Summary
In this episode, we are again joined by Thomas Seyfried, a Professor in Boston College's Biology Department. Not only does Thomas have immense responsibilities educating students, but he also runs a research program that develops new drug therapies for managing cancer.
Thomas is focused on understanding how metabolic therapy impacts chronic diseases like epilepsy, neurodegenerative lipid storage diseases, and cancer. By looking into alternative cancer treatments, scientists like Thomas are revolutionizing the future of healthcare – using natural metabolic therapies such as caloric restriction, fasting, and ketogenic diets in place of toxic alternatives…
Jump in now to uncover:
- The types of cancer that Thomas is trying to understand and target.
- Strategies for cancer management without toxicity.
- What fermentation pathways are, and how they can generate energy without oxygen.
- The #1 problem that all cancer cells share.
- What the origin of cancer is.
