A healthy diet plays an important role in primary and secondary prevention of cancer. The Mediterranean diet is associated with lower risk of several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disease, diabetes, and cancer—especially cancers of the breast and colon. Natural Medicine Journal: Mediterranean Diet for Cancer Prevention The mechanisms responsible for these effects include reductions […]

Russ Scala sits down with Bill to talk about how he used the ketogenic diet to take control of his life after a near fatal heart attack. Scala Precision Health and The Institute offer cutting-edge research, metabolic testing, and advanced imaging that pushes innovative performance solutions into the hands of companies, physicians, and athletes.
The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. The diet forces the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates. Normally, the carbohydrates contained in food are converted into glucose, which is then transported around the body and is particularly important in fueling brain-function.

Current obesity prevention strategies recommend increasing daily physical activity, assuming that increased activity will lead to corresponding increases in total energy expenditure and prevent or reverse energy imbalance and weight gain. Current Biology: Constrained Total Energy Expenditure and Metabolic Adaptation to Physical Activity in Adult Humans Such Additive total energy expenditure models are supported by exercise […]
Animals that acquire, assimilate, and metabolize energy from food and can use these available energy sources to successfully reproduce are positioned for optimal survival. Current Biology: Exercise: Is More Always Better? Flexibility is an important feature of this biological construct that allows animals and other organisms to adjust as energy availability waxes and wanes with varying food resources and metabolic […]
