Podcast appearances and mentions of miriam kalamian

 In this episode, Dr. Dawn Lemanne and Dr. Deborah Gordon engage with author and ketogenic diet specialist Miriam Kalamian, who shares her profound personal journey of treating her son's aggressive brain tumor with a ketogenic diet. The discussion delves into the diet's impressive effects on the size of her son's brain tumor, the surprising--and critical--role of calorie restriction for effective implementation of the keto diet in cancer, and the best combinations of fasting and the keto diet for optimal results. She outlines tailored dietary approaches for different cancers, and why keto is not "one size fits all" in cancer. For example,  for brain cancer, particularly glioblastoma, a strict ketogenic diet with very low carbohydrates and calorie restriction is essential to maximize ketone levels and minimize glucose. However, prostate cancer patients can follow a more moderate ketogenic diet, balancing carbohydrates to maintain quality of life and muscle mass, which is vital due to androgen deprivation therapy. Dairy fats are avoided in hormone-sensitive cancers but are acceptable for brain cancer due to their easy digestibility and lack of systemic effect.  She discusses her experience with exogenous ketones, and when she recommends those. Finally, Ms. Kalamian emphasizes the importance of professional medical advice when using diet as part of cancer therapy, and warns of the dangerous misinformation about the ketogenic diet on the internet, misinformation that often leads to poor outcomes. For instance, the common misconception that the ketogenic diet alone is a reasonable treatment for most cancers is dangerous.  This episode offers invaluable insights into the potential of metabolic therapy in cancer treatment.

Miriam Kalamian’s son was diagnosed with a brain tumor that was progressively getting worse and not responding well to treatment. Determined to exhaust all of her options, she dove headfirst into treatments she could use to complement the standard one given. Her research led her to using keto for cancer. Despite her determination though, Miriam’s doctors didn’t think keto was worth it and advised her to stick to the plan, which did not include the high-fat diet. Eventually, she persisted, did extensive research, and figured out how to use keto therapeutically. And her efforts paid off big time since she saw incredible results in her son’s condition. Miriam dives into the science behind why keto works (and when it doesn’t), what fuels cancer, and the exact steps to take if you’ve been diagnosed. She also shares her tip for what to focus on if you’re healthy, how to use fasting to reduce chemo side effects, and other therapies. If you don’t know Miriam Kalamian, she’s authored the book, Keto for Cancer, which shares her journey and the what’s she uncovered along the way in much greater detail. In this podcast episode, you’ll hear about this and so much more. Check it out now!

The ketogenic diet is of the most popular diets that people diagnosed with cancer consider. Why is the ketogenic potentially helpful in cancer? What does the ketogenic diet consist of? Join us with our guest, Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS and author of Keto for Cancer to learn more about the ketogenic diet in cancer care.This show is broadcast live on Tuesday's at 7PM ET on W4CS – The Cancer Support Network (www.w4cs.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS, discusses her work as an educator and nutrition expert, and talks extensively about the connection between diet and disease. Kalamian has devoted much of her life to the study of nutrition. She is board certified in nutrition (CNS), bestowed upon her by the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists. As a noted nutrition consultant and educator, she spends a great deal of her time focused on the importance of diet in an overall healthy lifestyle. And as a successful author and nutrition expert she is interested in the implementation of ketogenic therapies, and has written extensively on the topic. Kalamian holds a master of education (EdM) from Smith College and a master of human nutrition (MS) from Eastern Michigan University. Kalamian discusses her background and what led to her current career focus. As she recounts, her world was rocked back in 2004 when her young son was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Standard therapies did not stop the aggressive progression of his disease, and thus it was clear to Kalamian that she simply had to go in a different direction to fight for her son. After much reading and research, Kalamian discovered Dr. Thomas Seyfried's extensive research that was based on the ketogenic diet as a means to fight cancer. She discusses in detail, the journey she went through with her son, and talks about the ways in which the body turns up its power to fight, when a stricter diet commands the body to work efficiently. The nutrition expert delves into the inner-workings of the body and its abilities to handle and process foods. She talks about the effects of too much protein in a diet, and explains what happens internally. She explains how cancer cells work and how exercise and diet combine to provide benefits. Kalamian explains fatty acids and ketosis, and the removal of glucose from the bloodstream. As she states, low-impact exercise, such as a nice walk, helps to remove glucose from the bloodstream in a safe and effective way. She explains that nutrition, when controlled, can benefit the body's health while simultaneously working against cancer. The effects of a ketogenic diet can have a significant impact on some cancer patients in combination with their doctor's other treatments and therapies. While keto may not be the sole solution, it certainly can enhance traditional medicine treatments.

