Podcasts about Cancer prevention

Sophie Sargent walked into the studio already owning the mic. A pandemic-era media rebel raised in New Hampshire, trained in Homeland Security (yep), and shaped by rejection, she's built a career out of DM'ing her way into rooms and then owning them. At 25, she's juggling chronic illness, chronic overachievement, and a generation that gets dismissed before it even speaks.We talk Lyme disease, Lyme denial, and the healthcare gaslighting that comes when you “look fine” but your body says otherwise. We dive into rejection as a career accelerant, mental health as content porn, and what it means to chase purpose without sacrificing identity. Sophie's a former morning radio host, country music interviewer, and Boston-based creator with a real voice—and she uses it.No fake podcast voice. No daddy-daughter moment. Just two loudmouths from different planets figuring out what it means to be seen, believed, and taken seriously in a system designed to do the opposite.Spoiler: She's smarter than I was at 25. And she'll probably be your boss someday.RELATED LINKSSophie on InstagramSophie on YouTubeSophie on LinkedInMedium article: “Redefining Rejection”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What happens when you hand a mic to the most extroverted, uncensored Gen Z career coach in New York? You get Olivia Battinelli—adjunct professor, student advisor, mentor, speaker, and unfiltered truth-teller on everything from invisible illness to resume crimes.We talked about growing up Jewish-Italian in Westchester, surviving the Big Four's corporate Kool-Aid, and quitting a job after 7 months because the shower goals weren't working out. She runs NYU Steinhardt's internship program by day, roasts Takis and “rate my professor” trolls by night, and somehow makes room for maple syrup takes, career coaching, and a boyfriend named Dom who sounds like a supporting character from The Sopranos.She teaches kids how to talk to humans. She's allergic to BS. And she might be the most Alexis Rose-meets-Maeve Wiley-mashup ever dropped into your feed. Welcome to her first podcast interview. It's pure gold.RELATED LINKS:Olivia Battinelli on LinkedInOlivia's Liv It Up Coaching WebsiteOlivia on InstagramNYU Steinhardt Faculty PageFEEDBACK:Like this episode?

Cancer now accounts for nearly two-thirds of firefighter line-of-duty deaths — a risk that extends long after the sirens fade. After 25 years with the Georgetown, Kentucky Fire Department, retired Chief Tim Thompson has made it his mission to change the way fire service approaches cancer prevention.On this episode of The PQI Podcast, Chief Thompson shares how his department integrated advanced cancer screenings into firefighter health programs, gained city support to secure sustainable funding, and launched a nonprofit to cover screenings for retirees. He also reflects on the leadership lessons that shaped his career and why prevention must be built into the culture of service.Now in retirement, he's focused on helping departments nationwide establish lasting cancer screening programs that protect firefighters throughout their careers and beyond.Listen for a conversation on leadership, prevention, and building programs that save lives.

In this episode I'm really excited to introduce you to Dr. Nasha Winters, who is author of the book "The Metabolic Approach to Cancer." She's a naturopathic doctor and founder of Metabolic Regen University and has created a metabolic approach to helping people prevent and address cancer and metabolic health disorders. I'm so glad she's here with me on How Humans Heal today. Because Dr. Nasha and I are both naturopathic doctors and graduated from naturopathic medical school at a similar time, our paths have crossed many times over the years. We are both passionate about sharing the message that health can be achieved by addressing the root cause of the health issue. We help patients figure out what's going on under the surface and help them understand what that means in terms of what they can implement to make a difference, especially related to cancer. Dr. Nasha's teaches around the world to both lay audiences and professional audiences, and created the Metabolic Regen University as a way to train clinicians in her approach to cancer. In this episode, Dr. Nasha shares her personal experience with ovarian cancer, how she healed herself, and how that inspired her to become a naturopathic doctor. We talk about high risk HPV related cancer, and cancer in general – how to think about it differently, and non-conventional ways to support healing. If you or someone you know is dealing with cancer, or at risk of cancer, this is an essential interview to listen to in your research process to identify alternative and integrative ways to prevent and address cancer, alongside conventional cancer treatment or if/when conventional approaches fail.

