Michael A. Crane, the medical director of the World Trade Center Health Program Clinical Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai, thought he would be seeing a lot of cases of lung cancer coming into his clinic. “My greatest concern was that they were gonna get lung cancer,” Crane said. He remembers treating 9/11 first responders during the immediate recovery. Workers would put on a mask and the filter would clog up within 30 minutes. The air was thick and impossible to breathe. But 25 years later, an uptick in lung cancer hasn't really panned out in the data—so far. “Fingers crossed, fingers crossed, it might be off the table,” he said. “But of course, there's no guarantees in life, as in anything else.”In this episode of the Cancer History Project podcast, reporter Sara Willa Ernst sits down with Michael Crane to talk about the surprising twists and turns of treating 9/11 first responders over the past 25 years. He also offers his theory behind why the incidence of lung cancer didn't spike as expected—an achievement, perhaps one of Crane's proudest, that the program was able to accomplish. The WTC Health Program was able to reduce smoking among first responders from 20% to just 3%, according to Mount Sinai data.“When I die, and God asks me: ‘What did you do with your life?' I'm gonna give them that statistic and demand to get into the doors. ‘Open the doors, buddy! Look what I did here,'” Crane said. The Cancer History Project Podcast is sponsored by City of Hope, the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, and the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. A transcript of this podcast is available, along with an archive of related articles, on the Cancer History Project website:  https://cancerhistoryproject.com/article/michael-crane-911/ 

Cancers diagnosed before age 50 increased 24% worldwide between 1990 and 2019, while younger generations also show signs of faster biological aging Biological age reflects the condition of your cells, tissues, and organ systems, giving you a more complete picture of your health than chronological age alone Faster biological aging was associated with higher risks of early-onset lung, gastrointestinal, and uterine cancers, although the strength of these links varied depending on how researchers measured aging Different parts of your body age at different rates, with faster immune system aging linked to early-onset lung cancer and accelerated fat tissue aging linked to early-onset colorectal cancer in an exploratory analysis Reducing seed oils and ultraprocessed foods, supporting cellular energy with adequate carbohydrates and protein, staying active, protecting your circadian rhythm, and limiting environmental toxin exposure help address factors associated with faster biological aging

In this episode, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy for a wide-ranging conversation on cancer prevention and the factors she believes influence long-term health. Dr. Connealy shares her perspective on why cancer should be approached as a whole-body problem, exploring the roles of nutrition, metabolic health, environmental toxins, sleep, stress, hormones, and mitochondrial function. They also discuss fasting and ketogenic diets, cancer screening, GLP-1 medications, aspirin, peptides, medicinal mushrooms, IV vitamin C, and other integrative approaches, along with Dr. Connealy's concerns about conventional screening and treatment practices. Throughout the conversation, she emphasizes individualized care and looking beyond a diagnosis to understand the broader conditions affecting each patient.   Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy is a medical doctor with four decades of experience who takes a prevention-focused, whole-person approach to health, longevity, and complex chronic disease. Her work spans human optimization through advanced conditions including cancer, dementia, autoimmune disease, and Parkinson's, with an emphasis on identifying and addressing factors that may interfere with the body's ability to function optimally. Her approach was shaped in part by her own health journey after learning that she had been exposed before birth to DES (diethylstilbestrol), which led her to undergo ongoing evaluations at MD Anderson and explore medicine beyond conventional symptom-based care. Over her career, she has incorporated individualized laboratory assessment, natural hormones, nutrition, peptides, and other integrative strategies while emphasizing what she describes as "creating health" rather than simply treating a diagnosis.    [The Cancer Revolution] — Leigh Erin Connealy, MD / Hachette Book Group https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/leigh-erin-connealy/the-cancer-revolution/9780306836688/ [Be Perfectly Healthy] — Leigh Erin Connealy, MD / Perfectly Healthy https://perfectlyhealthy.com/products/be-perfectly-healthy-1 [Celluverse Podcast] — Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, Alannah Connealy & Jess Donovan https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/celluverse/id1836455844 [Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy Instagram — @connealymd] — Leigh Erin Connealy, MD https://www.instagram.com/connealymd/ [Cologuard Plus] — Exact Sciences Corporation https://www.cologuard.com/resources [QTI Breast Acoustic CT Scanner] — QT Imaging Holdings, Inc. https://www.qtimaging.com/breast-acoustic-ct-scanner/ [UT MD Anderson Cancer Center] — The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center https://www.mdanderson.org/ [Eminence Organic Skin Care — Sun Care] — Eminence Organic Skin Care https://eminenceorganics.com/us/face/sun-care [Primally Pure Sunscreen] — Primally Pure https://primallypure.com/pages/sunscreen [COOLA Sunscreen] — COOLA https://coola.com/collections/sunscreen   Show Notes 00:00 Welcome to the Hart2Heart Podcast 01:07 Root Cause Medicine 02:29 Is Cancer Preventable 05:42 Biggest Risk Factors 09:51 Toxins And Detox Testing 12:26 Sweating And Detox Baths 00:00 Doctors Not Listening 16:58 Does Sugar Feed Cancer 22:37 Fasting And Keto Strategies 26:05 Mushrooms And Supplements 27:21 Thiamine And Nutrient Gaps 29:35 Hormones And Cancer Risk 35:42 Complete Hormone Panels 38:02 GLP-1s and Cancer Risk 39:18 Daily Aspirin Debate 41:12 Peptides to Avoid 43:20 Russian Peptides Cycling 45:43 Non Toxic Sunscreen Choices 47:14 Deodorants and Aluminum 48:18 AirPods and Brain Health 50:26 Cancer Screening Strategy 54:30 Breast Imaging Options 56:05 Biopsy Spread Concerns 58:09 Why Medicine Misses Prevention 01:01:55 Personal DES Cancer Journey 01:03:10 IV Vitamin C for Cancer 01:04:26 Where to Follow and Book   The Hart2Heart podcast is hosted by family physician Dr. Michael Hart, who is dedicated to cutting through the noise and uncovering the most effective strategies for optimizing health, longevity, and peak performance.