Miriam Kalamian is the author of Keto for Cancer, a guide with tips and strategies for using the keto diet for cancer management. ➢ This show is brought to you by Perfect Keto, the makers of high-quality exogenous ketones and MCT oil products. *Save over 20% by using this link https://www.perfectketo.com//HIH Back in 2007, Miriam leveraged the ketogenic diet to help shrink her seven year old son’s brain tumor. Instead of moving him to palliative care as the doctors suggested, Miriam and her husband ramped up their nutrition even further to help her son live seven more good years—much longer than doctors thought was possible. She’s since helped hundreds of cancer patients change their diet and lifestyle to help their body surmount cancer, naturally. Hope you enjoy the show,  Mike ---------Key Timestamps---------------   11:46 Miriam accidentally discovered the therapeutic ketogenic diet as her 7 year old son, with a brain tumor, was about to enter palliative care. 12:49 After 3 months of a ketogenic diet and a weak chemo drug, the tumor shrank by 10 to 15%. 14:40 They were doing the diet incorrectly, using keto and caloric restriction, yet it worked.    16:42 Caloric restriction during ketosis impacts angiogenesis.  18:04 Starving cancer of glucose is the simple view. There are metabolic pathways that are dysregulated in cancer, like the mTOR pathway.  19:26 The ketogenic diet is a systems approach.  20:24 Limiting protein is essential to a successful ketogenic diet for cancer. If protein is not limited, mTOR is stimulated throughout the system. With cancer treatment, keep mTOR upregulation specific to muscle tissue.  24:28 There is room for eating seasonal fruit, berries and vegetables on the ketogenic diet.  25:30 Miriam has seen the worst cancer outcomes in people who eat 10 to 12 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.    28:51 There is more thermogenesis when you burn fat. 30:54 1.0 grams per kilogram of body weight is sufficient protein.  32:48 Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding need to work with a specialist if they are doing a ketogenic diet for any reason.  36:30 High fat diet studies do not use ketogenic diets.    43:43 There is a short comment period for the government dietary guidelines that ends that the end of March. Comment! 44:54 The brain needs the energy equivalent of 130 grams of sugar, not 130 grams of carbohydrates. Sixty to 70 percent of this need can be met with ketones. Our bodies make the needed glucose. 46:50 A modified Atkins or a more liberalized ketogenic diet, is about 12 milligrams per deciliter higher in glucose on the average, which may mean the difference between a tumor growing or not growing. 47:21 Cancer robs glutamine from its neighbors. 49:45 Press Pulse Therapy is being researched for management of glutamine. 52:42 Keto is not the cure for cancer. It is an adjunct therapy. 53:06 In brain cancer, the results of ketogenic diet therapy is dramatic and people live many years past the initial prognosis. 54:36 You change the terrain to be inhospitable to cancer growth. It is not just about doing the ketogenic diet, but changing the lifestyle. 56:53 The ketogenic diet brought Miriam and her husband 6 ½ years of good quality of life time with their son before he died. 58:28 There may be cancers that do not respond to the ketogenic diet. 01:00:38 Drug therapies cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.    01:03:33 Fasting helps with housekeeping, clearing out dead cells.  01:05:01 In a case study in Egypt of glioblastoma multiforme and Keto 01:07:23 Temozolomide (Temodar) may give methylating patients 2 ½ months.   01:15:00 A Diet Skeptics and Saboteur presentation is on Miriam’s website. 01:15:58 A ketogenic diet has potential for improving quality of ageing.  01:22:18 Strong abs or a daily walk makes for less constipation.    01:25:22 How you sit on the toilet makes a difference in defecation.    01:26:25 The advised morning routine for someone with cancer.  01:33:28 Miriam’s favorite herbs or nutrients 01:35:04 Miriam’s elevator pitch

Most people turn to the ketogenic diet to lose weight or to enhance athletic performance. Today, nutritionist Miriam Kalamian, author of “Keto for cancer,” explains how this diet is a powerful tool for improving our health overall. She tells how her son's cancer diagnosis launched her on a mission to explore the possibility of nutritional therapy to improve his outcome. When she came across the keto diet, she saw promise. And once she changed how he was eating to align with keto, she saw its efficacy. Science backs up what she witnessed first-hand. Not only does the keto diet help cancer patients live longer, it also allows them to enjoy a much higher quality life. On this episode, we discuss the origins of the healing keto diet, how it works on a cellular level, and why it is an effective and safe treatment for cancer. Miriam explains how nutrition can be the first line of defense for cancer treatment & recovery of health, or, how, at the very least, it can be an adjunct to conventional therapies.

