Redefining Cancer Care
Integrative Treatments and Functional Medicine to Target Root Causes of Cancer and Inflammation
Welcome to Cincinnati Integrative Oncology and Functional Medicine, where our goal is to equip and empower YOU to eliminate or lessen cancer-predisposing roots that may contribute to cancer development, recurrence, or treatment resistance in those with active cancer. In the face of cancer, we believe that every patient deserves a personalized care plan that is as unique as they are, blending integrative oncology with a holistic root cause solution employing a Functional Medicine approach.
The belief that healing is a collaborative journey is at the heart of our practice. We strive to equip you with the knowledge and tools to take charge of your health, making informed decisions that align with your life and values. Our approach is more than just treating a disease - it’s about nurturing the whole person, understanding your unique story, and tailoring every aspect of your care to fit your needs.
Importantly, we have found that health problems often improve as the identifiable root causes of cancer can also cause inflammation, hormone imbalance, build-up of toxins, and impacts on the microbiome. Uncovering these issues may not only offer an improvement in cancer outcomes but may also eliminate or mitigate other diseases with which you may be dealing.

We also strongly encourage and educate each patient on the metabolic impact of cancer and offer them a terrain-based approach, targeting 10 known contributors to cancer development and cancer recurrence.
Each plan is personalized and takes into account the Functional Medicine matrix and lab testing. Treatment plans aim to combat cancer cells and fortify the body's natural defenses, minimize side effects, mitigate the toxin burden, and enhance the patient's quality of life during treatment.

“Before you heal someone, ask him if he's willing to give up the things that make him sick.” ― Hippocrates
Dr. Jamie Waselenko
When you work with me, you receive a unique, personalized experience offered by an exceptional board-certified hematologist and oncologist who has broadened her expertise to offer integrative anti-cancer therapies and explore the root causes of chronic illnesses, including cancer.
Ideally, all oncology practices would provide this service, but unfortunately, many do not, which may be to the patient's detriment.
All cancer survivors should be educated on altering their terrain to make their bodies inhospitable to cancer. This is critical in lessening the risk of recurrence, cancer development, or ongoing cancer treatment resistance.
“In 2021, I had a great awakening, realizing that I had only been taught pieces of Oncology, discovering that there were many natural therapies and foods with anti-cancer impact. It was then that I decided to go back and fill in those gaps. I have completed additional training in integrative oncology and functional medicine. I am much better equipped to help patients with synergistic therapies and treatments designed to lessen side effects and potentially improve outcomes. Targeting the terrain should’ve always been part of the plan. Targeting the terrain and getting to the root causes of cancer and inflammation is paramount.”
“I now know what your oncologist knows and doesn’t know.”
I am dedicated to empowering patients on their journey of restoration, health, and long-term cancer-free survival.
