This is Thomas Seyfried.

He's a scientist who's dedicated 30+ years to researching cancer.

His message? Cancer IS preventable.

It's caused by lifestyle factors, not genetics.

Here are Seyfried's 7 MOST important rules for preventing cancer:

7. Maintain stable blood sugar levels.

Glucose & insulin spikes can feed cancer cells.

Seyfried emphasizes the importance of keeping blood sugar levels stable by avoiding:

• Sugar
• Refined carbs
• Processed foods

Diets high in sugar can also lead to chronic inflammation & increase the risk of cancer development.

6. Ketogenic Diet.

Seyfried advocates for a ketogenic diet:

• High-fat
• Moderate-protein
• Low-carbohydrate

This diet shifts the body from using glucose as its primary energy source to burning fat & ketones.

Since cancer cells primarily rely on glucose for growth...

Limiting glucose starves cancer cells & supports metabolic health.

Foods you'd consume on this diet:

• Nuts
• Olive oil
• Avocados
• Low-carb vegetables
• Lean proteins (Ex. fish)

5. Reduce Inflammation.

Chronic inflammation is linked to cancer.

Seyfried advises adopting an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, which includes:

• Avoiding processed foods & sugar
• Consuming anti-inflammatory foods (turmeric, fatty fish, green tea, etc)
• Reducing stress through things like meditation, deep breathing & proper supplements

4. Fasting.

Seyfried is a big advocate for both intermittent fasting & longer-term fasting.

Fasting reduces blood glucose & enhances ketone production...

Which cancer cells cannot efficiently use.

This helps inhibit their growth & promotes autophagy (the body’s process of cleaning out damaged cells).

3. Reduce Stress.

Chronic stress damages the mitochondria & increases inflammation in the body.

As we've learned...

These 2 are major drivers for causing cancer.

Reducing stress can look like:

• Meditation/breathwork
• Prioritizing rest & recovery
• Taking natural supplements (L-theanine, Cordyceps mushrooms, etc)

Here's a video of myself & my partner explaining the dangers of stress:

2. Regular exercise.

Seyfried emphasizes regular exercise as VITAL for preventing cancer by:

• Improving mitochondrial function
• Lowering blood sugar and inflammation
• Supporting autophagy to clear damaged cells

Here are some forms of exercise anyone can do:

• Walking
• Swimming
• Strength training

Any form of movement is better than none.

Simply moving your body daily is the goal.

1. Prioritize sleep.

Sleep is when our body recovers & heals itself.

Especially our mitochondria.

The better & the more sleep we get, we better our body is able to do this.

Which means it's absolutely vital for preventing metabolic damage & cancer.

Here are 4 sleep hacks from Dr. Eric Berg:

Young adult cancers are up 79% in the last 10 years.

People's genetics didn't suddenly get that much worse...

So it must be related to our lifestyles:

• Processed foods
• Too much sugar
• Being sedentary

It's up to us to fight back.

Don't become a victim of the American Healthcare system.

I'm looking to help 5 men:

• Burn fat
• Build muscle
• Get into the best shape of their life

All based on personal labs.

No guesswork.