Miriam Kalamian is a nutrition consultant and leading voice in the keto movement, coming to it from an intensely personal experience. In 2004, her young son was diagnosed with brain cancer, leading Miriam to pursue dietary therapies to support her son's care. Miriam shares the personal story of her son and offers practical tips for making the transition to a ketogenic diet especially for patients using the diet as an adjunct cancer therapy.

In our last +1, we talked about our 80/20 180 phase in which we implemented a number of high-leverage lifestyle changes.   After that stabilization and Optimizing process, we went deep into what research shows to be a REALLY powerful targeted therapy for cancer: a ketogenic diet.   In fact, we hired the woman who literally wrote the book on it.   That book is called Keto for Cancer. Its author, Miriam Kalamian has been my brother’s day-to-day nutritionist for the last x weeks. She and her book are AMAZING.   If you’re wondering what nutritional approach we’re following, THAT’s it.   I’m laughing as I type this but my brother went from pretty much eating whatever he wanted whenever he wanted in whatever quantity he wanted to following a nutritional plan with the precision of an Olympic athlete such that he knows, in his words, whether or not he can have a couple more walnuts with lunch. (HAH!)   All of which begs a few questions.   First, you may wonder: What’s a ketogenic diet? And, why is it relevant?   Well, a therapeutic ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate, adequate protein, high healthy-fat, nutrient-dense diet that shifts your body’s primary source of energy metabolism from glucose to what’s known as “ketones.”    The ketones produced in a therapeutic ketogenic diet are relevant because THIS is how we strike cancer where it’s weak.   Here’s the deal. Remember our chat about the fact that “cancer loves sugar”? Well, cancer cells don’t just love sugar, cancer cells pretty much literally (!!!) can’t live without sugar. (I have goosebumps as I type that.)   Know this: You don’t need to rewind that far in our 1.5-million-year evolutionary history to arrive at a time when the next meal wasn’t guaranteed (let alone arriving as “edible foodlike substances” that was made in a factory and available in your fridge all day every day — all consumed with basically no effort, etc.).    Know this: We evolved to not just survive during times of food scarcity but to THRIVE.   This fact required what’s known as “metabolic flexibility.” Healthy cells had to be able to burn either glucose or ketones for fuel.    (Side note: Here’s a little known fact that all dieticians know but nearly all keep secret: We can function just fine with ZERO carbs. We NEED fats and proteins. We do NOT NEED carbs.)   But…   And might just be THE most important point in our entire discussion about how to conquer cancer so let’s pay attention here:   CANCER CELLS ARE METABOLICALLY INFLEXIBLE.   Which means that cancer cells can’t make the switch from using glucose for fuel to using ketones. (Whereas healthy cells easily can.)   And THAT is how you checkmate the seemingly immortal cells and their out-of-control growth.   Leverage their metabolic inflexibility. Cut off their fuel source. Step on their Achilles heel.    Practically speaking, what that means is we need to drastically reduce carb intake (in the range of around 20 net carbs per day). When done with precision (ideally with the guidance of a nutrition pro) within the healthy fat, adequate protein, nutrient-dense parameters Miriam maps out in her book, you radically change your energy metabolism — nourishing your healthy cells with ketones while starving your cancer cells of glucose.    This is why my brother measures his glucose and ketones all day every day.    He’s driven the glucose down: now in the 80s — which, again, is an epically awesome drop from the 145 diabetic, cancer-feasting-on-glucose zone to the optimal, “where’s the glucose?!” cancer cell starvation diet zone — WHILE driving his ketone levels up. Again, nourishing the metabolically flexible healthy cells while exploiting the metabolically INflexible cancer cell’s Achilles.   THAT is how we use targeted nutritional therapy to win the war on cancer. 

