My dad has had health issues most of my life. I have seen how people in the health industry have impacted his experiences. Both negatively and positively.
I want to be able to create a good experience for those who need a little positivity in a rather difficult situation.
I love that I have the opportunity to help guide people with whatever they need. And being able to do it with kindness, care, and positivity is something I am passionate about.

Edward grew up in urban Southern California and has recently relocated to the green and beautiful Pacific Northwest. As a jack of all trades and a lover of cats, Edward Caplan’s primary responsibility as the Provider Education Specialist is to ensure every provider and patient has a positive and personalized customer onboarding experience.
Edward has 2 cats, Madison and Matza, and regards them as his children. In his spare time, Edward volunteers his time at local animal shelters and fosters cats whenever possible. As a film buff and lover of sports, he spends most of his time at home enjoying his favorite shows and movies or is out rooting on the home team at the nearest sporting venue.
Edward's motto to live by is, “Everything happens for a reason.”
Control what you can.
Accept what you can’t.
I love the privacy and peace that living in a small town affords.
Cats! Cats! Cats! I am also a film buff.
While my personal story doesn’t include cancer, I do understand the confusion and worry that negative medical diagnoses can have on patients and their families. My mother, after having several heart attacks, had to have a heart transplant in order to save her life. I remember speaking with specialists and doctors who were trying their best to tell me what was happening and what needed to occur but I didn’t understand and felt very much powerless and in the dark.
When I found out that RGCC’s goal is to provide personalized and empathetic care for doctors and patients alike, I immediately knew this was a company I needed to be a part of. At the end of the day, I want to ensure that anyone working with RGCC wil feel comfortable, empowered, and are able to get all their questions answered in a professional, yet personable and caring manner.
I have competed at the highest level of competition in several strategy card games including Magic the Gathering, Hearthstone, and Pokemon alike.

In 2004, genetics pioneer Dr. Ioannis Papasotiriou founded RGCC with a steadfast commitment to personalized cancer care. Driven by his unwavering belief in the power of a patient's genes, Dr. Papasotiriou has passionately refused to access external funding that could compromise his vision and commitment to a science-driven cancer solution.

“If you bring in investors, they want profitability - as quickly as possible - they don’t care about the outcome.
For us, our interest is what we could do better than the protocols available in the clinical practice, so we can create better treatments, no matter whether we use current drugs or develop new treatments.
We reinvest 85% of our income directly into further research which we wouldn’t be able to do if we brought in external investors.”
- Dr. Ioannis Papasotiriou

Dr. Terri Beim is the founding member of our North America-based Clinical Support Team. Starting her RGCC career as an RGCC registered provider in 2012 and establishing the first clinical support team with the original branch office, RGCC USA, in 2016. She was excited to transition with the New North America branch team.
Dr. Terri brings a world of knowledge and practical experience to her role. She has been in clinical practice for over 22 years and has extensive training and experience in Integrative Cancer Care (including IPT and integrative Oncology under various IRBs).

