Cut Calories to Cut Cancer

By Dr. Scott Olson, ND Posted September 22, 2024

Imagine a world where fighting cancer is as simple as changing what’s on your plate.

Sounds too good to be true, right?

Well, I suggest you hold onto your fork, because a groundbreaking “dinner plate” approach to cancer treatment is turning heads in the medical community.

New research reveals how cutting calories could be the key to CUTTING cancer…

A review published in Cell Metabolism has oncologists everywhere rethinking their approach to cancer treatment.

It focused on the fasting-mimicking diet (FMD), and the results were impressive.

Best of all, FMD is brilliantly simple to practice under the supervision of your doctor. The diet temporarily restricts calories and specific nutrients, making cancer cells more vulnerable to treatment while protecting healthy cells.

Scientists have found that FMD…

• directly inhibits cancer cell growth by cutting off their food supply,
• appears to make cancer cells more sensitive to treatments like chemotherapy,
• and boosts your body’s own cancer-fighting immune response.

In other words, something as simple as pushing away your dinner plate could give you a life-saving leg up against this killer.

So, what does this mean for you or your loved ones battling cancer?

These findings aren’t a reason to ditch traditional treatments, of course. But FMD could be a powerful addition to the cancer-fighting toolkit.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Always consult your oncologist before changing your diet or treatment plan.
• FMD isn’t long-term starvation. It’s a carefully controlled, short-term intervention.
• This approach is still being studied, but the early results are incredibly promising.

FMD is a fantastic tool to add to your toolbelt, along with exercise, good sleep, and overall good nutrition.

Because, in this case, LESS really is MORE.

P.S. Sweet cancer breakthrough creates a BUZZ!
