Show Notes/Description
In this groundbreaking episode, Ben Pakulski sits down with Dr. Dominic D’Agostino to unpack a revolutionary approach to fighting cancer using metabolic therapy, ketosis, and fasting protocols. Dr. D’Agostino shares over 15 years of cutting-edge research on how ketones, calorie restriction, and metabolic biomarkers can suppress tumor growth, reduce treatment side effects, and potentially prevent cancer altogether. You’ll learn how to personalize your glucose-ketone index, why metabolic health is the key to longevity, and what fasting protocols may optimize immunity and resilience. Whether you’re focused on performance, prevention, or recovery, this episode is packed with actionable insights that challenge the status quo of modern medicine.
Points To Watch Out For
- How ketones suppress cancer cell growth
- The glucose-ketone index you should track
- Fasting as a cancer prevention strategy
- Why metabolic health is your first defense
- How ketone therapy boosts immune response

| 0:00.0 | Metabolic health is the primary driver to delay the onset of the four horsemen that are going to kill you. |
| 0:07.6 | When a cancer patient gets cancer and they get a high tumor burden that creates inflammation in the body, |
| 0:12.7 | and that inflammation eats up skeletal muscle mass. |
| 0:16.7 | But we do know that ketones have anti-cadabolic effects. |
| 0:19.9 | That more or less kind of cripples the cancer's ability to protect itself from oxidative |
| 0:25.6 | stress. |
| 0:26.6 | That can be achieved with ketone supplementation, but it's going to work better with a well-formulated |
| 0:31.1 | diet. |
| 0:32.0 | The big vision is to create metabolic treatment centers. |
| 0:35.0 | How do you integrate this unbelievably rapid pursuit of technology and science? |
| 0:41.2 | You need to learn to ask the right questions. |
| 0:43.8 | The trajectory of science right now, and especially with AI, is going to help bridge the |
| 0:49.0 | gap between scientific understanding and philosophy and spiritual understanding. |
| 0:54.0 | I'm going to be replaced. |
| 0:55.0 | So I think of ketone supplements as a training aid. It's something that you take over a protracted |
| 1:01.2 | period of time to enhance the adaptive response to exercise. |
| 1:05.0 | One of the questions I'd like start with is like, what's interesting to you right now? |
| 1:16.6 | And it sounds like you've got this wide array of ways to answer that. |
| 1:21.6 | Yeah. |
| 1:22.6 | And 12 different projects, give a take? |
| 1:25.6 | Yeah, if you spread them out. |
| 1:27.6 | I'd say like three or four big ones and then, yeah, like a bunch of little pet projects, |
