In this final episode of the Nutrition After Breast Cancer: Just the Facts series, we break down ketosis clearly and responsibly.

Ketosis is not a cure for cancer.
It is not a replacement for chemotherapy or radiation.

But research, including the Keto-CARE trial at The Ohio State University and ongoing metabolic oncology work at Boston College, suggests that metabolic ketosis may influence insulin signaling, inflammation, and treatment response.

This is a grounded, research-based conversation designed to help you understand your options without fear or hype.
 

In this episode we cover:

-What metabolic health really means
-The Warburg Effect explained simply
-Ketosis vs ketoacidosis
-How ketones influence inflammation
-How therapeutic ketosis is being studied
-Genetic variants that may affect fat burning
-When ketosis may help
-When caution is needed
