What if the cancer treatment that works best is the one pharmaceutical companies can't profit from? 

What if one of the cancer treatments that works best is the one the pharmaceutical companies can't profit from?!

Dr. Katie sits down again with Professor Thomas Seyfried to explore why the medical system resists alternative approaches to a disease that claims over 1,700 lives daily in the U.S., and what's actually driving cancer at the cellular level. They reveal a specific therapeutic strategy that targets both fuels cancer cells depend on to survive.

Dr. Seyfried explains how cancer isn't the genetic lottery you've been led to believe, it's a metabolic condition with a metabolic solution. 

You'll learn why your body's normal cells thrive on completely different fuel than cancer cells do, and how a compound called DON (a glutamine antagonist) combined with therapeutic ketosis creates conditions where healthy cells flourish while cancer cells can't survive.

00:21:03 – Beyond the Keto Diet
00:32:00 – Why Healing Threatens the ‘System’
00:37:15 – The Genetic Myth

Dr. Katie and Dr. Seyfried discuss the practical challenges patients face when trying to find providers who understand this science, why measuring your glucose-ketone index matters more than following any specific meal plan.

Dr. Seyfried's research team is seeing remarkable outcomes in advanced cases that conventional medicine has given up on, and he shares exactly what that approach looks like.

Listen and learn why the paradigm shift in cancer management isn't just coming, it's already here, waiting for the rest of the world to catch up.

What if the very services meant to ease your symptoms could also extend your life and yet most people don’t learn about them until it’s far too late?

Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Lisa Tartaglia, a dual board-certified palliative care and hospice physician, to clear up the confusion around two of healthcare's most misunderstood services.

You'll discover the real difference between palliative care and hospice, and why both focus on helping you live fully rather than simply managing decline.  Her approach challenges the common belief that these services are only for the final days of life. Dr. Tartaglia reveals why patients who receive hospice services earlier often live longer and with greater peace, plus the specific questions to ask when evaluating providers in your area.

13:20 Meeting patients where they are

This conversation offers practical guidance you won't find in most doctor's offices. Dr. Tartaglia explains when someone qualifies for these services, how to choose the right provider, and why early involvement leads to better outcomes.

You’ll learn how to have conversations with your healthcare team about symptom management and quality of life services. They also discuss why staying true to yourself, rather than identifying completely with your diagnosis, plays a crucial role in your healing journey.

Listen and understand how these services could transform your experience with chronic illness, whether you're dealing with cancer, heart failure, or other challenging health conditions.

If you’ve ever wrestled with fatigue, cravings, or the relentless pace of life, this conversation will invite you to imagine a different way. One that isn’t about restriction, but about discovering what truly nourishes you; body, mind, and spirit.

Listen and learn how slowing down might just be the most powerful step you can take toward healing.
