Guided by core naturopathic principles - the healing power of nature, treat the cause and doctor as teacher - Dr. Malarkey partners with patients to restore balance as the foundation for systemic healing. She integrates functional testing, lifestyle medicine, herbal support, pharmaceuticals, and evidence-informed nutrition to address root causes—not just manage symptoms. Many chronic conditions—from autoimmune disease to anxiety—can be traced back to gut dysfunction. The gut plays a central role in nutrient absorption and immune function, and is also deeply connected to inflammation, hormone regulation, and mental well-being. And, thus, we always start from the inside.
Cancer affects more than just the physical body—it touches the mind, spirit, and sense of self. Integrative oncology supports patients at every stage of their journey by bridging conventional treatments like surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation with evidence-informed natural therapies designed to enhance resilience, reduce side effects, and improve quality of life. These therapies may include mind-body practices, optimal nutrition, off-label medications, IV treatments, and targeted supplementation—each tailored to the individual’s unique needs and goals. This approach emphasizes collaboration, empowerment, and restoring balance—supporting not just survival, but healing and living life fully.
The endocrine system plays a central role in how we feel—shaping mood, energy, metabolism, sleep, fertility, and more. Yet hormone imbalances are increasingly common, driven not only by stress and lifestyle factors but also by widespread exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals in our environment. These imbalances often stem from deeper issues such as gut dysfunction, impaired detoxification, and the body’s response to chronic stress. Sometimes, the answers lie in functional lab testing; other times, symptoms may reflect emotional trauma, energetic patterns, or environmental stressors.
Through counseling, targeted lifestyle changes, therapeutic nutrition, herbal medicine, and bioidentical hormone therapy when appropriate, Dr. Malarkey helps patients restore hormonal balance, resilience, and lasting well-being.
Supporting your metabolism isn’t just about weight—it’s about giving your body the resilience it needs to heal, thrive, and defend against disease. Metabolic health impacts everything from energy levels to blood sugar balance and is especially critical during cancer treatment, where stable metabolism can support better outcomes. Addressing metabolic concerns often begins with comprehensive testing—such as blood panels or continuous glucose monitors (CGMs)—and leads to personalized treatment plans that may include lifestyle changes, dietary strategies, targeted supplements, and advanced options like GLP-1 agonists. Achieving optimal metabolic health lowers the risk of chronic illness while enhancing heart health, cognitive function, and long-term vitality.
