Dr Lori Bouchard | The Top Causes of Cancer & How to Support Your Mitochondria to Prevent Disease KKP: 673

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. Lori Bouchard. She completed her degree in Health Science at Western University and a Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine (the four-year full-time program) at the prestigious Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto. Dr. Bouchard founded Inside Health, Ontario’s most innovative naturopathic healing center, to help people reverse complicated and often misunderstood conditions such as Lyme, chronic fatigue, Hashimoto’s, and infertility. More than a decade later, Inside Health offers a comprehensive range of naturopathic support, welcoming all those who wish to live in optimal health. With a special focus on cancer health, Dr. Bouchard is on a mission to help patients understand the real root of cancer and how gut health, genetics, and environmental factors impact tumor growth. In this episode, Dr. Bouchard explains why it’s a good sign when you get sick once or twice a year. Being sick is one of the ways our body can get rid of the garbage in our cells. Then, Dr. Bouchard dives into all things cancer, including how to support the body, the importance of attitude, and how the cells communicate during this time. Plus, Dr. Bouchard discusses all the different ways you can help the mitochondria. Tune in as we chat about eating the best types of foods with a cancer diagnosis, the connection between stress and disease, and managing sleep.

If you never get sick, then your immune system never has a chance to purge toxicity. Getting rid of garbage is a crucial thing for our bodies. You should be sick once or twice a year. However, you shouldn’t be sick for lengthy periods. [10:50] The Impact Your Feelings and Attitude Can Have With A Cancer Diagnosis You need to support the body when you have cancer. Anger is going to make cancer way worse. When you get a cancer diagnosis, it’s a reason to look at your health and healing differently. One in every two people in their lifetime will get cancer. 100% of men over the age of 80 have prostate cancer. Also, many people die with thyroid cancer but not from thyroid cancer. Remember, cancer doesn’t necessarily have to take your life; it’s part of how your cells are aging. [15:45] Did You Know That Cancer Is A Survival Mechanism? Cancer is a survival mechanism. Every single one of our cells has a slew of mitochondria. Each of the mitochondria produces energy. Stress, toxicity, inflammation, and glyphosates are damaging our mitochondria. Cancer is your body trying to keep your cells alive. [23:35] How To Support Your Mitochondrial Health A 13-hour fast will support your mitochondria. Eliminating toxicity will also help your mitochondria. Get rid of foods with glyphosates, herbicides, and pesticides. Don’t brush your teeth with damaging chemicals. Also, make sure you are going to the bathroom every day. If you are regularly eliminating, then you are not putting stress on the liver. Drinking lots of water will help keep your cells healthy. [34:30] The Hospitals Are Feeding Cancer Patients The Wrong Types of Foods Most doctors do not want to engage in a conversation about nutrition and cancer. We need to have a critical talk about fueling the body properly. When you’re in the hospital, they give you foods full of sugar, feeding cancer. You’ll do better with your cancer treatments if your body is in ketosis. [39:40] Is Prostate Cancer Associated With Sedentary Behavior? If you’re given a prostate cancer diagnosis, they'll put you on androgen blockers to suppress your testosterone. However, Dr. Bouchard thinks people should be moving more. As we age, it’s common for most people to sit at their computer all day long and not move. Testosterone declines when you aren’t moving. Dr. Bouchard likes to get men working on a hula hoop. In general, most people do not move around enough. [42:30] The Connection Between Chronic Stress and Cancer Fear, anxiety, sleepless nights, and high cortisol can worsen cancer. If lifestyle and food were the same, stress would make cancer worse. When your stress levels are high, your sleep and how you repair at night won’t be the same. Living in the sympathetic nervous state is going to trigger cancer cells more. AND MUCH MORE!
