The Dark Truth About Why The Cancer Rate In People 18 to 49 Is Sky Rocketing & What We Can Do About It! Dr. William Li / Dr. Casey Means
Episode 771
lundi 2 septembre 2024 • Duration 01:12:31
Rates of early onset cancer diagnosis in people 18 to 49 years of age has gone up 79% over the past three decades. Dr. William Li (world renown cancer researcher) and Dr. Casey Means (metabolic disease specialist) join Jillian to explain the root of what is causing cancer and subsequently what we can do about it. Could The Pill for young women be playing a role in hormone-sensitive breast cancers? Could glyphosate be linked to cancers of the digestive system (colon cancer, stomach cancer, esophageal cancer etc.) From lifestyle interventions we can implement immediately, to the most cutting edge therapies to treat cancer - no stone is left unturned.

Shocking Warnings From Big Food / Big Pharma Whistleblower, Calley Means
Episode 664
lundi 30 octobre 2023 • Duration 01:15:38
Calley Means graduated from Stanford undergrad and Harvard Business School, and went on to lobby American politicians on behalf of big food and big pharmaceutical companies. Now he is exposing the incentives for this toxic duo of Big Food and Big Pharmaceutical to keep us fatter, sicker, and more depressed, in addition to the corrupt practices they engage in to do it -- from intimidating our senators and buying off our doctors with “consulting fees,” to paying off civil rights groups and social media influencers to slap labels like racist, ableist, fat shamer, and more on those who are crying fowl. Here’s what you need to know to safeguard yourself and your family.

Episode 663
lundi 23 octobre 2023 • Duration 01:04:02
Dr. Sanjay Juneja joins Jillian to explain what cancer is (or rather, what makes your cells “go rogue”) - from viruses and their variants like HPV and cervical cancer, mononucleosis, and Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, to things that “invite” cancer like smoking, drinking, poor sleep, working night shifts and more. Then, we discuss top strategies to reduce cancer risk, like cultivating a diverse microbiome, managing insulin levels, hormone balance, etc. Dr Juneja explains which scans and screenings we need to ask for (MRIs, CTs, PET scans), new tests like Galleri and GRAIL, as well as guidelines now and in the future. Dr. Juneja is a practicing triple board-certified hematologist and medical oncologist known nationally as “TheOncDoc,” where he boasts over half a million subscribers across his social media platforms.
