In this episode we talk about
Dr. Nasha’s personal journey as a cancer survivor, how nutrition
and lifestyle can affect cancer, the role that ketones play in
cancer treatment, why metabolic flexibility is important, and some
advice from Dr. Nasha!
“If I had a dollar for every
person who said ‘I was healthy before I got cancer,’ I would have
retired years ago. There’s no way. You do not go to bed one night…
and wake up with cancer. …There’s something you can do about it way
before.” Dr. Nasha
Winters
Top Takeaways:
- Cancer is on the rise, and our diets and
environments are playing a huge role.
- Sugar, Stress, and Sex (hormones) are the three
S’s that drive cancer production.
- Ketones treat cancer in a shotgun-style
approach, addressing many issues simultaneously in a way modern
pharmaceuticals are not capable of.
- Most
cancers are driven by obesity, even people who appear “thin” can
have organ fat creating the same problems.
Show Notes:
- [5:00] Nasha was born and raised subjected to
dietary and environmental factors that, like so many others of her
generation experienced, left her digestive and hormonal issues from
infancy onward
- [8:00] When her symptoms were not properly
diagnosed, at age 19 Nasha was hospitalized and near death in the
end stages of ovarian cancer.
- [9:30] While at college Nasha discovered
Dr. Otto
Warburg, and
miraculously began recovering from her cancer and
complications.
- [12:00] The physical inability to eat, coupled
with Dr. Warburg’s finding that cancer is
mitochondrial
and not genetic, alerted Nasha to
the power of fasting.
- [14:00] Nasha became vegetarian at age 16 in
response to the cruelty she witnessed of mass-production cattle
farming. Which meant removing any meat from her already
predominantly processed food diet.
- [16:30] Nasha used the Gerson Therapy diet, which gave her body a much-needed break
from sugar and carbohydrates, but still was not sufficient to
repair the damage.
- [19:25] “In 2010, we (my husband and I) went
hard-core keto. And that was a game-changer.”
- [20:15] Nasha and her husband experienced such
profound physical and psychological results from the diet, that
despite an unwelcoming environment at the time from the general
medical community, she began sharing her story of reversing
cancer.
- [25:20] Ketones treat cancer in a shotgun-style
approach, addressing many issues simultaneously in a way modern
pharmaceuticals are not capable of.
- [26:10] Less than 12% of American’s are
metabolically flexible.
- [27:30] The goal of metabolic flexibility is to
change a metabolic signaling system in the body, which makes
healthier cells healthier and unhealthy cells more
vulnerable.
- [31:00] Chemotherapy probably yields its
results, ironically, from the medically induced fasted state most
patients enter in the time around their chemo session. Fasting
alone can yield the same results.
- [36:50] Everyone has cancer cells all the time.
1 in 2 men, and 1 in 2.4 women will be diagnosed with cancer in
their lifetime. Brain cancer and color-rectal cancer are two of the
fastest-growing worldwide for people under the age of
35.
- [40:00] The most metabolically reactive
cancers, meaning sugar intake directly affects them, are breast,
color-rectal, lung, prostate, and gynecological
cancers.
- [40:40] Sugar, Stress, and Sex (hormones) are
the three S’s that drive cancer production.
- [42:30] Dr. Nasha’s book, A Metabolic Approach to
Cancer, helps readers
assess their own exposure and lifestyle in light of cancer
prevention.
- [47:00] Most cancers are driven by obesity,
even people who appear “thin” can have organ fat creating the same
problems.
- [49:45] “If I had a dollar for every person who
said ‘I was healthy before I got cancer’, I would have retired
years ago. There’s no way. You do not go to bed one night… and wake
up with cancer. …There’s something you can do about it way
before…”
- [50:30] Travel is hard on the body, Nasha makes
sure to take Vitamin D3 and fast during travel days.
- [52:30] Dr. Nasha is currently creating her own
research facility.
