Podcasts about cancer risk

Even on a plant-based diet, excess fat raises cancer risk. Experts explain the role of insulin resistance, inflammation, and how whole foods help. #CancerPrevention #PlantBasedDiet #HealthyWeight

High-glycemic index foods push your insulin and IGF-1 into ranges linked to lung cancer, raising risk across multiple tumor types, including small cell and adenocarcinoma High-glycemic load diets, when built from fiber-rich whole fruits, vegetables, and grains, showed a lower lung cancer risk because they produced steadier blood sugar responses rather than sharp spikes Both smokers and nonsmokers experienced significantly higher lung cancer odds when eating high-GI diets, showing that carbohydrate quality influences risk regardless of smoking history Fast-absorbing carbs and ultraprocessed foods often combine high-GI starches with high linoleic acid seed oils, creating an inflammatory, insulin-resistant environment that supports abnormal cell growth Simple dietary shifts — such as reducing ultraprocessed foods, choosing slower-digesting carbs, repairing your gut before increasing fiber, and stabilizing meal timing — help you lower metabolic patterns linked to lung cancer

Graham Colditz is an internationally known breast cancer prediction expert. Joy Jiang is a young biostatistician. ​​Together they created Prognosia's cutting edge software.Graham Colditz is an internationally recognized scientist who's written more than one thousand research papers and created several award-winning models for predicting women's breast cancer risk. But it wasn't until a young biostatistician named Joy Jiang (Jee-ang) arrived at Washington University in St. Louis that the idea of a startup took hold. The two developed AI technology that analyzes subtle changes in mammograms over time and predicts a woman's five-year risk for cancer. Then in 2024, Graham and Joy co-founded Prognosia to commercialize their software. A little more than a year later, Prognosia was acquired for an undisclosed price by Lunit, a South Korean company whose AI software helps doctors detect cancer.Midwest Moxie's executive producer is Audrey Nowakowski.

Host: Mindy McCulley, MS Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Specialist for Instructional Support, University of Kentucky  Guest: Dr. Leah Winer, MD Assistant Professor of Surgery, University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center Cancer Conversations Episode 70 In this episode of Cancer Conversations on Talking FACS, host Mindy McCulley welcomes Dr. Leah Winer, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Division of Surgical Oncology at the University of Kentucky Markey Cancer Center, to unpack the Surgeon General's advisory linking alcohol consumption to increased cancer risk. They discuss why public awareness of the alcohol–cancer connection is low, how alcohol causes harm at the cellular level, and why even small amounts may raise risk. Dr. Winer explains which cancers are most strongly connected to alcohol—mouth and throat cancers, larynx, breast, liver, esophageal, and colorectal cancers—and how alcohol may compound other risks like smoking or obesity. The conversation covers implications of the advisory, including potential warning labels on alcoholic beverages, reassessment of drinking guidelines, and gaps in research (patterns of drinking, age of initiation, and whether risk falls after stopping). Practical advice includes: don't start drinking if you don't already, consider reducing or stopping intake, know your family history and screening recommendations, and seek support for dependence when needed. Tune in for clear, research-based guidance on reducing cancer risk and how to translate the Surgeon General's advisory into day-to-day choices for better health.

You're tired all the time. Your joints ache. Your brain feels foggy. Your stomach is always off. You've been to multiple doctors, run the labs, and everything comes back "normal." So you're told it's stress, or aging, or maybe it's all in your head. It's not. It's chronic inflammation, and it's the hidden thread connecting most long-term diseases, from heart disease and diabetes to Alzheimer's, autoimmune conditions, and even cancer. That's chronic inflammation, and it's happening in your joints, your gut, your brain, your arteries, and your metabolism- quietly, invisibly, for years before symptoms force you to pay attention. You'll learn the 5R framework for gut repair, why sleep is the most underrated anti-inflammatory tool, how to eat to lower inflammation starting today, and which supplements actually move the needle when layered on top of solid habits. If you've been chasing diagnoses, collecting labels, or told your symptoms don't match anything "real," this episode is your roadmap out. Chronic inflammation is measurable, fixable, and under your control once you understand what's feeding it.

