What if cancer isn't just genetic — but deeply connected to your metabolism and your body's ability to manage infections?

If you're struggling with insulin resistance, fatigue, weight gain, or inflammation, this conversation will connect important dots. You'll learn how glucose, insulin, and mitochondrial dysfunction create an internal environment where both infections and cancer can thrive. Most importantly, this episode breaks down practical, foundational steps you can take to shift your metabolic health and support your body's natural defenses. This is about empowerment — not fear — and understanding how your daily choices shape long-term health.
