It may sound strange to hear, but cancer actually has a purpose in the human body. And there are many theories on the origins and role of cancer. Theories related to fungus overgrowth, to oxygenation, to immune function, and many others. Researchers have been furiously searching to find the cure for cancer for decades, but not coming to grips with\\xa0what\\xa0cancer really is and where it all begins.

Understanding the role that cancer actually plays, and what the body is doing when it sparks the life of cancer cells is vital to overcoming this epidemic. If we search deep enough, like we are finally able to do today, we see that cancer is actually tied intimately to one of the fundamental processes that give you life, and that\\u2019s the process of making\\xa0energy.

The remarkable New York Times bestselling author Dr. Joseph Mercola is on the show today to share with you how the causes of cancer are related to your metabolism. You\\u2019ll learn how these microscopic energy power plants in your cells called\\xa0mitochondria\\xa0are the key to healing your metabolism, reversing and preventing cancer, and helping you to live a long, healthy life. Dr. Mercola is one of my go-to resources for health information, and I\\u2019m truly excited to have him on the show to share this with you today!

In this episode you\'ll discover:

  • What simple principle inspired Dr. Mercola to shift his focus to more natural medicine.
  • Why reversing cancer begins with healing the\\xa0metabolism.
  • How much of your\\xa0bodyweight\\xa0is actually mitochondria.

  • What the potential pitfall can be from using a ketogenic diet long-term.
