About the expert

Focus: Supervised water-only fasting; whole-food plant-based dietary intervention

Founder of TrueNorth Health Center, where he has overseen 25,000+ medically supervised water-only fasts. Has published over 20 peer-reviewed articles on supervised fasting in hypertension, weight loss, and selected metabolic conditions. Advocates a strict whole-food plant-based diet alongside supervised fasting protocols. Cancer-specific case-series claims are real but not mainstream oncology, and the strict dietary framing goes beyond standard nutrition guidelines.

Why this matters

Leads supervised water-only fasting at TrueNorth Health Center; peer-reviewed work supports specific clinical applications (hypertension, weight loss, metabolic markers), but cancer-reversal case-series claims and strict dietary framing go beyond mainstream guidelines.

I Supervised 25,000 Fasts: How 72 Hours Without Food Is Linked To Cancer

Supervised water-only fasting is a real clinical intervention with peer-reviewed studies in hypertension, weight loss, and metabolic conditions. The cancer-specific claims (especially case-series on reversal) are stronger than independent evidence supports. Fasting may have a role alongside standard cancer treatment, but is not a substitute for it.
