Dr. Thomas Seyfried is a Cancer Biology Researcher, Boston College Professor, and Author of the book "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease."

In this clip, Dr. Seyfried walks us through the history of cancer as a metabolic disease. The story began in the early 1990s when a scientist named Otto Warburg defined the nature of cancer as a disease of mitochondrial function and energy metabolism. Dr. Seyfried and colleagues expanded on this concept by discovering that cancer cells could also thrive by using the amino acid glutamine as fuel, an important missing link in Warburg's central argument, according to Dr. Seyfried.

In the full video, Dr. Seyfried eloquently explains how we think that ketogenic metabolic therapies work in cancer, including how they are being studied for the potential ability to sensitize cancer cells to the standard of care treatments. He also describes the complementary role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and ketogenic therapies in cancer treatment research.

Lastly, Dr. Seyfried describes the experiments that support Warburg's concept, and his evolving understanding of this complex disease. He also discusses the history of cancer as a genetic disease, why he introduced the "Glucose-Ketone Index" as a novel potential tool to monitor ketogenic treatments, and so much more.
