Every drop of blood tells a story—and in this episode of The Health Pulse, we decode the complex narrative of leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects over 60,000 Americans each year. Unlike solid tumors, leukemia spreads through the bloodstream, making it harder to detect but critical to understand.

We explore how abnormal white blood cells crowd out the healthy cells your body needs to fight infections, carry oxygen, and clot blood. You’ll learn the four main types of leukemia—acute vs. chronic, lymphocytic vs. myeloid—and why these classifications matter for treatment and prognosis.

We break down how deceptively ordinary symptoms like fatigue, frequent infections, or easy bruising can mask this condition, and why laboratory testing—from blood counts to genetic profiling—is essential for early detection.

Most importantly, we highlight the revolutionary treatments transforming outcomes: targeted therapies, CAR T-cell therapy, and advanced testing that detects residual disease at levels once thought impossible. This is personalized medicine in action—bringing hope to patients who once had few options.

Could the deadliest form of brain cancer have a metabolic Achilles’ heel? In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s groundbreaking theory that glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is not just a genetic disease, but fundamentally a metabolic disorder—one that can be targeted by cutting off its preferred fuel sources.

Building on Otto Warburg’s historic observation that cancer cells rely heavily on fermentation even in the presence of oxygen, Seyfried’s work reveals GBM’s metabolic inflexibility: while healthy cells can adapt to burning different fuels, GBM cells with damaged mitochondria remain dependent on glucose and glutamine. This opens the door to the PRESS-pulse strategy—a therapeutic ketogenic diet combined with fasting, glutamine restriction, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

We discuss compelling case studies showing extended survival and improved quality of life, why these therapies remain underutilized, and how patient advocacy is driving change. If you’ve ever wondered how nutrition and metabolism could play a role in cancer care, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew.

Over 50 million Americans live with autoimmune diseases—yet few understand just how much diet and metabolic health shape these conditions. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we explore groundbreaking research showing that genetics account for only one-third of autoimmune risk. The remaining two-thirds? Environmental triggers, with diet leading the charge.

We unpack how refined carbohydrates, processed foods, and insulin resistance contribute to gut dysfunction, systemic inflammation, and molecular mimicry—a process that can trick your immune system into attacking your own tissues. From thyroid disease to rheumatoid arthritis and chronic skin conditions, we examine how diet shapes immune balance at the cellular level.

You’ll also discover emerging dietary strategies—like the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), ketogenic, and paleo approaches—that show promise in reducing autoimmune flares, improving energy, and restoring quality of life. Plus, we highlight the key lab markers that can uncover your personal inflammatory triggers and guide a personalized healing plan.

Whether you’re managing an autoimmune condition or simply curious about how food affects your immune health, this episode is packed with science-based strategies for healing from within.

Your liver could be in serious trouble—and you might not even know it. In this episode of The Health Pulse, we uncover the silent but growing epidemic of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), the advanced and inflammatory form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) now emerging as a leading cause of liver failure worldwide.

We explore how insulin resistance, high-fructose diets, and modern sedentary lifestyles trigger a metabolic cascade that overloads the liver with fat, drives inflammation, and leads to scarring—even in people who feel perfectly healthy. You’ll learn how fructose metabolism, de novo lipogenesis, and oxidative stress play central roles in this condition, and why NASH is so often found in those with type 2 diabetes, obesity, and high triglycerides.

More importantly, we share hopeful, evidence-based strategies to reverse early-stage liver damage—including the benefits of weight loss, low-carb and Mediterranean diets, and regular physical activity, even without major weight change.

If you haven’t checked your liver enzymes lately, this episode could be the nudge that changes everything.
