Michael Sapienza is the Chief Executive Officer of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, the largest colon cancer advocacy group in the country. He lost his mother to colorectal cancer in May 2009. He turned his profound grief into action, inspiring and challenging the colorectal cancer community, family, friends, and professional associates to follow his lead and dedicate themselves to ending colorectal cancer within our lifetime—the mission of the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. Michael founded The Chris4Life Colon Cancer Foundation and served as its President from 2010-2015. In 2016, he led the team that merged the Foundation and the Colon Cancer Alliance, creating the nation’s largest colon cancer specific nonprofit, which changed its name to Colorectal Cancer Alliance in 2017 to embrace both the colon and rectal cancer communities.

You've brought many speakers in the past that talk about the benefits of a keto diet for metabolic health and inhibiting cancer growth but could you please ask them the next time you bring them on about the MIT study which showed that a keto diet in mice didn't slow tumor growth as opposed to a low calorie diet that did. Here's the title of the study if you'd like to google and learn more; 'MIT News How diet affects tumors A new study finds cutting off cells’ supplies of lipids can slow the growth of tumors in mice.' Thank you.
