One of the most downloaded episodes in Health Confidential history is back.
For decades, we've been taught that cancer is primarily a genetic disease—a consequence of damaged DNA and genetic mutations.
But what if that isn't the whole story?
In this episode, I sit down with internationally renowned cancer researcher Dr. Thomas Seyfried, whose work has challenged conventional thinking by proposing that cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disease. His research has sparked worldwide discussion about the role of cellular metabolism, mitochondrial function, and the biological conditions that may contribute to the development and progression of cancer.
Together, we explore one of the biggest questions in medicine:
Have we been looking at cancer through the wrong lens?
In this episode, we discuss:
Whether you're a healthcare professional, someone navigating a cancer diagnosis, or simply curious about emerging scientific perspectives, this conversation will challenge assumptions and encourage you to think more deeply about one of medicine's most important questions.
