In Episode 4, Matt Halpert speaks with Adi Hertz, the co-founder of Heal Navigator — a global platform helping cancer patients explore and access vetted integrative and alternative treatments.
Born out of Adi’s personal journey navigating her mother’s stage 4 diagnosis, Heal Navigator now bridges a crucial gap between patients and trusted clinics around the world. In this conversation, Adi shares the story behind the platform, how they vet clinics, and why today’s patients are more empowered than ever to advocate for options beyond the standard of care.