Are you still confused (or totally terrified) about hormone therapy because of what you heard that it causes cancer? Do you have breast cancer and have been told you cannot take hormone therapy, but still question if this is true? Then this episode is for you. Today I sit down with cancer survivor Dr. Lindsey Berkson, one of the most outspoken, evidence-driven voices in hormone science. She has been on the front lines for more than 40 years, challenging misinformation, teaching clinicians, and calling out the myths that have held women back from lifesaving care. We cover: What really happened in the 2002 WHI study and why the press release created global panic Why estrogen may be breast-protective…even for breast cancer patients What the 2024 NIH study of 10 million women revealed about HRT Why not ALL estrogen is proliferative The discovery of ER-beta and how it reframed estrogen's role in cancer biology What 25 human trials show about HRT use in ER+ breast cancer survivors What is oxytocin and how does this hormone help women in menopause   Dr. Lindsey Berkson is a pioneer in hormone and nutritional health with over four decades of clinical and research experience. She's triple board-certified in nutrition, a hormone scholar at Tulane University's estrogen think tank, and one of the first practitioners to bridge endocrinology, nutrition, and gut health into an integrated approach to healing.

Send us a textWe look at the emerging research linking ultramarathoning to a possible increased risk of colorectal cancer, particularly in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The discussion highlights the importance of hydration, nutrition, and recovery strategies for endurance athletes. Vitamin D and gut health also play an important role in decreasing risks. Takeaways-- Some research suggests that Ultramarathoning may increase the risk of colorectal cancer.- Hydration and nutrition are critical for endurance athletes.- Vitamin D levels should be regularly assessed, especially in athletes.- The gut microbiome can change with extreme endurance activities.- Recovery is essential for preventing long-term damage in athletes.- Training the gut to tolerate nutrition is important for performance.- Repeated extreme endurance events can lead to gut ischemia (lack of blood flow).- Nutrient deficiencies can exacerbate health risks in athletes with IBD.- A tailored approach to nutrition is necessary for athletes with IBD.- Understanding the mechanisms behind gut health can inform better training practices.Chapters:00:00- Introduction to Ultrarunning and Colon Cancer Risk02:37- Exploring the Connection Between Endurance and Colorectal Cancer05:17- The Role of Hydration and Nutrition in Endurance Sports08:07- Nutritional Considerations for Athletes with IBD10:48- The Importance of Vitamin D in Athletic Performance13:38- Understanding the Mechanisms of Gut Damage in Endurance Athletes16:23- The Impact of Recovery on Gut Health19:05- Conclusions and Recommendations for Athletes with IBDFollow us on instagram @crohns_and_colitis_dietitiansFollow us on youtube @thecrohnscolitisdietitiansWe love helping provide quality content on IBD nutrition and making it more accessible to all through our podcast, instagram and youtube channel.

Treat ADHD, lower Alzheimer's risk?The episode explores emerging evidence that simply having ADD/ADHD raises lifetime Alzheimer's risk—yet appropriately treating it in adults, often with low-dose stimulants, seems to push that risk back down. How can the same class of drugs be both feared as “brain-burning” and yet potentially brain-saving—and what does that mean for people already in midlife?Treating prostate cancer successfully with--testosterone? Listeners are introduced to a first-in-oncology “directed evolution” case in metastatic prostate cancer, led by Dr. Lemanne's team, where high-dose testosterone was deliberately used to expand treatment-sensitive cells—and only then was hormone blockade re-introduced. But did this radical, counterintuitive maneuver actually work?Emotional trauma in youth as a hidden Alzheimer's driver? Dr. Gordon discusses links between youth emotional trauma to higher rates of Alzheimer's decades later, even in people who appear to have “moved on.” Is this just correlation, or should early emotional trauma be considered a subtle form of brain injury that can and should be addressed?Do you go to bed later on weekends, by just 1-2 hours, but make up for it by rising later?  If so, you'll want to know that you may be increasing your risk of breast or prostate cancer.  This episode explores that research.Have you heard of the new Alzheimer's blood tests, that improve as the patient improves, allowing better direction of treatment? Dr. Gordon walks us through the ATN panel (amyloid-beta, p-tau, neurofilament light), now accessible through routine laboratory tests, along with galectin-3 as a tau-clustering, inflammation-linked marker, and a new infusion drug (TB006) targeting that pathway. But can these numbers really be moved in the right direction with targeted lifestyle and medical interventions—and what happens when they are?Enjoy this unusual episode! And write to us.

