Episode 2672 - BEST OF: Vinnie Tortorich welcomes Dr. Thomas Seyfried and they discuss metabolic dysfunction, glucose, glutamine, and cancer therapies. Glucose, Glutamine, and Cancer Vinnie explains why he recommends listening to Dr. Thomas Seyfried. (2:00) Vinnie has been in remission and avoided chemo for 17 years by leading a ketogenic lifestyle. There are all kinds of side effects from chemotherapy, even though it can save people. There have been several theories of disease. (8:00) NCI states that cancer is a genetic disease of dysregulated cell growth, called the somatic mutation theory. Another theory suggests that damage to organelles can cause mutations in cells, or that mutations may have a mitochondrial metabolic origin. The treatment of cancer as a metabolic disease also allows people to participate in the management of their disorder. He explains the importance of oxygen and energy and how they affect the cells. (11:00) This is known as the mitochondrial metabolic theory of cancer. Dr. Seyfried explains some fascinating experiments and theories. (14:00) Once there is an agreement on the mitochondrial metabolic theory, treatment for cancers could be much less toxic and more manageable. (17:00) Metabolically treating cancer can help because even if there is recurrence, it can often be treated with fewer chemicals. (20:00) The idea is to reduce or eliminate the cancer through diet and medication that target the fermentation metabolism. Glutamine is an amino acid and has many uses in the body. (22:30) Dr. Seyfried explains the press-pulse therapeutic strategy. The Glucose Ketone Index What kind of diet and supplementation can help those who may have cancer? (27:30) The Glucose Ketone Index (GKI) calculator and its function are explained. How the GKI happens varies per person, but if you can keep the GKI measurement at 2.0 mmol or below, you can put pressure on the tumor cells. (29:00) Each person is their own experiment, but low-carb is beneficial as it keeps your ketones active. Vinnie asks Dr. Seyfried to explain ketone measurements and monitors. (32:30) They discuss genetics, such as the BRCA1 mutation. (36:00) They discuss the frustration of some doctors’ approaches to other diseases. (40:00) Type 2 diabetes has replaced smoking as the number one risk factor for cancer! (43:15) They discuss the challenges of today’s diet and lifestyle. (46:00) Low-cost and convenience foods are taking their toll on society’s health. Type 2 diabetes is a diet and lifestyle issue. Give people the opportunity to make their own choices.
