Thomas Seyfried has spent 30+ years studying cancer.
His biggest takeaway?
π Most cancer can actually be prevented.
Here are his 7 rules for staying cancer-free:
1. Prioritize Sleep π€
Deep, quality sleep restores your mitochondria, boosts recovery, and protects against metabolic stress that can lead to cancer.
Here are 4 simple sleep hacks (from Dr. Eric Berg) to improve your rest:
2. Move Your Body Daily πββοΈ
According to Dr. Seyfried, regular exercise is one of the best defenses against cancer. It strengthens mitochondria, lowers inflammation, and triggers autophagy (your bodyβs cleanup mode).
Easy ways to stay active:
β’ Walk πΆββοΈ
β’ Swim πββοΈ
β’ Lift weights ποΈββοΈ
The key: consistency over intensity β just move every day.

3. Lower Your Stress Levels π
Chronic stress wrecks mitochondria and fuels inflammation β both linked to cancer.
Simple ways to calm your system:
β’ Meditate or practice breathwork π§ββοΈ
β’ Prioritize quality rest π
β’ Use calming nutrients like L-theanine π΅
4. Practice Fasting β³
Dr. Seyfried recommends both intermittent and extended fasting.
Why it works:
β’ Lowers blood glucose πβ¬οΈ
β’ Raises ketones (fuel cancer cells struggle to use) β‘
β’ Slows cancer growth π
β’ Boosts autophagy β your bodyβs self-cleaning mode π§Ή
Bottom line: Fasting helps starve cancer cells while keeping your healthy cells strong.
5. Fight Inflammation π₯
Chronic inflammation feeds cancer growth. Dr. Seyfried recommends an anti-inflammatory lifestyle:
β’ Skip processed foods & sugar β
β’ Include turmeric, fatty fish, and green tea π΅π
β’ Manage stress with meditation, breathing, or supplements π§ββοΈ
Bottom line: Small daily habits = powerful cancer protection.
6.Ketogenic Diet
Seyfried recommends keto to starve cancer cells of glucose.
Itβs:
β’ High-fat
β’ Moderate-protein
β’ Low-carb
This shifts your body to burn fat and ketones β not sugar, which cancer cells crave.
Eat:
β’ Nuts, olive oil, avocados
β’ Low-carb veggies
β’ Lean proteins like fish
7. Maintain Stable Blood Sugar
High glucose and insulin feed cancer growth. Seyfried advises avoiding:
β’ Sugar
β’ Refined carbs
β’ Processed foods
Stable blood sugar cuts inflammation and lowers cancer risk.
Young adult cancer rates are up 79% in the past decade.
Itβs not genetics β itβs our lifestyle:
β’ Processed foods
β’ Too much sugar
β’ Sedentary living
Take control. Donβt let the system decide your health β fight back.
