The Truth About Ketosis - Breast Cancer and Nutrition, Just the Facts
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
