What lifestyle choices can reduce your risk before cancer develops? (Video Re- Release - Watch here: https://youtu.be/fAZ81saCTOA?si=3PipGywmSY5mOlxS)

Dr. Katie Deming sat down with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, professor of biology at Boston College and author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease.

Together, they explore how cancer cells depend on sugar and glutamine for fuel, why the mitochondria, not DNA mutations, may be at the heart of the disease, and what this understanding means for prevention and treatment.

Key Highlights:

  • Can dietary changes, fasting, and exercise support treatment once cancer is diagnosed? 
  • Why should patients and doctors pay attention to the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) to measure how the body is fueling itself?
  • What can you do today to reduce your risk of chronic illness?

Dr. Seyfried explains the Warburg Effect, the role of dysfunctional mitochondria in cancer growth, and why standard treatments may sometimes work against us by feeding cancer's energy needs.

Listen, learn the surprising story of how weight loss, not a new drug, led to dramatic tumor reduction in lab studies.
