Saturated fats protect against tumor take

What if cancer is a metabolic problem that can be cured? (Instead of a genetic chronic disease)

In this episode, I’m joined by a repeat guest Georgi Dinkov to explore cancer through the lens of cellular energy, metabolism, and mitochondrial function. Instead of framing cancer as a “war” on tumor cells, we discuss a different paradigm: restoring energy, supporting respiration, and addressing systemic metabolic stress.

We cover:

- Cancer as a reversible metabolic problem, rather than a genetic one

- Glycolysis vs oxidative metabolism and why it matters

- CO₂, lactic acid, pH, and mitochondrial health

- Where Georgi’s views differ from mainstream oncology, and even other researchers (like Dr. Seyfried) who view cancer as a metabolic problem

- Georgi's recent surprising research findings and future cancer study directions

- How to support his ongoing work

This conversation challenges conventional narratives and offers a hopeful, systems-based way of thinking about health, disease, and the future of cancer medicine.
