(2:00) Vinnie updates her on some of his challenges during treatment and how he had to advocate for himself. Michelle gives her and her wife, Corene's story. (9:00) An unexpected diagnosis turned their world upside down. They at least knew what to do nutritionally: the ketogenic diet. The American Cancer Society contradicted itself in its own statement. (12:00) Michelle and her wife saw over 32 medical professionals about the cancer diagnosis, and only one made a suggestion about nutrition, and it was incorrect advice. (15:30) She shares why a ketogenic diet is beneficial and what kind of changes they made in nutrition. Being in ketosis and paying attention to nutriton can help give you a fighting chance. The ketogenic diet isn't a cure, but it can significantly improve the outcome of many cancers. (23:00) What did Michelle do for research? (27:00) She understood cancer is a metabolic disease. They discuss how a vegan diet may make it hard to get enough nutrition. Michelle's wife needed much fewer radiation sessions than doctors predicted. Six months later Corene is in remission. (44:00) She gives more details, including how doctors didn't even ask about Corene's specific diet. Michelle will be teaming up with Dr Ken Berry for a new initiative regarding diabetes.