Bonnie Gasper is the chairman of Child Protection League. They educate the public and expose issues that harm children in our schools and in our culture. Through the years, the U.S. Surgeon General has issued various warnings and advisories. Perhaps the one we're most familiar with is the one on the use of tobacco and nicotine. The Surgeon General has also listed a warning on opioids along with addiction and substance abuse. In more recent years such as 2021, we saw a warning on youth mental health, a warning in 2023 on "Social Media and Youth Mental Health," and another warning that year on "Loneliness and Social Isolation." In 2024 there was a warning on "Parents' Mental Health and Well-Being," in 2025 it was a warning on "Alcohol and Cancer Risk," and now in 2026 a "Warning on the Harms of Screen use." In this latest report, Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy, Jr. indicated that, "...while screen use can have some benefits, the evidence of a range of risks to children's overall mental and physical health is mounting. These negative outcomes are related to harmful use, including use by children with vulnerable medical conditions, along with the ubiquity of devices and features deliberately built into many tech platforms to promote 'engagement,' a positive sounding word that, for too many young people, is a path to addiction-like behavior." This broadcast looks more specifically at the numerous facets of this topic that Kennedy pointed to . For example, Bonnie mentioned how today's modern devices promote "skimming." This motivates users not to deeper learning, but instead to rely on simply looking things up on the internet.

A study of more than 450,000 adults found that every additional 30 grams of processed meat consumed daily was associated with a 9% higher risk of gastric cancer and a 13% higher risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma People who ate the most processed meat had a 46% higher risk of gastric cancer and more than double the risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma compared to those who ate the least Research on oral cancer found that smoked, fried, roasted, and other heavily heat-treated meats were linked to greater risk, with smoked meat emerging as the strongest independent risk factor High-temperature cooking creates compounds called polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) — compounds identified as mutagenic and carcinogenic that may damage DNA and contribute to the cancer process over time Replacing processed meats with minimally processed protein sources, choosing gentler cooking methods, and building meals around vegetables may help reduce long-term exposure to dietary compounds associated with cancer risk

