Part 35 - Dr. Thomas Seyfried on Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, More Effective Therapies, and Treating it Without Toxicity

Part 35 - Dr. Thomas Seyfried on Cancer as a Metabolic Disease, More Effective Therapies, and Treating it Without Toxicity

Dr. Thomas Seyfried is a Professor of Biology at Boston College, and received his Ph.D. in Genetics and Biochemistry from the University of Illinois. He then worked as an assistant professor in the neurology department at the Yale school of medicine. He has over 180 peer-reviewed publications and is author of the book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease. He recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Academy of Complimentary and Integrative Medicine.

I got a chance to meet and interview him at the Metabolic Health Summit earlier this year. You'll notice we did this podcast shortly after the Super Bowl. In case people aren't familiar with American football the New England Patriots had just beaten the LA Rams.

I hope people look up the paper he recently published that we mention and watch his presentation I linked to in the show notes and go deeper on this topic. It's very surprising to learn of this completely new view on cancer if you haven't heard of it before. This really shouldn't be very surprising to anyone, however, because of course our modern diet and lifestyle would have the biggest effect on the rising cancer rates. And of course fixing these things would also be a major part of the treatment. He's really doing legendary work. So without further ado, here's professor Seyfried.

Show Notes

  • Dr. Thomas Seyfried believes cancer is a metabolic disease, not a genetic disease and explains in simple terms why that is
  • The mitochondria in your cells make energy (ATP)
  • There's 2 types of energy: ancient energy which is a fermentation metabolism which means you can make energy without oxygen, or respiration where you make energy from breathing air
  • Cancer cells ferment - therefore they don't use oxygen
  • Not all cancer cells have genetic mutations, but all cancer cells ferment
  • The mitochondrial metabolic theory says that the organelle that makes energy from respiration is defective, forcing the cell to ferment. When the cell ferments, mutations collect in the nucleus
  • This means the genetic mutations seen in cancer cells come from a downstream effect of disruption of energy metabolism
  • The cancer cell has to consume a large amount of glucose and the amino acid glutamine in order to survive on a fermentation metabolism
  • On the other hand, normal cells use oxygen and very little amounts of glucose
  • This should make sense to a lot of people because they've probably heard cancer cells need a lot of glucose and if you starve them of that they die
  • Have to re-emphasize the fact that the DNA damage comes as a downstream effect
  • Damaged mitochondria, instead of making ATP, make Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) or oxidative stress (which causes a lot of problems in our body)
  • The oxidative stress also causes damage to the nucleus and the genome
  • The field of cancer research studies effects instead of causes
  • We're not treating cancer by looking at the root cause - it's absurd - how would we ever cure it?
  • This is supported by thousands of experiments and studies
  • Obvious step to treat cancer is to deprive the cancer cells of glucose and glutamine and transition healthy cells into the use of ketones which they can readily use
  • We evolved as a starving creature and convert fatty acids into ketones and usable forms of energy
  • Cancer cells can't use ketones
  • There's no dietary way to restrict glutamine to the cancer cells so drugs have to be used
  • Basically nobody he's heard of is treating it this way
  • If it's so clear this is how cancer works, why has this not reached the mainstream?
  • The Federal government puts out websites saying cancer is genetic, medical schools teach it's genetic, leading cancer clinics tell patients it's genetic
  • Entrenched beliefs continue this. Also funding money is all based around the genetic theory
  • If you look at the mitochondria of any cancer cell under an electron microscope you can easily see the damage to the organelles and mitochondria
  • Cancer is a result of the industrialization as a society
  • Cancer is so rare throughout history or with non-industrialized societies they don't even have the word for it in their language
  • Cancer comes from all kinds of things like pollution, chemicals, radiation, hypoxia, infections, chronic inflammation, even some rare inherited diseases like BRCA1 (but it has to damage the mitochondria)
  • These are all secondary - the root cause is damage to the respiration
  • Obese people have higher rates of cancer and also higher inflammation (measured by C reactive protein)
  • To avoid cancer it's as simple as avoiding diets and lifestyles that risk damage to the mitochondria
  • Metabolic therapies need to at least be options for people
  • Problem is doctors aren't aware of them or aren't trained on them
  • Therapeutic ketosis is a medicine - it's different than just a diet (which is a turn-off to a lot of medical professionals)
  • There's therapeutic weight loss and toxic weight loss
  • Using a suite of therapies to cure cancer including ketogenic metabolic therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy
  • Hyperbaric oxygen creates reactive oxygen species that kills cancer cells but healthy cells using ketones are protected from oxidative stress and are fine
  • Burning ketones creates less ROS (which is a good thing) and is why many people without cancer eat a ketogenic diet
  • ROS damages tissues and is why you age
  • He published the glucose-ketone index calculator
  • People need to realize sweets are a treat once in awhile - not an everyday thing
  • The food industry has played into our ancient desires for sweet
  • Otto Warburg studied cancer in the early 1900s
  • He found that cancer cells would grow in an 100% oxygen environment - they continue to ferment and create lactic acid
  • Because their mitochondria are defective they can't switch back to oxidative phosphorylation
  • He recently published a paper filling in the gaps from Otto Warburg's work
  • Missing link was the glutamine that cancer cells can also use
  • Have to pulse the glutamine so the immune system can do it's job and clear out the dead cells
  • He's developed the press-pulse system in his lab to attack tumors strategically
  • Almost there with dosage, timing, and schedule - when done with this will have the pathway to resolution
  • He's having trouble getting funding for this for some reason
  • One problem is people have created separate little communities and foundations around their specific type of cancer even though they all have the common metabolic foundational problem
  • People are going to have to participate in the management of their disease and the culture of the diseases has to change
  • Another problem is the high cost of these standard therapies - people have to pay $400k
  • His paper looking at research conducted on cancer https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3941741/
  • If you take a normal cytoplasm and implant a nucleus with a tumor you get normal cells. But if you implant a normal nucleus to a cell with damaged cytoplasm, you get more tumor cells. This shows it's the damaged mitochondria in the cytoplasm, not the DNA in the nucleus
  • The wheelchair doesn't cause your legs to not work
  • Needle biopsies are putting people at risk and are pointless
  • He calls this general misunderstanding of cancer the biggest tragedy in the history of medicine
  • What do critics of his views say? They try to create doubt
  • They rely on private funding and some great organizations supporting this research
  • Travis Christofferson's foundation https://foundationformetaboliccancertherapies.com
  • His book Tripping Over the Truth https://www.amazon.com/Tripping-over-Truth-Overturning-Entrenched/dp/1603587292/
  • Dr. George Yu's foundation https://yufoundation.org
  • Presentation by Dr. Seyfried https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APwnkpD_BfI&frags=pl%2Cwn

