- This week’s episode of The Metabolic Link features an illuminating conversation between our host Dr. Dom D’Agostino and Chad Vanags, a successful entrepreneur who is navigating a stage 4 cancer diagnosis with courage and purpose.
After being diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2022 at just 39 years old, Chad has been documenting his journey to becoming “metabolically, physically, and mentally elite” to continue pursuing his life's vision.
In this wide-ranging discussion, we cover:
💪 Chad's backstory as a thriving entrepreneur before his "unlucky" diagnosis
💪 His shift in mindset after being told he has just months left to live
💪 Becoming "elite" across metabolic, physical, and mental health
💪 The stress-health connection and cancer as a "metabolic disease"
💪 The motivation gap - why many patients don't embrace lifestyle factors that could help outcomes

Try Dr Thomas Seyfried!!!
The visible frustration with our heath care system is so prevalent in this video. My husband and I share in your frustration. Why does the patient have to stress about the best care, treatments, and habits, etc… to try and live longer!?! Shouldn’t the patient’s job be to focus on healing?
The medical system is broken, a lot of people are choosing a naturalpathic way.
I love this dude so much
Get plenty of fresh air and 15 mins of sunshine daily.
I have had the same worry. What do I eat to not feed the cancer. It was such a disappointment that there is no consensus about how to manage nutrient intake.
Ohhhh! I see and feel the frustration! But you got this with your wonderful attitude. Just keep following your intuitive energy! Don't ever let anyone except for you, tell you what is RIGHT for you!
Thanks for helping me see that I'm an outlier!! Keep eating those fresh eggs and protein!
P.S. if you haven't already, check out info from Thomas Seyfried and the metabolic approach to any cancer. 🥰
Dr Thomas Siegfried is a Powerhouse of information on the metabolic causes of cancer and you should avoid any fruit that's got fructose in it fructose may not give you a sugar Spike but it's still causes uptake in the cancer cells just keep your sugar levels and your glutamine levels as low as possible and check into those alternative drugs Lake Thomas seyfried's drug that he likes to talk about called Don and another alternative like B-17 in conjunction with Thomas's press pulse therapy
Amazing content! Was recuperating after a cancer surgery and my Mom forwarded me this video via text. I listened straight through. Had to Google the word "Metabolic" and a few others as they were new to me. Immediately, I made the decision to go Keto and forego all the poor dietary decisions I'd made. Thanks, Chad for explaining the mental and financial cost of an adverse health situation...especially in our hustle-culture-obsessed world. I've been blessed, yet the financial burden can wipe out someone's retirement savings quickly - I wish for more people to understand these consequences while making lifestyle choices. Keep spreading the word - it needs to be heard. My life has been changed.
Just doing a keto eating method creates a feeling of active self-care that breaks the feedback loop of 'feeling like crap = thinking negative thoughts= feel like crap more '.
Cancer is absolutely a mind Fxck! 🤬
Hi Dr. Dom, 62 yo male with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Stage 3, with a cancerous lymph node sitting behind my clavicle (after 2 surgeries, TT and 12 months later, right neck dissection removing a number of cancerous lymph nodes). I follow Dr. Matt Phillips, Neurologist Waikato hospital, Hamilton New Zealand. Low carb diet, cut out sugar and wheats, with intermittent fasting. 3 day water only fasting every 3 months, with a 24hr water only fast once a week. I've moved between carnivore and keto depending on how I feel, probably 2 - 3 months a time. I agree with what you mentioned here, move between carnivore and keto (Mediterranean etc) as I need too. The key for me is cutting out sugar, albeit when I swap to keto, I do have fruit but its cool. And I feel great, thanks guys!
I was vegan forever and juiced and did everything for prevention but at 68 got non Hodgkin's lymphoma.....blessed it was curable one..i started studying metabolic health and changed to keto low carb diet and cycle in and out of keytosis...i do intermittant fasting and two days a week of fasting.. excercise which i did before..take 17 supplements a day lol..drink oxygen water...use red light therapy and take coq10 and alpha lipoic acid and ppq for my mitochondria..no sugar .make my own food from scratch...im not perfect lol..
Chad, thank you so much for your incredible honesty. It was so refreshing to listen to your perspective and your insights.
Dominic, I admire you as a podcast host; you're a great listener, you're respectful, and you care.
This is a truly amazing episode.
So stoked to see this! Connected with Chad and his wife, Stacie, on LinkedIn and was stoked to find “my people” passionate about metabolic, mental, and emotional health. 💚🧠💪🏽
My nutritional coach uses a bioenergetic testing methodology perfected by her father who was a clinical nutritionist. It measures my body's response to a varietiy of triggers. On a monthly basis we review the responses and mitigate with only supplements that correct the imbalances. The digestive enzymes were critical. I monitor my own bloodwork and inform my oncologist who loses all his patients and offers no guidance beyond chemo and immunotherapy protocols.😊
Would you share your nutrition coaches name or the bioenergetic testing method?
Please provide contact info to your nutritional coach. I need this support mechanism
An LDL-C level of less than 20 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is considered extremely low, and some studies suggest that lower LDL levels may be beneficial. For example, one study found that participants with LDL levels below 20 mg/dL had a lower risk of cardiovascular events than those with higher levels. Another study found that lowering LDL to 20 mg/dL or lower did not increase the risk of adverse outcomes like muscle aches, liver dysfunction, or strokes. However, other sources say that very low LDL levels may be associated with an increased risk of certain health issues, such as cancer, depression, and anxiety. The potential risks of very low LDL levels are still being debated
Oh I adore Chad’s take no prisoners attitude!
