📣 Rob Harris was a lifetime nonsmoker, metabolically healthy, and doing everything right. Then came the lung cancer diagnosis — metastatic, fast-moving, and devastating. What happened next is a story about what a healthy baseline actually buys you when the unthinkable arrives.
📋 Rob is my dad. He appeared on Episode 6B of Less of Me Success Stories — the predecessor to Ketobiography — and briefly at the end of The Cholesterol Code film. That makes this conversation part of my Cholesterol Code series. This update was a year in the making. We talk about the metabolic foundation Rob built before his diagnosis, what happened when cancer hit hard and fast, how he used targeted therapy, a keto meal replacement, and sheer stubbornness to come back from the edge — and why his oncologist called him a miracle. We also talk about hope: what it does, what losing it looks like, and why it may matter as much as anything else.
