Summary
Thank you for joining us for another episode of the Low Carb MD Podcast. We are very excited to have our fellow co-host Dr. Jason Fung joining us on the show! Dr. Fung is a hugely influential author, speaker, and Low Carb doctor. He is the co-founder of thefastingmethod.com and has written numerous bestselling books including The Diabetes Code and The Fasting Code. He has recently written a new book, The Cancer Code, which is about past and current paradigms of cancer and caner treatment (available November 10).
In this episode, Dr. Fung shares an overview of the history of cancer treatment and human understanding of cancer. Next, he lays out the new ways in which scientists and doctors are moving forward with cancer research. Additionally, Dr. Fung breaks down the new evolutionary paradigm for understanding cancer. Finally, he is able to connect lifestyle and environment to the development of cancer. We also discuss ways in which our diets and environmental factors can cause the kind of chronic sub-lethal damage that leads to the development of cancer.
