This is Thomas Seyfried.

He’s a professor of biology, who’s studied cancer for 30+ years.

His message? Cancer isn’t bad genes or bad luck—it’s damaged mitochondria.

This flips everything you’ve been told about how to treat & prevent cancer: Image
Image
1/ Cancer rates are on the rise, why?

- 1,676 people die daily from cancer in the U.S.
- Young seemingly healthy people are being diagnosed more often than ever.
- Billions spent, yet the "war on cancer" failed.

Seyfried: We're hitting the wrong target.
2/ Mainstream dogma: "Cancer is a genetic disease caused by DNA mutations.”

Seyfried: Wrong.

DNA damage is a symptom, not cause.

Real cause: Damaged mitochondria

Healthy mitochondria = NO cancer.
3/ Big idea #1: Mitochondria, not the genes, determines if a cell becomes cancerous

When cells can’t make energy with oxygen, they switch to the ancient fermentation pathway.

Cancer thrives by burning glucose & glutamine without oxygen.

Uncontrolled cell growth follows.
4/ Seyfried builds on Otto Warburg’s forgotten theory.

Warburg won the 1931 Nobel Prize in Medicine.

He observed cancer cells ferment sugar even with oxygen (Warburg Effect) and believed cancer was metabolic, not genetic.

Modern science ignored him.

Seyfried didn’t.
5/ Proof from research?

Damaged DNA + healthy mitochondria = NO cancer

Healthy DNA + damaged mitochondria = CANCER

DNA isn't the trigger, it's downstream damage
6/ Research from the visionary biologist Michael Levin supports this:

Cancer is a disease of failed bioelectric signaling, not genes.
•-Suffering with low testosterone

-Low libido

-Less energy levels

-low muscle mass

-No morning wood

7/ Big idea #2: All cancers are one disease: damaged mitochondria.

Yet medicine divides tumors by organs (breast, lung, brain).

We're treating symptoms, not the root cause.
8/ Dr. Jason Fung, MD, author of "The Cancer Code", agrees:

Cancer isn’t just a genetic disease, it’s a disease of bioenergetics.

Standard treatments often fail because they ignore the root cause: dysfunctional metabolism.
9/ “What about BRCA1 and other inherited cancer genes?”
They also connect back to mitochondrial dysfunction.

These genes influence mitochondrial proteins involved in the electron transport chain, which is essential for energy production.

They increase cancer risk but aren’t sufficient to cause it on their own.
10/ What damages mitochondria?

- Ultra-proccessed foods, high carb at wrong seasons
- Insulin resistance
- Chronic inflammation
- Lack of exercise & movement
- Poor sleep
- Chemical toxins, heavy metals, mold
- EMFs (Wi-Fi, 5G)
- Chronic Stress
- Viruses (HPV, Hepatitis)
- Artificial Blue Light
11/ Seyfried’s approach to cancer:

- Get body into nutritional ketosis (Glucose/Ketone Index < 2.0) via ketogenic diet or fasting
- Press glucose & pulse the glutamine with targeted drugs
- Bonus: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
12/ Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

Seyfried sees it as a metabolic add-on.

When used with keto + glucose restriction, HBOT floods tumors with oxygen.

Normal cells benefit from the oxygen boost.

Cancer cells can’t handle the oxidative stress, they get stressed & die.
13/ Seyfried’s bottom line:

You don’t get cancer if your mitochondria is healthy.
Period.
Cancer doesn’t happen overnight, start early, protect your mitochondria to prevent cancer.
14/ Protect your mitochondria to prevent cancer:

- Intermittent fasting / longer water fasting
- High-quality sleep (deep + REM)
- Blue light protection after sunset
- Zone 2 cardio + HIIT
- Strength training
- Cold exposure (showers/plunges)
- Sauna
- Seasonal whole foods
- Eliminate seed oils & ultra-processed food
- Limit alcohol, drugs, smoking
- Daily sunlight exposure
- Grounding (barefoot outdoors)

You don’t need an hour at the gym to transform your body.

Just 10 minutes a day of the right movements can tone your core, relieve pain, and sharpen your brain.

Here are the 7 most powerful moves you can start doing today.🧵 Image
1. The Plank (Phalakasana)

It’s not just a core exercise. It’s a total-body game changer.

Holding a plank strengthens your abs, arms, glutes, and legs.

It also sharpens your focus and posture.

Start with 30–60 seconds. Work up to 2–3 minutes daily. Image
2. Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana)

This move opens the front body and powers up the back.

It stretches the chest and hips while strengthening glutes, back, and hamstrings.

It also boosts blood circulation and helps ease stress and mild depression. Image

She’s reinventing the science of aging.

Meet Julie Clark: the 56-year-old whose biological age clocks in at 36.

She’s outpacing Bryan Johnson, the $2M-a-year biohacker, on a mere $4/day.

Here's her simple anti-aging routine for peak health and lasting longevity: Image
Most people think an anti-aging routine requires high-tech gadgets and fancy supplements.

But Julie proved otherwise.

Her routine costs less than a Starbucks latte while she ranks #2 on the global longevity leaderboard.

Here’s how:
Julie’s mindset? Consistency beats perfection.

She doesn’t obsess over trackers and won’t say no to the occasional donut.

In her words: “Perfection creates pressure. We’re human—life happens. The key is to bounce back and keep going.”

Here’s a look at her daily routine:

Fasting for 72 hours is the best medicine on Earth.

It triggers your body to "eat up" tumors, inflammation, and toxins.

It's literally a doctor within.

Here's how to fast correctly (according to science): Image
Image
Most people think fasting is just about weight loss or giving your digestive system a break.

But the "magic" occurs at the cellular level through autophagy.

This is where your body literally begins to eat itself.

Let me explain:
Autophagy = the cell’s self-cleaning process

When you fast for an extended period, your cells begin to break down and recycle damaged proteins, faulty mitochondria, and even potentially cancerous cells in their early stages.

It’s like your body finally gets a chance to clear out the built-up waste that contributes to inflammation and illness.Image

Meet the 55-year-old man who looks decades younger.

Harvard Genetics Professor, David Sinclair.

The world’s leading anti-aging authority.

Here are his controversial secrets to look younger & extend your life:

1/ Exercise until you’re out of breath Image
Feeling flabby, tired, wrinkly, or saggy? Ain’t nobody got time for that!

Aging is accelerated by these main factors:

• Toxic overload & nutrient deficiencies
• Hormonal disruption
• Gut inflammation
• Poor sleep & recovery
• Lack of exercise
Sinclair argues that moderate, steady-state exercise leaves your body lazy.

So, he insists on pushing yourself to the edge of exhaustion 3 times a week.

Hitting that out-of-breath zone can:

• Build stamina
• Boost circulation
• Release chemicals that combat aging
