What if the key to surviving an “incurable” diagnosis wasn’t found in a lab, but in your kitchen?

In this extraordinary episode, we follow the true story of Pablo Kelly, who defied every medical prediction after walking away from radiation and chemotherapy for a terminal brain tumor—and used nutrition alone to reclaim his life.

Diagnosed with glioblastoma multiforme, the most aggressive form of brain cancer, Pablo was given less than a year to live. But instead of accepting that fate, he began a radical nutritional experiment—one that would change the course of his health, and challenge everything medicine thought it knew about cancer metabolism.

Through a strict ketogenic diet, Pablo starved his tumor’s primary fuel source—glucose—forcing his body into a state of ketosis that favored healing over growth. Over time, his scans stabilized, his energy returned, and what doctors once called “impossible” became his reality: full remission.

By the end of this episode, you’ll discover:

  • The remarkable true story of Pablo Kelly’s recovery from glioblastoma multiforme—and what his decade of survival reveals about the body’s ability to heal.
  • The emerging science of metabolic therapies—and how food can influence cancer metabolism, inflammation, and repair.
  • The shared nutritional patterns seen across documented cases of remission, no matter the diagnosis.
  • Why “one-size-fits-all” diets fail—and how aligning food choices with intuition, feedback, and physiology can become a personal blueprint for healing.

You’ll also hear how Pablo’s journey connects to other stories of remission—from plant-based to ketogenic to carnivore—and what they share at the cellular level: a return to whole, unprocessed, life-giving foods that allow the body to remember how to heal.

Listen now to learn how one man’s refusal to accept the inevitable—and his willingness to trust his body’s intelligence—redefined what healing from cancer can mean. Because sometimes, the most radical act of hope begins with what’s on your plate.
