Killing and Starving Cancer Cells Using the Power of Ketogenic Diets, Metabolic Therapies, and Hyperbaric Oxygen Combined with Standard of Care with Dominic D'Agostino, Ph.D.
This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Maui Nui, and Lumebox.\n\nWe\u2019ve heard about Dr. Thomas Seyfried\u2019s groundbreaking research and approach to cancer as a disease of metabolic dysfunction. Today\u2019s guest was inspired by Dr. Seyfried\u2019s metabolic approach and conducted his own research on brain cancer cells using ketone-based metabolic therapy and hyperbaric oxygen. His findings were mind-blowing!\nToday on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Dominic D\u2019Agostino to discuss his extensive research on brain cancer cells placed in ketosis and under the pressure of hyperbaric oxygen. Dr. D\u2019Agostino shares why his findings provide further insight into the idea that cancer cell growth can be metabolically managed. He also discusses how exercise and a low-carbohydrate diet can be used as metabolic therapies to reduce cancer risk. Dr. D\u2019Agostino shares the critical tests we should focus on to assess our metabolic health and the essential supplements that can support ketosis.\xa0\n\nDr. Dominic D\u2019Agostino is an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida College Of Medicine, Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology, where he develops and tests metabolic therapies, including alternative energy substrates and ketogenic agents for neurological disorders, cancer, and wound healing. While studying the effects of gasses on the brains of Navy Seal divers, he developed an approach for metabolically starving cancer cells through diet and compressed oxygen, replacing chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation.\xa0\xa0\n\nIn this episode, Dhru and Dr. D\u2019Agostino dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version):\n\nThe most innovative approaches to cancer (00:00:11 / 00:00:11)\xa0\n\nThe metabolic approach to cancer (1:30/1:30)\n\nUsing the hyperbaric approach in cancer patients (13:00/ 9:03)\n\nThe results of Dr. A\u2019gostino\u2019s studies on mice\xa0(17:00 / 13:50)\n\nHow this research translates to patients (22:00\xa0/ 18:05)\n\nWhy a ketogenic diet can be therapeutic (37:00 / 32:04)\n\nThe role of exercise in cancer prevention (53:00 / 46:35)\n\nWhat lifestyle factors should we be doubling down on for prevention (55:00 / 50:14)\n\nDr. D\u2019Agostino\u2019s thoughts on a low carbohydrate diet (1:01:00\xa0/ 56:30)\n\nThe therapeutic benefits of ketosis (1:11:00 / 1:06:40)\n\nSupplements that can support ketosis (1:19:00 / 1:12:43)\n\nHow to measure for ketosis (1:24:00 / 1:18:30)\n\nChecking the status of your metabolic health (1:26:00 / 1:21:30)\n\nWhere to find community (1:34:00 / 1:28:16)\n\n\nAlso mentioned in this episode:\n\nKeto Start\n\n\nDonate to the University of Florida (Metabolic Therapy and Cancer Research #250244)\n\nLevels\xa0\n\n\nTo learn more about Dr. D\u2019Agostino, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, or his website.\xa0\n\nRight now, get 40% off your Cozy Earth sheets.
