For 26 years, Hope4Cancer has been asking the deeper questions, looking beyond what is happening on the surface to better understand the whole person. Rooted is the culmination of that journey: an intimate, two-day gathering created to bring patients, families, physicians, practitioners, and those pursuing greater wellness together for deeper learning, meaningful conversation, and genuine connection. It is a place to ask the questions that rarely fit inside a traditional medical appointment and explore the foundations of whole-person health, healing, and resilience.
Led by Dr. Tony and Marcy Jimenez, alongside Hope4Cancer physicians and practitioners, wellness experts and guest speakers, patients, and families, Rooted brings 26 years of experience out of the treatment center and into the room. Together, we’ll share what we’ve learned, explore emerging ideas in integrative oncology and wellness, and create the kind of relationships that continue long after the gathering ends. This isn’t simply a conference. It’s 26 years of knowledge, community, and purpose coming together in one extraordinary experience.
You’ve been to conferences before.
The fluorescent room. The predictable slides. The forced networking. You leave with a tote bag, a few new contacts, and plenty of inspiration — only to watch it slowly fade once you’re home. And before long, you feel exactly as you did before you arrived.
Alone.
Rooted was created to be different.
To close the gap between information and transformation. Between meeting someone and truly knowing them. Between being inspired for a weekend and being supported long after you leave.
Over two thoughtfully curated days, Dr. Tony will be joined by Hope4Cancer physicians and practitioners, wellness experts, guest speakers, patients, and families for an experience centered around learning, access, and conversation.
Because when it comes to our health, the most important questions often live beneath the surface.
We’re going there together.
For more than 25 years, Hope4Cancer has cared for patients from more than 100 countries across two physician-led treatment centers in Mexico. Founded by Antonio “Dr. Tony” Jimenez, M.D., N.D., Hope4Cancer was built on a belief that continues to shape its work today: to understand cancer more fully, we must look beyond the tumor and consider the whole person.
That philosophy is expressed through the 7 Key Principles of Cancer Therapy®, a framework refined through decades of clinical practice and designed to address the interconnected factors that influence health, resilience, and healing.
At Rooted, these principles move beyond the treatment room. You’ll hear directly from physicians, practitioners, and experts as they explore the science, thinking, and clinical experience behind each one.
Therapeutic approaches designed to address cancer while considering the health of surrounding tissues and the whole person.
Supporting and strengthening the body’s natural immune response.
Recognizing nutrition as an integral part of whole-person care, not an afterthought.
Supporting the body’s natural pathways for processing and eliminating unwanted substances.
Exploring the relationship between oxygen, the cellular environment, and overall health.
Looking beyond the gut to understand the far-reaching relationship between the microbiome, immune function, and whole-body health.
Making space for the emotional and spiritual dimensions of healing—the parts of the human experience that medicine can too easily leave outside the treatment room.
At Rooted, these principles won’t simply be presented. They’ll be explored, questioned, demonstrated, and discussed openly.
Because going deeper begins with understanding the ground beneath us.
ROOTED is being created with patients in mind. The schedule will include opportunities to rest, seating flexibility, and quiet spaces throughout the experience.
Because everyone’s circumstances are different, we encourage you to speak with your medical team before traveling. If you would like to better understand the physical demands of the weekend before registering, our team would be happy to personally walk you through the schedule.
Absolutely.
ROOTED is for patients, caregivers, family members, practitioners, wellness-minded individuals, and anyone who wants to better understand the principles that support whole-person health.
You don’t need a diagnosis to want to understand your health more deeply.
Yes.
ROOTED is designed to welcome thoughtful questions and differing perspectives. You do not need to arrive agreeing with every approach discussed.
Come curious.
The purpose is to learn, exchange ideas, ask meaningful questions, and expand the conversation around what comprehensive care can look like.
No.
ROOTED is first and foremost an educational and community experience.
Hope4Cancer physicians and practitioners will share knowledge gained through decades of working in integrative oncology, but the purpose of the gathering is not to sell treatment from the stage.
If you would like to learn more about Hope4Cancer during your time with us, our team will be available to answer questions privately.
Faith and spiritual well-being are meaningful parts of Hope4Cancer’s whole-person philosophy and will naturally be present in the ROOTED experience.
But faith is an invitation, never a requirement.
No guest will be expected to share a particular belief or profess anything. Wherever you are in your own journey, come as you are.
Yes, prices will increase as we get closer to the event. Please reserve your tickets and your room as soon as possible. Space is limited.
We understand that circumstances can change unexpectedly, particularly for patients and families navigating health concerns.
Because your seat, meals, materials, and experience are prepared in advance, registration is non-refundable. However, your registration is fully transferable.
Hear directly from patients as they share their personal experiences with a diagnosis and their journeys at Hope4Cancer.
Every patient featured has given written consent to share their story. Hope4Cancer is a licensed medical facility located outside the United States; its therapies are not approved by the FDA. Individual results vary, and no outcome is implied or guaranteed.
