Description

Cancer rates have increased exponentially since the early twentieth century, affecting nearly half of the American population. Conventional treatment relies on chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, but research shows that 95% of cancer cases are linked to diet and lifestyle. The Metabolic Approach to Cancer offers an innovative, metabolic-focused nutrition protocol that has shown promising results. Naturopathic oncologist and cancer survivor Dr. Nasha Winters and nutrition therapist Jess Higgins Kelley have identified the ten key elements of a person's "terrain" that are crucial to preventing and managing cancer. These elements, including epigenetics, the microbiome, and toxin exposures, are given a heavily researched and tested, non-toxic and metabolic, focused nutrition prescription. The ketogenic diet, which relies on the body's production of ketones as fuel, is the centerpiece of this approach. By understanding how diet and lifestyle impact cancer, readers can take control of their health and make informed choices about their nutrition. This book provides a comprehensive guide to the metabolic theory of cancer, which suggests that cancer is fueled by high carbohydrate diets, not "bad" genetics.
