Miriam Kalamian’s son was diagnosed with a brain tumor that was progressively getting worse and not responding well to treatment. Determined to exhaust all of her options, she dove headfirst into treatments she could use to complement the standard one given. Her research led her to using keto for cancer. Despite her determination though, Miriam’s doctors didn’t think keto was worth it and advised her to stick to the plan, which did not include the high-fat diet. Eventually, she persisted, did extensive research, and figured out how to use keto therapeutically. And her efforts paid off big time since she saw incredible results in her son’s condition. Miriam dives into the science behind why keto works (and when it doesn’t), what fuels cancer, and the exact steps to take if you’ve been diagnosed. She also shares her tip for what to focus on if you’re healthy, how to use fasting to reduce chemo side effects, and other therapies. If you don’t know Miriam Kalamian, she’s authored the book, Keto for Cancer, which shares her journey and the what’s she uncovered along the way in much greater detail. In this podcast episode, you’ll hear about this and so much more. Check it out now!
