Dr Harper will share the science behind the Ketogenic diet as a nutritional protocol to starve cancer cells and the role of Beta-Hydroxybutyrate, MTOR, and AMPK in preventing cancer (via up-regulation and down-regulation of certain mechanisms). This episode is important for understanding how to actively treat cancer with nutrition, the science of metabolic therapy and mitochondria, and how to prevent cancer through lifestyle changes.
