Getting Energized with Acupressure & Diet - Dr. Suzanna M. Zick @ National Cancer Survivors Day 2017

Suzanna Zick is a Research Associate Professor in Family Medicine and a Research Associate Professor of Nutritional Sciences in the School of Public Health at the University of Michigan. Dr. Zick received her degree as a naturopathic physician from the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, OR and her MPH in Epidemiology from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Dr. Zick was a founding investigator of a P50 center grant focused on investigating integrative medicine and cardiovascular disease, which was funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) at the University of Michigan in 1998. She also was a founding member of the executive committee of the International Society for Complementary Medicine Research and was the Research Working Co-chair (2009-2012) for the Academic Consortium for Integrative Health and Medicine. She is currently the Immediate Past President for the Society for Integrative Oncology (SIO) and is part of a SIO multidisciplinary group that recently published Dr. Zick’s research interests include the effect of natural products for cancer prevention; the use of complementary therapies including whole food diets for control of cancer-related symptoms on fatigue, sleep disturbance and quality of life during cancer survivorship. Her work has mainly focused on pharmacokinetic and interventional clinical trials. Along with examining the effect of ginger root as a potential cancer prevention agent for colorectal cancer, she has also examined the impact of ginger for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting, and investigated if an herbal blend “Essiac” improves quality of life in a cohort of Canadian breast cancer survivors. More recently, she has been examining the effect of integrative self-help techniques, self-administered acupressure and a whole food diet for improving fatigue and sleep disruption in breast cancer survivors. She has also been part of a team examining the interrelationship between fatigue, inflammatory cytokines and brain neurochemistry as well as working to develop a mobile application and social media resources to help implement self-acupressure and whole food diet into ‘real world’ clinical and community settings. Along with her research activities Dr. Zick helps to teach the Integrative Family Medicine Fellows and Integrative Faculty Scholars. She has just received a NCI education grant to teach oncology providers evidence-based integrative oncology allowing them to become transformative leaders for integrative oncology within their institutions and clinics.
