Key Areas of Metabolic Therapy
This section is designed to help you understand metabolic therapy — what it is, how it works, and how different strategies like diet, supplements, and the press-pulse approach fit together.
Everything here is based on scientific research, real-world protocols, and the work of researchers such as Professor Thomas N. Seyfried.
Whether you’re just starting or looking to go deeper, this is where you build your foundation.
The Process
What is Metabolic Therapy
What is Metabolic Therapy
Metabolic therapy is an approach to cancer treatment that focuses on altering the body’s metabolism to limit cancer growth. By targeting the metabolic vulnerabilities of cancer cells, it aims to reduce their access to key fuel sources—such as glucose and glutamine—while supporting the function of normal cells.
Diet
Dietary strategies to influence cancer metabolism and fuel use.
Ketogenics
How ketosis shifts energy metabolism and targets cancer cells.
Supplements
Evidence-based compounds used to support metabolic therapy approaches.
ReDO Project
Repurposed drugs with emerging evidence in cancer treatment.
Exercise
Supporting your body goes beyond just fitness.
Wellbeing
Mental health and stress in cancer care.
Approach
Bringing the steps together into a process for healing.
Science
Understanding cancer metabolism and its biology.
The Press/Pulse Protocol
How does it work?
The Press–Pulse protocol combines sustained and intermittent metabolic stress to disrupt cancer cell metabolism:
Press: Ongoing metabolic pressure, typically through a calorie-restricted ketogenic diet, reduces glucose availability and shifts the body toward ketone use.
Pulse: Short, targeted interventions—such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy or metabolic drugs—apply additional stress to further weaken cancer cells.
