Personalized Support for Your Cancer Journey
Your cancer journey deserves care that looks at the whole person, not just the diagnosis. Internal Healing & Wellness MD supports patients in The Woodlands, Shenandoah, and the greater Houston area with personalized cancer care through a functional medicine and integrative oncology approach.
As an integrative cancer center and holistic cancer center for Houston-area patients, our care helps you explore advanced testing, support whole-body wellness, and complement, not replace, standard oncology care, imaging, clinical guidelines, or treatments recommended by your oncology team.
Integrative cancer care combines conventional oncology with evidence-informed supportive therapies that address nutrition, immune health, lifestyle, recovery, and overall well-being. Rather than replacing standard cancer treatment, it works alongside your oncology team's recommendations to provide whole-person support throughout the cancer journey.

A Functional Medicine Approach to Cancer Support
Functional medicine examines the underlying factors that may influence a patient’s overall health throughout the cancer journey, including nutrition, inflammation, immune function, detoxification, gut health, hormones, and resilience. Our whole-person cancer care approach helps guide supportive strategies that complement conventional oncology care.
By identifying nutritional, metabolic, immune, and lifestyle factors that may influence overall health, functional medicine helps create personalized support plans that evolve alongside your treatment and recovery. Every recommendation is designed to complement—not replace—your oncology care.

Advanced Cancer Testing, Early Detection & Treatment Response Insights
Advanced cancer testing helps patients explore early detection options, treatment response insights, and personalized cancer care support as part of an integrative oncology approach. These services help connect patients with relevant testing options while supporting informed conversations with their oncology team.
Repurposed Drug Assay
The Repurposed Drug Assay evaluates how patient-derived cancer cells respond to selected therapeutic agents, including repurposed or off-label medications, in a laboratory setting. This test may add another layer of information to personalized cancer care discussions.
Functional Chemo-Sensitivity Testing
Functional chemo-sensitivity testing evaluates how living cancer cells respond to selected chemotherapy drugs or therapeutic agents outside the body. These results may help identify laboratory-based patterns of sensitivity or resistance that can be reviewed alongside the patient’s diagnosis, treatment history, and oncology plan.
NaturaGene-AI Testing
NaturaGene-AI testing combines genetic analysis and artificial intelligence to evaluate cancer-related pathways, repurposed medications, and supplements. This can support integrative oncology decision-making by helping patients explore how tumor biology, cellular pathways, and natural cancer support options may relate to their care plan.
Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Testing
The Galleri® Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test is a blood test that screens for cancer signals across more than 50 cancer types. This early detection option may provide additional insight beyond routine screening and help guide follow-up evaluation when needed.
RGCC Testing
For patients who need more context beyond standard reports, RGCC testing can offer blood-based insight into circulating tumor cells, biological markers, and treatment-response patterns. Results may help guide more informed discussions around monitoring, recurrence concerns, and personalized cancer care.
Circulating Tumor Cell (CTC) Testing
CTC testing focuses on cancer-related cells that may be moving through the bloodstream. This cancer monitoring blood test may be considered when patients want added insight into treatment response, progression, or follow-up concerns.
Cancer Biomarker Testing
Biomarker testing can help bring cancer-related signals into clearer focus, including genetic, molecular, or pathway-related patterns. These findings may add another layer of information when patients and providers are reviewing care direction, monitoring needs, or treatment-response questions.
Cancer Recurrence Monitoring
Cancer recurrence monitoring may include blood-based testing, functional lab insights, and clinical review while keeping oncology evaluation and standard surveillance central. This support can help patients bring added context to follow-up conversations after treatment.
Functional Medicine Support During & After Cancer Treatment
Functional medicine support helps patients address the health factors that may affect strength, tolerance, recovery, and overall well-being during the cancer journey. Through testing, nutrition, supportive therapies, and personalized care planning, patients receive whole-person support that complements conventional treatment.
Beyond advanced testing, supportive therapies and functional medicine strategies can help address the physical and emotional challenges that often accompany cancer treatment and recovery.
Functional Lab Testing
Functional lab testing may include micronutrient, food sensitivity, environmental toxin, gut health, hormone, and other advanced assessments. These tests help identify hidden imbalances that may guide a personalized support plan.
Nutrition & Supplement Support
Nutrition and targeted supplementation may be included based on symptoms, health history, and lab findings. This support helps address nutrient needs, digestion, inflammation, immune wellness, and overall resilience.
Mistletoe Therapy
Mistletoe therapy may be considered for patients seeking physician-guided complementary support during cancer care. It is used to support treatment tolerance, immune function, and quality of life alongside conventional oncology care.
Metabolic & Energy Support
Metabolic and energy support focuses on blood sugar balance, inflammation, nutrition, and cellular energy demands during or after treatment. This care may help support resilience and day-to-day strength.
Holistic Cancer Treatment Support
Holistic cancer treatment support brings together testing, functional medicine, nutrition, and complementary therapies in one whole-person care plan. This approach is designed to support the patient beyond the diagnosis while conventional oncology care remains central.
Cancer Recovery & Survivorship Care
Cancer recovery and survivorship care supports patients after chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, or other treatments. Care may focus on rebuilding energy, digestion, nutrient status, and long-term wellness.
Condition-Specific Cancer Support
Every cancer journey is different. Condition-specific functional medicine support helps patients address the unique health factors connected to their diagnosis, treatment history, and overall wellness needs. This approach supports the whole person while helping patients stay connected to their conventional oncology team.
While every cancer diagnosis is unique, many patients benefit from supportive care tailored to the specific challenges associated with their condition. Our personalized approach considers your diagnosis, treatment history, symptoms, and long-term wellness goals.
Breast Cancer Support
Functional medicine support for breast cancer may include attention to hormone balance, gut health, nutrition, immune support, supplements, and lifestyle factors. The goal is to complement conventional care while supporting overall wellness, recovery, and quality of life.
Prostate Cancer Support
Functional medicine support for prostate cancer may include personalized strategies for nutrition, inflammation balance, lifestyle changes, environmental exposures, and whole-body wellness. This is designed to support the patient’s broader care plan and overall well-being.
Ovarian Cancer Support
Functional medicine support for ovarian cancer focuses on whole-person care, including nutrition, lifestyle, root-cause evaluation, and supportive strategies that complement conventional treatment.
Colon Cancer Support
Colon cancer can affect digestion, nutrient absorption, inflammation, and recovery needs. Functional medicine support may help patients address these whole-body factors while staying aligned with their oncology treatment plan.

Pancreatic Cancer Support