The health benefits of breastfeeding for infants are already well established. However, researchers at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre have recently published a study showing that pregnancy and breastfeeding can also help protect against breast cancer. Dr. Nisha Khot, Clinical Director of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Peninsula Health, explains how this research could help reduce breast cancer rates among Australian women.

Colon cancer often develops silently without early symptoms, making prevention through diet and lifestyle one of the most effective ways to protect yourself Eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts lowers your risk of colon cancer by about 17% The strongest protection is reached with just 40 to 60 grams a day — about half a cup of cooked broccoli — making prevention simple and realistic Compounds in cruciferous vegetables detoxify harmful chemicals, trigger cancer cell death, strengthen your colon lining, and support healthy gut microbes Combining a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables with lifestyle steps such as reducing vegetable oils and environmental toxins, eating the right carbs, and exercising builds a strong daily shield against colon cancer

Send us a textCancer is the second leading cause of death, and while it sparks fear for good reason, 40% of cases are preventable. In this episode, I outline six practical, evidence-based steps that can help reduce your risk.We begin by understanding which cancers are most common based on gender—breast, colon, and lung in women; prostate, colon, and lung in men. While some rare cancers (like pancreatic or ovarian) evoke greater fear, the focus here is on the ones we're more likely to face and can meaningfully act on.Next, I break down risk factors into two categories. Some are unavoidable—your sex, age, or family history. For example, if a close relative had breast or colon cancer, early screening or genetic testing may be warranted. However, only about 5–10% of cancers are directly linked to inherited genetic mutations (American Cancer Society).The more empowering list? Avoidable risk factors—where our actions matter most. Smoking remains the leading modifiable cause of cancer, responsible for about 19% of all cases. Excess weight and obesity account for another 8% and are especially tied to hard-to-treat cancers like pancreatic and ovarian (ScienceDirect) and PubMed). Visceral fat appears more predictive than BMI alone. Alcohol, especially in large quantities, is also linked to liver, GI, and breast cancers.Some risks are cancer-specific. HPV causes nearly all cervical cancers, and melanoma is largely driven by UV exposure. Air pollution, especially particulate matter, may slightly increase lung cancer risk (ASCO Global Oncology).Step three is to act on what you can. Quit smoking, aim for a healthy weight, wear sun protection, and ensure your kids get their routine HPV and Hepatitis B vaccines. Exercise plays a major role too—high activity levels correlate with 10–20% lower risk of several major cancers (JAMA). In colon cancer survivors, regular exercise reduced recurrence by 30% (PubMed).Step four is awareness: don't ignore new symptoms like unexplained bleeding or lumps. Early detection can be life-saving.Step five is screening. If you're 45 or older, colonoscopy is now recommended. Women should get regular mammograms and PAP smears, and individuals with smoking history may benefit from lung CT scans. For rarer cancers with family history, targeted screenings may apply. I also address why whole-body MRIs and liquid biopsies aren't ready for routine use.Step six? Don't put your hope in supplements. Large trials show omega-3s, vitamin D, beta carotene, and vitamin C offer no real protective benefit (NEJM VITAL Study, Meta-analysis on Vitamin C, JNCI on aspirin).Takeaways: You can reduce your cancer risk by modifying lifestyle factors like smoking, weight, and activity. Don't delay screenings—they catch cancers early when treatment is most effective. And remember: no supplement replaces proven preventive strategies.Visit drbobbylivelongandwell.com for more evidence-based tools, and listen to the full episode for actionable steps to help you live long and well.

Dr. Amy Patel is the Medical Director of the Breast Cancer Center at Liberty Hospital outside Kansas City. She spoke about an AI algorithm they use with breast ultrasounds that gives radiologists a data-informed second opinion.