Dr. Nasha Winters shares her extraordinary journey from being diagnosed with terminal cancer at age 19 to becoming a pioneering force in metabolic oncology. Given just months to live and unable to receive chemotherapy, she embarked on a quest to understand cancer that led to groundbreaking insights about its metabolic and mitochondrial origins.Winters challenges the conventional genetic theory of cancer, explaining how our bodies' "terrain" - influenced by nutrition, stress, toxins, and lifestyle - creates an environment where cancer either thrives or struggles. She details how modern life's rapid changes overwhelm our mitochondria, potentially leading to cancer when these cellular powerhouses can't properly process information.Most provocatively, Dr. Winters reveals how aggressive cancer treatments can sometimes strengthen cancer by killing weaker cells while allowing stronger ones to thrive. She advocates for a balanced approach combining targeted conventional treatments with strategies to strengthen the body's terrain.The conversation explores her innovative projects including a metabolic cancer data platform, specialized supplements, a research laboratory, and plans for an integrative oncology hospital on an organic farm in Arizona - all designed to revolutionize how we understand and treat cancer.BIG IDEACancer isn't simply genetic bad luck but rather a metabolic disease influenced by our environment, nutrition, and lifestyle - and by understanding these factors, we can dramatically improve prevention and treatment outcomes.Narsha Winters contact info•Website:  https://www.drnasha.com/•Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/drnashawinters/•X:  https://twitter.com/drnashawinters•LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/nasha-winters-796374b6/•Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/drnashainc•YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@DrNashaInc•Tiktok:  https://www.tiktok.com/@drnashawinters•Book: The Metabolic Approach to CancerSend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

 In this episode of Take Charge of Your Health, hosts Corinne Furnari and Carol Petersen welcome Dr. Jeffrey Dach, a former radiologist who shifted his focus to hormone health after seeing the limitations of conventional medicine. The conversation challenges widespread misinformation about hormones, particularly the long-standing fear of estrogen therapy and its supposed link to breast cancer.   Dr. Dach revisits the influential Women's Health Initiative study, explaining how its early conclusions painted estrogen in a negative light, only to be later corrected by follow-up analyses that showed different outcomes. Together with the hosts, he emphasizes that not all hormones are equal—bioidentical hormones, when prescribed correctly, can support not only cancer prevention but also long-term wellness and vitality.  The discussion highlights the importance of correct formulations such as Biest (a balanced mix of estradiol and estriol), while also addressing the role of supportive nutrients and compounds like iodine, selenium, and DIM (diindolylmethane) in maintaining hormonal balance and reducing cancer risk.  Listeners are also directed to Dr. Dach's book, Bioidentical Hormones 101, and his website for deeper resources on navigating hormone therapy safely and effectively. By combining medical research, clinical insights, and practical guidance, the episode reframes hormone therapy as a proactive strategy for health rather than a risk to be feared.

