Interpreting Labs Through a Cancer Lens
Live 2-part workshop with board-certified radiation oncologist, Christy Kesslering, MD. Learn how to understand the key lab tests so you can optimize your metabolic health to reduce risk for cancer or improve your treatment outcome.
Online Via Zoom – June 25 & 26, 2023
Metabolic Health & Cancer
Cancer is not primarily a genetic disease. Your metabolic health – especially your blood sugar levels and insulin sensitivity – have a strong influence on your risk for cancer.
But what are the optimal levels? And what else should you measure besides glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and insulin?
Learn the most important lab tests, what they mean, and what the optimal ranges are specifically through the lens of reducing risk for cancer or supporting an improved treatment outcome if you already have cancer.
“Normal” Does Not Mean Optimal
When your goal is to reduce risk for cancer or to optimize the outcome of treatment, standard laboratory reference ranges are too general and vague.
You don’t want to just fall within an arbitrary range.
You want to know your metabolic health is as robust as it can possibly be.
But which tests are most important? And what do the results mean?
Demystify Your Lab Tests
Why are test results so full of abbreviations and acronyms? Why is there so much medical gobbledygook? Why does it all seem so complicated and complex? Why won’t someone explain things in plain English?
Dr. Kesslering will!
Learn This & More…
- Which lab tests are the most important for assessing your metabolic health
- What these tests measure and why this matters for reducing cancer risk
- How the optimal ranges are different from standard reference ranges
- Which tests are critical to do but are not included in standard panels
- How to interpret your labs specifically with regard to reducing cancer risk or optimizing treatment outcome
Empower Yourself
There’s a lot we don’t know about cancer. But that doesn’t mean you are powerless. We know that certain lifestyle and dietary factors affect risk for cancer… and you have complete control over some of them. You can’t change your age or your family history.
But you can change your health trajectory by understanding your lab tests so you can take action to improve your metabolic health in ways that are research-proven to help reduce risk for cancer or support better treatment outcomes.
Workshop Dates & Details
Part 1: Understanding routine labs through a cancer lens – Sunday, June 25 – 8pm Eastern*
Dr. Kesslering will walk you through the standard lab tests that are most important for assessing your metabolic health – what the tests are and what they mean, why they matter, and what the optimal ranges are for supporting overall health and reducing cancer risk.
Part 2: Additional lab tests not always included in standard testing but that are critical to perform to get a comprehensive assessment of your metabolic health – Monday, June 26 – 8pm Eastern*
Based on over twenty years of experience as an oncologist, Dr. Kesslering will tell you the additional tests that are most important to have done and why, and how to interpret your results specifically with the aim of reducing cancer risk or setting yourself up to have the best possible treatment outcome.
*Both parts of the workshop will be presented LIVE, but if you can’t watch live you will receive a link the following day to watch the replay so you won’t miss this essential information. No matter what time zone you live in or the demands of your schedule, don’t miss this critical knowledge to help yourself or someone you love.

No. Dr. Kesslering cannot provide personalized medical advice. However, what you will learn during the workshop will help you have a much better understanding of your own results and empower you with knowledge and confidence to have a more informed discussion with your doctor and other care team members. (This workshop is for educational purposes only. It is not intended to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any medical condition.)
This workshop is intended for anyone who wants to better understand the most important lab tests for assessing and improving metabolic health with the aim of reducing risk for cancer or optimizing treatment outcomes for those already living with cancer. It is suitable for laypeople wanting to take a more informed and proactive role in their own health future as well as for professionals helping their patients to improve their health and support them during cancer treatment.
In part 2 of the workshop, Dr. Kesslering will tell you about an exciting opportunity to dive much deeper into the metabolic origins of cancer and learn about specific dietary and lifestyle strategies you can implement to support robust metabolic health and reduced risk for cancer.
We know how critically important this information is. By signing up for the workshop, you will be able to access this key knowledge whether or not you are able to watch live. Both sessions will be recorded and you will receive an email the following day with a link to watch the replay, so you can watch them as many times as you like.
There’s a lot of misinformation on the internet – a lot of snake oil and empty promises. It’s difficult to know who to trust. If you’ve watched a loved one navigate the frightening and confusing world of cancer treatment, or you’ve gone through it, yourself, you know that there’s a great deal of conflicting information out there and unscrupulous influencers preying on you at your most vulnerable. You want to understand the science – not catchy clickbait headlines, but what the research actually shows. Dr. Kesslering has been treating cancer patients for over twenty years and was among the first to incorporate metabolic therapies into her practice. She is a leading professional in the field and is beloved among her patients and their families for her dedication to research, solid science, and supporting their best possible treatment outcomes.
