Have you ever wondered if what you eat could actually affect your risk of cancer? In this special episode of Save Yourself, I’m sharing a talk I gave to a group of clinicians all about the connection between nutrition, gut health, and cancer. We’ll chat about why fiber is a superstar, how ultra-processed foods are sneaking into our diets, and why building muscle could be the key to better outcomes. I’ll also clear up some myths about supplements and probiotics and give you practical, no-nonsense tips to support your health. Whether you’re here for yourself or a loved one, this episode is full of simple ways to take control of your well-being. Let’s get into it!
