Episode 5: Eating Away at Cancer
Dr. David Jockers: Absolutely! You know, and you just brought that up
and so just talking about the ketogenic cleanse. I mean it is a fast. And
I’m a big fan of intermittent fasting. it’s something I do every single day.
And I think it’s a critical piece of a cancer killing diet. So for myself--
really when we break down fasting, I want all our listeners to understand
this, I look at a building phase and a cleansing phase. So our building
phase is a time between our first meal of the day and our last meal of
the day. So the typical American they might eat at 8:00 am and finish
eating at 8:00 pm. So it’s about a 12 hour building phase. And the
cleansing phase would be time from our last meal to our first meal.
Okay. That’s like a one-to-one ratio. In our society today we’ve got so
much toxicity that it’s that much more important that we have a greater
cleansing phase than building phase. On top of that, the great thing is
when we’re on this ketogenic diet our hormones become balanced,
insulin and leptin, which is our—its our satiety hormone so it helps us
say that we’re no longer hungry. We’re satisfied. They become very
balanced. Our body becomes very sensitive to it. So we’re really not as
hungry.
And so for myself I like to have anywhere between a 16 to 18 hour and
sometimes even a 24 cleansing phase on a regular basis. Okay. Like
we’re doing this interview here. it’s 11:30 – 12:00, I haven’t eaten
anything yet today. I worked out this morning. And you know what, my
blood sugar is extremely stable. I feel really good. I feel really mentally
clear. Now I’ll typically eat around 1:00 or so and then finish eating by,
let’s say, 6:00 – 7:00. And so that’s really my building phase. And so I’ve
gotten all the nutrients I need but my body’s also been able to really
cleanse and detoxify as I’ve gone through this cleansing phase. And on
the cleansing phase like, for example, the fasting this morning I’ve drank
probably about a half gallon of water so far today. So water is key
because I want to move toxins out of my body. I don’t want them to just
recirculate as they’re being released as my body’s breaking down fat
cells.
And so intermittent fasting is a very, very powerful strategy that’s been
shown to improve brain function, improve lean body tissue so your
percentage of muscle to body fat. it’s been shown to basically to
improve almost every aspect of your health. And so very, very profound
when it comes to killing off cancer cells in your body too. And
sometimes we’ll recommend longer fasts and longer cleanses but I think
something that most people can do unless you have a state of adrenal
exhaustion or extreme adrenal fatigue, which some people do, unless
that’s the case I always highly recommend going on a ketogenic
intermittent fasting lifestyle because of the profound effects it has on
destroying cancer cells in your body, regulating your hormones, and
improving overall brain function. So very profound effects with that.
