Dr. Geo Espinosa - Naturopathic medicine & Testicular cancer
Welcome to Episode 45 of It Takes Balls
In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dr. Geo Espinosa, a naturopathic physician and faculty member at NYU’s Department of Urology, dives into the integrative strategies that can support testicular cancer patients on their journey to recovery and beyond. Blending cutting-edge science with practical lifestyle advice, Dr. Geo unpacks the misconceptions about naturopathic medicine, emphasizing its role as a complement—not a replacement—to conventional cancer treatments like chemotherapy, which is exceptionally effective for testicular cancer.
The discussion spans a wide array of topics, from the importance of identifying environmental risk factors—like prenatal exposure to toxins—to actionable steps for thriving post-treatment, such as clean eating, tailored exercise, and prioritizing mental health. Dr. Geo introduces the concept of "thrivership," challenging the traditional survivor narrative, and shares his insights on natural ways to boost testosterone and support the body’s detoxification systems after chemo. He also addresses hot-button topics like cannabis use during treatment, the hidden dangers of endocrine disruptors in everyday life, and even how to avoid harmful chemicals in food and water.
With his sharp wit and engaging style, Dr. Geo offers a fresh perspective on how patients can reclaim their health and longevity while navigating the challenges of life after cancer.
