Fat for Fuel

By: Joseph Mercola

Narrated by: John Glouchevitch

For over a century, we've accepted the scientific consensus that cancer results from genetic disease due to chromosomal damage in cell nuclei. But what if cancer isn't a genetic disease after all? What if scientists are chasing a flawed paradigm, and cancer isn't a disease of damaged DNA but rather of defective metabolism as a result of mitochondrial dysfunction? What if that startling truth could revolutionize our understanding of other diseases as well-and show us a radical new path to optimal health? In this groundbreaking guide, the first of its kind, New York Times best-selling author and leading natural-health practitioner Joseph Mercola explains how nearly all disease is caused by defective metabolic processes. Then he reveals what's really causing your metabolism to go haywire: damage and dysfunction in the mitochondria, thousands of which are at work in nearly every cell in your body, generating 9 percent of the energy you need to stay alive and well. When mitochondria become damaged in large numbers, it is impossible to stay healthy.Dr. Mercola shows you that you can take control of your health simply by giving your body the proper fuel-and it's not what you've likely been led to believe. A ketogenic diet, very low in carbohydrates and high in healthy fats, is the way to optimize the biochemical pathways that suppress disease and support healing. And the benefits can be astonishing-not only in treating or preventing serious illness, but in boosting your brainpower, increasing your energy, helping you lose weight and keep it off, and much more.As you listen to this audio, you'll learn in clear, rational terms how your body works at a molecular level. You'll finally understand the type of fuel it's designed to burn in the most efficient way possible. You'll find detailed guidelines for starting and sticking with a ketogenic eating plan. And you won't have to wait a decade or two for metabolic mitochondrial therapy to make its way into the mainstream. You can build a healthier body and brain at the cutting edge of this exciting new discipline, starting right now.

Every school should teach all that is in this book

Narrator was perfect to listen to. Why did I have to wait until I was 70 to hear how I could have prevented all this medicine and bypass operation?

Mind blowing, life changing!!!

I loved all the helpful info that will only benefit my total well being. Since I started listening I've incorporated many of the suggestions related to food choices and I can already feel the difference.

This book is loaded with valuable information..

...so much valuable information that I have listened to it twice and decided to get a print edition so I can reference it often. Was having trouble writing down all the nuggets I while I listened. Highly recommended.

Very informative! Revolutionary material!

I really enjoyed this book. The reader was not hard to listen to at all, and did not get boring. Well written, and very revolutionary in content. I would recommend this book to anyone that have reading ability of any kind.

Life-changing

Dr. Mercola is both comprehensive and simultaneously easy to comprehend. I have already started transitioning to MMT!
