Cancer is a huge disease threat in the modern era, and causes untold suffering. Breast cancer is a particularly bad affliction affecting so many women. In today's Podcast Short, I pull up a few scientific studies relating to the matter.  Just as with Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease and many other chronic diseases of modernity, it is more important to focus on Insulin/Glucose dynamics and other measures of metabolic health - rather than just BMI and Obesity...

Dropped in to Amber O'Hearn's https://carnivorycon.com/ and managed to catch up with none other than Mikhaila Peterson. We of course discussed the extraordinary affect that certain elimination diets can have on a range of profound autoimmune illnesses. Yes we're talking about the new kid on the nutritional block - the Carnivore Diet.What struck me most was the logical approach and sheer determination she displayed in decoding the root causes in a highly complex personal situation. This is an incredibly difficult thing to achieve - especially when under the influence of neurological issues related to your condition. In short - amazing stuff.I trust that you will find the conversation as compelling as I did - there is so much we don't know - but then there is what works. And "what works" is of course crucial - when faced with the most severe challenges in your life!
