Episode notes
Mark's Cancer Journey
- Mark Lintern was diagnosed with skin cancer at 28, prompting him to research cancer.
- His friend later died from cervical cancer despite conventional treatment, fueling his research.
Limitations of Cancer Research
- Cancer research often focuses on proving a single theory, neglecting other possibilities.
- Biohacking's strength lies in combining multiple non-conflicting theories.
The Warburg Effect
- The Warburg effect describes cancer cells' preference for fermentation (anaerobic metabolism) over respiration (aerobic metabolism) for energy production.
- This metabolic switch is considered crucial in cancer development.
