This is what many of my dinners look like

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading caus

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death in the Western world. It afflicts 150,000 Americans, 250,000 Europeans and 1 million people worldwide annually, and nearly one third will die.

Recently, when I asked an expert on colon cancer screening if individual dietary habits are considered as risk factors to determine how closely individuals with a positive finding on an initial screening colonoscopy have to be followed, the surprising answer was “this would be a great idea”.

As I have explained in The Gut Immune Connection, colon cancer shows all the hallmarks of a number of diseases that make up the current epidemic of non-communicable chronic diseases affecting all organs in our body, and presenting as such different medical problems as cardiovascular disorders, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, obesity, autism spectrum disorder, depression, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.

Reviewing the current evidence, I have concluded that diet-induced changes in the interactions between the gut microbiome and the gut-associated immune system are a key mechanism underlying the current epidemic.

Had a wonderful conversation with Lisa Levitt Gain

Had a wonderful conversation with Lisa Levitt Gainsley of @thelymphaticmessage on her new podcast, It’s Your Lymph

We talked all about
* Gut-brain axis
* Effects of diet and digestion on gut microbiome
* Gut microbiome influence on mood, behavior, and cognitive function
* Constipation and gastrointestinal disorders
* Lifestyle optimizations for a better microbiome and metabolic function

This conversation serves as an important reminder to listen to what your body says rather than the noise of a world that’s constantly marketing the next diet, self-care, or exercise model
