The dietary foundation is not an “adjunct” to the metabolic protocol—it is the central pillar that determines whether the rest of the strategy works or fails.
At its core, the multi-axis framework is designed to impose coordinated metabolic stress on the tumor: lowering glucose availability, suppressing insulin/IGF-1 signaling, activating AMPK, inhibiting mTOR, and destabilizing mitochondrial function. A high-carbohydrate diet directly counteracts each of these mechanisms.
