The right diet is so imperative in preventing cancer or during the healing process. This is in large part because of the role insulin plays in cancer; insulin acts as a growth factor in the body, which is one of the reasons too much insulin leads to obesity. It’s also why insulin will support the growth of cancer cells.
Dr. Mark Hyman is joined by Dr. William Li and Dr. Jason Fung to discuss how recent research is now revealing the connection between insulin resistance and cancer, what you can eat to prevent cancer, and much more.
Dr. William Li is an internationally renowned physician, scientist and author of one of my favorite books, the New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. His groundbreaking work has led to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments and impacted care for more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease and obesity. His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views. Dr. Li has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, CNBC, Live with Kelly & Ryan and the Dr. Oz Show, and he has been featured in USA Today, Time Magazine, The Atlantic, Parade and O Magazine. He is president and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation and is leading research into COVID-19.
Dr. Jason Fung is a physician, author, and researcher. His groundbreaking science-based books about diabetes and obesity, The Diabetes Code, The Obesity Code, and The Complete Guide to Fasting have sold over one million copies and challenged the conventional wisdom that diabetics should be treated with insulin. Dr. Fung is also the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a program to help people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes naturally with fasting. His latest book, The Cancer Code: A Revolutionary New Understanding of a Medical Mystery, was just released.

Soy, healthy? Polyunsaturated fats, healthy?? Real fats, unhealthy??? Really??? I can go along with eating plants, but there is nothing wrong with healthy fats!
You need to study more to understand what he is implying. I am 18 years old and a armature doctor now by all of the information I have had to learn to reverse damage synthetic pharmaceuticals have done to my body including nervous system, cardiovascular, and GI. Soy isn’t good, sorry to burst your bubble but it’s a hybrid gmo plant that isn’t like others that are beneficial, yes its better than alot, but you have to find what our bodies need. There are 90 essential elements that humans need to survive, majority of individuals are deficient in atleast 1 or 2 vitamins, usually more or overexpressed in our bodies
I grew up in the 1970’s, we would have dinner really early like 5, and then we would never eat after that. And we were healthy, energetic, happy skinny little kids as we should be. Now im 60 years old I still don’t have a weight problem
Also in the 70s, we definitely did not snack. There was no morning snack, but we had really big lunches. Twinkies used to come in two-packs! So along with a sandwich, two twinkies and probably something else. Then we didn’t eat again until dinner, even if we had after-school Sports. We didn’t even think about it
Who is “we”… you speaking for everyone?
Being raised in the 70s WE meaning our family, friends, neighbors, because nobody was fat.
Even being in sports when I got home from school, if I needed something to eat before dinner, it was an apple. We didn’t have a bunch of junk food.
In my home we were allowed to snack after dinner but usually didn’t because we were busy doing other things besides sitting in front of a screen, eating poison and playing video games.
I see way too many younger kids in grade school with fat bellies. So sad that people have to emotionally comfort themselves with unhealthy crap and then teach it to their children.
Food, drugs, alcohol, pick your poison!
Thank you for your work, Dr. Hyman and Dr. Li! What a ministry for the world!
So what is a good insulin level on blood work ? Mine was 4.
Dr. Li is the best…a true pioneer in “Food as Medicine”. GET HIS BOOK!! It’s life- changing.

What about natural sugars like dates and maple syrup? Should those sugars be avoided?
In a word, yes. Eating for example honey is identical in terms of spiking glucose levels to sugar.
Some people add honey to their coffee and tea or use it as a sweetener when baking. But is honey safe for people with diabetes? The short answer is yes, but only under certain conditions.
People living with diabetes have to control and manage their carbohydrate and sugar intake. This doesn’t mean they have to avoid sweets altogether.
In moderation, honey isn’t only safe, but it has anti-inflammatory properties that might also reduce diabetes complications.
Where can i find and make an appointment with Dr Jason fung
I’m going to throw out a concern about the autism conversation. I’m an adult autistic, I’m the mother of nine amazing autistic kids (breastfed, organic fed, etc.,) and most people’s perception of autism (including most doctors) is what autistic people look like when we are in trauma. When we aren’t in trauma… we are the people of whom others say “oh you couldn’t possibly be autistic… you’re just so smart.” Well, autism has a reverse bell curve. About 1/3 or so of us are under the 80 IQ mark…. A smaller amount are in the “normal” IQ range and then the rest are in the 130+ IQ range. But if we are in trauma due to our environment, we can’t access that IQ.
With that out of the way then yes… the foods we eat, the lack of breastfeeding, particularly combined with all the other physical, social, and emotional stressors in the world, can trigger the maladaptive, painful, side of autism.
So you can’t prevent or cure autism… it’s a difference that makes us particularly susceptible to toxins and negative environments. What we can do is change the exposure to those toxins and negative environments and support the ways in which we are inherently different than the neurotypical individuals who are the majority of the population.And that’s where I agree with all of the dietary and environmental interventions … not to prevent or treat autism… but to prevent or treat autistic trauma.
Well said!
Eat more plants so no keto?
