Martha Tettenborn, a registered dietitian and certified primal health coach with over 30 years of experience. She brings a wealth of knowledge to our discussion. Her work in long term care and gerontology, coupled with her personal experience in managing stage one ovarian cancer, has driven her to explore the impact of diet on cancer treatment.
Martha's journey, from her early years motivated by her mother's battle with breast cancer to her own diagnosis and subsequent research into cancer metabolism, has led her to develop a protocol centered around a low carb or ketogenic diet with targeted therapeutic fasting. Her commitment to empowering others facing similar challenges is evident in her book, "Hacking Chemo using ketogenic diet, therapeutic fasting and a kick ass attitude to power through cancer. Martha is also a coach for individuals navigating cancer. Martha's unique perspective and dedication to reshaping the narrative around cancer make her an invaluable resource in the realm of nutrition and cancer treatment.
