The Dr. Lodi Podcast

Fear thrives on vague labels; clarity starts with biology. We open by replacing the word “cancer” with “chronically fermenting cells,” so the focus shifts from doom to mechanism: cells favoring fermentation rather than oxidative phosphorylation. That reframe lets us explain PET scans and SUVs in plain language, showing how to distinguish metabolic activity from leftover anatomy, and why a smaller, quiet lesion can mean success even...

What if the most dangerous thing in your health journey isn’t your diagnosis, but the words wrapped around it? We unpack why language can weaken or empower the immune system, reframing “cancer” as chronically fermenting cells to shift focus from fear to metabolism, mitochondria, oxygen, and the biochemical terrain that cells inhabit.

We move case by case to ground the principles. A meningioma reminds us that “benign” growt...

What if “disease” isn’t an enemy to defeat but your body’s adaptive signal asking you to change course? We dive into a practical, science-informed approach to chronically fermenting cells—often labeled cancer—by focusing on how the immune system learns, how stress blocks healing, and how simple daily habits can turn the tide.

We unpack the abscopal effect in plain language: when a single tumor is targeted locally, systemic...

Stop chasing labels and start changing the soil. We get honest about what creates real health—optimal function when needs are met and impediments are removed—and we map a practical path you can follow. Instead of arguing over oxalates, seed oils, or soy, we dismantle diet dogmas and return to physiology: amino acids over “protein,” plants as the mineral gateway, carbs as both fuel and structure, and why taste matters for adherence ...

What if the most dangerous thing about a diagnosis isn’t the biology—it’s the language? We ditch fatal labels, explain why PSA and other single numbers don’t tell the whole story, and rebuild a saner roadmap for healing that starts with physiology: cells under toxic load switch to fermentation, and the job is to restore oxygen, balance, and flow. Along the way, we get practical about what actually moves the needle: eating real huma...

Start with a laugh, stay for the clarity. We open by poking at flat‑earth tangents and headline noise, then zero in on what actually moves health: the words we use, the food we choose, and the daily habits that tell our cells whether to panic or repair. I break down why calling disease “chronically fermenting cells” changes the frame from doom to metabolism, then map the core strategy—remove impediments, restore essentials, let bio...

Prepare to have your understanding of CFCs completely transformed. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Thomas Lodi challenges the conventional medical model by explaining why cancer should actually be called "chronically fermenting cells" (CFCs) - a term that accurately describes what's happening in the body rather than using misleading astrological terminology.

Dr. Lodi takes us deep into the cellular biology ...

Dr. Thomas Lodi delivers a transformative perspective on healing that challenges the very foundations of conventional medicine in this eye-opening episode. Instead of using astrological terminology like "cancer," Dr. Lodi refers to these conditions as "Chronically Fermenting Cells" (CFCs) - a term that accurately describes what's happening in the body at a cellular level.

From his 21 years of exper...

The forgotten power of iodine takes center stage in this enlightening exploration of thyroid health, immune function, and holistic healing approaches. Dr. Thomas Lodi reveals why this critical mineral deserves far more attention than it receives in conventional medicine, explaining how iodine deficiency undermines not just thyroid performance but our entire immune response.

Most people living in iodine-deficient regions un...

The humble mineral iodine might be the most overlooked yet critical component of your health puzzle. Dr. Lodi takes us on a deep dive into why this forgotten element deserves our attention, explaining how iodine deficiency undermines thyroid function and consequently weakens our immune system.

Most of us are walking around with suboptimal iodine levels due to depleted soils and diets lacking in sea vegetables. The conseque...

What if everything you've been told about treating chronic conditions is fundamentally flawed? Dr. Thomas Lodi challenges conventional medical wisdom by demonstrating that the body functions as one interconnected system, not isolated parts that can be treated separately. This revelatory approach transforms our understanding of cancer—which Dr. Lodi refers to as CFCs (chronic, confirmed cells) to remove the fear-inducing langua...

What if everything you've been taught about healing chronic disease is completely backwards? In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Thomas Lodi challenges conventional medical wisdom by presenting a simpler, more fundamental approach to health restoration that begins not with complex interventions but with thorough detoxification.

The conversation tackles one of medicine's biggest blind spots: the connection between pa...

The medical establishment has conditioned us to accept diagnoses as answers, when they're merely descriptions of what's happening in our bodies. "Severe ulcerative epithelial dysplasia" sounds impressive, but it only tells you that cells are changing shape, not why it's happening or how to resolve it. This descriptive approach serves the medical billing system perfectly while leaving patients without true u...

Ever wondered why parasite cleanses fail despite your best efforts? The answer lies in understanding their remarkable survival strategies. Parasites can lay up to 200,000 eggs daily and hide deep within tissues, making short-term treatments virtually useless. Dr. Lodi reveals why effective parasite protocols must continue for months or even years using a three-weeks-on, one-week-off cycle with multiple medications targeting both wo...

Fear prevents rational decisions. When faced with a serious diagnosis, many people find themselves paralyzed, unable to think clearly about their options. Dr. Thomas Lodi believes this is by design - medical terminology often creates unnecessary terror while offering little practical understanding of what's actually happening in your body.

This illuminating episode reframes our understanding of chronic health conditio...

Ever wondered why conventional medicine seems to label so many conditions as "incurable"? Dr. Thomas Lodi turns this notion on its head by revealing a profound truth: there's no cure needed because there's no "thing" to cure.

In this eye-opening session, Dr. Lodi challenges the fundamental misconception driving modern healthcare—that disease is some external entity invading our bodies. Instead...

Ever wonder why conventional medicine seems to treat symptoms rather than causes? Dr. Thomas Lodi pulls back the curtain on a revolutionary approach to understanding health and disease that could transform your healing journey.

At the heart of Dr. Lodi's philosophy is a fundamental reframing: what mainstream medicine calls "cancer" is actually chronically fermenting cells (CFCs) – cells that have lost 60% of...

Dive deep into the controversial connection between parasites and chronically fermenting cells (CFCs) with Dr. Thomas Lodi as he challenges conventional understanding of disease. In this eye-opening discussion, Dr. Lodi explains why we should abandon fear-inducing terminology like "cancer" in favor of focusing on the actual metabolic process occurring within cells.

The conversation upends traditional medical teac...

What if everything we've been taught about chronic inflammation and disease is fundamentally flawed? Dr. Thomas Lodi challenges conventional medical wisdom by explaining how inflammation isn't something to be suppressed, but rather understood as the body's intelligent response to unmet biological needs.

Diving deep into the biochemistry of chronic inflammation, Dr. Lodi reveals how pharmaceutical drugs like ...
