Hacking Chemo

Cancer thrives on sugar. Cancer cells need it, unable to grow and multiply without a steady supply of glucose. But when you're diagnosed with cancer, recommendations from oncology doctors often result in increased blood sugar and insulin levels-the essential foods that cancer cells need to thrive.

In Hacking Chemo, Registered Dietitian and cancer survivor Martha Tettenborn uncovers the secrets of cancer metabolism, offering a refreshing new way of treating the disease with minimal side effects and maximum effectiveness. Cancer treatments like chemo don't have to derail your life. You can be your own bio-hacker by decoding how cancer works in your body...and your life.
