Today, I am blessed to have Dr. David Harper here with me. As an educator, researcher, and health consultant, Dr. David Harper has studied the impact of diet on human health for many years. The culmination of that extensive work is the BioDiet, a well-formulated ketogenic plan that works with the body’s natural processes to improve health and reverse decades of damage caused by our collective carbohydrate addiction. Dr. Harper and Dale Drewery adopted the BioDiet in 2012 and the weight loss and health improvements they experienced led him to counsel hundreds of people on the Biodiet with similarly consistent and impressive results. Dr. Harper is an associate professor of kinesiology at the University of the Fraser Valley and a visiting scientist at the BC Cancer Research Center, Terry Fox Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of British Columbia and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in comparative physiology at the University of Cambridge. He is on the scientific advisory board of the Canadian Clinicians for Therapeutic Nutrition and is a member of the Institute for Personalized Therapeutic Nutrition. In this episode, we cover everything from the potential benefits of ketogenic diets for metastatic breast cancer patients to the intricate workings of the immune system and the therapeutic potential of dietary interventions. Dr. Harper's insights provide a fascinating journey through the complex interplay between diet, metabolism, and disease, offering hope and new perspectives on health and wellness. Tune in as we chat about how ketogenic diets offer a promising therapeutic approach for cancer treatment and neurological conditions by moderating glucose levels, promoting mitochondrial turnover, and enhancing cellular health through AMPK activation and arachidonic acid modulation.

This research sheds light on alternative treatment options and highlights the potential of dietary interventions in cancer therapy. Dr. Harper shares a personal connection to cancer, having lost his mother to the disease during his childhood. This personal experience fuels his dedication to cancer research and underscores the widespread impact of cancer on individuals and families. Dr. Harper discusses the ongoing "war on cancer," emphasizing that it is an internal battle within our bodies. This perspective challenges the traditional notion of a war against cancer as an external enemy and underscores the complexity of cancer biology and prevention. [06:45] The Immune System's Role in Disease Dr. Harper outlines the three levels of the immune system: surface barriers, innate immune response, and adaptive immune system. Each level is crucial in identifying and destroying harmful agents, including cancer cells.  Inflammation, mainly through the innate immune response, is intertwined with cancer development. Dr. Harper links chronic diseases like cancer, cardiovascular
