Episode Highlights With Thomas Seyfried

What cancer actually is and why it isn’t just genetic
How mitochondria function is a big factor in the cancer equation
What the Warburg study is and what it shows us about how cancer happens
Why cyanide kills healthy cells but not tumor cells
Cancer cells don’t use oxygen for energy, and what they use instead
Warburg: cancer cells replace oxygen energy with fermentation energy
How cancer cells use oxygen, not for energy but to create reactive oxygen species
The only two fuels cancer cells use: glucose and the amino acid glutamine (both fermentable)
His opinion: target the glucose and the glutamine simultaneously while transitioning the body to ketones
The biggest cancer breakthrough in the last few decades? Reduction in smoking
What are the root causes of cancer as a metabolic disease
Provocative agents that increase the risk of cancer: chronic inflammation, age, carcinogenic chemicals, viruses, age, genes (like BRCA1)
How to keep your mitochondria healthy to reduce the risk of cancer “Our genes are supremely capable of preventing cancer”
Why he recommends periodic water fasting for mitochondria health
How exercise helps support mitochondria
What ketones are and why they are a super fuel for the body
How to address the glutamine side of cancer cells
What glutamine-targeting drugs are
Why his approach is getting rid of cancer without the toxicity
The reason that traditional cancer treatment like chemo and radiation can be more effective when used with metabolic therapies
What he would do if he had cancer

“We can reduce the death rate by 50% if you view the tumor as a metabolic problem rather than a genetic problem” – Thomas Seyfried
