By treating cancer by focusing on the body, mind and spirit, Dr. Rob Rutledge makes deep connections with his patients. During our conversation we discussed:


  • The profound impact Dr. Bernie Siegel's book, Love, Medicine and Miracles had on him and how it helped him realize oncology was his calling.
  • The roles mindfullness, meditation and spirituality play in his life.
  • How he came to realize the importance of support groups.
  • Why focusing on the body, mind and spirit is so important to healing.
  • The three-day retreats that he and Dr. Timothy Walker facilitate.
  • The meaning and importance of integrative medicine.

Lee & Linda Silverstein

In 2011, just four months after they began dating, Lee was diagnosed with Stage 2 colon cancer. A year and a half later, 17 days after their honeymoon, they learned that Lee’s cancer had spread to his liver; he was now Stage 4. Through numerous surgeries, chemotherapy infusions and assorted other treatments, Linda has been by his side. Despite cancer, Lee and Linda say unequivocally these have been the best years of their lives.

In 2015 Lee launched this podcast as a way to provide information, inspiration and hope to those affected by cancer.

Lee and Linda live in Florida with their Westie Terrier, Fergie.
