Dr. Joe Zundell is an experienced cancer biologist who has dedicated over a decade to studying cancer. With a strong passion for making cancer biology understandable, he works to simplify complex concepts for the general public and actively fights against cancer misinformation.
What you'll learn from this episode:
The importance of fiber, and consuming both fermentable and non-fermentable sources of fiber, which helps regulate the microbiome and has a protective effect—and fiber consumption has even been linked with better outcomes with immunotherapy in some cancer patients.
Why you don’t need to worry about red meat giving you cancer, but you should understand how carcinogens can be formed from cooking with high heat.
How to understand your risk factors for developing cancer, including obesity, genetics, and exposure to known carcinogens, and why you should focus on the controllables because we can do a lot to offset the things that we can’t control.
Why you need to get moving—exercise is the single best thing you can do for your body. Muscle contractions stimulate our lymphatic system, and it has even been shown to improve outcomes in immunotherapy.
Why it’s important to examine all information critically and understand the complexity of diseases like cancer and obesity. Extreme points of view oversimplify things that are not simple. Scientists have to be willing to be wrong and remain open to new information.
And much more!
