Thomas Seyfried stated that there has been no major advance in managing glioblastoma — the deadliest brain cancer — in 100 years, despite it killing public figures like Ted Kennedy and Beau Biden.

The conversation turns from biology to policy as Bartlett asks Seyfried to imagine having the power to address cancer at a national scale. The response is revealing. Seyfried's instinct is anti-paternalistic: no government should tell people what to eat. The GKI chart's power is precisely that it is personal — it empowers individuals to see the metabolic consequences of their choices. What government can legitimately do is ensure education, address food deserts where only cheap processed food is available, fund exercise infrastructure, and eliminate carcinogenic chemicals from the environment. Seyfried is frank about the complexity of food access: 'those are easy words to say, but in practicality it's not.' He raises GLP-1 drugs (Ozempic, Wegovy) with notable caution: they lower blood sugar, which is good, but do they raise ketones? That question has not been studied. The MOORE Alliance — Metabolic Oncology Research and Education — is his institutional answer to building the clinical-scientific bridge needed to make metabolic therapy standard practice.
Research by Dr. Valter Longo suggests fasting-mimicking diets can make standard cancer therapies up to 3 times more effective by removing the metabolic shield of cancer cells.
