Starving Cancer? Dr. Thomas Seyfried on Keto, Fasting & Low-Dose Chemo (Part 2)
Dr. Thomas Seyfried returns for Part 2 of our deep dive into the metabolic theory of cancer—and this time we get practical.
In this episode, Professor Seyfried (Biology, Boston College), author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, explains how glucose and glutamine fuel tumor cells and why managing cancer as a mitochondrial metabolic disorder changes everything about prevention and therapy.
We discuss:
* Why keeping blood sugar low and ketones elevated (nutritional ketosis) creates a hostile environment for cancer cells
* How he uses the Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) to guide diet and fasting
* The idea of “press-pulse” therapy – long-term metabolic pressure plus short, targeted hits
* Combining ketogenic metabolic therapy with low-dose chemotherapy
* Why some patients and clinicians are exploring antiparasitic drugs (like mebendazole/fenbendazole) as glutamine-targeting tools
* The role of exercise, fasting, and evolutionary biology in protecting mitochondria
* Why he believes the genetic model of cancer is failing patients – and what a future metabolic standard of care could look like
If you or someone you love is dealing with cancer—or you’re serious about prevention—this conversation is essential listening.

About Dr. Thomas SeyfriedDr. Seyfried is a professor of biology at Boston College and author of “Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management and Prevention of Cancer.” His work builds on and expands the Warburg hypothesis, arguing that mitochondrial dysfunction and fermentation are at the heart of cancer biology.
