Inflammation
Chronic inflammatory signaling may shape the biological environment around cancer and influence how the body responds to stress, injury, and recovery.
Integrative Oncology
Whether you are addressing modifiable risk factors, navigating a diagnosis, or rebuilding after treatment — you deserve whole-person, evidence-informed support from a physician who meets you where you are.
Whole-Person, Physician-Led
SANAVITA Health provides physician-led integrative oncology support for people addressing modifiable risk factors or proactively optimizing long-term health, navigating an active diagnosis, or rebuilding after treatment. Our role is to complement your oncology care — coordinating with your team, supporting your terrain and quality of life, and helping you make informed decisions.
We do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent cancer. Everything we provide is adjunctive, evidence-informed, and grounded in clinical appropriateness.
The SANAVITA Cancer Terrain Framework
Cancer does not develop in isolation. At SANAVITA Health, we look beyond the tumor to understand the biological, environmental, metabolic, immune, emotional, and lifestyle terrain that may influence resilience, treatment tolerance, recovery, and long-term health.
This is adjunctive, evidence-informed, physician-led support — provided alongside your oncology team, never instead of it.
This framework is used for education and clinical context. It does not replace oncology diagnosis, treatment, or medical decision-making.
Integrative Oncology Programs
Programs are never one-size-fits-all. When a program is appropriate, Dr. Cantillo recommends one based on your diagnosis, stage of care, goals, oncology treatment plan, labs, terrain factors, and clinical appropriateness. Select the phase that fits your situation to see how it works.
For those who want to address modifiable risk factors, support immune function, address underlying contributors to immune suppression, and gain clarity through a personalized, lab-informed plan — supportive of long-term health.
What it supports
How it fits alongside your oncology care
A proactive, standalone program for those without an active diagnosis — focused on modifiable risk factors and terrain optimization, coordinated with your primary care when helpful.
Program selection happens after case review and your initial integrative oncology visit, when clinically appropriate — never before. Integrative oncology at SANAVITA Health is adjunctive: it is designed to support you alongside, not instead of, your oncology team.
Book a Free Discovery CallHow It Works
A thoughtful, physician-led process designed to understand your case before care begins.
Every new patient relationship begins with a free discovery call — a brief, no-obligation conversation to understand your situation and answer initial questions.
After you schedule, a short application is emailed to you. Completing it before your discovery call helps us understand your case, your health history, your goals, your current concerns, and whether SANAVITA Health may be the right fit.
Dr. Cantillo personally reviews your application and available information. If appropriate, he conducts the discovery call with you and your family to better understand your case and answer initial questions.
If SANAVITA Health is the right fit, you will be invited to schedule an initial integrative oncology visit to establish care and discuss your case in depth.
After the initial visit and case review, Dr. Cantillo may recommend a personalized integrative oncology program if appropriate — based on your history, goals, oncology treatment plan, labs, terrain factors, and clinical needs.
Patients enrolled in a program receive ongoing support, monitoring, education, care coordination, and maintenance planning as clinically appropriate.
Visit & Program Pricing
The Initial Integrative Oncology Visit is $688 — this is the initial-visit price, not the cost of any ongoing program. Program pricing is provided only after case review and completion of the initial visit. If you are approved for a SANAVITA Health program and choose to enroll, your initial visit fee is applied toward your program fee.
Every new patient relationship begins with a free discovery call. The short application is emailed after you schedule, and we review your case before we meet — so we can confirm SANAVITA Health is an appropriate clinical fit before the initial visit.
Insurance does not typically cover naturopathic consulting. Pricing is subject to change. A sliding-scale option may be available through our Access Program — see the Access page for details.