Send us a textMulti-Metabolic Week focuses on the idea that MASLD and MASH are elements in a systemic set of Multi-Metabolic issues. This conversation is the first of two looking at the concept of the "Multi-Metabolic Clinic," a clinic that treats the entire spectrum of multi-metabolic diseases. The core of this episode starts during the weekly groundbreaker exercise, during which our guests began to describe the path that brought them from single-disease specialization to the broader multi-metabolic practice.. Immediately after the groundbreakers, participants describe their clinics today, including patient population and principles underlying their approach to treatment. For Karen, the path started in a conventional gastrointestinal practice. A decade ago, she gained certification in obesity medicine. While treating patients for obesity, she came to appreciate the interplay of obesity, diabetes and the other manifestations of multi-metabolic disease. Eventually, she divided her practice and time so that she spent half her time in the GI practice and the other half creating Trajectory Health Partners, a practice focused on overall metabolic health.For Dr. López, the initial goal was to "re-educate the hypothalamic problem," which he saw as the root cause of obesity and from which all other metabolic issues came. He describes this as "the auto-destruction button" of patients' lives, leading to two causes of death: (1) insulin resistance and related cardiovascular problems, and (2) short-telomere cancers. The rest of this conversation focuses on the tests that the two clinics use to confirm MASLD or MASH and their approaches to treating multi-metabolic patients.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-14-2025: Dr. Dawn shares the story of Tim Fried, a construction worker who deliberately exposed himself to 850 snake venom doses over 18 years to build immunity. An immunologist developed antivenom from Fried's antibodies that neutralizes venom from 19 deadly snake species, potentially saving thousands of lives annually from snakebite deaths. She describes cuttlefish sign language research revealing four specific arm movements. The cuttlefish respond to videos and water vibrations from these signs, suggesting complex communication abilities rather than simple mimicry, potentially comparable to octopus intelligence. New research challenges the assumption that Neanderthals were hyper-carnivores. While bone nitrogen levels suggested a meat-only diet, dental evidence showed plant consumption. Researchers now theorize Neanderthals ate maggots from rotting meat, which contain 43% more nitrogen than flesh and would explain the contradictory evidence between bone chemistry and tooth wear patterns. CPR guidelines may soon from the traditional ABC approach (airway, breathing, circulation) to focusing immediately on chest compressions. Research on 45 collapsed athletes showed that 27 who received inappropriate airway clearing died or remained comatose, while three who received immediate rapid chest compressions survived with potential for rehabilitation. The recommendationcould become 100-120 compressions per minute without preliminary airway management. Dr. Dawn presents reassuring statistics about spinal abnormalities in pain-free adults over 60. MRI studies show 90% have disc degeneration, 80% have disc bulges, and 40% have protrusions - yet these individuals have no back pain. This raises questions about attributing back pain to imaging findings when so many similar abnormalities exist in asymptomatic people. Australian cockatoos have learned to operate drinking fountains for entertainment rather than necessity. Researchers observed 70 birds attempting and 40 successfully using fountains, waiting in organized lines and taking turns, despite easier water sources being available nearby. An emailer asks about Essiac tea for cancer prevention. Dr. Dawn explains this herbal blend of burdock root, Indian rhubarb, sheep sorrel, and slippery elm shows promise in laboratory studies but lacks quality human research. While not harmful, no studies demonstrate reduced cancer recurrence rates, though the antioxidant properties may provide general health benefits. Another emailer inquires about lithium supplements for Alzheimer's prevention. Dr. Dawn discusses research showing lower brain lithium levels in Alzheimer's patients and how amyloid plaques trap lithium. Studies suggest lithium orotate (unlike lithium carbonate) isn't absorbed by plaques and may help memory in mice. Low-dose lithium orotate appears safe and mildly calming for humans. Groundbreaking research shows exercise dramatically improves colon cancer survival. A study of 900 patients found the exercise group had 80% five-year disease-free survival versus 74% in controls, with 40% reduced death risk. The intensive program required 10 METs weekly exercise with behavioral support sessions over three years. Dr. Dawn explores coffee's health benefits, noting humanity consumes 2 billion cups daily. Multiple studies show moderate consumption (3-4 cups) reduces breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women and slows Parkinson's progression. Compounds like cafestol and chlorogenic acids provide anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, though benefits disappear when adding significant cream or sugar. She warns about Chikungunya outbreaks in China affecting over 8,000 people. This mosquito-borne illness causes severe bone pain and can spread through blood transfusion. With increased global travel and climate change expanding mosquito ranges, Dr. Dawn emphasizes the importance of volunteering travel history to healthcare providers when presenting with fever and body aches.

A new study is challenging one of the most pervasive messages in health and fitness: the belief that 10,000 daily steps are needed to prolong life and prevent disease. Led by Professor Melody Ding at the University of Sydney and published in The Lancet, the study is the largest of its kind, analyzing data from more than 30 studies worldwide. Its findings suggest that significant health benefits may be achieved with as few as 7,000 steps a day—an attainable target for many who find 10,000 steps daunting. In this interview, Professor Ding discusses the scientific basis for rethinking our daily activity goals, how the research caught global attention, and what it means for public health recommendations moving forward. Peter Bowes speaks to Professor Ding to unpack what this shift in guidance could mean for millions tracking their steps around the world.

