Chris Beat Cancer: Heal With Nutrition & Natural Therapies

Complete show notes and links here: https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/dr-valter-longo-fasting-mimicking-diet-improves-breast-cancer-treatment/ “The most powerful medicine is the medicine from within.” – Dr. Valter Longo It’s been two and a half years, since my last interview with Dr. Valter Longo, and today he’s back to share some exciting updates on his ongoing research, specifically on fasting to improve cancer treatment. Valter Longo PhD is the author of the book, The Longevity Diet, and one of the foremost researchers in the world on fasting, immune system regeneration, and longevity. Dr. Longo and colleagues also developed the Fasting Mimicking Diet, a 4-5 day, plant-based, calorie-restricted diet, which is used clinically under the name Xentigen (formerly Chemolieve) and is available to consumers under the brand name ProLon. In this new interview, Dr. Longo talks about three new studies published in Nature on the impact that a Fasting Mimicking Diet has on cancer cells and cancer treatment. These studies found: -Breast cancer patients who did a four-day Fasting Mimicking Diet around each chemo cycle had the same amount of side effects as the control group doing chemo, but without taking an additional drug to reduce side effects. The FMD group had a five times better response to chemo than the non-FMD group. They were more likely to experience 90-100% tumor loss and they had far less long-term immune cell damage. -The Fasting Mimicking Diet combined with IV vitamin C worked better than vitamin C alone. -Hormone therapy ER+ with FMD caused increased tumor regression and reversed treatment resistance. It is an absolute thrill and an incredible honor to be able to interview Dr. Valter Longo again. Dig in, learn some amazing stuff, and then share this interview with the people you care about!

I discovered Dr. Talib when I stumbled across his incredible 2017 study, which showed that lemon garlic extract caused 91% tumor shrinkage and completely reversed breast cancer tumors in 80% of mice, and subsequently wrote an article about how to make it. Dr. Talib has authored a number of studies investigating the anticancer effects of compounds found in nature such as turmeric, resveratrol, ginger, thyme, piperine, and melatonin. And we discuss his fascinating findings in our interview. Dr. Wahmid Talib is on the frontlines of nutritional cancer therapy and it was a thrill and an honor to speak to him. Enjoy!

During that time, Rip helped his entire firehouse (Engine 2) convert to a plant-based diet, helping his fellow firemen lose weight and reverse various chronic diseases. In 2009, as a result of that experience, he wrote a massive bestseller called The Engine 2 Diet and created the global Plant-Strong movement. Since then he has authored multiple bestsellers including: Plant-Strong, The Engine 2 Seven-Day Rescue Diet, and The Engine 2 Cookbook. Rip was an executive producer for the documentary film The Game Changers and also hosts the Plant-Strong Podcast. And Rip recently became a world record holder in the 200-meter backstroke in his age group, 55-59! You’re going to love this interview recorded somewhere in the Caribbean Sea from my cabin aboard the 2020 Holistic Holiday at Sea Cruise, in the good old days before COVID-19 shut down the planet. Enjoy!

Today’s episode of the Chris Beat Cancer podcast features Will Bulsiewicz, MD, MSCI, (a.k.a. Dr. B), a board-certified gastroenterologist, gut health expert, and the author of Fiber Fueled: The Plant-Based Gut Health Program for Losing Weight, Restoring Your Health, and Optimizing Your Microbiome. Fiber is essential for a healthy gut, diverse microbiome and a strong immune system. It is, in my opinion, the most underrated nutrient. And as a result, 97% of Americans are fiber deficient! Fun fact: You can’t get fiber from animal food. It is only found in plants. In our interview Dr. Will Bulsiewicz and I talk about Fiber Fueled, how to heal and prevent disease with a fiber-rich plant-based diet, why doctors aren’t educated in evidence-based nutrition, the brutality of med school training, a new study showing how your microbiome affects your COVID-19 risk, and so much more. This was such a fun conversation that Dr. B and I went extra long. Enjoy!

In this episode, Chris interviews Dr. Brooke Goldner, a board-certified physician who reversed her lupus through a high raw 100% plant-based diet. They discuss the impact of diet on autoimmune diseases, the importance of emotional fortitude in recovery, and the benefits of a plant-based diet for healing and preventing recurrence of cancer. They also explore the role of emotional and psychological factors in health and the transformative power of nutrition in healing from lymphoma.

Show Notes and Links here: https://www.chrisbeatcancer.com/michael-greger-md-on-how-not-to-diet/ In my previous interview with Dr. Michael Greger, we discussed his book How Not to Die, which is, in my opinion, the best, most comprehensive book on nutritional science ever written. In today’s interview, filmed aboard the Holistic Holiday at Sea Cruise, Dr. Greger and I talk about his incredible new evidence-based weight loss book, How Not to Diet. Why do I care about weight loss? Because obesity is the second leading cause of cancer. Excess body fat promotes hormonal imbalances, chronic inflammation, and immunosuppression. Losing excess fat and getting down to a healthy weight and BMI is essential for prevention and healing. Dr. Greger made quite a few surprising and fascinating discoveries while combing through the scientific literature to learn the best dietary strategies to lose excess weight and keep it off… Like how dinner calories are twice as fattening as breakfast calories (seriously!), the best intermittent fasting strategy, spices that accelerate weight loss, and so much more! You’re gonna love this interview with Dr. Michael Greger!