Do you have a strong family history of cancer? Or have you lost a close friend to cancer? Maybe you've seen the impact of cancer in breaking families apart and worry about getting it yourself and then losing time with your loved ones. Well, if you're wondering if there is a benefit to eating plant-based to lower cancer risk, you're in the right place.   In this episode, we'll see if avoiding meats and eating more plants in general can benefit our bodies by reducing cancer risk and even delay its progression in those that have it.

Every October, the color pink can be seen on products and websites with the stated goal of raising awareness for breast cancer.Some advocates argue that this "pinkwashing," as it's called, has commercialized the disease and put screening on the backburner.This hour, a local radiologist shares everything you need to know about screening guidelines: who should get mammograms, when, and what insurance will cover.We also explore two different pieces of proposed legislation — one that could reduce barriers to screening, and second that could help people with metastatic breast cancer access benefits.Our guests: Avice O'Connell, M.D., FACR, FSBI, radiologist with Rochester Regional Health Christina Thompson, executive director of the Breast Cancer Coalition of Rochester  Erin Bowman Park, survivor advocate ---Connections is supported by listeners like you.

People under 50 are experiencing higher risk of some cancers. While overall cancer rates are declining, the incidence of 14 cancer types have increased in younger people. Why? It could be related to lifestyle choices, environmental factors, or an individual's genetics. In this episode, host Samantha Laine Perfas speaks with global cancer trend expert Tim Rebbeck, oncologist Kimmie Ng, and epidemiologist Tomotaka Ugai about how people under 50 can best mitigate their cancer risk.

Can obesity, menopause, and even Alzheimer's risk be transformed with one class of medications? Triple board-certified endocrinologist Dr. Rocio Salas-Whalen joins The Neuro Experience to unpack the science behind GLP-1 therapies, sustainable weight loss, and hormone health. One of the earliest physicians to adopt GLP-1 treatments, Dr. Salas-Whalen has redefined how obesity and midlife health are managed—showing why weight gain isn't about “willpower” but biology, inflammation, and longevity. A leader in obesity and hormone medicine, Dr. Salas-Whalen founded StrengthMD and The Dry Revolution, sharing evidence-based wellness insights worldwide. Her upcoming book, Weightless: A Doctor's Guide to GLP-1 Medications, Sustainable Weight Loss, and the Health You Deserve, launches Dec 30, 2025 (U.S./Canada) and early 2026 worldwide.

Send us a textIn this Journal Club episode, Ben and Daphna review a wide range of new research shaping neonatal practice and policy.The discussion begins with a randomized controlled trial from Korea examining antenatal corticosteroid use in twin pregnancies at risk for late preterm delivery, showing reductions in neonatal respiratory morbidity. They then turn to a meta-analysis on DHA with or without ARA supplementation in preterm infants, where results raised concerns about potential increased risk of BPD, highlighting the need for more precise dosing and study design.A major feature of this episode is the release of the Improving Neonatology Staffing Toolkit, presented with guests Dr. Kerri Machut and Dr. Milenka Cuevas Guaman. They explain how the toolkit builds on consensus recommendations to offer practical guidance, case studies, and advocacy resources for units of all sizes.Ben and Daphna also review a multi-center study comparing transcatheter closure and surgical ligation of the PDA in extremely preterm infants, finding similar neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years. Additional topics include an analysis of opt-out consent in neonatal trials, new data on the association between critical congenital heart disease and infant cancer, and a systematic review of autism screening tools for preterm children.A dense episode full of data and practical implications for neonatology.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

