Today we're talking to author and influencer Chris Wark, also known as "Chris Beat Cancer," who uses his platform to bring attention to the importance of nutrition and the problems with the medical industry. We start off with his story of how he beat colon cancer after rejecting chemotherapy and moving to a raw whole food diet. Throughout the process, he saw the shortcomings of a medical system motivated mostly by profit. Unfortunately, there is little financial incentive for doctors to actually help their patients lead healthier lives; it's far more lucrative for them to just push the latest drug from pharmaceutical companies. We also discuss how "Breast Cancer Awareness Month" also falls into this category, with big corporations pumping out huge sums of cash to raise awareness for something we all already know about and doing very little to actually help those affected by breast cancer. We look at "pink washing" and where your cancer research donations actually end up. We wrap up with Chris' thoughts on what he would say to someone who just received a cancer diagnosis and all the options people have available to them in that situation.
