1 hour 7 minutes

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.

00:32:00 – 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.
