The Science Behind Foods with Anti-Cancer Potential

This week’s video explores five everyday foods with surprising potential to support cancer prevention through mechanisms like immune activation, blood vessel regulation, and inflammation control. They’re part of a larger conversation about how food interacts with our biology. One root, in particular, may even help slow cellular aging.

But before we dive in, here’s a quick reminder:

Curious how protein choices, sweeteners, and gut-friendly foods could be influencing your long-term health?

Tomorrow at 8PM ET, I’m hosting a live Masterclass that breaks down three new studies on longevity, inflammation, and cardiovascular health.

We’ll explore:
🌱 A decades-long global study on plant vs. animal protein and lifespan
🍬 How a common additive may trigger a hidden inflammatory response through insulin signaling
🧪 Why certain compounds could help your gut block harmful byproducts of certain supplements

I’ll walk you through the research and translate it into strategies you can use every day.

Hope to see you there.
