TMHS 455: The Surprising Truth About Can...

SHAWN STEVENSON
About this episode

Cancer - the very word in and of itself can put a pit in your stomach. We often think of cancer as an indiscriminate misfortune that randomly occurs. But did you know as little as 5-10% of cancers are determined by our genetics? 

That means that upwards of 90% of cancers are controlled by epigenetic factors, and therefore are in our control. There’s no one better to speak on this topic than Naturopathic Oncologist, Dr. Christian Gonzales. On this episode, Dr. Gonzales is sharing the science behind cancer susceptibility, and how cancer actually occurs in the human body. 

You’re going to learn about the power you have to control your health outcomes, how to hedge your bets against cancer, and why having a sense of community can improve our health. Dr. Gonzales is a true expert in this field, and I hope this episode gives you the knowledge and empowerment you need to become your best and healthiest self for years to come. 

In this episode you’ll discover:

  • How Dr. Gonzales became interested in integrative oncology.
  • What cancer actually is, and how it occurs in the body. 
  • The percentage of cancer cases that are truly genetic. 
  • Why cancer is multifactorial. 
  • How UV light can change your DNA.
  • What genetic instability is, and how it happens over time. 
  • How getting closer to nature can help us prevent cancer. 
  • The importance of following your circadian rhythm. 
  • Why a variety of food is nature’s gift to us. 
  • How antioxidants can protect you from the sun. 
  • Better alternatives to chemical-ridden plastic food storage containers.
  • Why some people are more sensitive to mold. 
  • How to build resiliency against mold. 
  • Which epidemic is more detrimental to our health than smoking.
  • How to attract like-minded individuals into your life.
  • Why trauma can be an obstacle to healing, and how to release it.
