A Step-By-Step Break Down of Dr. Thomas Seyfried's Radical & Controversial Protocol to Starving Cancer

This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, Maui Nui, and Lumebox. We’ve heard about Dr. Thomas Seyfried’s groundbreaking research and approach to cancer as a disease of metabolic dysfunction. Today’s guest was inspired by Dr. Seyfried’s metabolic approach and conducted his own research on brain cancer cells using ketone-based metabolic therapy and hyperbaric oxygen. His findings were mind-blowing! Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dr. Dominic D’Agostino to discuss his extensive research on brain cancer cells placed in ketosis and under the pressure of hyperbaric oxygen. Dr. D’Agostino shares why his findings provide further insight into the idea that cancer cell growth can be metabolically managed. He also discusses how exercise and a low-carbohydrate diet can be used as metabolic therapies to reduce cancer risk. Dr. D’Agostino shares the critical tests we should focus on to assess our metabolic health and the essential supplements that can support ketosis.  Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is an Assistant Professor at the University of South Florida College Of Medicine, Molecular Pharmacology & Physiology, where he develops and tests metabolic therapies, including alternative energy substrates and ketogenic agents for neurological disorders, cancer, and wound healing. While studying the effects of gasses on the brains of Navy Seal divers, he developed an approach for metabolically starving cancer cells through diet and compressed oxygen, replacing chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation.   In this episode, Dhru and Dr. D’Agostino dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): The most innovative approaches to cancer (00:00:11 / 00:00:11)  The metabolic approach to cancer (1:30/1:30) Using the hyperbaric approach in cancer patients (13:00/ 9:03) The results of Dr. A’gostino’s studies on mice (17:00 / 13:50) How this research translates to patients (22:00 / 18:05) Why a ketogenic diet can be therapeutic (37:00 / 32:04) The role of exercise in cancer prevention (53:00 / 46:35) What lifestyle factors should we be doubling down on for prevention (55:00 / 50:14) Dr. D’Agostino’s thoughts on a low carbohydrate diet (1:01:00 / 56:30) The therapeutic benefits of ketosis (1:11:00 / 1:06:40) Supplements that can support ketosis (1:19:00 / 1:12:43) How to measure for ketosis (1:24:00 / 1:18:30) Checking the status of your metabolic health (1:26:00 / 1:21:30) Where to find community (1:34:00 / 1:28:16) Also mentioned in this episode: Keto Start Donate to the University of Florida (Metabolic Therapy and Cancer Research #250244) Levels  To learn more about Dr. D’Agostino, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, or his website.  Right now, get 40% off your Cozy Earth sheets.

This episode is brought to you by Birch Living, Lifeforce, and Plunge.  We’ve heard of tests that are used as traditional measures of longevity. Still, a lesser-known but equally important test that should be factored into longevity and long-term independence is VO2 max. This test measures how well your body uses oxygen during exercise, which ultimately translates into how efficiently your body uses oxygen in daily activities as you age. According to today’s guest, increasing VO2 max can significantly reduce your risk of all-cause mortality.  Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Andy Galpin to dive deep into VO2 max and why he believes it is one of the best predictors of longevity. Dr. Galpin breaks down the research behind this test and why it's critical for everyone to know their VO2 max baseline. He also shares why a low VO2 max can cause chronic fatigue, making it challenging to engage in daily activities, and shares his top tips on increasing your VO2 max if you are starting your exercise journey. If you are looking for a deep dive into VO2 Max, this episode is a must-listen.  Andy Galpin is a tenured professor at California State University, Fullerton. He is the Co-Director of the Center for Sport Performance and Founder/Director of the Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory. He is a Human Performance scientist with a PhD in Human Bioenergetics and over 100 peer-reviewed publications and presentations. He is also a Co-founder of Absolute Rest, BioMolecular Athlete, and RAPID Health & Performance.   In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Galpin dive into (audio version / Apple Subscriber version): Why VO2 max is a critical factor in longevity (1:05 / 1:05) What is VO2 max and getting your baseline (10:00 / 7:05) Challenges with daily activities that demonstrate a low VO2 max (18:00 / 14:56) Stimulants and the cycle of fatigue (26:00/ 23:07) The impact of diet on energy (27:00 / 24:33) Are smartwatches accurate in calculating VO2 max (32:00 / 26:44) Methods of testing your VO2 max and guidance on choosing the right test (34:00 / 29:50) Average and optimal VO2X max levels (39:00 / 34:05) Increasing your levels and the impact on longevity (47:00 / 42:07) How to get started in improving your levels (49:00 / 44:53) How often should you test (55:00 / 50:22) Also mentioned in this episode: Dr. Galpin’s Published Work RAPID Health Absolute Rest To learn more about Dr. Galpin, follow him on Instagram, Twitter, or his website.  To get 20% off your Birch Living mattress plus two free eco-rest pillows, head over to birchliving.com/dhru today.
