Our approach brings together Metabolic Terrain Based Cancer Support and Integrative Oncology to offer the best combination for your individual needs. Integrative oncology aims to optimize patients’ quality of life, reduce side effects, and improve clinical outcomes. To create individualized plan or road map for any of the 3 states of care including preventative state, direct treatment state in process or maintenance of post treatment is our goal with you.
- Focuses on the internal terrain and metabolism of your body as well as how your body interacts with the environment around it.
- Understanding every patient’s Terrain, Environment and bio-individuality is critical to determining a patient’s treatment options.
- Our methodology is based on testing and assessing each patient to address their specific root cause health issues that led to their cancer diagnosis.
- We are focused on Evidence-based practices from different traditions to support patients’ health and well-being.
- We consider Genetics, Epigenetics and Nutrigenomics as part of the body’s terrain as well as mitochondrial function.
- We create a highly individualized and thorough Plan of Health that considers your details and options including conventional and Integrative Care.
We can be involved at any stage of your Cancer journey. Some patients have had or are engaged in standard treatments like Chemotherapy, Radiation or Surgery, while others, are interested in a purely holistic and natural approach to Cancer Support. Our doctors will discuss options and help you understand the details so you can make the best decision moving forward. We offer a significant number of holistic options that may assist your body as you move through your journey.

KIMBERLY R. WILLIFORD, MS, RD/LD, NMD
Kimberly Williford, MS,RD,LD,NMD is a native Texan, Licensed Naturopathic Doctor and Registered Dietitian. She has dedicated her entire career to studying and helping patients to heal and balance metabolic dysfunction to help chronically ill patients while optimizing vitality and performance.
She earned her undergraduate degree from The University of Texas at Austin. She earned her Master’s degree in Nutritional Science, Magna Cum Laude, from Texas Tech University and completed internship at Texas Tech Health Science Center in Lubbock, Texas. After graduate school her focus was on children born with metabolic disorders later becoming an intensive care dietitian. She also worked extensively with the geriatric population both in the hospital and extended care facilities.
As a desire to treat the cause of disease rather than symptoms she furthered her education by attending medical school at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, one of only four accredited, four-year naturopathic medical schools in the United States where she earned her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine degree (NMD). She completed a two year general and functional medicine residence, which focused on metabolic testing in Atlanta, Georgia. She served as a consultant in functional test interpretation for Metametrix/Genova laboratories reviewing test results with doctors from all over the country.
She has completed Board Certification fellowship training in anti-aging and restorative medicine with the American Academy of Anti-Aging and Rejuvenation Medicine. She studied environmental medicine with Dr. Bill Rea, founder of Environmental Health Center Dallas, and Dr. Walter Crinnion, an expert in environmental medicine for over thirty years. An unexpected cancer diagnosis and surgical menopause led to an increased passion in understanding hormones and optimizing the immune function. This was a natural fit for completing Master Class training in the Metabolic Approach to Cancer with Dr. Nasha Winters ND, FABNO and author of The Metabolic Approach to Cancer.
Dr. Williford’s practice focuses on integrative functional wellness to help environmental toxicity, cancer support, metabolic dysfunction, hormone imbalance, longevity/optimal aging, cognitive decline and chronic disease. Treatment is individual as each person is unique rather than being a protocol. Focus is on the person as a whole rather than a diagnosis. She has been working with patients, both in and out of the hospital for over 20 years to help them achieve optimal health.
The Team at SIE Medical gave me a chance to support my body while having Chemotherapy and Radiation to lessen side effects and add other modalities to the equation to help my body win against Cancer. Dr. Williford has a thorough understanding of how your body works. She helped me heal and change my life. Thank You!– S.I.E.Medical Patient
