How to never get cancer? 5 powerful ways to support your body and lower cancer risk

One of the central messages is that cancer isn’t just about “bad cells” in isolation, but about the underlying terrain of the body, how well our cellular energy systems (the mitochondria) are functioning, how our metabolism is balanced, and how well our body defences (immune, detoxification) are working. Dr Berg emphasises that supporting mitochondrial health becomes a key strategy in reducing cancer risk. When mitochondria are damaged or dysfunctional, cells may revert to abnormal energy pathways, oxidative stress increases, and the environment becomes more favourable for malignant transformation. By contrast, healthy mitochondria contribute to normal apoptosis (cell‑death when needed), stable metabolism, and robust resilience. Cancer arises when normal cells lose the ability
