We are a group of enthusiastic medicine students who want to support Prof. Seyfried! Because he never really asks for money… but we know he needs it!
That’s why we created this channel: To spread his word and give you the opportunity to give to his research in a lot of different ways! We will post all the newest videos by him in one place, make special edits, post stuff from collegues in the keto-cancer field as well and we will produce audiobooks of his work!
You can support him in multiple ways:
– Donate to his research directly at https://foundationformetaboliccancertherapies.com
– Buy his scientific book: https://www.amazon.com/Cancer-Metabolic-Disease-Management-Prevention/dp/0470584920/ref=27rnfsd39kh
– Buy his summary book: https://www.amazon.com/Summary-Metabolic-Management-Prevention-Christofferson/dp/B08DV572GR/ref=27rnfsd39kh

Or: You can also become a Patreon of ours, for only 1$: https://www.patreon.com/Dr_Thomas_Seyfried
That way, you automatically donate to Dr. Seyfrieds research each month, we do that for you. We post the donation screenshot at Patreon as proof.
Also, there are a lot of perks you will love, like listing your name in the videos or giving you access to Audiobooks of Dr. Seyfried’s work

Despite modest advances in the standard of care, malignant cancers persist as a major disease of morbidity and mortality in children and adults. Emerging evidence suggests that cancer is more of a mitochondrial metabolic disease than a disease of the nuclear genome (somatic mutation theory). As a metabolic disorder involving the dysregulation of respiration, malignant cancer can be managed through changes in metabolic environment. In contrast to most normal cells, which transition to ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate) for respiratory energy when glucose levels are reduced, malignant tumors are heavily dependent on energy production through non-oxidative substrate level phosphorylation. This dependence is due largely to structural and functional abnormalities in mitochondria according to the Warburg theory of cancer. Glucose and glutamine are major fuels for malignant cancer cells. The transition from glucose to ketone bodies as an energy source is an ancestrally conserved adaptation to food deprivation that permits the survival of normal cells during extreme shifts in nutritional environment. Only those cells with a flexible genome, honed through millions of years of environmental forcing and variability selection, can transition from one energy state to another. We propose a different approach to cancer management that exploits the metabolic flexibility of normal cells at the expense of the genetically defective and metabolically challenged tumor cells. This evolutionary and metabolic approach to cancer management is supported from studies in orthotopic mouse brain tumor models and from case studies in patients with brain cancer. Calorie restriction and restricted ketogenic diets (R-KD), which reduce circulating glucose levels and elevate ketone levels, are anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, and pro-apoptotic towards malignant brain tumor cells. The efficacy of some anti-cancer drugs and non-drug therapies (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can be enhanced when administered together with the R-KD.
What is Age Management Medicine?
Age Management Medicine is a proactive, preventive approach focused on preservation of optimum human function and quality of life, making every effort to modulate the process of aging prior to the onset of degenerative aging. The basic tenets of Age Management Medicine are patient evaluation through extensive medical history, lifestyle assessment, physical examination and laboratory evaluation to establish personalized proactive treatment plans consisting of proper diet, exercise, stress management and appropriate medical interventions.
About AMMG
It is the goal of the Age Management Medicine Group (AMMG) to provide education and information on the specialty of Age Management Medicine to physicians and healthcare professionals through evidence-based, continuing medical education conferences, workshops, seminars, publications and Web media. The Group consists of leading industry healthcare professionals, physicians, practitioners, researchers, medical
associations and providers of products and services.