Hi Chad, thank you for sharing your story. I pray for your healing .
Curious how the incidence of cancer has increased since 2021. Yes, SOC is a mess. My experience with it as a Stage 4 patient matches yours.
Thank you so much 🙏
Bro. Thanks for the insight. I just found a pulmonary nodule and I’m headed down this path before I even get a diagnosis. Optimizing my nutrition and immune system support. Went into ketosis and will stay in that state until I get answers.
Great interview
Jeeez! How scary and what frustration this guy (all of those who suffer this sort of health blow)! Our whole allopathic medical system needs a big wake up call. It’s SO IMPORTANT to take in the psychological health along with the physiological side. To exclusively focus on the data/physical (as medical oncologists often do) is myopic; the anecdotal evidence available from innumerable people is almost always disregarded by the oncologists. Is it because they are restricted in what they can say/do within the systems they operate (HMO’s, insurance?) I’ve heard that nurses who care for chemo patients are the ones who often offer supportive suggestions about adjunct interventions to patients-not the oncologist.
The oncologists would get given there sack if they don't stick to the protocol they have no freedom
Did he get the jab??
Optimal Vit D level is 50 -80 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL).
I have seen Dr Tom Seyfried mentioned a few times in the comments. if I had cancer I would start with that research
My husband is also super healthy except for this one little thing. It has to be the stress. 😢
Omg im like him im afraid to eat anything after cancer but i do feel better eating pasture raised grass finished meat and fish and eggs..add my safe veggies...i have to give up cheese i guess lol..im using ghee and organic butter...olive oil...good fats...... meditation too....i really have no clue what im doing lol
My previous doctor, Dr. Flavin said goat cheese or sheep cheese was fine to eat. Check into it.
@@rochelles.8387I think this is true although I’m looking into it. Goat and sheep cheese/yogurt is less inflammatory than dairy from cows. Different kind of protein I guess.
@@ALHack29It is always good to look at many pieces of information before you decide what is best for you. For me, the carbs in non-dairy cheese and some of the ingredients aren't worth going that route, and being from Wisconsin, cheese is a necessary food group Lol!, so sheep and goat cheese seem to be working for me.
I love goat cheese..i eat coconut yogurt but not too much so I stay in ketosis..
@@ALHack29well our cows have regular antibiotics so that is why goat and sheep don't have so much through there bodies should be less about medication ,,in their milk and cheese
One of my loved ones has the exact same situation except she is a female in her early 40's. She has been on keto since the diagnosis about 3 weeks ago. What's the name of that drug?
Well Chad is completely correct it is like threading a needle and the mind problem with the loss of money. I’m stage 4 beast cancer and get completely lost in the well of information out there.
There is so much of these things we go through and we have to deal with,,and how to keep positive,,, and at stress point all through so many points in our life now trying and to catch up with what food to eat ..😅
Do Keto. Loose sugar Dr. John Seyfried studied this for 30 years. Good luck.
I'm the same as you and feel the same way. The cost of integrative care is unbelievable.
My niece is 37 and has terminal bone cancer. Why are so many young people getting cancer since Covid… hmmm
What is that water called? Thanks
I missed that part but deuterium (depleted) water is what some have supplemented. Also, grass fed/finished tallow also depletes deuterium so that’s what I cook with.
Water is the most important nutrient we consume.
Now that's what I call a good video
He felt great on keto but switched, why?
Exactly, podcast is vague and fluffy and often uses too many words.
Albeit it is all good stuff, just wish participants got to the point and were more eloquent
What I understand stood was he is doing both green veg and meat n fish
Vit d should be 80
So Chad looks good, but is he NED now? The goal is to cure cancer, right?
I guess no one answered your questions on this site. I have been taking curcumin/turmeric for 8 months and it hasn’t shown any progress.
I'm doing turkey tail mushroom as well and ,nac
I was the same way. I followed Dr. Flavin's protocol using Mistletoe, many supplements, LDN, a restricted diet, etc. and had a recurrence 1-1/2 years later while still following her protocol. I'm very hesitant with spending money on expensive (high quality) supplements now.
@@lynlawley8903NAC boosts glutothione levels.
And termeric
But I've now got a leaky heart valve since chemo so I've no choice to go another wY also sleep apnea so trying a cpap which I'm not looking forward to using as I'm stressed with all my probs from chemo ,,,,? side effects as well ,,I'm one of millions there has to be another way ,, this sounds like we have to try his way , !!! What have I to try other wise nothing out there apart from Dr seyfried who is a scientist with the dom protocol to give info but big pharma won't go their as its not profitable enough and cancer is job making if it was cured how many would have no work,,it s such an all affecting disease,,,
😊😊😅
He doesn’t know what his vit d target is?
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Exodus 20:7
Stop throwing out obscenities….not good for your health and for your audience.
An hour and 12 minutes ??? Maybe , you could shorten your presentation ? We have jobs , also .
Yeah but he’s the guy with cancer.
Every minute of this discussion is worthwhile.
Listen to podcasts during your commute to your job; if you have a short commute or work from home, listen to it while you take a walk or another type of workout.
You do not have to watch it all at once, you little whiner!
Watch on 1.25 or 1.5 speed it goes much faster, and all of the information is still received.
Watch in half n half