Dr. Miven Donato brings a passion and wide-reaching educational background to RGCC’s North America based Clinical Support Team. Divinely guided to be a “doctor of the future” specializing in a whole person approach to care, coupled with his educational and clinical experience in Medical Technology (MT), Clinical Laboratory Science, Human Physical Performance, Physical Therapy (DPT), structural integrity and nutritional therapy, Chiropractic (DC), and specializing in dietary/nutritional therapy for cancer care as a Certified Gerson Practitioner and Trainer, makes him an exceptional asset to the RGCC NA team. His clinical background is rivaled only by his clinical experience working with patients in over 200 countries around the world.
Joining the RGCC practitioner community in 2018, Dr. Miven quickly became one of RGCC’s VIP practitioners interpreting several hundred tests along with creating personalized protocols with successful outcomes for his patients. His personal success is coupled with his enthusiasm for helping other colleagues learn the RGCC system to bring successful treatment outcomes for their patients too.
He joined the North America Clinical Advisory team in January 2022 and shares his extensive knowledge with new practitioners as a trainer in RGCC College and consultation support for the active provider community.
He is excited about the future of cancer care with RGCC as it continues to evolve in science and technology. He is eager to share his wisdom and proficiency with other practitioners wanting to bring RGCC testing into their practice.
I have been working as a holistic integrative nutritional oncology consultant since 2012 (10+ years). I am also a clinical instructor for the Gerson Institute since 2012. From 2001 to 2013, I was working in the field of orthopedic chiropractic and orthopedic physical therapy, and from 1991 to 2001 in the field of orthopedic physical therapy (without chiropractic). From 1987 to 1992, I worked as a clinical laboratory technologist in a community hospital laboratory.
Holistic integrative nutritional oncology is the field I gravitated to because it addresses the entire person’s oncology care. I have always been a natural holistic health advocate. Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the US and the challenge in bringing a person from a diseased state to a healthy state led me to this field. Chiropractic consists of both structural body health and nutritional/mental health. I felt more mentally challenged and found it very rewarding as I focused more of my work in nutritional/mental health. So it naturally progressed and I ended up enjoying my work in oncology care. In early 2018, I learned about RGCC testing and came onboard to become a RGCC practitioner. Since then I have done several thousand testing for my clients.
Being both a clinician and instructor (for both RGCC International and Gerson Institute), I love how the latest science in molecular oncology, traditional oncology, holistic nutritional oncology all blend together to encompass a comprehensive oncology service that goes beyond traditional ideology.
Each person’s cancer condition is as unique as a fingerprint. So, each person should receive a unique, personalized cancer care.
I am health enthusiast.
Running, weight lifting, nature hikes, traveling, reading about technology breakthroughs and the latest computer science.
I was born in a small town, Cagayan de oro, Philippines, but spent most of my growing up years in Singapore before going abroad to the US to start my college education in 1982.
I live in Tennessee. Married. We have a daughter who is a university student.
It is a central hub where we are close to both sides of our family.

All the Lakes, Rivers and year-round golf. I love being outdoors in warm weather and sunshine which we have a lot of here in Fresno.
I’m passionate about my family and friends and being able to lend a hand when needed or you can say traveling and golf if that’s too mushy!
I have always loved science and the medical field and when cancer personally touched my life it was my mission to try and gain knowledge to better serve the greater cause.
I’m quite the handyman. I’ve built several homes in my life of course with help but built them from foundation to ceiling. I also really like to skydive and I’m left handed.

Steven comes to RGCC bringing with him over 15 years of business development experience, having worked both with large corporations and start-ups.
Steven’s passion for oncology comes from having prior working experience in the field, but more so from his own personal cancer experience. Combining his sales acumen with his own cancer journey gives him an advantage, as he has a clear understanding of working with both physicians and having a patient's point of view. He wants to use this platform to help patients and providers have a better understanding of disease states and personalized treatment options. Working within this role will give him that opportunity.

I sort of just fell into the oncology space, but after having been diagnosed with cancer myself, it’s now a passion to continue working in the oncology space.
I am able to give back to patients and caregivers alike providing testing solutions that can provide valuable insights to treatment decisions and peace of mind around their care.

Mindy is passionate about the idea that knowledge is power and fear can immobilize us from making good decisions. Her passion comes from her own healing journey 13 years ago when she lost an ovary to a serous borderline tumor and began her patient relationship with RGCC.
Through that experience, she has become a strong advocate for people with health challenges and encourages them to face them head-on and to empower themselves with knowledge, so they can make the best decisions for themselves on their own healing journeys.
She brings her experience and expertise from her 14 years as a Functional Medicine Nutritional Consultant, working with doctors wanting to use an integrative approach.
Her wealth of knowledge comes from her experience of over 300 hours of Naturopathic training at Therapy Alternatives (in Bedford, Texas). This includes naturopathic, homeopathic, and biochemical approaches to healing.
Mindy is excited to be part of the RGCC team and RGCC community applying her wisdom to educate and guide more practitioners to the world of personalized medicine.
Therapy alternatives- Bedford, Texas. My training was as a naturopathic practitioner.
I went to school for massage therapy. I enjoyed what I learned but it was not the right fit for me.
I worked as a Functional Medicine Consultant for a nutritional company for 14 years.
When I was 17 years old, I was diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. I purchased a book on juicing and another one on herbs and was able to get better on my own... That empowered me, and I wanted to learn more. That was the beginning of my natural medicine journey.
I don’t consider myself to be a salesperson but a teacher - I love helping people in any way I can.
Knowledge is power, so no matter the diagnosis, get as much information as you can and then be your own advocate.
I am number 6 out of 7 siblings.
I do volunteer work, and I love music.

