Jul 28, 2025 Dominic D’Agostino, a leading researcher at Moffitt Cancer Center, dives into innovative metabolic therapies for fighting cancer. He shares insights from his 15 years of research on how ketones and fasting can suppress tumor growth. You'll discover the importance of personalizing your glucose-ketone index and how metabolic health serves as a frontline defense against cancer. Currently trending topics include the connection between dietary habits and cancer prevention, along with the implications of using ketone therapy to enhance immune response.

Episode notes
Glucose Ketone Index Controls Cancer
- The glucose ketone index (GKI) measures glucose relative to ketones and a low GKI can slow aggressive cancer growth.
- Maintaining GKI through diet and supplements supports metabolic states that suppress tumor growth and insulin-driven cancer factors.
Combine Metabolic Therapy for Cancer
- Combine a well-formulated ketogenic diet with ketone supplements and medications like metformin to lower glucose and elevate ketones.
- Use adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy to increase oxidative stress on tumors and cripple cancer metabolism non-toxically.
Ketones Protect Muscle in Cancer
- Ketones have anti-catabolic effects by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines linked to cancer cachexia muscle wasting.
- Elevating ketones can reduce inflammation and muscle loss common in cancer and chemotherapy.
