A cancer diagnosis is life changing. Navigating treatment, side effects, and recovery can feel overwhelming.
At Full Circle Integrative Health, we provide integrative cancer care in Burnaby, supporting patients through every stage of their journey, from prevention and diagnosis to treatment, recovery, and long term survivorship.
Our approach is evidence informed, highly individualized, and designed to support both quality of life and long term health outcomes.
Experienced Integrative Oncology Care
Dr. Erin Rurak, ND is a Fellow of the American Board of Naturopathic Oncology (FABNO), a designation held by a limited number of naturopathic physicians with advanced training in integrative oncology.
With over 12 years in clinical practice, Dr. Rurak works closely with patients to provide thoughtful, individualized care alongside conventional oncology treatment.

This reflects our commitment to clinical excellence, mentorship, and advancing the field of integrative oncology.
An Individualized Approach to Cancer Care
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to cancer.
Each treatment plan is developed based on your diagnosis, current therapies, goals, and personal values. We work collaboratively with your oncology team to ensure care is safe, coordinated, and aligned with your treatment plan.
We support patients with:
-Cancer prevention and risk reduction
-Genetic and biomarker-based assessment
-New diagnoses and treatment decision support
-Adjunctive care during chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery
-Post-treatment recovery and survivorship care
-Secondary cancer prevention
Supporting You During Treatment
Cancer treatments can be life-saving, but they often come with significant side effects. We provide supportive care aimed at:
-Reducing treatment-related side effects such as fatigue, nausea, and neuropathy
-Supporting immune function and resilience
-Maintaining energy, strength, and quality of life
Support may include:
-Individualized nutrition and lifestyle strategies
-Targeted supplementation
-IV hydration therapy to support symptoms such as nausea and fatigue
-Targeted IV therapies such as high-dose vitamin C when appropriate
-Mistletoe therapy for immune support
Our goal is to help you move through treatment with as much support and stability as possible.

Recovery, Survivorship & Secondary Prevention
Cancer care does not end when treatment is complete.
We work closely with patients to:
-Restore energy, metabolism, and overall health
-Address lingering side effects of treatment
-Rebuild strength and resilience
-Reduce the risk of recurrence through targeted prevention strategies
This phase often includes deeper work in:
-Nutrition and metabolic health
-Lifestyle optimization
-Ongoing lab monitoring and support
Advanced Testing & Individualized Care
We utilize a range of testing options to better understand your health and guide care, which may include:
-Genetic and biomarker testing
-Circulating tumour cell testing (when appropriate)
-Functional and conventional lab testing
This allows for a more personalized and targeted approach to care, supporting better clinical decision-making.
A Collaborative, Patient Centered Approach
We believe that cancer care should align with your values, preferences, and goals.
Every treatment plan is built collaboratively, with a focus on:
-Clear communication and education
-Evidence informed decision making
-Respecting your individual choices
You will be supported in understanding your options and making informed decisions throughout your care.