Dr. Lisa Mathew interviews Dr. Vivek Kaul, professor of medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Rochester Medical Center, about the arrival of a new technology and its endorsement in society guidelines, and how clinical practice models help physicians decide whether to adopt something new before the guidelines arrive. Kaul served as project coordinator for the clinical practice model for TissueCypher, a test that predicts a patient's risk of progression from Barrett's esophagus to esophageal cancer. Gastroenterologists from academic centers, health systems, and private practice considered current risk stratification in Barrett's and developed a playbook for the practical questions that come with adopting a new test like TissueCypher, such as which patients are appropriate candidates, how to raise the option, and what a result means for the next steps in care. Join Dr. Mathew and Dr. Kaul as they examine how societies produce guidelines and why the process takes time, which practice settings are represented in a clinical practice model, and how a physician in private practice can decide whether the model fits their patients.

What if everything you've been told about your "normal" thyroid labs is wrong? After years of struggling with unexplained weight gain and fatigue, I wish I had known then what I know now. My guest today, Dr. Amie Hornaman, experienced this firsthand. A former competitive bodybuilder, she suddenly found herself gaining weight and spiraling into a deep depression. Despite strict dieting and exercise, six different doctors told her she was "normal." It wasn't until she found a practitioner who looked beyond standard testing that she discovered the truth: she had Hashimoto's and was suffering from what she now calls "thyropause." In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Amie, a functional medicine practitioner and founder of the Institute for Thyroid and Hormone Optimization. We dive deep into what thyropause actually is, why standard thyroid testing is failing women, and what every woman in midlife needs to know about the connection between sex hormones and thyroid health. The medical establishment is finally catching up to what Dr. Amie and I have been saying for years. We cover everything from the science behind T2, the forgotten thyroid hormone, to why women are routinely dismissed by their doctors. You will learn what you can do right now to actually optimize your hormones, not just accept the symptoms of aging.

What if one of the biggest threats to your health isn't your diet or your DNA, but your everyday environment? Our guest says up to 90% of cancers may be influenced more by environmental and lifestyle factors than inherited genetics. From PFAS and microplastics to indoor air pollution and drinking water, this episode explores what the science says and what you can actually do about it. Most of us assume that if our tap water looks clean, it's safe. If the air inside our homes smells fresh, we assume it's healthy. But is that actually true? In this episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with environmental wellness expert Helen Christoni to uncover the hidden contaminants that may be affecting your health—from drinking water and indoor air quality to PFAS, microplastics, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, chlorine, and chloramines. Together, they discuss the science behind environmental exposures, what current evidence suggests about long-term health risks, and practical ways to create a healthier home. In this episode, you'll uncover:

Am I a candidate for genetic testing, and what happens before and after the results? Genetic testing workflow and follow‑up — Umangi Patel, MD, Medical Director, Oncology Services at Montefiore St. Luke's Cornwall, walks through the full process: identifying red flags from personal and family history, referral to genetic counseling, insurance authorization, and sample collection by blood or saliva. She explains multi‑gene panels versus single‑gene tests, how labs such as Myriad and Invitae report results, and how clinicians communicate positive, negative, or variant of unknown significance findings. The episode details downstream steps tied to different results — specialist referrals (GYN oncologist, breast surgeon, gastroenterologist, urologist), surveillance options (mammogram, MRI, colonoscopy, transvaginal ultrasound, PSA), chemoprevention, and timing of risk‑reducing surgery — and emphasizes that genetics is evolving, so variants and recommendations may change over time.

Today, I am delighted to connect with Dr. Elisa Port, a talented breast surgeon with a passion for helping women better understand breast cancer, breast health, and the science behind screening, diagnosis, and treatment. She's the chief of breast surgery for Mount Sinai Health System in New York, a professor of surgery at Mount Sinai's Icahn School of Medicine, and the author of The Breast Advice. In our conversation, we explore breast cancer risk factors, various screening mechanisms and their impact on dense breasts, and the role of diagnosis and pathology, including DCIS. We also discuss menopause symptom management, anti-hormone and targeted treatments, immunotherapy, de-escalation, and why a personalized approach to breast cancer treatment is so important.  Stay tuned for a truly informative conversation with Dr. Port. With her infectious optimism, she has a wonderful way of translating the science and the research in her book, making it accessible and putting the statistics into context so the information feels far less scary than it otherwise might. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How 90% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family cancer history How body weight and alcohol can influence breast cancer risk Why Dr. Port recommends annual mammograms beginning at age 40 for most women Dr. Port may disagree with recommendations against breast self-exams Why women with dense breasts may benefit from supplemental ultrasound or MRI in addition to mammography Unvalidated breast screening tests may lead to false positives, unnecessary testing, procedures, anxiety, and expense. What DCIS is, and how it influences treatment decisions Why an individualized approach is essential when using SERMs, SERDs, and aromatase inhibitors How Oncotype testing helps to identify women who may safely avoid chemotherapy Bio: Dr Elisa Port Dr. Elisa Port, MD, is chief of breast surgery at Mount Sinai Health System, which encompasses seven different breast centers.

