Is cancer really a genetic disease — or a metabolic one? 🧬
In this episode, Dr. Thomas Seyfried, professor of biology at Boston College and author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, breaks down why glucose and glutamine fuel cancer growth and how nutritional ketosis and metabolic therapy can help prevent and manage cancer more effectively.
Discover how tracking the Glucose-Ketone Index (GKI), exercising regularly, and targeting cellular metabolism can transform the way we understand cancer treatment. 🚀
If you care about metabolic health, cancer prevention, or functional medicine, this is a must-watch episode.
💡 Key Takeaways
✅Cancer is primarily a metabolic disease, not a genetic one.
✅Glucose and glutamine are the main fuels for cancer cells.
✅A ketogenic diet and GKI monitoring can support cancer management.
✅The press-pulse strategy targets cancer cells through metabolic control.
✅Exercise and mitochondrial health are vital in prevention.
✅Philanthropy fuels innovation in cancer research.
