Dr. Lena Suhaila, ND, FABNO explains the metabolic science behind keto for cancer, what the research shows, how to start, and includes recipes and references.

Cancer cells carry several times more insulin receptors than healthy cells. Dr. Lena Suhaila ND FABNO on food as primary therapy in cancer care.

Cancer cells run on a different fuel system, and ketogenic diets exploit that vulnerability. The cellular biology, the Warburg effect, and what the mechanism means.

Cancer cells are voracious consumers of glucose. If your oncologist has never discussed your fasting insulin or blood sugar regulation as part of your cancer care, here is what the research says and why it matters.

Most cancer care targets the tumor. The metabolic approach asks what allowed the tumor to take hold in the first place. Here’s what integrative oncology actually addresses - cellular energy, insulin dynamics, mitochondrial function, and the nervous system - and why the terrain that made cancer possible is the same terrain that shapes recovery.

You’ve probably heard the phrase “sugar feeds cancer” and wondered if it’s actually true. The core of it is real, and understanding why is one of the most empowering things you can do when you’re navigating a diagnosis. Here’s what’s actually happening inside your body, in plain language, and what you can do about it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