Outsmarting Cancer: Risk Reduction and the Power of Prevention (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2026) reframes one of the most pressing medical challenges of our time: how to prevent cancer. In this timely and accessible book, physician and medical researcher Adam Barsouk, MD, presents a sweeping examination of cancer's true origins-biological, environmental, dietary, infectious, industrial, occupational, and behavioral-and makes a compelling case for why cancer prevention must become a central priority in public and personal health. With personal stories from his clinical practice and the latest research, Dr. Barsouk explains why more people are getting diagnosed with cancer-and at younger ages-than ever before. This book explores a wide range of overlooked and misunderstood risk factors, as well as how inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention disproportionately impact underserved populations. Unlike typical cancer books that focus narrowly on diet or organ-specific disease, Outsmarting Cancer takes a comprehensive, systems-level view, urging readers to look beyond the symptoms and target the root causes. Dr. Barsouk explores the role of genetic predisposition to cancer alongside environmental, lifestyle, and public policy influences that may contribute to developing the disease. With rigorous scientific insight, he offers real-world, evidence-based strategies to reduce cancer risk in practical, meaningful ways. Honest, urgent, and empowering, Outsmarting Cancer challenges readers to rethink how we talk about cancer and how we can reduce its burden before it begins. Learn more about your ad choices.

This book explores a wide range of overlooked and misunderstood risk factors, as well as how inequities in diagnosis, treatment, and prevention disproportionately impact underserved populations. Unlike typical cancer books that focus narrowly on diet or organ-specific disease, Outsmarting Cancer takes a comprehensive, systems-level view, urging readers to look beyond the symptoms and target the root causes. Dr. Barsouk explores the role of genetic predisposition to cancer alongside environmental, lifestyle, and public policy influences that may contribute to developing the disease. With rigorous scientific insight, he offers real-world, evidence-based strategies to reduce cancer risk in practical, meaningful ways. Honest, urgent, and empowering, Outsmarting Cancer challenges readers to rethink how we talk about cancer and how we can reduce its burden before it begins. Learn more about your ad choices.

Could 12 everyday high-fibre foods really help lower your risk of heart disease, dementia and some cancers?  The world is obsessed with protein, but fewer than 1 in 10 people eat enough fibre. But this year, fiber is making an unexpected comeback. In this episode, legendary chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and ZOE's Chief Scientist Professor Sarah Berry ask whether fibre is another food trend or a powerful part of our diet that we have overlooked. Taking inspiration from Hugh's new book High Fibre Heroes, they explore how fibre feeds your gut microbes, helps you feel full and slows the release of sugar into your blood. And, by the end of the episode, you'll know how to eat more fibre without costly ingredients or difficult recipes, and how to turn familiar foods into simple meals packed with flavour. Are you buying more protein while overlooking the foods your body may need most? The answer could already be in your cupboard, freezer or fridge.

Researchers followed more than 1.39 million adults and found that advanced cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) disease was strongly associated with higher cancer risk, especially once people reached the more severe stages tied to insulin resistance, kidney dysfunction, and cardiovascular disease Cancer incidence rose from 81.2 cases per 10,000 person-years in the healthiest group to more than 250 cases per 10,000 person-years in advanced CKM stages (an increase that narrowed to roughly 25% to 30% after adjusting for age and other factors), showing how rapidly risk accelerates once multiple metabolic systems begin failing together Chronic inflammation, insulin resistance and excess dysfunctional body fat may help create a biologic environment associated with higher rates of colorectal, lung, pancreatic, liver, bladder, kidney, and hormone-related cancers Younger adults under 65 with advanced CKM disease showed a 45% higher cancer risk, challenging the idea that metabolic-driven cancer only develops late in life after decades of decline Lowering seed oil intake, improving insulin sensitivity through movement, supporting mitochondrial energy production with sunlight and tracking markers such as HOMA-IR and blood pressure may help slow metabolic deterioration before it reaches the dangerous tipping point tied to higher cancer risk

