Our Personalized Approach to Healing
At Zuza’s Way Integrative Care Clinic, we believe that healing is a deeply personal journey. Our approach is meticulously tailored to each individual, ensuring that every aspect of treatment is aligned with their unique needs.
Our holistic strategy encompasses the following key areas:
- Bio-Individualized Anti-Cancer Nutrition: Nutrition plays a crucial role in cancer care. Our dietary plans are customized to support each patient’s specific nutritional needs, manage side effects, and make treatment more effective.
- Exercise and Movement for Oxygenation: Exercise enhances oxygenation in the body, an important aspect of cancer treatment and overall well-being.
- Reducing Toxic Load through Detoxification: Detoxification is a buzzword that is thrown around a lot online. Our protocol includes TESTING to find toxins that could have played a role in causing your diagnosis, and then carefully detoxifying the body to reduce the burden of these accumulated toxins, thereby facilitating healing and recovery.
- Psychoneuroimmunology – Emotional and Spiritual Healing: We understand the profound connection between the mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. Our approach includes therapies aimed at emotional and spiritual healing, supporting the psychoneuroimmunological aspects of wellness.
- Immunomodulation and Mitochondrial Health: Strengthening the immune system and enhancing mitochondrial health are central to our treatment strategy. We employ various methods to modulate the immune response and support cellular health.
- Non-Toxic Therapies, Supplements, and Gut Health: Our clinic offers a range of non-toxic therapies complemented by carefully selected supplements to enhance gut health, a critical factor in overall wellness and cancer recovery.
Test, Assess, Address, Don’t Guess
Understanding every patient’s Terrain and bio-individuality is critical to determining a patient’s treatment options. Our methodology is based on testing and assessing each patient and addressing their specific health issues that led to their cancer diagnosis. The foundation of our treatment philosophy is the Terrain Based Treatment™ Approach, developed by Dr. Nasha Winters from the Metabolic Terrain Institute of Health (MTIH.org).
TEST: We begin with a comprehensive biomedical workup, including extensive laboratory testing. This covers metabolic, inflammatory, and toxic exposure risk factors, as well as an epigenetic blueprint. We also consider the patient’s extensive health history since birth, diet, family background, lifestyle, and environmental influences.
ASSESS: Our team methodically interprets each individual’s unique test data. This careful analysis guides us in selecting the most appropriate targeted therapies at the right time throughout their treatment.
ADDRESS: We provide a range of well-researched, metabolic therapies alongside a re-envisioned standard of care. Our state-of-the-art clinic offers many advanced therapies that patients often believe are only available abroad.
NEVER GUESS: Our innovative data platform supports analytics and research, offering scientific evidence to inform the most effective cancer treatment for each individual.

Our Process For Adult Oncology
Our Process For Pediatric Oncology
Pediatric Oncology Course: After working with hundreds of pediatric cancer families it became apparent to me that a course was needed for families that can give a lot of information and address many questions/concerns through a cancer journey.
Pediatric Oncology Course Plus 1:1 Support: For those that want to work 1:1 with Dagmara Beine to individualize a child’s plan or apply epigenetic results this is the best option.
