How Much of Cancer Is Actually Preventable with Cancer Biologist Dr. Joe Zundell
from Modrn Wellness · host Modrn Med
In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Joe Zundell, a cancer biology expert and science communicator, to talk about what actually reduces cancer risk, and what’s just online hype. Here’s what we covered (and why it matters): 1) Most cancer risk isn’t purely genetic Joe explains that cancer risk may be ~50–90% modifiable depending on your environment and access to resources. 2) The #1 dietary upgrade almost nobody hits The average American gets only ~10–15g of fiber/day. The stronger risk-reduction signal shows up around ~25–30g/day of fiber (and benefits may extend up to ~40g/day, though that’s hard without intentional effort, and likely some gas). 3) The “socially normal” carcinogen 4) The fundamentals beat the “hacks” 5) Myth-busting you’ll want to send to a friend 6) Test you can do for your house/environment to reduce your risk of cancer Follow Dr. Joe Zundell: Instagram: @dr.joezundell Web: https://drjoezundell.com/ Follow us on Instagram: @modrnmed @dr.marypardee
