FOR PEOPLE FACING CANCER β AND THOSE HELPING THEM
Doctors who make sense of it with you.
Two board-certified physicians alongside your oncology team β translating what you have been told, preparing you for what comes next, and answering the questions that arrive in between.
Dr Matthew Lederman and Dr Alona Pulde are New York Times bestselling authors, featured in Forks Over Knives.
BOOK A CALLSound familiar?
βMy oncologist appointments are 15 minutes β and I leave with more questions than I came in with.β
βGoogle is terrifying. Friends mean well. None of it actually helps.β
βNo one has talked to me about nutrition, sleep, stress, or what I can actually do.β
βI'm a capable person, but I can't think straight about my own body right now.β
Your oncologist has fifteen minutes. We have as long as it takes.
The people below said all of this too.
Real patients. In their own words.
Chef AJ is a plant-based chef and bestselling author of Unprocessed, host of Chef AJ Live, and a 2018 inductee into the Vegetarian Hall of Fame. She came to Dr. Lederman during her own cancer journey.
βDr. Lederman created a space where I felt safe, heard, and understood. Through his guidance, I've learned how to understand my emotions and begin to heal. I finally feel like I'm on the right path.β
β David S.
βDr. Pulde helped me achieve milestones of recovery that had eluded me for years. She approaches healing as a mind-body-life-world process and listened deeper than any doctor I've ever worked with.β

What changes when someone actually talks to you
You understand your own situation
Scans, options, trade-offs, second opinions β explained in language that makes sense, for as long as it takes to make sense. You go into your next appointment knowing what to ask.
You are not left alone between visits
Direct access to your physicians when something changes, a result lands, or a question arrives at 2am. We speak with your oncology team so you are not the one carrying messages between doctors.
The rest of it gets attention too
Sleep, stress, nutrition, pain, and the difficult conversations with the people you love. The parts of living with cancer that a fifteen-minute appointment never reaches.
What you are actually signing up for
An ongoing relationship with a physician team β not a one-off second opinion. Cancer care keeps changing as treatment changes, and a single appointment cannot follow you through that. This is a multi-month commitment, on both sides.
What is included
- A full review of your medical records and history
- Video visits with your physician team
- Direct messaging between visits β for the result that lands on a Friday night, or the question you only thought of afterwards
- Coordination with your oncology team, so you are not the one carrying messages between doctors
- The whole-person side: sleep, nutrition, stress, pain, and the conversations with people you love
What it is not
- It does not replace your oncologist. They treat the cancer; we help you get the most from everything they are doing.
- It is not billed through insurance. That is precisely what makes this much physician time and access possible.
- It is not a quick consultation. If you want a single second opinion and nothing more, this is not the right fit β and we will tell you so.
The physicians who will know your name
Matthew Lederman, MD
Board-certified Internal Medicine
Your medical translator and advocate: record reviews, options explained plainly, and a physician who knows your case as things change. He is also a certified trainer in Nonviolent Communication β one of very few physicians in the country β which is to say he is trained in the conversations medicine usually rushes.
Alona Pulde, MD
Family Medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine
Your care quarterback: nutrition, sleep, stress, hormones and metabolic health β the daily ground your treatment is standing on, and the part most often left to you to work out alone.
We take a limited number of new patients each month.
This only works if we genuinely have time for you, so we cap how many people we take on. If you are reading this, we are still booking β though a place this month is not guaranteed.
BOOK A CALLBook a call
A 30-minute conversation with our care team β not a salesperson β about where you are, what you are facing, and whether this is the right fit. If it is, we will walk you through exactly how it works and what it costs.
No cost, no obligation, and nothing you need to prepare. This is for you if you or someone you love has had a cancer diagnosis β newly diagnosed, in treatment, after treatment, or focused on preventing recurrence. Care happens over secure video visits and direct messaging, wherever you live.
Your details stay confidential and are seen only by the care team. Not ready to book? Open the chat in the corner and ask us anything β a real person replies.