In our last +1, we talked about our 80/20 180 phase in which we implemented a number of high-leverage lifestyle changes.   After that stabilization and Optimizing process, we went deep into what research shows to be a REALLY powerful targeted therapy for cancer: a ketogenic diet.   In fact, we hired the woman who literally wrote the book on it.   That book is called Keto for Cancer. Its author, Miriam Kalamian has been my brother’s day-to-day nutritionist for the last x weeks. She and her book are AMAZING.   If you’re wondering what nutritional approach we’re following, THAT’s it.   I’m laughing as I type this but my brother went from pretty much eating whatever he wanted whenever he wanted in whatever quantity he wanted to following a nutritional plan with the precision of an Olympic athlete such that he knows, in his words, whether or not he can have a couple more walnuts with lunch. (HAH!)   All of which begs a few questions.   First, you may wonder: What’s a ketogenic diet? And, why is it relevant?   Well, a therapeutic ketogenic diet is a very low carbohydrate, adequate protein, high healthy-fat, nutrient-dense diet that shifts your body’s primary source of energy metabolism from glucose to what’s known as “ketones.”    The ketones produced in a therapeutic ketogenic diet are relevant because THIS is how we strike cancer where it’s weak.   Here’s the deal. Remember our chat about the fact that “cancer loves sugar”? Well, cancer cells don’t just love sugar, cancer cells pretty much literally (!!!) can’t live without sugar. (I have goosebumps as I type that.)   Know this: You don’t need to rewind that far in our 1.5-million-year evolutionary history to arrive at a time when the next meal wasn’t guaranteed (let alone arriving as “edible foodlike substances” that was made in a factory and available in your fridge all day every day — all consumed with basically no effort, etc.).    Know this: We evolved to not just survive during times of food scarcity but to THRIVE.   This fact required what’s known as “metabolic flexibility.” Healthy cells had to be able to burn either glucose or ketones for fuel.    (Side note: Here’s a little known fact that all dieticians know but nearly all keep secret: We can function just fine with ZERO carbs. We NEED fats and proteins. We do NOT NEED carbs.)   But…   And might just be THE most important point in our entire discussion about how to conquer cancer so let’s pay attention here:   CANCER CELLS ARE METABOLICALLY INFLEXIBLE.   Which means that cancer cells can’t make the switch from using glucose for fuel to using ketones. (Whereas healthy cells easily can.)   And THAT is how you checkmate the seemingly immortal cells and their out-of-control growth.   Leverage their metabolic inflexibility. Cut off their fuel source. Step on their Achilles heel.    Practically speaking, what that means is we need to drastically reduce carb intake (in the range of around 20 net carbs per day). When done with precision (ideally with the guidance of a nutrition pro) within the healthy fat, adequate protein, nutrient-dense parameters Miriam maps out in her book, you radically change your energy metabolism — nourishing your healthy cells with ketones while starving your cancer cells of glucose.    This is why my brother measures his glucose and ketones all day every day.    He’s driven the glucose down: now in the 80s — which, again, is an epically awesome drop from the 145 diabetic, cancer-feasting-on-glucose zone to the optimal, “where’s the glucose?!” cancer cell starvation diet zone — WHILE driving his ketone levels up. Again, nourishing the metabolically flexible healthy cells while exploiting the metabolically INflexible cancer cell’s Achilles.   THAT is how we use targeted nutritional therapy to win the war on cancer. 

In today’s episode, we’re going to tackle a topic that I find absolutely fascinating and something that I think we all really need to pay more attention to. Our special guest Miriam Kalamian will help us get the knowledge we need under our belts. And whether or not cancer will be something that will affect us down the road, I hope we can all take this topic to heart.

Ketogenic diet for cancer educator Miriam Kalamian is our interview guest today in Episode 1354 of “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show.” Miriam Kalamian is a credentialed nutrition professional who found out the tragic news that her 4-year old son Raffi had a brain tumor the size of an orange in December 2004. After failing to see any improvement in Raffi’s condition with all the conventional cancer treatment methods, Miriam stumbled across the ketogenic diet through the work of Boston College cancer researcher Dr. Seyfried and his book Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer. After looking into this diet further, she realized that cancer is indeed a metabolic disease and should be treated as such. When she saw how children with epilepsy are able to implement this diet into their lives therapeutically, Miriam proceeded to put Raffi on the ketogenic nutritional approach designed to produce an adequate amount of ketone bodies to serve as an alternative fuel source without exacerbating the cancer. The results Miriam saw were unbelievable and convinced her there’s a lot more to the ketogenic approach than most doctors, oncologists and cancer researchers even realize.   Listen in today as Jimmy and Miriam chat about her new book Keto for Cancer: Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy as a Targeted Nutritional Strategy, treating cancer with a ketogenic diet, how the thinking about traditional cancer treatments is changing, strategies for disease prevention, and much more.   COUPON CODE LLVLC FOR 10% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship FREE TWO DAY SHIPPING FOR AMAZON PRIME MEMBERS NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship MAKE KETO EASIER WITH FBOMB NOTICE OF DISCLOSURE: Paid sponsorship Nutrient-Rich Vegetables in an Easy-to-Use Powder “JIMMY” at checkout to get 20% off your first order!

