Is Cancer Really a Metabolic Disease? An Interview with Dr. Thomas Seyfried

In this thought-provoking episode, James Templeton interviews Dr. Thomas Seyfried, a professor of biology, genetics, and biochemistry at Boston College, and the groundbreaking author of “Cancer as a Metabolic Disease.” Dr. Seyfried shares his revolutionary perspective that cancer originates in the mitochondria as a metabolic disease, not a genetic one. Discover how this paradigm-shifting theory has sparked new approaches to preventing and managing cancer, focusing on targeting cancer’s primary fuel sources—glucose and glutamine—and exploring non-toxic therapies like the ketogenic diet. With over 150 peer-reviewed publications to his name, Dr. Seyfried explains how his research could transform our understanding of cancer treatment and prevention. Tune in for an eye-opening conversation on the future of cancer research and the potential to redefine how we battle this devastating disease.
