#36 Starving Cancer Cells Through Metabolic Therapies with Dr. Thomas Seyfried

Cancer sucks. If you haven't had cancer you probably know at least one person in your family who has had it or is currently battling it. Unfortunately, it's extremely common. It's estimated that about 2 million people were diagnosed with cancer in 2020. Although the standard treatment has been chemo and radiation, new therapies, such as metabolic therapies, have emerged. Joining me today is Thomas Seyfried, Ph.D., from Boston College, to discuss his work using metabolic nutritional therapies to treat several types of cancer.

In this episode we discuss

• What is cancer and what nutrients feed cancer?
• How effective is the standard treatment of cancer using chemotherapy and radiation?
• Why is a therapeutic ketogenic diet is not enough to starve cancer cells?
• What would Dr. Seyfreid do if he were diagnosed with cancer?
