From Cancer to Clarity: Metabolic Therapies and the 7 Pillars of Health

For decades, we've been told that cancer is primarily a genetic disease, a matter of unlucky mutations that require aggressive pharmaceutical interventions. But what if that's only part of the story? What if cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disease, a disorder of cellular energy production that we can address through diet, lifestyle, and targeted metabolic therapies?

And it's giving patients new hope, and new options, beyond the standard cut, poison, and burn model. Today, I'm thrilled to welcome Dr. Donese Worden to the show. Dr. Worden is a board-certified Naturopathic Medical Doctor, researcher, and global health educator who has dedicated her career to bridging conventional and alternative cancer care. She's collaborated with Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center, served as CEO of Care Oncology, and works directly with Dr. Seyfried on metabolic cancer research. She's also the creator of the 7 Pillars of Health framework, a comprehensive approach to resilience that addresses everything from sleep and gut health to spiritual wellbeing.

Dr. Worden's motto is 'Educate, Empower, Enlighten,' and that's exactly what we're going to do today. We'll explore the metabolic theory of cancer, discuss both prevention and treatment strategies, and give you a roadmap for building resilience at every level.
