Cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow and multiply without a steady supply of glucose. But after a cancer diagnosis, medical and dietary recommendations from oncology doctors often result in increased blood sugar and insulin levels-the essential elements that cancer cells need to thrive.

Cancer treatment like chemotherapy doesn't have to derail your life. You can be your own bio-hacker by decoding how cancer works in your body...and your life.
In this guide, you'll discover:

"Martha Tettenborn's book stands out as a must-read for anyone about to embark on the journey none of us opt to take: the cancer journey. Clear-headed. Practical. Factual. Spiritual. Martha has woven those attributes into an incredibly engaging account of the steps she took to secure a more active role in her treatment and subsequent healing."
Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS, author of Keto for Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide for Patients and Practitioners
"In this book, Martha Tettenborn has created a scientifically sound call to re-evaluate how we view and look at cancer and associated therapies. A cancer survivor herself, she explains the importance of nutrition in the treatment and prevention of most cancers. This is an important and timely book."