The headlines say your thyroid medication might cause cancer. Before you stop taking it, read this. A 2021 study of over 600,000 people found that long-term levothyroxine users had higher rates of several cancers. That number spread quickly, and for good reason. It sounds alarming. But the study had a critical flaw: it could not separate the effect of the medication from the autoimmune disease that caused people to need it in the first place. In this episode, Evan H. Hirsch, MD breaks down what the research actually found, why Hashimoto's is likely behind the numbers, and what to focus on if you want your health to actually improve. In this episode, you'll learn: Why the study cannot prove levothyroxine caused the cancer, and what it was actually measuring How Hashimoto's thyroiditis, not the medication, likely explains the elevated cancer risk What the study got wrong about who it compared, and why that changes the conclusion Why switching to natural or desiccated thyroid does not reduce your cancer risk What drives autoimmune thyroid disease, and what you can actually do about it Why stopping thyroid medication is not the answer if you want to improve your health Discover your fatigue score and the root causes keeping you stuck: https://myfatiguescore.com Free Fatigue Masterclass: https://fixyourfatigue.com See real results: https://energymdmethod.com/results Chapters: 00:00 - Does Levothyroxine Cause Cancer? 00:31 - What the Research Actually Found 01:22 - Correlation vs. Causation Explained 02:39 - Hashimoto's and Cancer Risk 03:43 - The Toxic 5 and Autoimmune Thyroid Disease 04:50 - Should You Stop Taking Levothyroxine? 06:00 - The Real Root Cause to Address Subscribe to the EnergyMD Podcast for weekly conversations with leading experts on resolving ME/CFS and Long COVID by addressing the real root causes. .

Unprocessed red meat and cancer risk remains one of the most debated topics in nutrition science, partly because the evidence is often presented in overly simplistic terms. The key question is not whether to adopt a vague "balanced" position on red meat, but whether the evidence clearly identifies intake levels at which colorectal cancer risk increases and whether controlled human trials support plausible mechanisms for that risk. A second issue is whether claims that fibre, vegetables, or an otherwise "healthy diet" can neutralise high red meat intake are actually supported by the mechanistic evidence, or whether they overstate what dietary context can plausibly offset. In this episode, Danny and Alan examine the evidence base by moving beyond the usual epidemiology-only debate. They discuss why regional intake patterns and dose thresholds matter, then explore controlled human feeding studies showing how higher red meat intake can increase endogenous N-nitroso compound formation, faecal water genotoxicity, and other mechanistic biomarkers linked to colorectal carcinogenesis.

→ Get My Brand Masterlist: ⁠⁠https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2-2/⁠⁠ Episode Description In 2025, researchers published what may be the most important longevity study of the decade. Three years. Over 2,000 participants. A randomized controlled trial. And the results stopped the researchers themselves. A 61% reduction in invasive cancer risk. A 39% reduction in becoming physically frail. And measurable slowing of biological aging, verified by epigenetic clocks, the most sophisticated tool science has for measuring how fast your cells are actually aging. These were not elite athletes. They were regular older adults. And the three things that produced these results are inexpensive, accessible, and available at any supplement store. Most people are either missing them entirely or doing them in a way that produces almost no benefit. Dr. G breaks down exactly what the study found and what you need to do with it. In this episode, you'll learn:  • Why omega-3 deficiency carries a mortality risk comparable to smoking, and the specific EPA and DHA dose that the research shows actually slows biological aging at the cellular level  • Why vitamin D is not optional if you exercise, and why low vitamin D means the training you are already doing is producing a fraction of the benefit it should  • Why the combination of all three produces results that are not additive but multiplicative, and what that means for anyone over 40 who wants to change their biological trajectory The window that matters most is not when you are 60. It is now.