Part 209 - Ana Rosa, MD, PhD on The Hidden Fat That's Killing You

Ana Rosa, MD, PhD is a physician, Radiologist, Body fellowship trained, alumni of the University of Minnesota, medical doctor at the VA healthcare system, and assistant professor at the University of Minnesota. Dr. Rosa has done two radiology residencies, one in Brazil, and one in the United States, obtained a doctorate degree, had done a body imaging fellowship, and also has published in medical journals and helped writing Imaging books in Brazil with 25 years of practice in the Imaging field as a Radiologist. Dr. Rosa shares with us her imaging knowledge of visceral fat, the importance of its detection and description in the reports, guiding the patients and the ordering providers by the findings on cross-section imaging such as MRI scans. The podcast intention is to bring awareness on how to detect a simple and easy biomarker such as visceral fat on MRI scans making it easier for patients to advocate for health and follow up for results. Dr. Rosa shares with us how to create quality of care in service for education and interaction between patients, providers and Radiologists in sharing her own story on how to heal from inside out by literally "seeing" a "silent" metabolic active killer that visceral fat represents and taking action to change the presence status quo And move towards optimizing health. SHOW NOTES (06:37) In medical school, healthcare professionals are trained to describe diseases while overlooking how visceral fat and metabolic health contributes to them. (15:52) Visceral fat is a major culprit when it comes to various metabolic issues. (28:04) The first step to prevent disease is to look for signs of inflammation. (31:17) While it's possible to request your MRI scan from your doctor, most providers won't know how to make use of it. (44:02) Health is not limited to staying alive. Health is also appearance and performance. (53:58) For doctors, another benefit of learning to deal with patients carrying high amounts of visceral fat is potentially minimizing burnout.

