Re-Enliven

Conversations with integrative practitioners

Dana Smirin traveled around Europe, the UK, the USA, and South Africa interviewing integrative physicians, oncologists, psychiatrists, cancer-specializing chefs and nutritionists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and more, asking the same question: how do you re-enliven yourself after conventional cancer treatment? A growing library of the interviews is hosted here as more are edited. A special gratitude is offered to the University of California, San Francisco for supporting this initiative.
