When Carli was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer in 2022 at the age of 32, everything changed.

Not just our lives, but how I think about health, disease, and what we can actually control.

After years of research, conversations with doctors willing to think outside the box, and diving deep into the metabolic theory of cancer, I've implemented my own personal prevention protocol that I follow.

To be clear, you could spend the rest of your life obsessing about cancer prevention and drive yourself absolutely crazy—this ain’t that.

These are practical protocols that I believe have an outsized return relative to their aggravation and cost.

For starters, cancer is fundamentally uncontrolled cell growth. Cells that should die (through a process called apoptosis) don't.

They keep replicating, consuming resources, and eventually become tumors.

So the question becomes: What can you do to encourage unhealthy cells to die in a non-toxic way while keeping your healthy cells thriving?

That's what this protocol is about.

I take 25mg of ivermectin for 5 days on, 2 days off, for two weeks—once every quarter.

So it looks like this:
Monday through Friday, I take one 25MG pill. I take Saturday and Sunday off. Then I take one 25MG pill Monday through Friday again and give it a rest for the next three months.

Every week, I take a microdose injection of a GLP medication.

The connection to cancer prevention? Insulin resistance and obesity are two of the biggest risk factors for cancer. If you believe (as I do) that cancer is fundamentally a metabolic disease, then keeping your insulin low and maintaining a healthy weight isn't just good general health advice—it's a direct cancer prevention strategy.

The GLP helps me maintain metabolic health without the constant white-knuckling that comes with traditional dieting.

Once a month, I do a water fast for three meals (roughly 24 hours).

Fasting triggers autophagy, your body's natural cellular cleanup process. Think of it as taking out the trash at the cellular level. Old, damaged, or dysfunctional cells get broken down and recycled. It's one of the most powerful reset buttons we have, and it costs nothing. I know a lot of people who do a quarterly water fast for three to five days, which I’ve looked into but haven’t done just yet.

Methylene Blue

This is my next experiment. Methylene blue is a compound that's been around for over a century, originally used as a dye and antimalarial. But recent research suggests it may have powerful effects on mitochondrial function—the energy factories in your cells.

Since the metabolic theory of cancer centers on mitochondrial dysfunction, supporting healthy mitochondria makes intuitive sense. I'm still researching the optimal protocol, but I'll add this to my regimen soon. I’ll keep you updated on how it goes.

Binders (Maybe)

Binders are popular in alternative health circles for removing toxins from the body. I haven't incorporated them yet, but they're on my radar. The theory is that reducing toxic load gives your body more resources to focus on maintaining healthy cells rather than constantly detoxifying.

Here's what I've learned from watching Carli fight cancer and from my own research: We have more control than we think.

Not total control—cancer is complex, and there are no guarantees. But we're not helpless either.

A healthy lifestyle isn't just about feeling good today. It's about creating an internal environment where cancer struggles to take hold. Low insulin, healthy weight, regular cellular cleanup through fasting, strategic use of compounds that encourage abnormal cell death aren't magic bullets, but they're tools worth incorporating.

And if you're like me—if you've watched someone you love go through hell because of this disease—you want every tool you can get.

This is my protocol. It's what makes sense to me based on the research I've done and the experts I've consulted. It's not medical advice, and it's certainly not a replacement for working with qualified healthcare professionals.

But it's what I'm doing.

And I sleep better at night knowing I'm not just sitting around hoping I never get the call.
