in general and cancer care in particular.
  • Landing back in Durango, back in the usual weekly workflow mingled with family, friends, and farewells as Steve and I continue to pull up more of our roots to make Mexico our full-time home.
  • Back to Mexico and woke up to this peace, calm, sunrise meditation — the stillness after the storm. 

Have you embarked on any adventures this summer? Join us on Facebook and Instagram to follow all things MTIH and keep tabs on my upcoming fall work/travel itinerary spanning the US, Canada, UK, Germany, and Maldives. Here’s to a promising rest of 2023. Continue to thrive!
