his undergrad at University of Michigan, his masters at Columbia.
He has worked for University of Pennsylvania, is currently on the
faculty of the MA in Science Writing and MA in Writing programs

metabolic health. Soon, he will be releasing his brand new book,
Ravenous, which tackles, among others, the subjects of the
Warburg Effect and metabolic health’s relationship to cancer.


In this discussion, Tro, Brian, and Sam talk about the role of
metabolic health in preventing cancer, the effect that
hyperinsulinemia has an cancer growth, the Warburg Effect and the
work of Otto Warburg as it pertains to cancer cell research, how
sugar, stress, and poor sleep habits raise insulin, the
unfortunate lack of emphasis on preventative treatments for
cancer in research, how the rise in cancer diagnoses follows the
same curve as the rise of the western diet, and whether there is
a diet out there that treats cancer.
