A cancer diagnosis affects far more than the body. In part one, Dr. Eve Glazier sits down with UCLA Health radiation oncologist, lifestyle medicine physician and actor Dr. Roy Vongtama to explore what it means to care for the whole person. They discuss the experiences that shaped Dr. Vongtama's approach to medicine, how evidence-based lifestyle medicine complements modern cancer treatment, and why empathy, presence and partnership remain essential to high-quality care.
