Jean-Pierre Spinosa, MD
Physician
As a specialist in gynecology, gynecologic oncology and breast cancer management including surgery, I support fasting and ketogenic diet approach for a wide range of metabolic health conditions of my patients. For example, a recent review paper I co-authored (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnut.2020.00021/full) highlights as an emerging evidence that a correct and well-formulated ketogenic metabolic therapy could be helpful as a complementary pre-surgical and post-surgical approach for women with all stages of breast cancer, even metastatic disease. KD reduces glucose availability to cancer cells, systemic inflammation, and, with other biochemical mechanisms, enables the targeting of cancer cells without causing damage to normal cells. A KD may also improve progression-free and overall survival for most breast cancer patients.
