“a solution to the cancer problem to manage cancer without toxicity is to simultaneously restrict the two fuels that are needed to drive this disregulated growth while transitioning the whole body off to a fuel that the tumor cells can't use which is fatty acids and Ketone bodies.”
Main Takeaways:
- Restricting glucose and glutamine can help manage cancer by starving tumor cells of their primary fuels.
- Transitioning to a diet rich in fatty acids and ketones can be beneficial as tumor cells cannot utilize these for growth.
- This approach aims to manage cancer growth with minimal toxicity.

“he didn't take radiation or chemo yeah and he brought his glucose Ketone index down to the 2.0 Zone and kept it low and he took some supplements and a few things here and there but he wasn't really targeting the glutamine like we thought it with like we we thought we we found now certain parasite medications will be effective in targeting glutamine so we're doing all non-toxic strategies to manage cancer”
Main Takeaways:
- The patient avoided traditional cancer treatments like radiation and chemotherapy.
- He managed his condition through dietary changes, specifically maintaining a low glucose Ketone index.
- Supplements and non-traditional medications targeting glutamine were used as part of his treatment.

“when you are in nutritional ketosis with a glucose keto index of 2.0 or below my colleagues that we work with in Istanbul Turkey were able to show that chemotherapies at much lower dosages can be even more therapeutically powerful when you're in nutritional ketosis”
Main Takeaways:
- Nutritional ketosis, characterized by a low glucose Ketone index, can enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy.
- Lower doses of chemotherapy may be required when a patient is in a state of nutritional ketosis.

“I try to get a lot of vigorous intensity exercise in so that would be 80% max heart rate and um the reason for that is because I've been pretty convinced that if you are not an athlete doing more than 10 hours a week or 10 or more right of you know endurance training so if you're if you're not that person um I think that it's more beneficial the data suggests it's more beneficial to engage the majority of the time in more vigorous intensity exercise versus what's zone two training right so like a lower intensity or I guess it's more moderate intensity the talk test kind of exercise right where you're breathy but you can still have a conversation which I do like doing those as well particular when I'm having a conversation with someone on a run it's nice I enjoy it but um I do also go harder um I do a lot of high-intensity interval training and um I think that the there's there's evidence for that uh if you are going harder and you're getting that heart rate up to 80% max heart rate you're increasing that lactate and we've talked about…”
Main Takeaways:
- Vigorous intensity exercise, defined as reaching 80% of maximum heart rate, is beneficial, especially for non-athletes who do not engage in extensive endurance training.
- High-intensity interval training (HIIT) increases lactate production, which is utilized by the brain during exercise, enhancing brain function and health.
- Lactate helps in the production of neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and serotonin, and promotes the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports brain health.
