Making Your Body An Unwelcome Place For Cancer To Grow
The Dr. Hyman Show
Fasting Mimicking Diet and Chemotherapy
Research shows that a fasting mimicking diet may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy for some by making cancer cells more vulnerable due to reduced nutrients while allowing healthy cells to adapt and survive. It is advised to reduce calorie intake to 700-1100 calories for three days before and two days after chemotherapy, under the supervision of a professional to ensure safety and avoid unhealthy weight loss. Some individuals can benefit from this diet without losing weight. However, careful planning and working with a nutritionist are crucial to ensure the body receives all necessary nutrients. The fasting mimicking diet is particularly relevant for individuals looking to address inflammation in the treatment of cancer or chronic diseases.
