Our Philosophy
It is our philosophy that an optimal treatment plan for cancer should provide much more than a single treatment modality. To be successful an alternative, cancer treatments plan needs to be multi-modal and fight cancer by attacking the tumor directly, crippling a cancer cell's metabolism and energy production, cutting off blood supply to the tumor, stimulating the immune system, and inhibiting treatment resistance. Importantly, restoring health and healing vitality to the person fighting cancer is of utmost importance and must be a priority as well.
Integrative Medicines and Treatments
We use a variety of medications, highest-quality supplements, herbal medicines, IV treatments, physical medicine, and dietary plans when creating protocols for our patients. As stated previously, our physicians have the experience to safely incorporate our recommendations into a patient's current cancer treatment protocol. By doing so patients often experience better results, increased overall health, and less adverse medication reactions. We believe that as your doctor it is our duty to work with the other health care providers on your medical team. The best results are often achieved when using naturopathic, alternative and conventional cancer treatment approaches in an integrative fashion, rather than relying on solely one or the other.
Preventative Cancer Care
Our experience also provides us with the ability to offer guidance to patients about how to prevent cancer recurrence. This extends beyond providing our patients with specific lifestyle and nutritional changes, but also to the use of targeted therapies used to make the body an inhospitable place for cancer to survive. Today's technology allows for the identification of risk factors associated with increased cancer risk. It is important to identify and eliminate these cancer risk factors not only for the primary prevention of cancer, but also for the prevention of cancer recurrence.

Weight Loss Solutions with Semaglutide and Beyond
The Emergent Role of GLP-1 Agonists: Semaglutide and Beyond
By Dr. Lacey Courchaine, Chambers Clinic, Scottsdale
Amidst the ever-evolving world of metabolic health and weight loss, one recent standout is Semaglutide. Marketed under the trade name Ozempic, it isn’t just another medication – it is an emblem of promise and hope in the intricate world of endocrinology and metabolic medicine. From my vantage point at Chambers Clinic in beautiful Scottsdale, AZ and having spent years diving deep into hormones and weight loss, I believe that Semaglutide offers a beacon of light in our collective quest for holistic health.
At its core, Semaglutide is a GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide) agonist. For those less acquainted with the term, it mirrors the action of our innate hormone, GLP-1, which kicks in post-food consumption, helping regulate our blood sugar. Its trifecta of action - enhancing insulin secretion, reducing glucagon secretion, and slowing digestion - effectively keeps blood glucose in check. This is evident in the significant reduction of hemoglobin A1c levels, a critical barometer for diabetes risk.
In my practice, I have observed the direct correlation between balanced blood glucose and reduced systemic inflammation. This was further validated in clinical settings, showcasing a decline in inflammatory indices such as C-reactive protein and interleukin-6 among those with obesity.
While Semaglutide’s acclaim largely circles its weight loss potential (a remarkable 14.9% body weight reduction over a span of 68 weeks in one major study), its prowess isn’t limited to shedding pounds:
Liver Health: With rising incidents of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Semaglutide’s ability to minimize lipid synthesis is a welcome respite. Clinical trials showed pronounced liver fat reduction and heightened liver functionality.
Heart Health: In a world where cardiovascular ailments dominate, Semaglutide offers solace. Studies encompassing hypertensive individuals highlighted its efficacy in modulating blood pressure and refining cholesterol markers.
Brain Health: Our brains aren't exempt from Semaglutide's beneficial grasp. A groundbreaking study among Alzheimer's sufferers revealed not just disease progression deceleration but also cognitive enhancement.
Being in the medical field, I understand skepticism is often warranted. A common contention is the potential weight rebound post-Semaglutide discontinuation. However, such a scenario does not arise when lifestyle aspects like nutrition, exercise, and stress management, hormone balancing are addressed. At Chambers Clinic, our approach is comprehensive – gradual Semaglutide reduction combined with dietary, exercise, and well-being counsel.
For those intrigued by GLP-1 agonists but wary of potential side-effects, Slim Plus emerges as an herbal contender. Evidence suggests not only weight and waistline reduction benefits but also a positive impact on blood glucose and inflammation, particularly in type 2 diabetics.
In my years at Chambers Clinic, I've seen many evolutions in weight loss. Semaglutide undeniably stands out. Its holistic health benefits, spanning from our waistlines to our brains, set it apart. However, medication is just one facet. True health is a mosaic, encompassing lifestyle adjustments, mental well-being, and informed medical choices. Together, we journey towards a healthier tomorrow.

Testimonials
“After being diagnosed with prostate cancer, I decided to seek independent advice and possible treatment in Arizona. He helped me digest the mountains of information and advice that I’d received from well-meaning naturopaths, urologists, family physicians and friends, as well as the multitude of reading that I had done on the subject. I recommend that you contact him if you find yourself in this dilemma. To this day, we continue to rely on his advice.
*** P.S. I am now 12 months free of cancer!”
“I first met Dr. Psenka after I finished my 3rd round of chemo for metastatic breast cancer. Our initial interview lasted over and hour and Dr. Psenka acted as though he would stay there all day if that is what it took to get all my questions answered. He has an incredible grasp of the mechanics of my disease and was very informative on what immune support, nutrition. and treatment he would recommend. I wish I would have started with his regime at the onset of my breast cancer, as I feel the outcome would have been different. I am stable now and my last PET showed no activity in my bone lesions. The nutritional support has kept me as healthy as one could be having the chemo/radiation that I’ve had. I work full time and lead and active life. I see my oncologist regularly, as well as Dr. Psenka. I feel this gives me the best advantage I am going to have to survive. I would encourage anyone with an early diagnosis of cancer to consider alternative therapies along with their chemo. Dr. Psenka and his staff are a great team and a remarkable resource to help anyone through this difficult diagnosis.”
I appreciated that Dr. Psenka was unhurried and happy to spend as much time as was needed to discuss our concerns, answer as many questions as came up, and explain his philosophy and approach to treating YOU. He was approachable and listened… rather than just talked/lectured. I get the feeling that he’s always thinking head of the “what if’s” and “how to’s”. I know one thing for sure… I would want him on my team!” -from a friend of a patient who participated in the initial consultation”
