This episode features Dr. David Harper, who will discuss the root cause of cancer and the nutrition protocols to starve cancer cells. Dr Harper will discuss the truth about cancer and why cancer is not a genetic disease. Dr. Harper will explain the gene mutations that occur from cancer cells and the science behind metabolic therapy to starve cancer cells, reduce tumor (carcinomas) size, and ultimately prevent cancer. Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, and additional resources: https://www.theprimal.com/lab/starve-cancer-cells-heal-the-body-with-nutrition Dr. Harper explains the three axes of what causes cancer, hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, and chronic inflammation, and the mechanism by which all three lead to chronic disease, which includes cancer but also many other chronic health conditions like dementia, heart disease, stroke, and obesity. Dr Harper will share the science behind the Ketogenic diet as a nutritional protocol to starve cancer cells and the role of Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, MTOR, and AMPK in preventing cancer (via up-regulation and down-regulation of certain mechanisms). This episode is important for understanding how to actively treat cancer with nutrition, the science of metabolic therapy and mitochondria, and how to prevent cancer through lifestyle changes.

This episode features Dr. Annette Bosworth (Dr. Boz), who specializes in treating insulin resistance with a high fat Ketogenic Diet. Dr Boz has over 20 years of clinical experience treating the underlying root cause of many chronic health problems: insulin resistance. In this episode, Dr Boz explains how high insulin levels lead to heart attacks, strokes, dementia, high blood pressure, hormonal dysregulation, and the mechanism by which this happens. Access the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, and additional resources: https://www.5minutebody.com/lab/spot-insulin-resistance-no-labs-required Dr Boz explains exactly what the hormone insulin is, its role in the body, and, most importantly, how insulin levels rise over time. We discuss the role of dietary carbohydrates and processed foods and how both feed insulin resistance. Dr. Boz also explains the 10 signs and symptoms of insulin resistance so you can spot high insulin levels visibly without requiring blood work or labs. Dr. Boz explains the role of a Ketogenic Diet and why ketosis (ketones) is extremely important for healing chronic inflammation. We discuss the Dr. Boz ratio, which is an adaptation of the GKI index (also used in metabolic therapy for the treatment of cancer), and what numbers you need to lose weight, heal chronic inflammation, and reverse insulin resistance. This episode is important if you have insulin resistance. You will learn the simple science of how insulin levels become chronically elevated, how this relates to most chronic diseases and the simple signs and symptoms to spot insulin resistance.

Dr. Jason Fung, a seasoned nephrologist with over 25 years of research in weight loss and disease prevention, delves into the fascinating dynamics of obesity. He explains how hormones, especially insulin, influence fat storage more than calories do. Dr. Fung advocates for intermittent fasting and the importance of food timing for effective weight loss. He critiques weight loss medications like Ozempic, highlighting the psychological benefits of fasting over traditional dieting. This insightful conversation underscores the importance of understanding hormonal mechanisms for better health.

Dr. Nathan Bryan, a pioneer in Nitric Oxide research, emphasizes its crucial role in preventing chronic diseases like heart attacks and dementia. He discusses how our bodies produce Nitric Oxide and its effects on blood pressure and cardiovascular health. The conversation highlights the dangers of common lifestyle choices, like antiseptic mouthwash use, which disrupts oral microbiome health. Dr. Bryan shares natural methods to boost Nitric Oxide levels, such as dietary changes and breathing techniques, underscoring its importance for overall well-being.
