In this episode, Cameron Mathison sits down with Dr. Taz to share his incredible and inspiring health journey. From his early challenges with a degenerative bone disease to a shocking kidney cancer diagnosis, Cameron's story underscores the importance of being an advocate for one's own health. He reveals how, for years, he was misled by traditional doctors who simply prescribed medications that only made things worse, until he found a path to healing through functional medicine. Cameron discusses his approach to integrating science and spirit, the pivotal role of a functional health coach in his recovery, and his newfound passion for helping others through his venture, Health360. Join us for a compelling story of resilience, the power of functional medicine, and the importance of holistic health practices.


Note: This conversation was filmed before Cameron and his family lost their house in the LA fires. Healing is a constant journey and we are sending Cameron and his family lots of love.

Tune into hol+ with Dr. Taz MD | The Future of Medicine is Holistic for a conversation that moves beyond conventional wellness talk. Hosted by Dr. Taz MD, this podcast operates from a simple yet profound premise: true health isn't found in a single pill or diagnosis, but in the intricate connection between our biology, our lifestyle, and our emotional world. Each episode builds on the idea that modern science and functional medicine don't have to exist in opposition to ancient healing wisdom or the importance of spiritual well-being. Instead, they can be woven together into a practical, personalized approach to caring for the whole person. You'll hear discussions that tackle how these interconnected systems directly influence not just physical symptoms, but also our mental clarity, capacity for joy, the quality of our relationships, and the health of our entire family unit. As a 2025 Webby honoree, this series has established itself as a pioneering voice, daring to explore where evidence-based research and a more expansive view of human potential meet. Recent episodes have featured leading voices in mental health, among other fields, providing actionable insights. If you're looking for a healthcare dialogue that respects the data while honoring the complexity of the human experience, this is the podcast for you.
