Dr. Dominic Brady, an award-winning plastic surgeon, was diagnosed with incurable Multiple Myeloma in 2017
Determined to augment his conventional treatment naturally, he did a deep dive into extensive cancer and nutrition research. As a result, Dr. Brady adopted a whole food, plant-based diet, regular exercise, and targeted supplements. His remarkable remission has surprised his oncologist, and he’s now on an extremely low dose of immunomodulators, with a goal to completely eliminate medication—something previously thought impossible for myeloma patients.
“When patients say they use the word “I eat healthy”, ok, what did you have for breakfast? what did you eat for lunch? And then its like, oh man, I have them fill out a food journal and then you see what’s really going on. ”
In this episode, Dr. Brady shares his journey from being a cancer patient to helping others navigate their own cancer treatments. He highlights the critical role of nutrition, which is largely neglected in medical training. Inspired by Dr. Michael Gregor’s book How Not to Die, Dr. Brady embraced a diverse, plant-based diet to support his microbiome, aiming for 30 different foods per week. He also discusses fasting, calorie restriction during chemotherapy, and the power of fiber and healthy fats. Dr. Brady covers various health practices like infrared saunas, detoxification, and water purification to support healing.
“On an average day your body kills 50-70 billion of its cells through what’s called apoptosis. The tumor suppressor genes notices that a cell is starting to turn cancerous, so it sends a signal “Hey, you’ve got to kill yourself”, so you have about 50-70- billion of these things that are getting destroyed so autophagy helps clean up all this debris and recycle a lot of it. Autophagy works when you exercise too. Going through a fasting period where your really hungry is really important. ”
