The Inspiration Behind the Holistic Cancer Care Series

I know that a cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. Based on my experience working with thousands of cancer patients, I’ve distilled the fundamentals of Chinese medicine that are supportive, accessible, and, most importantly, improve outcomes for patients with cancer.

Insights to Cancer: A Self-Care Wellness Series is the result. 

The Insights to Cancer Self-Care Series is a four-part self-paced online program designed to guide you through traditional Chinese medicine’s approach to cancer management using an integrative lens at your own pace…because life happens, am I right?


More importantly, the series explains how to incorporate this wisdom into your daily life and care routine with straightforward self-care tips. I’m not saying the advice is always easy to implement (you bet diet and exercise are important, though perhaps not in the ways you’ve been taught…)--but if you are committed to your own self-care during your cancer journey, know there is a time-tested path waiting for you.

  • "Designing a regimen of nutrition, exercise, acupuncture, Chinese supplements and herbs with Dr. Bianca was a beautiful experience.

    I honestly could not have asked for a better partner in navigating the complexities of cancer and building a plan of action to support my mind, body, and spirit. With her gentle guidance, I was able to see that this new world was one not one of hard work and deprivation, but one of upbeat moderation and hope. “

    — A.W.

  • "Two years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and the only thing that was offered to me in the way of treatment was 'standard of care' and I wanted more than just that.

    The breast cancer advocate at the hospital recommended Dr. Bianca Di Giulio. I will be forever grateful to Dr. Bianca because she has helped me more than I ever thought was possible in my healing from lumpectomy and navigating the next steps. She’s incredibly kind and knowledgeable, using not just acupuncture to support healing. A true healer in every way.”

What You Can Expect

Each week you’ll receive specific cancer-related recommendations and resources curated to your current diagnosis, treatment plan, and current concerns.

Modules include:

Acupuncture and Chinese medicine fundamentals 

Acupuncture (and its cousin, moxibustion) can help treat, and more importantly, prevent, all of the most common side effects of chemotherapy, radiation, and cancer surgery. Learn how Chinese medicine’s ancient perspectives on cancer can support you–whether or not you are currently working directly with a licensed acupuncturist.

Herbs and Supplements

Plants are truly our planet’s original medicine–did you know that paclitaxel, a chemotherapy drug commonly used to treat many types of cancer, is derived from the bark of the Pacific yew tree?? Complex conditions like cancer require daily treatment, which herbs provide. Understand the basics of herbal medicine, supplementation (less is more!), and medicinal mushrooms.

Oncology Nutrition and Kitchen Medicine

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, food therapy is as prominent a part of our treatment plans as acupuncture or herbs. Get tips for incorporating the best of East-meets-West nutrition concepts into your cancer care diet, including eating seasonally, the Chinese body clock and meal timing, energetic properties of food, and modern research into powerful phytochemicals in fruits and vegetables. 

Mindbody Wellness

A cancer diagnosis and treatment can be emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually destabilizing. Chinese recognizes that all of these components are part of the whole you that requires care and compassion. Learn how ancient traditions and modern science view the power of meditation and mindbody practices–and get a roadmap for incorporating these into your self-care regimen.
