Before a single supplement was prescribed, a full blood panel found what the scan never could, and it became the blueprint for everything that came after.

Stress doesn’t cause cancer. But it’s measurable in the body, and it belongs in the conversation about care, right alongside diet, sleep, and the rest of the terrain.

Cancer Is More Complex Than You Think

Cancer is rarely about just one thing.

In this reel, Dr. Derek Guillory explains why cancer is often the result of multiple factors interacting over time, including immune function, environmental exposures, lifestyle, inflammation, and other biological influences.

That complexity matters, because every person’s biology and every tumor can be different.

At Root Causes Oncology, we look at the bigger picture to better understand what may be contributing to each individual case and how care can be more personalized.

What Triggers Cancer? Immune System Overwhelmed

What actually triggers cancer?

In this reel, Dr. Derek Guillory explores how chronic stressors on the body, including infections, inflammation, environmental exposures, and other biological challenges, can overwhelm the immune system and create conditions where abnormal cells may be harder to control.

This is not about blame. It is about understanding the bigger picture.

At Root Causes Oncology, we look beyond the tumor alone to explore the biological terrain, immune function, and other factors that may influence how cancer develops and progresses.

Why Are Young Adults Getting Cancer?

More people are asking a difficult question: why are we seeing more aggressive cancers in younger adults?

In this reel, Dr. Derek Guillory explores why this trend deserves attention and why it may be important to look beyond the diagnosis alone. From immune health and inflammation to environment, metabolism, and the body’s overall terrain, a deeper conversation may help us ask better questions and pursue more personalized care.

At Root Causes Oncology, we believe cancer care should not stop at treating the visible disease. It should also seek to understand the biological conditions that may be influencing how cancer develops and behaves.

Immune Failure Fuels Cancer

When the immune system is functioning well, it plays an important role in identifying and responding to abnormal cells.

But when those defenses become weakened or disrupted, the biological environment can become more favorable for cancer to grow and progress.

In this reel, Dr. Derek Guillory explains why immune function matters in cancer care, and why supporting the body’s natural defenses may be an important part of a more complete, integrative approach.

At Root Causes Oncology, we look beyond the tumor alone to better understand the systems that influence how cancer develops and behaves.

Cancer-Fighting Cells: How to Support Them

Your body already has powerful defense systems working every day.

Certain immune cells help recognize and respond to abnormal cells, including cancer cells. The question is not simply whether those defenses exist, but how we can support the body’s natural ability to do its job.

In this reel, Dr. Derek Guillory explains why immune function matters in cancer care and how integrative approaches may be used alongside conventional treatment to support the body as a whole.

At Root Causes Oncology, we believe understanding the biology behind cancer can help create a more thoughtful, personalized approach to care.

Should you fast with cancer?

Fasting can be a powerful tool, but when it comes to cancer, it is not one-size-fits-all.

For some people, fasting may support metabolic health, digestive rest, and certain aspects of treatment. For others, especially those already struggling with weight loss, weakness, or nutritional needs, fasting may not be the right choice.

The key is understanding your individual situation, your treatment plan, and what your body needs right now.

At Root Causes Oncology, we believe supportive strategies should be personalized, thoughtful, and used in a way that works alongside your overall cancer care.

Why did I get cancer?

A cancer diagnosis often brings one of the hardest questions: “Why did this happen to me?”

The conventional answer may focus on genetic mutations or changes that happen as we age. But that may not tell the whole story.

At Root Causes Oncology, we look deeper at the biological environment surrounding cancer, including metabolism, inflammation, immune function, environmental exposures, lifestyle, and other factors that may influence how disease develops and progresses.

This isn’t about blame. It’s about understanding more, asking better questions, and creating a more personalized approach to care alongside conventional oncology.