What if having the same gene as your sister doesn't mean you'll have the same outcome? What if trauma and nervous system dysregulation could be the difference between expressing a genetic disease—or not? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian answers a question from Rachel in Texas, who discovered she carries the BRCA gene mutation. Despite making the same lifestyle changes as her sister—who also has the mutation—Rachel developed breast cancer while her sister remained healthy. Why? Dr. Aimie reveals the biological mechanism that connects nervous system dysregulation to genetic expression: oxidative stress. This episode offers a scientifically grounded yet hopeful perspective on why two people with identical genetics can have vastly different health outcomes—and what you can do about it. In this episode you'll hear more about: Why BRCA mutation carriers have a 45-72% lifetime breast cancer risk (versus 12-13% in the general population)—but not everyone with the gene develops cancer The biological link between nervous system dysregulation and oxidative damage to DNA How BRCA genes interact with NRF2 antioxidant pathways, creating increased vulnerability to oxidative stress Why both sympathetic activation (stress/anxiety) and dorsal vagal shutdown (depression/numbness) decrease your body's ability to clear oxidative stress The "calm alive" state: when your body naturally engages its healing and antioxidant repair mechanisms Dana's story from The Biology of Trauma—a physician with childhood trauma who found a breast lump and learned to repair nervous system dysregulation Practical tools: why vitamin C and antioxidant-rich foods (broccoli, blueberries) matter for genetic conditions How somatic self-practices can quickly shift your nervous system state and support cellular repair Why having a genetic condition doesn't mean you're powerless—epigenetics shows us DNA expression can change Genetics load the gun, but environment and nervous system state pull the trigger. This episode is a powerful reminder that even when you carry genetic risk, your nervous system regulation, oxidative stress levels, and daily practices can dramatically influence whether those genes are expressed. Your biology is not a life sentence.

What happens when too much T4 builds up in the body—and could it actually raise your risk of cancer? I'm digging into the latest studies that suggest a connection between high free T4 levels and cancer progression, and breaking down what this really means for anyone on thyroid medication. You'll hear why the issue isn't the pill itself, but the dosing, the conversion to T3, and how reverse T3 plays a hidden role in slowing down your entire system. I'll explain how T4 can mimic estrogen in certain cancers, why reverse T3 puts your body into “hibernation mode,” and the essential nutrients that can protect your thyroid and keep conversion running smoothly. If you've ever wondered whether your thyroid meds could be hurting you instead of helping—or if you want clarity on how to lower risk and finally feel better—this conversation will give you the answers you've been searching for.

Aging is more than disease—it's the steady decline of function. In this episode of Longevity by Design, Dr. Gil Blander speaks with physicist-turned-biotech innovator Dr. Peter Fedichev about why resilience, not diseases, holds the key to longer lives.Peter explains how his background in theoretical physics shaped his approach to biology and aging. He outlines why startups, not large institutions, are now leading innovation in longevity science. Drawing from physics, he describes aging as a series of “jumps” between states, each leaving the body more fragile.The discussion moves from the limits of current drugs to the promise of new approaches. Peter argues that reducing fluctuations and increasing molecular fidelity could unlock far greater gains in healthspan and lifespan. Listeners gain a fresh lens on what drives aging, where the real breakthroughs may come from, and why the next frontier in longevity will require rethinking the problem altogether.  Guest-at-a-Glance

Susan shares her deeply personal connection to breast cancer, having both lost grandmothers to the disease and supporting her sister through her own diagnosis. Drawing from years of experience in healthcare and her own journey navigating high-risk screenings, Susan gets candid about the gaps in breast health education, especially around dense breast tissue, and underscores the importance of self-advocacy, persistence, and community support. Together, Lisa and Susan break down the barriers that so many women face, discussing why knowing your breast density matters, why speaking up in the doctor's office can be lifesaving, and the simple yet powerful actions—like sharing information and writing to lawmakers—that can make a difference. Whether you're a survivor, advocate, healthcare professional, or just searching for honest conversations about women's health, this episode is packed with insight, hope, and practical advice for taking charge of your wellbeing.

People who ate the most ultraprocessed foods had a 41% higher risk of developing lung cancer compared with those who ate the least The increased risk was seen in both smokers and nonsmokers, showing that diet alone influences lung cancer development Processed foods alter nutrient absorption, strip away protective compounds, and add toxic byproducts that fuel inflammation and immune dysfunction Harmful chemicals from packaging and high-heat cooking further raise cancer risk and weaken your body's defenses Choosing whole, unprocessed foods and cutting linoleic acid in vegetable oils down to 2 grams or less daily is one of the most effective ways to protect your lungs
