#148 Mitochondria and Cancer: How Cellular Energy Holds the Key to Healing | Dr. Anthony Chaffee

In this episode, we explore the critical role of mitochondria in cancer, energy production, and healing. Dr. Anthony Chaffee explains how damaged mitochondria contribute to cancer growth and how targeting cellular energy can offer new possibilities for treatment.
We discuss the Warburg effect, which highlights how cancer cells rely on glucose for energy, and how ketogenic metabolic therapy can limit this fuel source. The conversation also covers the impact of deuterium on mitochondrial health and how depleting deuterium may support cancer treatment.
Dr. Chaffee shares insights on how light, environment, and diet influence mitochondrial function and how strategies like glutamine blockade and fasting can support the body’s natural defenses.
This episode challenges conventional views on cancer, shifting the focus from genetics to the metabolic and mitochondrial roots of the disease.

Takeaways:
• Mitochondria play a central role in cancer development and healing.
• The Warburg effect shows cancer cells rely heavily on glucose for energy.
• Ketogenic metabolic therapy can effectively starve cancer cells.
• Deuterium accumulation damages mitochondria and promotes disease.
• Light exposure and environment directly impact mitochondrial health.
• Glutamine blockade offers new possibilities for treating aggressive cancers.
• Fasting promotes mitophagy, leading to healthier, more efficient cells.
• Deuterium-depleted water can support mitochondrial function and reduce cancer risk.
• Cancer may be more of a metabolic disease than a genetic one.
• Practical lifestyle changes can significantly boost mitochondrial health.
