In this episode, we sit down with Ines Sadoc Pereira, a nurse consultant and wound care specialist, to explore the often-overlooked world of oncology wound and scar management. Ines shares her professional journey from ICU nurse in Portugal to tissue viability expert in the UK and explains the unique challenges cancer patients face when it comes to skin health, wounds, and healing. We talk about the role of education, therapeutic communication, and scar therapy in improving quality of life, as well as the importance of compassionate, patient-centered care. We also explore how recent advancements — from AI and telemedicine to next-generation wound products — are reshaping this field, and what still needs to change to make care more accessible, holistic, and human.

In this episode, we’re joined by Leslie Waltke, a globally respected oncology physical therapist, for an in-depth conversation about the critical and often overlooked role of physiotherapy in cancer care. Waltke explores how physical therapists support patients across the cancer continuum — from diagnosis to survivorship. She dives into the benefits of early intervention, the power of personalized exercise programs, and how rehab strategies can reduce side effects, improve treatment outcomes, and restore quality of life. The podcast also highlights pressing challenges in the field, including the lack of trained oncology physiotherapists, common misconceptions about exercise during treatment, and why physical therapy must be seen as essential — and not optional — in integrative cancer care.

In this episode, Scott Capoza, a board-certified oncology physical therapist at Yale, shared his background and experience in the field, highlighting the growing importance of rehabilitation in cancer care despite its limited integration in the United States compared to other countries. He discussed the critical role of prehabilitation and rehabilitation in improving treatment outcomes, addressing side effects, and empowering patients throughout their cancer journey, emphasizing the need for better education and communication among healthcare professionals. Scott also shared his personal experience with cancer diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the importance of structured exercise programs and holistic care approaches, while expressing interest in connecting with clinicians worldwide to improve his practice.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dana Zhaxylykova, an Environmental Scientist & Microplastics Researcher, for a fascinating discussion about one of today’s most urgent environmental health issues: Microplastics.

The hidden dangers of these tiny plastic particles, and how they’re showing up in our food, water, and air.

What this all means for human health and what we can do to reduce exposure.
