Episode 5: Eating Away at Cancer<br />
and all <strong>the</strong> cells have a double fatty acid layer around every single cell in<br />
your body. And it’s extremely key. It’s called <strong>the</strong> cell membrane. It’s<br />
extremely key for hormonal responses, extremely key for just having<br />
good healthy hormone function, good healthy neurological function in<br />
your system. So <strong>the</strong> communication process between cells is dependent<br />
upon this outer ring of fat. And so we need <strong>the</strong> fats to help replace<br />
those. Also, on top of that, a low fat diet is going to prioritize<br />
carbohydrate. And a carbohydrate breaks down into sugar.<br />
And sugar—when your blood sugar is all over <strong>the</strong> place that really<br />
creates a breeding ground for opportunistic infections, for <strong>cancer</strong> growth<br />
like we’re going to talk <strong>about</strong> later, for all different types of issues. And<br />
so utilizing good fats as your primary energy source helps your body<br />
produce something called ketones and <strong>the</strong>re’s a ketogenic diet and<br />
those ketones actually are a preferred fuel for your body and especially<br />
when it becomes, what we call, keto adapted or fat adapted, where your<br />
body just becomes so good it preferentially uses <strong>the</strong>se fatty acids, <strong>the</strong>se<br />
ketone bodies, your blood sugar stays extremely stable. And that<br />
reduces inflammatory processes in your body. It helps you have better<br />
mental/emotional balance so you think more clearly, have better<br />
memory, your—everything in your life really improves because your<br />
sugar is stable. You don’t have <strong>the</strong>se bumps, <strong>the</strong>se ups and downs, <strong>the</strong><br />
insulin surges. And so your emotions, again, are going to be more<br />
balanced, everything is going to be more balanced. Your body’s going to<br />
be able to handle and tolerate stress more effectively.<br />
And really <strong>the</strong> hallmark of successful aging is being able to adapt<br />
effectively to stress. And so I think a high, good fat diet is really, really<br />
key for that. And so with <strong>the</strong>se low fat diets <strong>the</strong>y really don’t discriminate<br />
between good fats and bad fats. it’s just take all <strong>the</strong> fats out. They really<br />
typically don’t discriminate between types of carbohydrates, although<br />
sometimes <strong>the</strong>y’ll tell you go low glycemic using a lot of whole grains,<br />
things like that. O<strong>the</strong>r people choose <strong>the</strong> high protein diets. But really<br />
protein and <strong>the</strong> carbohydrates both break down into sugar in your<br />
system and that stored sugar will stimulate higher levels of inflammation<br />
in your body. And what we’re trying to do is really control inflammation.<br />
And a high good fat diet really helps with that.<br />
Ty: Inflammation is <strong>the</strong> key<br />
Dr. David Jockers: Yeah<br />
Ty: isn’t it As far as many disease processes <strong>the</strong>y start with<br />
inflammation in <strong>the</strong> cells, don’t <strong>the</strong>y<br />
