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.

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.
