  • What Every Patient Needs to Know About Cancer Detection - with Dr. Chadi Nabhan
    Nov 9 2024

    Can a simple ultrasound save your life when mammograms miss the mark? Should you get a colonoscopy every year, or is that too extreme? In my latest interview with distinguished hematologist-oncologist Dr. Chadi Nabhan, author of over 300 medical articles and abstracts, we dive deep into the complex world of cancer screening, prevention, and treatment.

    "Cancer is not one disease," Dr. Nabhan emphasizes. "Many cancers are curable, while some are not. They're not equal, and we can't treat them all the same way."In this episode Dr. Miller engages with Dr. Chadi Nabhan, a distinguished hematologist and oncologist, discussing the complexities of cancer, the importance of early detection, and the nuances of patient communication. Dr. Nabhan emphasizes that cancer is not a singular disease but a collection of various conditions, each requiring tailored approaches to treatment and screening. The conversation also highlights personal stories related to cancer experiences, advocating for proactive communication between patients and healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care.

    In this conversation, Dr. Chadi Nabhan discusses various aspects of cancer, focusing on prostate cancer, melanoma, and the importance of screening and mental health in cancer treatment. He emphasizes the need for personalized patient care, the complexities of cancer screening, and the emotional journey patients undergo. The discussion also highlights the role of exercise in managing cancer-related fatigue and the importance of regular skin examinations for early detection of skin cancers.

  • From Stock Broker to Wellness Influencer
    Oct 24 2024

    When I first connected with Ebru Şinik (@ebrusinik) on Instagram, something special resonated. Here was someone halfway across the world speaking the same language of health, persistence, and joy that I've championed for decades. Through her posts and our growing digital friendship, I witnessed her remarkable ability to beam light and positivity while delivering serious, science-based wellness education to thousands.

    Our paths seemed destined to cross.

    In our recent conversation I shared with her how my grandmother had lived in Istanbul in 1908, speaking Turkish with such fluency that decades later she could still converse with Turkish visitors.

    Now, Ebru is transforming wellness education in her beloved Istanbul through an inspiring blend of modern science and ancient wisdom.

    Twenty years ago, Ebru was a successful stock broker battling chronic health issues. Today, she's a leading voice in preventive medicine, training the next generation of wellness practitioners and transforming corporate culture across Turkey. Her journey offers valuable lessons for anyone seeking to improve their health and find their true calling.

    In our wide-ranging discussion, Ebru shares:

    How daily meditation and breathing practices transformed her health when conventional approaches failed

    The science-based morning routine that keeps her vibrant at 51

    Her work bringing wellness programs to major companies like Microsoft, Apple, and Google

    The importance of treating our bodies as our "only asset" in this world
