How To Crack The Cancer Code, Beat Genetics, and Stop Cancer Before It Starts with Dr. Jason Fung

Today we speak to Dr. Jason Fung, a nephrologist and
world-renowned expert on fasting.  We discuss his book, The
Cancer Code, a departure from traditional medical approaches
which view cancer as a series of genetic mutations, or
unregulated growth.  We aim to answer the question What
Exactly Is Cancer? Why does it occur in every cell of the body
and how is it found in all mammals, and species other than our
own?  We explore the shortcomings of the somatic mutation
theory and present a new evolutionary paradigm for cancer - that
it is a return to an earlier form of cells.  We explore the
differences between multicellular organisms and unicellular
organisms and the hallmarks that cancer shares with each. 
We discuss the Warburg effect and cancer’s seemingly bizarre
preference for glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen. 
We also explore how lactic acid production may lend an
evolutionary advantage to the progression of cancer. We overlay
genetic mutations with environmental contributions- the seed
(genetic) and the soil (environment) as an explanation for how
cancer can grab hold and become metastatic.  We finish
talking about solutions we can all use through dietary
modifications including fasting, improving glucose control, and
insulin sensitivity.  Share this episode far and wide for
anyone you think will benefit from this potentially life-saving
information.  Loving the show? Please rate and leave us a
