EP245: From World Champion to Brain Cancer Conqueror with Alison Gannett


Listen Later

Imagine being a world champion skier, growing all of your own food and then being diagnosed with terminal malignant BRAIN CANCER and given 6 months to live.

That's what happened to today's podcast guest, oncology nutrition expert, Alison Gannett.

Fortunately, today (7 years later) she is healthy and teaching others how to conquer and prevent cancer using targeted diet and lifestyle strategies.

Cancer takes over 600,000 American lives each year and approximately 1 in 3 Americans will develop cancer.

It seems to touch all of us in some way.

So do yourself a favor and listen in for Alison's incredible story, the steps she took to conquer cancer and steps you can take to possibly prevent cancer. Here are some of the fascinating topics we cover:

  • How many hours a day she fasts (and the specific changes she sees in her labs)
  • Why her vitamin C was poisoning her
  • The common food that can drive cancer growth
  • 3 simple steps that may prevent cancer
  • The personality type associated with cancer
  • Why the carnivore diet scares her
  • The 3 main factors she thinks led to her cancer diagnosis
  • The "healthy" dietary strategy she believes caused her cancer
  • How to know if you need less protein
  • The 5 minute daily practice that has helped her heal
  • Why she doesn't drink smoothies
  • The paleo-approved flour that can be high in carbs
  • Why keto can work for cancer
  • The % of cancer cases negatively impacted by excess carbs (this will shock you!)
  • Her favorite keto-approved sweetener
  • The link between over exercise and cancer
  • Why muscle soreness is not always a good thing
