Just a guy who is Passionately Curious, exploring life and consciousness. “Those who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe are as good as dead; their eyes are closed” Albert Einstein Curiosity and wonder lead to an infinite path of discovery. I love learning and sharing along the way. We live in an incredible time where we have the technological means to learn, connect, and share like never before in history. Join me on the journey as we learn from the hearts and minds of others from all over the world. Open your mind, stay curious and enjoy the ride!

Dr. Seyfried has over 150 peer-reviewed publications and is the author of the book, Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012). Thomas Seyfried discusses his groundbreaking research on cancer as a mitochondrial metabolic disease rather than a genetic one. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the metabolic origins of cancer to improve treatment outcomes.

He advocates for a holistic approach to health, including dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and patient empowerment, to effectively manage cancer and improve overall health.
