Join us in welcoming Jennifer Ron, MD, to our Prevention & Wellness Series. Dr. Ron will be talking with you about healing cancer from within during this webinar. Dr. Jennifer Ron is a seasoned emergency physician and cancer patient. Her healing journey started with integrative medicine and led to changing her inner environment, aka metabolic health, to not be hospitable to cancer. Her tumor growth halted. In the process, she created a more vibrant life filled with energy, gratefulness, and purpose, which she wants for all cancer patients.
