Anything but SAD (Standard American Diet)- Nutrition, Cancer, and Pain

In this episode, Dr. Brian Joves shares a personal journey of confronting cancer and how it reshaped his perspective on nutrition. Despite the fact that most physicians receive only a few hours of formal training in nutrition, diet remains one of the most powerful—and underutilized—tools in medicine.We’ll discuss:Why nutrition education is lacking in medical training.The dangers of the Standard American Diet (SAD) and its role in chronic disease and pain.The science behind ketogenic diets, the Warburg effect, and what emerging research says about cancer and metabolism.How nutrition quality directly impacts chronic spinal pain and recovery.Practical, evidence-based ways patients can improve wellness and resilience—whether managing cancer, chronic pain, or simply aiming for better health.Key Takeaways:Nutrition is foundational—not optional—for long-term health, recovery, and resilience.Cancer and chronic pain share a common thread: both are influenced by inflammation, metabolic health, and lifestyle choices.Medical interventions—whether injections, medications, or surgery—are more effective when paired with better nutrition, movement, rest, and mindset.Patients don’t need to overhaul everything at once. Small, consistent changes—reducing processed foods, improving diet quality, and focusing on whole foods—can be transformative.Want to dive deeper into the link between nutrition and pain?
