Understanding IPT

Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is an integrative medical approach that uses carefully timed, low-dose insulin to temporarily influence cellular uptake pathways during treatment.
The goal of IPT protocols is to support targeted delivery of adjunctive therapies while carefully monitoring metabolic response and maintaining patient safety through individualized dosing and supervision.
Key areas considered during IPT care may include:
Metabolic function
Insulin response and glucose regulation
Cellular uptake pathways
Immune system balance
Inflammatory signaling
Detoxification pathways
Nutrient status
Overall physiologic resilience

Our Approach to Integrative Cancer Support

Indigo’s cancer support services use integrative medicine to address the broader physiologic factors that can influence cancer progression, treatment tolerance, and overall resilience — focusing on the whole person, not just the diagnosis.

We Evaluate:

  • Tumor biology and circulating tumor markers
  • Immune system function and inflammatory patterns
  • Metabolic and mitochondrial health
  • Detoxification capacity and toxic burden
  • Gut microbiome balance and nutrient absorption
  • Hormonal and endocrine health
  • Environmental stressors and physiologic resilience
How It Works

Get Started with Your Personalized Cancer Support Plan

01

Advanced Diagnostics & Comprehensive Evaluation

We use functional and specialty labs to identify:

  • Circulating tumor cell and tumor marker testing (when appropriate)
  • Immune system function and inflammatory markers
  • Metabolic and mitochondrial health
  • Detoxification capacity and toxic burden
  • Hormonal and endocrine balance
  • Toxic load
  • Nutrient status and metabolic needs

This allows us to build a thoughtful, individualized care strategy rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

02

Personalized, Integrative Treatment Plans

Your protocol may include:

  • Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) when appropriate
  • Targeted nutritional and metabolic support
  • IV nutrient therapy
  • Immune-supportive therapies
  • Gut health and microbiome support
  • Detoxification and metabolic support
  • Hormonal balancing
  • Anti-inflammatory nutrition strategies

Each plan is individualized based on diagnosis, medical history, and the patient’s overall health status.

03

Metabolic, Immune & Cellular Support

Cancer and cancer-related therapies can place significant stress on the immune system, metabolic pathways, and cellular energy production. Our integrative approach focuses on strengthening the body’s physiologic resilience through:

  • Immune-supportive therapies
  • Anti-inflammatory support
  • Mitochondrial and cellular energy support
  • Liver and detoxification pathway support
  • Nutritional and metabolic support
  • Nervous system regulation strategies

These supportive therapies are designed to help maintain physiologic balance and overall resilience while undergoing cancer treatment.

04

Ongoing Monitoring & Personalized Care

Cancer care often requires ongoing monitoring and thoughtful adjustments. Our providers work closely with patients to evaluate progress and adapt treatment strategies as needed. This may include:

  • Monitoring biomarkers and clinical response
  • Adjusting therapies based on patient tolerance and response
  • Supporting recovery and overall health
  • Lowering inflammation
  • Optimizing metabolic and immune function

Our goal is to provide thoughtful, individualized care focused on supporting long-term health and physiologic stability.

Real People. Real Healing

D.W.
"Cancer treatment is intense, and I wanted more than just managing side effects — I wanted to support my body through it. Working with Indigo gave me structure, clarity, and a plan to strengthen my immune system, energy, and overall resilience. I felt more stable, more informed, and more in control throughout the process. Having integrative support alongside my oncology team made all the difference."
P.D.
"I felt supported, not just medically, but as a whole person. I’m now cancer-free and still continue care for maintenance. I truly believe the integrative support helped me stay resilient through it all and I couldn't be more thankful. Thank you, Snejana and the entire Indigo team!"
C.R.
"I had a very aggressive cancer diagnosis and it was overwhelming. Indigo helped me feel stronger going through it. My recovery between treatments was much smoother than I anticipated, I didn’t feel as depleted as many people had warned me I would. I’m now in remission and continue to see both my oncology team and Indigo. It feels good knowing I’m doing everything I can to support my body."

Is Indigo Right for You?

If you’ve been searching for thoughtful guidance and a treatment approach that looks beyond a single intervention, you’re in the right place. Our integrative cancer support services are designed for patients who want a deeper, personalized approach to supporting their health during cancer care. We may be a good fit if you:

  • Are exploring integrative therapies such as IPT - and want guidance from experienced providers who understand how to carefully evaluate and personalize treatment options.
  • Want a more comprehensive evaluation of your health - including metabolic function, immune health, detoxification pathways, and overall physiologic resilience.
  • Are seeking additional support during cancer care - and want a team that considers the full picture of your health.
  • Feel your care has been fragmented – and would benefit from a coordinated, whole-person approach.
  • Value personalized care – where treatment plans are tailored to your medical history, laboratory findings, and individual goals.
  • Want a thoughtful long-term strategy – focused on supporting your body’s resilience and overall health.

Commonly Asked Questions

Your Questions Answered

If you’re exploring Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) or integrative cancer support, you likely have questions about how this approach works, what to expect, and whether it may be appropriate for your situation. We’ve answered some of the most common questions here.

  • What is IPT therapy?

    Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is a supportive oncology approach that uses carefully timed, low-dose insulin alongside chemotherapy or other adjunctive agents. The intent is to support targeted cellular uptake while limiting overall systemic exposure.

    IPT is offered as supportive, adjunctive care and is not intended to replace standard oncology treatment.

  • How does IPT work?

    IPT utilizes insulin’s role in cellular signaling to temporarily increase cell membrane permeability. This may allow adjunctive agents to be used at lower doses while supporting targeted cellular uptake.

    All protocols are individualized and require precise timing, dosing, and monitoring.

  • Who may be a candidate for IPT therapy?

    IPT may be considered for select patients based on factors such as:
    - Cancer type and current treatment plan
    - Metabolic and insulin response markers
    - Overall clinical stability
    - Coordination with, and approval from, the oncology team

    Not all patients are appropriate candidates. Careful screening and laboratory review are required.

  • Is IPT therapy safe?

    When thoughtfully selected and properly administered, IPT can be safe. Safety is guided by:
    - Careful patient selection
    - Lab-guided dosing
    - Close glucose monitoring
    - Appropriate timing relative to oncology treatment

    We proceed only when clear safety parameters are met.

  • What are the potential benefits of IPT therapy?

    As an adjunctive approach, IPT may help support:
    - Treatment tolerance
    - Reduced systemic exposure to adjunctive agents
    - Metabolic efficiency during treatment

    Individual responses vary. Progress is monitored clinically and biochemically.

  • Are there risks or side effects?

    Potential risks primarily relate to insulin use, including changes in blood sugar levels. For this reason, IPT requires close monitoring before, during, and after treatment. All potential risks are reviewed in detail prior to initiation.

  • How is IPT therapy personalized?

    IPT protocols are tailored based on:
    - Medical history
    - Current cancer treatment
    - Laboratory findings
    - Metabolic markers
    - Circulating tumor cells
    - Advanced testing that reveals chemotherapeutic and non-chemotherapeutic agents that are specific to your type of cancer
    - Individual tolerance and goals

    Protocols are adjusted over time based on response and ongoing safety monitoring.
