When Oncology Meets Spirituality
Sheila Applegate Interviews Integrative Oncologist,
Dr. Heidi Puc.
What happens when an Oncologist has a life changing experience that challenges her beliefs about treating Cancer?
When this happened to Dr. Heidi Puc, she discovered Integrative Oncology and dedicated her life to healing cancer through a holistic approach that includes both traditional and alternative medicine.
Several people mentioned to me they recently listened to an archived episode of Enchanted One radio in which I interviewed Heidi.
This inspired me to share the interview with you here on Consciously Awesome and the timing could not be more perfect!
Dr. Puc is very excited to announce that she is opening up her own integrative medicine practice, Integrative Medicine of Central New York, PC, in the Syracuse area with a planned opening in summer of 2018.
Have a listen and let us know what you think.

One of my favorite moments is when I gaze into my empty fridge and pantry (which happens a lot when I am immersed in a creative project) then putting odd random ingredients together, I create a delectable masterpiece.
That was a great interview Sheila and Heidi! And still pertinent today – even more so as Heidi is opening her own practice her in the area!! Thank you for sharing her fabulous path, insight, and wisdom.
