‘Starving cancer’ could be key to slowing disease growth


What we eat plays a major role in our health and well-being, especially in the development of chronic disease.

On a recent episode of Dr. Mark Hyman’s podcast, "The Dr. Hyman Show," the physician and Function Health co-founder spoke about how eating habits can change the course of illness.

Podcast guest Dr. Jason Fung, a Canadian physician, author and researcher, joined Hyman to discuss how fasting may help to reverse diseases like cancer.

"The whole idea of fasting is that you're trying to put the body into this sort of regenerative maintenance mode," he said. "Because what we've recognized is … you can go into growth mode, or you can go into sort of this cell maintenance repair mode."