Lexi Silver is 15 years old. She lost both of her parents before she turned 11. That should tell you enough—but it doesn't. Because Lexi isn't here for your pity. She's not a sob story. She's not a trauma statistic. She's a writer, an advocate, and one of the most emotionally intelligent people you'll ever hear speak into a microphone.In this episode, Lexi breaks down what grief actually feels like when you're a kid and the adults around you just don't get it. She talks about losing her mom on Christmas morning, her dad nine months later, how the system let her down, and how Instagram trolls tell her she's faking it for attention. She also explains why she writes, what Experience Camps gave her, how she channels anger into poems, and what to say—and not say—to someone grieving.Her life isn't a Netflix drama. But it should be.And by the way, she's not “so strong.” She's just human. You'll never forget this conversation.RELATED LINKS• Lexi on Instagram: @meet.my.grief• Buy her book: The Girl Behind Grief's Shadow• Experience CampsFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Michelle Andrews built a career inside the pharma machine long before anyone knew what “DTC” meant. She helped launch Rituxan and watched Allegra commercials teach America how to ask for pills by name. Then she landed in the cancer fun house herself, stage 4 breast cancer, and learned exactly how hollow all the “journey” slide decks feel when you're the one circling the drain.We talk about what happens when the insider becomes the customer, why pill organizers and wheat field brochures still piss her off, and how she fired doctors who couldn't handle her will to live. You'll hear about the dawn of pharma advertising, the pre-Google advocacy hustle, and what she wants every brand team to finally admit about patient experience.If you've ever wondered who decided windsurfing was the best way to sell allergy meds—or what happens when you stop caring if you make people uncomfortable—listen up.RELATED LINKSMichelle Andrews on LinkedInTrinity Life Sciences – Strategic AdvisoryJade Magazine – Ticking Time Bombs ArticleNIHCM Foundation – Breast Cancer StoryFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Some of the “normal” things we do to unwind are quietly wrecking our bodies, and alcohol might be at the top of that list. You might not realize how much the occasional glass of wine is disrupting your hormones, wrecking your sleep, and sabotaging your detox efforts until you take a closer look at the research. And once you hear what it's doing to your thyroid, testosterone, liver, and brain chemistry, it's hard to ignore. That's why I asked Dr. Erika Schwartz—a pioneer in hormone health and founder of Evolved Science—to come break it all down. In this episode, Dr. Erika explains how alcohol impacts every single hormone in your body, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, thyroid, and even your sleep-regulating neurochemicals. She talks about how alcohol contributes to hypothyroidism, depletes your zinc and B vitamins, and accelerates aging, and why hormone replacement therapy could be life-changing (especially if you've hit your 40s and can't sleep). And we talk solutions. Like how to replace alcohol as your stress reliever, how to balance hormones safely, and what you can do right now to feel better.   “The earlier you start changing your diet, cutting back on alcohol, balancing your hormones, exercising, and sleeping regularly, the more likely you are to enjoy your life.” ~ Dr. Erika Schwartz   In This Episode - Dr. Erika's backstory - What alcohol does to your hormones - The hormones that are most affected by alcohol - How the body metabolizes alcohol - Liver health and alcohol - Testing for liver cirrhosis and hormone imbalances - Debunking the “one glass of wine is healthy” myth - Alcohol's negative impact on sleep quality and insulin regulation - GABA, dopamine, and why alcohol feels relaxing - Alternative ways to relax without alcohol - Progesterone and alcohol cravings (and how to fix it) - Other health issues tied to alcohol consumption   Products & Resources Mentioned Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com  Tru Energy Skincare Serum: Get a special deal at https://trytruenergy.com/wendy  Chef's Foundry P600 Cookware: Find it at https://bit.ly/myersdetox  Heavy Metals Quiz: Start at https://heavymetalsquiz.com    About Dr. Erika Schwartz Dr. Erika Schwartz is a board-certified MD and founder of Evolved Science, a cutting-edge longevity clinic based in New York City.

She's a neurologist, sleep medicine doc, narcolepsy expert, founder of D.A.M.M. Good Sleep, and full-time myth buster in a white coat.

Gigi Robinson grew up with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, a disease that turns your joints into overcooked spaghetti. Instead of letting it sideline her, she built a career out of telling the truth about invisible illness. We talk about what it takes to grow up faster than you should, why chronic illness is the worst unpaid internship, and how she turned her story into a business. You'll hear about her days schlepping to physical therapy before sunrise, documenting the sterile absurdity of waiting rooms, and finding purpose in the mess. Gigi's not interested in pity or polished narratives. She wants you to see what resilience really looks like, even when it's ugly. If you think you know what an influencer does, think again.

