Martha Tettenborn RD is a Registered Dietitian and certified Primal Health Coach with over 30 years of experience working in various areas of nutrition. Her private health coach practice, The Cancer Doula, promotes a low-carb, whole-food-based approach to disease prevention and cancer symptom management. When diagnosed with Stage 1 ovarian cancer, Martha began exploring the research of the disease and discovered the science of cancer metabolism. This led her to develop and use a protocol of ketogenic diet with targeted therapeutic fasting to significantly impact her response to chemotherapy. Inspired by her own journey, Martha wants to help others see cancer differently – as an experience that will give you strength, wisdom, and more love for your body and life than ever before.A few highlights from the show:1. Cancer does not burn fuel in the same way healthy cells do.2. Cancer cells are hungry all the time. Fasting can stress cancer cells.3. Metabolism = Fueling = Food4. Love your body!Follow and learn more about Martha at:https://www.marthatettenborn.com/ (A link to the book Hacking Chemo can be found on the website.)https://www.facebook.com/Hacking-Chemo-Using-Nutrition-to-Journey-through-Cancer-362100501250902/About Me:In 2011, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, out of the blue.