After 25 years spearheading a unique healing practice specializing in Chiropractic, Functional Medicine, and Emotional Healing, Dr. Lauren Cohen, DC shifted her knowledge and gifts into Cancer Patient Advocacy following the stage 4 cancer diagnosis of both her mother and sister.
Recognizing the complexity of navigating the cancer world, Dr. Lauren became the “Doctor in the family” for those who didn’t have one. She helped them translate the “doctor” speak and understand the myriad of treatment options so they could make better choices and select the healing path that was best suited for them.
Her unique combination as a physician, caregiver, and patient advocate makes her the perfect fit to lead RGCC International’s new US-based branch office RGCC North America. She is focused on bringing a culture of personalization and partnership to a world of cancer care that Is often cold and disconnected.
Dr. Lauren is on a mission to change the cancer care paradigm, replacing fear and uncertainty with hope and possibility.
23 years Chiropractic, Functional Endocrinology, and Emotional Healing + 2 years with RGCC
After 20+ years in clinical practice, I made the shift to a coaching model focusing on Personal Empowerment. Then both my mother and sister were diagnosed with stage 4 cancers and I was thrown into the cancer world.
None of my background and training was in cancer care. I needed to learn so I got my Google PhD like every other cancer patient and caregiver. Then people started to reach out to me for guidance. Navigating the cancer world is challenging and overwhelming, even for me with the healthcare background I have.
I couldn’t understand how patients were doing this without someone like me. So I became the “Doctor in the family” for those that didn’t have one. That is how my cancer patient advocacy journey began. I wasn’t their treating doctor, I just helped them sort through the information and translated the “doctor speak” so they could better understand their options to make better care decisions for themselves.
In my own research, I found RGCC and had the testing done for my family. I reached out as an advocate to learn more about how to refer patients to them and ended up working for RGCC instead.
Being in service is not something I do, it is part of who I am. Being part of a greater vision and mission, being part of something bigger than myself that can change the cancer care paradigm and ultimately the lives of millions of people is both humbling and inspiring.
Being able to bring my experience as both a clinician and patient advocate to this position, allows me to help improve the system so the physicians are better able to bring cutting edge science to their patients to achieve better outcomes, and open access to patients to receive truly personalized care.
You are not alone. We are here and we hear you, and we are here to help.
Guessing my age is always fun at parties. I’m older than I look. Lol!
Born and raised in NY, but I don’t have an accent.
I recently moved to Delray Beach, FL to be closer to family and support my parents who are getting older and needing some assistance.
Not currently but I have always had dogs and may be adopting a senior dog when friends retire to Equador. Copper is 13 and too frail to make the trip. I want to make sure he lives out his final days in comfort and with love.

I think everyone has a “cancer story”. And I have a few…. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was a child. She was fortunate enough to catch it early, but I remember feeling so scared for her.
Three of my grandparents have battled cancer as well (and 2 of them lost their lives to it), and most recently my father in law battled Lymphoma.
Seeing those you love most in life battle such an awful disease makes you want to get involved - in any way possible. When the opportunity to join the team at RGCC presented itself, it was a no-brainer for me.
I truly believe in the company’s mission and couldn’t be more proud to be part of the team.
I’m a runner! I run Half Marathons in my “free” time.

Meet Lisa, our Accounting Manager. Lisa’s life was touched by cancer with a diagnosis in her own family. Her research to find treatment options beyond the “gold standard” one-size-fits-all model, led her to the discovery of personalized cancer care. This new awareness turned into a desire to share her knowledge with others on the same journey.
She is passionate about providing excellent customer service and ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of each process to make sure each patient and provider feels served and supported.
I live outside of a small town. I love the open fields and the amazing sunsets. Our little town has a fishing pond, my boys and I like to spend our time when we can.
I am passionate about learning how amazing our bodies are at healing themselves when given the right environment.
I was in construction for 13 years prior and after losing someone very close to me due to cancer and seeing them in their cancer journey along with so many others we meet along the way I could not accept that the only option for people was what we were told was the “gold standard”. My focus really shifted and I had became enthralled with a different approach to healing and soaking in all the information I could with the hopes of being able to pass my knowledge along to others for them to be better informed for their own health needs. When I came across the opportunity to work for RGCC I could not pass it up. It felt like everything I had been doing to gain knowledge eventually lead me to them. What they offer is incredible and something that really can make a difference in someone’s life. To be apart of that is truly a blessing.