This week on How on Earth, we started speaking with Miriam Kalamian, author of the newly released Keto for Cancer. The interview starts at 11' 30", but unfortunately we lost the connection after only 5 minutes. You can link to her book at http://www.chelseagreen.com/keto-for-cancer and we will have her back to hear the full story! For the remainder of the show we linked to the BBC Science in Action segment on building proteins from novel DNA sequences. Hosts: Beth Bennett and Chip Grandis Producer: Beth Bennett Engineer: Maeve Conran Executive Producer: Beth Bennett Listen to the show:

Today we talk about the link between the ketogenic diet and how it may benefit cancer treatment. We discuss The difference between a healthy cell and a cancerous one and why keto might prove useful. How calorie restriction may benefit the overall health of someone with or without cancer. How to design the correct diet when going ketogenic and loads more! Miriam Kalamian is a board-certified nutrition consultant and leading voice in the keto movement. Her passion for helping others implement a ketogenic diet comes directly from her personal experience when her son, Raffi, was diagnosed with a brain tumour in December 2004. Standard of care therapies failed to stop the relentless progression of his disease, and it became painfully clear that she needed to switch gears quickly. That is what originally led to Dr Thomas Seyfried's research supporting the use of a low-carb, high-fat diet for cancer. Miriam Kalamian is a nutrition consultant, educator, and author specializing in the implementation of ketogenic therapies. She earned her master of education (EdM) from Smith College and her master of human nutrition (MS) from Eastern Michigan University. She is board certified in nutrition (CNS) by the Board for Certification of Nutrition Specialists. Miriam draws on a decade of experience to provide comprehensive guidelines that specifically address the many diet and lifestyle challenges associated with a cancer diagnosis. Her work also includes integrating nutritional strategies with metabolic therapies and lifestyle modifications to develop personalized treatments that address a broad spectrum of conditions that are currently considered intractable, such as age-related, neurodegenerative and bariatric diseases.

Our guest for this discussion is Miriam Kalamian. Ms. Kalamian is a nutrition consultant, educator, and author specializing in the implementation of ketogenic therapies. Miriam draws on a decade of experience to provide comprehensive guidelines that specifically address the many diet and lifestyle challenges associated with a cancer diagnosis.This show is broadcast live on Tuesday's at 7PM ET on W4CS – The Cancer Support Network (www.w4cs.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

Tumor cells have more insulin receptors than healthy cells, so they preferentially metabolize glucose. When you cut off the glucose supply to tumor cells, they struggle to make the fuel they need to proliferate. The ketogenic diet sharply limits the glucose that reaches tumor cells (while providing other anticancer benefits), and animal studies (and one small but seminal human study) have shown promise in using the ketogenic diet as an adjunctive treatment for cancer. Author of the new book, Keto for Cancer, Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS, talks with Dr. Fitzgerald about the how ketogenic eating for cancer differs from other keto and low-carb protocols and outlines specific steps for pacing a keto protocol for the specific needs of cancer patients.

In today's episode, i talk with Miriam Kalamian, a nutrition professional specializing in the use of the ketogenic diet for cancer and other metabolic diseases. She holds a Master of Science degree in Human Nutrition from Eastern Michigan University. Her passion for helping others implement this diet comes directly from her personal experience. Her son Raffi was diagnosed with a brain tumor in December of 2004. Standard of care therapies failed to stop the relentless progression of his disease and it became painfully clear that they needed to switch gears quickly. An Internet search led her to Dr. Thomas Seyfried's research supporting the use of the Restricted Ketogenic Diet for cancer. Join me for this very personal and fascinating discussion around cancer and the ketogenic diet.
