  • Targeting Cancer Metabolism: The Future of Oncology | Dr. Tomás Duraj | The Metabolic Link Ep. 61
    Feb 11 2025

    What if we could target cancer at its metabolic core? In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Dominic D’Agostino is joined by Dr. Tomás Duraj, a physician and cancer metabolism researcher working alongside Dr. Thomas Seyfried.

    Dr. Duraj is the lead author of a groundbreaking review on ketogenic metabolic therapy for glioblastoma, bringing together leading experts to explore how metabolic strategies could reshape cancer treatment.

    In this deep-dive conversation, they discuss the bioenergetics of cancer, the role of mitochondria, the Warburg effect, and why targeting glucose and glutamine metabolism may be the key to making standard cancer therapies more effective.

    Whether you’re a researcher, clinician, or someone interested in the latest advancements in cancer therapy, this episode is packed with insights that could redefine the way we think about cancer treatment.

    Can a ketogenic diet revolutionize the management of type 1 diabetes? In this episode of The Metabolic Link, Dr. Ian Lake, a UK-based physician and type 1 diabetes advocate, shares his personal and professional journey in using low-carb and ketogenic diets to improve metabolic control.

    Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 36, Dr. Lake initially followed conventional high-carb recommendations—until he discovered the power of nutritional ketosis. He breaks down how reducing insulin volumes, optimizing glucose levels, and becoming fat-adapted transformed his health and life.

    From running 700 miles while following a ketogenic diet to leading type 1 diabetes retreats, Dr. Lake shares actionable insights on metabolic flexibility, insulin sensitivity, and the real-world implications of a ketogenic approach.