(22:32) The mental health crisis came as a result of being unhealthy in general. (28:12) When you eat organ meat, you take in a lot of serine. (34:34) Another practice within these indigenous cultures is that there is no trading of food, meaning everything eaten is native. Their food is also traditionally processed. (45:25) You don't need to completely remove plants from your diet, but gravitate towards those that you enjoy eating and have been properly prepared to minimize toxicity. (53:12) When optimizing your nutrition, don't focus on achieving balance. Focus on avoiding deficiencies. (1:08:42) There are different levels of nutritional knowledge. (1:21:17) The concept of "Blue Zones" as presented in the mainstream is largely misrepresented.

Part 205 - Dave Feldman on The Amazing Study of Fit People w/ High LDL Cholesterol

Dave Feldman is an independent researcher and software engineer who has gained notoriety for his work on cholesterol and lipid metabolism, particularly in the context of low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets. Coming from a background in software engineering, Feldman took a systems engineering approach to understanding cholesterol, creating what he calls the "lipid energy model." He has presented his findings at various medical conferences and is a frequent guest on health and wellness podcasts. Although not a credentialed medical professional, Feldman's citizen science has challenged traditional views on cholesterol, encouraging more nuanced discussions around its role in health. His work has captivated a large following of both laypeople and experts interested in the complexities of lipidology. http://CholesterolCode.com BUY THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post SHOW NOTES: (4:18) A study on the Lipid Energy Model (LEM) (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35629964/) may explain why cholesterol increases in those who decide to consume fat for energy over carbs. (12:46) The status of your metabolic health influences how a particular diet affects your health, no matter the diet. (20:42) HDL at 50 or higher and triglycerides at 100 or lower are good benchmarks to strive for. (36:19) Multiple studies demonstrate that, if you take 100 random people in the same demographic with 0 risk factors, 60 male and 40 female, a little more than half of them would have 0 CAC. (44:07) Dave's ongoing companion study (follow updates at https://citizensciencefoundation.org/) running parallel to the main study features a control group with more relaxed criteria. (52:03) If we had more data on healthy populations, a clearer path towards a healthy way of life will be achieved (59:40) Visit (https://ownyourlabs.com/) which is both a blood testing service and a hub to participate in citizen science.

Gabor is a food scientist with a master's in molecular biology. He lives in Hungary and is one of these engineers/scientists who I love talking to who look at nutrition differently. He has a very unique perspective because he worked for big food manufacturers. He spends almost all of his free time researching this stuff to help people understand how bad these processed foods actually are. He has a large community on Facebook where he shares and discusses this information. He also has some great presentations he's done you can find online.

(14:56) Adipose tissue is a question of function over mass. (23:53) We are adaptive organisms. (31:04) Accelerated Appearance and Absorption (AAA) takes place when your small intestinal tract is filled too quickly with ultra-processed foods (refined carbs and/or added fats). (41:03) Processed proteins are nowhere near as unhealthy as processed carbs. (55:40) Overeating doesn't necessarily equal gaining weight, and vice versa. (58:36) Adipogenesis is the generation of more fat mainly through the addition of new fat cells. (1:09:19) In general, metabolic health is a good marker of future health outcomes. (1:17:58) A diet rich in refined carbohydrates and added fats leads to the production of endotoxins that are easily absorbed. (1:27:46) Visceral fat is a protective mechanism.

Part 203 - Dr. Joel Kahn Thinks You Should Go Vegan

Dr. Joel Kahn is a cardiologist, integrative medicine practitioner and promoter of plant-based nutrition. Having practiced traditional cardiology since 1983, it was only after his own commitment to a plant based vegan diet that he truly began to delve into the realm of non-traditional diagnostic tools, prevention tactics and nutrition-based recovery protocols. These ideologies led him to change his approach and focus on being a holistic cardiologist. https://www.drjoelkahn.com/ GET THE MEAT NosetoTail.org Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post SHOW NOTES (16:52) According to Dr. Khan, if you suffer from heart disease, consider a plant-based diet based on science. (20:38) We start to develop atherosclerosis in our 20s and 30s. (31:00) We have more than enough data that a human can live through their reproductive years on a huge variety of diets. (47:08) To assess whether or not you're on the right path, assess your own cardiovascular status. (59:54) 30-40% of heart attacks, strokes, and early deaths are due to genetic factors, completely regardless of nutrition and lifestyle. (1:09:50) Examine whether or not your lifestyle is working for you. Don't just assume it is.
