INSIGHT

Metabolic Inflexibility Is Cancer's Weakness

  • Cancer cells are metabolically inflexible and struggle to switch fuel sources like glucose to ketones.
  • Exploit this weakness by stressing their fuel supply rather than relying on one single diet.
INSIGHT

Mitochondrial Damage Drives Aggressive Growth

  • Damaged mitochondria push cells to rely on glycolysis, producing little energy and driving aggressive growth.
  • This shift makes cancer glucose-hungry and visible on PET scans due to high glucose uptake.
ADVICE

  • These factors cumulatively damage mitochondria and increase cancer risk over decades.
