    38: 3 Real Patients, 2 Cancers, 1 Autoimmune Disease: Here’s What Happened - with Dr. Sarper Diler, MD
    Nov 10 2026
    Apply to work with a Certified Gonzalez Doctor for all types of cancer and autoimmune diseases here.What does success really look like when three very different patients choose The Gonzalez Protocol®? Their doctor shares the scans, the setbacks, and the ordinary days that came back, honestly and with their permission.My guest is Professor Dr. Sarper Diler, an integrative oncologist, immunologist, and chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Nicholas Gonzalez Foundation, and he personally treats each of these patients.Mehmet arrived severely depleted, 83 pounds down, with a grade III neuroendocrine tumor in his liver, bones, and lungs, and an oncologist who had given him a couple of months.Aysegul is a young mother of three living with myasthenia gravis, a disease that had stolen her strength from one part of the day to the next.Esma faced colorectal cancer with positive lymph nodes and the uncertainty that follows surgery.None of them had chemotherapy or radiation after beginning our protocol, and none of them followed it perfectly.Sarper walks through what the imaging, the antibody levels, and the muscle strength scores actually showed, and where he draws the line between clinical judgment and scientific proof. He also answers the harder questions: what adherence really looks like, what families carry at home, and what he would say to a skeptical oncologist listening in. These are real patients and two of them speak for themselves before the episode ends.You’ll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[5:32] What a successful case actually means over time[7:13] Mehmet declines chemo with only a couple of months to live[13:28] When his daughter moved in and shared the load[19:40] Where to start if you were diagnosed this week[23:05] Myasthenia gravis and the weakness that fluctuates by the hour[27:03] A young mother losing strength and her sense of herself[36:56] Why Sarper won’t call Aysegul cured[44:23] Esma hears colorectal cancer and lymph nodes positive[47:40] What lymph nodes positive actually means for spread[54:21] Strong adherence and a five-month break held together[1:03:27] A message to the skeptical oncologists and researchersResources Mentioned:Conquering Cancer Volume One by Dr. Nicholas J.

    37: A Cookbook for People Who Don’t Cook
    Nov 3 2026

    Get your copy of The Gonzalez Protocol® Cookbook at newspringpress.com or CreateMyCookbook.com


    Until I was 35, my oven was where I kept my jewelry, and now I've written a 246-page cookbook.


    Before I married Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, I lived in a studio apartment in New York City with some of the best restaurants in the world outside my door. Cooking wasn't something I did. It wasn't something I wanted to do. Then I agreed to follow the Gonzalez Protocol® as a lifestyle, and suddenly the kitchen was no longer optional.


    My husband became my patient teacher. Reading food labels for the first time shocked me. Standing at a stove with no idea where to start was humbling.


    That stretch of my life is why this book exists. Knowing which foods fit your metabolic type is one thing. Turning those foods into a dinner your family actually wants to eat is another.


    The recipes came from more kitchens than mine. Dr. Gonzalez's own go-to meals are in there. So are Dr. Kelley's, Dr. Pottenger's, patient submissions, certified Gonzalez doctors, my mom, and Carol Alt. Ten friends tested every single recipe at their own stoves for months, grading each one from A to F on a one-page form, and only the A's made the cut.


    If the kitchen feels like one more hard thing right now, this episode is for you.


    You’ll Learn:


    [0:00] Introduction

    [2:25] The gap between metabolic typing and dinner on the table

    [4:11] Velma Kelley and cooking for someone you love

    [5:52] The no-nos box that kept recipes honest

    [8:14] Dr. Kelley's 11 grain cereal for every metabolic type

    [9:58] Roast chicken the whole family can share

    [12:00] Feeding a family of different metabolic types without three dinners

    [14:19] Pick one recipe and make it twice until it's yours

    36: The Carnivore Diet Isn’t for Everyone. Here’s Why | Dr. Andre Williams, MD
    Oct 27 2026
    Ready for a different conversation about your cancer care? Apply to be on The Gonzalez Protocol® and meet a doctor who listens first.A man in his 40s ate carnivore for eight months and watched his cholesterol climb past 1,000 while deposits broke through the skin of his hands and feet.Welcome back to Dr. Andre Williams, MD, a board-certified oncologist and certified Gonzalez Protocol® doctor, because he lives in both worlds and sees what happens when people copy a diet off TikTok instead of matching it to their biology.Here's the part the internet leaves out. For more than 40 years, from Dr. Kelley to my late husband Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez, we've recommended carnivore-leaning diets on purpose, for the right people. The all-meat, no-vegetable, no-labs version you see online is not even close to what we teach.A published case shows kidney stones worsening after a YouTube-inspired switch to meat. Published carnivore studies found people falling short on vitamins C and D, magnesium, calcium, and iodine, and getting less than one gram of fiber a day.So who actually belongs on a carnivore-leaning diet, and who will slowly wreck their health trying it? If you've been guessing, this episode is the pause before the mistake.You’ll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[8:03] Telling real guidance apart from a carnivore sales pitch[12:34] JAMA Cardiology case of cholesterol over 1,000 breaking through the skin[15:45] Vitamin and fiber gaps the internet version never mentions[21:05] Why our carnivore diet is never purely carnivore[26:52] Why red meat matters for a parasympathetic dominant person[31:16] What happens when a sympathetic dominant person goes all in on meat[32:45] Weston A. Price’s findings and a vegetarian patient who needed animal protein[40:26] Moderate carnivore versus balanced carnivore explained[45:15] Source of the meat matters as much as the amount[51:42] Red flags that the carnivore diet is wearing you downResources Mentioned:Nutrition and the Autonomic Nervous System by Dr. Nicholas J.
