Biohacking Cancer: A Clear, Strategic Guide to Helping Your Body Heal, authored by Dr. Doreen DeStefano, DNP, NHD, APRN, founder of Root Causes Holistic Health and Medicine in Fort Myers, will be released on October 1, 2026. Drawing from more than two decades of experience in integrative and functional medicine, DeStefano examines cancer through a broader biological lens—looking beyond the tumor to the internal environment in which cancer develops, survives and responds to treatment.

The book explores the influence of metabolism, inflammation, immune function, nutritional status, hormones, environmental exposures and emotional stress on the cancer journey.

DeStefano’s central philosophy, “Terrain First, Disease Second,” also guides her work at Root Causes. The Fort Myers practice combines advanced diagnostic testing with personalized metabolic, nutritional and integrative strategies designed to support patients before, during and after conventional cancer treatment.

Written for patients, families and practitioners, Biohacking Cancer translates complex cancer biology into a clear and practical framework. The book encourages patients to understand their individual biology, ask better questions and become informed participants in their care.

Cost: $5.99 pre order on Kindle. Root Causes is located at 12734 Kenwood Lane, Ste. 56, in Fort Myers. For more information about the practice or Biohacking Cancer, call 239-347-9234 or visit RtCausesMD.com.
