Eating pattern as well as Colon Cancer: A Chat w/Dr. Timothy Yeatman

What is the link between whole-food diet and colon cancer? Is there one? My podcast guest and colorectal cancer expert Dr. Timothy Yeatman believes there is one. On a recent episode of Causes or Cures, I chatted with Dr. Timothy Yeatman about the connection between whole-food diet, chronic inflammation, and colon cancer. He’ll explain why cancer can be thought of as a “poorly healing chronic wound” and describe his recentstudyhighlighting how chronic chronic inflammation, fueled by dietary choices, plays a essential part in the progression of colorectal cancer. We’ll explore the alarming rise of colon cancer in adults under 50 and any common patterns he’s observed in this population. Dr. Yeatman will shed light on the immune tumor microenvironment, how it influences colon cancer, and its potential role in future treatments. Plus, we’ll discuss chemical-free approaches to prevention and treatment, including essential mindful lifestyle interventions, such as achieving the right balance of omega-3s and omega-6s. (He even mentions CBD Oil as potentially preventative!) Dr. Yeatmanis the Associate Center Director for Translational Research and Innovation at Tampa General Hospital Cancer Institute and a Professor of Surgery at the University of South Florida. With a career spanning leadership roles at Intermountain Healthcare, the Huntsman Cancer Institute, and Moffitt Cancer Center, he has spearheaded groundbreaking research in colorectal cancer, genomics, and biomarker development. He founded the Guardian Research Network, led a $100M Moffitt-Merck collaboration, and co-founded M2Gen, a biotech company. His work has been funded by the National Cancer Institute since 1993, and he continues to advance cancer research and clinical innovation. Please tune in to the full episodehere. As an appetizer, you can watchthis clipfrom my Youtube channel (less than 1 minute) that gives you the “gist” of how a bad nutritional approach affects the immune system in the colon and may trigger colon cancer. (This year, I will pull out and post relevant podcast clips from each episode for folks who just want the quick and dirty. The soundbites, k? ;) But I do hope some of you dive in to the longer episodes as well– because it’s reliable information that is good for your vitality. Also, check outthis podcastI did with a Norwegian doctor and best-selling author on why he feels following heart rate variability is essential to healthy aging. In that episode, he also discusses evidence-based way of living habits shown to add 14 years to your life. (Whether you want 14 years is up to you! ;) )