Episode Description:If you've ever wondered what happens when a Bronx-born pediatric nurse with stage 4 colon cancer survives, raises a kid, becomes a policy shark, and fights like hell for the ignored, meet Vanessa Ghigliotty. She's not inspirational. She's a bulldozer. We go way back—like pre-Stupid Cancer back—when there was no “young adult cancer movement,” just a handful of pissed-off survivors building something out of nothing. This episode is personal. Vanessa and I built the plane while flying it. She fought to be heard, showed up in chemo dragging her kid to IEP meetings, and never stopped screaming for the rest of us to get what we needed. We talk war stories, progress, side-eyeing advocacy fads, TikTok activism, gatekeeping, policy wins, and why being loud is still necessary. And yeah—she's a damn good mom. Probably a better one than you. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll want to scream into a pillow. Come for the nostalgia. Stay for the righteous anger and iced coffee.RELATED LINKSVanessa on LinkedInColorectal Cancer Alliance: Vanessa's StoryZenOnco Interview with VanessaFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Today we're talking about prostate cancer prevention….Now before your eyes glaze over or you assume this is just for someone older or someone else, let me assure you: this is something every man over 40 should know — and every man under 40 should be aware of so you can build resilient habits.Because- The good news? You have more control than you might think.Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the United States. Much the same as the risk women have for breast cancer. But while some factors like age and genetics can't be changed, many of the biggest risks for prostate cancer are lifestyle-related. And the genetics can be turned off.So today, I'm giving you 6 natural, science-backed, and do-able strategies that can help reduce your risk and improve your overall health.These aren't gimmicks. These are things I teach in my practice. And these strategies will support not just your prostate, but your energy, mood, metabolism, and long-term vitality

Risa Arin doesn't just talk about health literacy. She built the damn platform. As founder and CEO of XpertPatient.com (yes, expert with no E), Risa's taking a wrecking ball to how cancer education is delivered. A Cornell alum, cancer caregiver, and ex-agency insider who once sold Doritos to teens, she now applies that same marketing muscle to helping patients actually understand the garbage fire that is our healthcare system. We talk about why she left the “complacent social safety” of agency life, how her mom unknowingly used her own site during treatment, what it's like to pitch cancer education after someone pitches warm cookies, and why healthcare should come with a map, a translator, and a refund policy. Risa brings data, chutzpah, and Murphy Brown energy to the conversation—and you'll leave smarter, angrier, and maybe even a little more hopeful.RELATED LINKS• XpertPatient.com• Risa Arin on LinkedIn• XpertPatient & Antidote Partnership• XpertPatient Featured on KTLA• 2024 Health Award BioFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Episode Summary:In this episode of the Fempower Health Podcast, we unpack one of the most important shifts happening in gynecology that few patients know about: salpingectomy—the removal of the fallopian tubes—is replacing tubal ligation in many cases as a way to reduce ovarian cancer risk.Research has shown that most ovarian cancers actually begin in the fallopian tubes, not the ovaries. But outdated coding, confusing consent processes, and insurance issues have made this simple, evidence-based cancer prevention tool harder for women to access—or even understand.This 10-minute episode breaks it all down in plain English.

Dr. Jamie Wells is back—and this time, she brought a book. We cover everything from biomedical design screwups to the glorified billing software known as the EHR. Jamie's new book, A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering, is a masterclass in what happens when you stop treating kids like small, drunk adults and start designing medicine around actual human factors. We talk about AI in pediatric radiology, why drug repurposing might save lives faster than biotech IPOs, and the absurdity of thinking one-size-fits-all in healthcare still works.Jamie's a former physician, a health policy disruptor, a bioethicist, an MIT director, and a recovering adjunct professor. She's also a unicorn. We dig into the wonk, throw shade at bad design, and channel our inner Lisa Simpsons. This one's for anyone who ever wondered why kids' hospitals feel like hell and why “make it taste like bubblegum” might be the most important clinical innovation of all time. You'll laugh, you'll learn, and you might get angry enough to fix something.RELATED LINKSJamie Wells on LinkedInBook: A Clinical Lens on Pediatric Engineering (Amazon)Book on SpringerDrexel BioMed ProfileGlobal Blockchain Business CouncilJamie's HuffPost ArticlesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Erica Campbell walked away from corporate life, took a hard left from the British Embassy, and found her calling writing checks for families nobody else sees. As Executive Director of Pinky Swear Foundation, she doesn't waste time on fluff. Her team pays rent, fills gas tanks, and gives sick kids' parents the one thing they don't have—time. Then, breast cancer hit her. She became the patient. Wrote a book about it. Didn't sugarcoat a damn thing. We talk about parking fees, grief, nonprofit burnout, and how the hell you decide which families get help and which don't. Also: AOL handles, John Hughes, and letters from strangers that make you cry. Erica is part Punky Brewster, part Rosie the Robot, and part Lisa Simpson—with just enough GenX Long Island sarcasm to make it all land.
