Why is Colon Cancer in Young People on the Rise + Holistic Solutions

While traditionally seen as a disease affecting older individuals, there is an alarming trend of rising colorectal cancer rates in young people. But what exactly is causing this?    In this Forum Health Expert Talk, Dr. William Epperly and Dr. Clayton Bell explore several contributing factors, including diet, lifestyle choices, environmental toxins, and stress. They also discuss how these factors can impact the gut microbiome and increase inflammation in the body – both of which are linked to colorectal cancer.   However, it's not all bad news.

By making simple lifestyle changes, such as incorporating more plant-based foods into your diet and reducing stress through mindful practices like meditation or yoga, you can significantly decrease your risk of developing colorectal cancer.   Listen to this episode to learn the importance of colorectal health and take proactive steps towards prevention.    At Forum Health, our nationwide community of healthcare practitioners is setting a new standard for healthcare.
