Autophagy and Cancer

Valter and Rhonda discuss the role of autophagy in cancer cells and how it can be used to weaken them. Autophagy, which is a normal process in healthy cells, becomes harmful in cancer cells as it breaks down components that are needed. Fasting and fasting-mimicking drugs can help expose cancer cells to the immune system, which can aid in weakening them.
