Seyfried, PhD, Professor and Author of Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management and Prevention of Cancer “Angie Choi approached her cancer diagnosis as an opportunity for healing, digging deep into the physical nature of the disease and its treatment while also honoring insights into her human nature that nourished her spiritually. Through this synergy, she repaired and rebuilt the balance she needed to thrive. Through her narrative, she shares in intimate detail the steps she took as she moved along this intensely personal path to healing. There are gems here for every reader!” -Miriam Kalamian, EdM, MS, CNS, Author of Keto for Cancer: Ketogenic Metabolic Therapy as a Targeted Nutritional Strategy Angie Choi’s cancer memoir details her experience from ovarian cancer diagnosis to being cancer free by using a metabolic approach to cancer.
