It’s become a widely held belief that cancer is predominately a genetic disease. However, an empowering evolution in cancer research has shown we have far more control over our risk than previously thought. Join me as I speak with Dr. Thomas Seyfried, PhD, a trailblazer in the arena of conquering cancer. In 2012, Dr. Seyfried published his groundbreaking book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management & Prevention of cancer, which provided extensive information showing that cancer can be best defined as a mitochondrial metabolic disease, rather than a genetic disease. In this episode, we discuss Dr. Seyfried’s approach in addressing metabolic dysfunction in order to both treat as well as prevent the development of cancer. What you’ll learn from this episode Why cancer is not a genetic disease, and how Dr. Seyfried’s research demonstrates that mutations to genes come as a downstream effectThe two sources that cancer cells use as fuel How elevated blood glucose levels can promote cancer growthHow being in a state of therapeutic ketosis can increase the efficacy of some complementary therapies, such as ozone therapy& Much more!
