The Metabolic Approach To Cancer

How The Ketogenic Diet Is Used For The Management Of Cancer?





Dr. Chafee and Dr. Seyfried are two of the most influential doctors on the planet when it comes to the science behind the root causes of disease. This interview is a must watch for anyone with cancer, auto-immunity, metabolic syndrome, chronic illness and chronic inflammatory disease.


Professor Thomas Seyfried has published over 150 peer reviewed studies in biology and cancer biology and has verified Nobel Prize Winner Otto Warburg's conclusion that cancer is a metabolic disease of the mitochondria, not a genetic disorder.  If we misunderstand the origin of the disease, the treatment is going to be wrong as well, and this is exactly what has happened.  Ever think about why the cancer rates have tripled in the past 40 years?  Well, this is why.


Thomas N. Seyfried received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois, Urbana, in 1976. He did his undergraduate work at the University of New England, where he recently received the distinguished Alumni Achievement Award. He also holds a Master’s degree in Genetics from Illinois State University. Thomas Seyfried served with distinction in the United States Army’s First Cavalry Division during the Vietnam War and received numerous medals and commendations. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Neurology at the Yale University School of Medicine and then served on the faculty as an Assistant Professor in Neurology.


Other awards and honors have come from such diverse organizations as the American Oil Chemists Society, the National Institutes of Health, The American Society for Neurochemistry, the Ketogenic Diet Special Interest Group of the American Epilepsy Society, the Academy of Comprehensive and Complementary Medicine, and the American College of Nutrition.


Dr. Seyfried previously served as Chair, Scientific Advisory Committee for the National Tay-Sachs and Allied Diseases Association and presently serves on several editorial boards, including those for Nutrition & Metabolism, Neurochemical Research, the Journal of Lipid Research, and ASN Neuro, where he is a Senior Editor.


Dr. Seyfried is also the author of the book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012).



Given a terminal diagnosis of Stage IV ovarian cancer at just 19, Dr. Winters chose to fight. And fortunately for us all, she won.


Now, more than 20 years later, she has helped thousands of patients battle cancer with a unique approach that combines the best of both conventional medicine and alternative care.


She acknowledges that treating the cancer is important, but also prioritizes treating the whole person. She believes that targeted lifestyle approaches can enhance cancer care, quality of life, and even survival.






Did you know that many doctors now believe that cancer is a metabolic disease? Meaning, it is rooted in glucose dysregulation.


I had the honor of interviewing Dr. Niki Young, a Naturopathic Oncologist, about her integrative approaches to cancer treatment. I am thrilled to be working with a team of doctors who are committed to integrating therapeutic dietary strategies into their practices, such as the ketogenic diet, which is a powerful intervention in the management of cancer. 


I'm excited to share this cutting-edge information with you because I am passionate about letting people know they DO have options when it comes to cancer treatment!


Across the board, cancer outcomes are much better (often double the survival rate!) when traditional treatments are coupled with diet and lifestyle changes. This cannot be overlooked! 


Dr. Young shares some incredibly powerful protocols she is using to treat cancer that have decades of research behind them and have been used safely for over 40 years in Europe. 


I am honored to be working with Dr. Young on a joint project called "Keto For Cancer" where we look at cancer as a metabolic disease and consider therapeutic nutritional ketosis as  an integral part of the recovery process.

Salt is an essential nutrient. Our body requires sodium (contained in salt) for all of our cells to function properly, especially our brain and nervous system. The human body cannot produce sodium, and therefore, it must come from the foods we eat and from the salt we put on our food.
