Liquid biopsies, a non-invasive cancer screening technology that includes GRAIL's Galleri test, could transform early detection and treatment by analyzing tumor-derived cells and components.

“Some evidence suggests that NMN supplementation or NAD+ metabolism may drive tumorigenesis, especially in the proinflammatory environment associated with senescent cells. In this clip, Dr. Patrick talks about nicotinamide mononucleotide cancer study.”

“"Supplementing with selenium mitigated the increased risk of prostate cancer seen with high doses of vitamin E". Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains what antioxidants are, why they are important, and how they prevent DNA damage, a well-known cancer initiator.”

“Mounting evidence demonstrates that various forms of fasting may be beneficial as a complementary treatment against cancer. Fasting makes cancer cells more vulnerable to the body's immune response and the effects of relying on alternate fuel sources.”

“Across 1.44 million adults, higher leisure-time physical activity was associated with lower incidence of 13 cancer types. A plant-forward diet adds fiber, micronutrients, and phytochemicals while leaving less room for processed meat and ultra-processed food.”

“In this clip from FoundMyFitness's coffee deep dive, Dr. Rhonda Patrick reviews evidence linking coffee intake with lower incidence of selected cancers. Dose-response meta-analyses associated each additional daily cup with about 15% lower liver-cancer risk and 8% lower endometrial-cancer risk.”

“A large share of cancer risk is shaped not by genetics alone, but by everyday patterns of behavior that influence long-term health. Physical activity, diet quality, alcohol intake, sleep, nutrient status, and body weight are consistently associated with differences in cancer risk across populations.”

“Of course, there is a bad luck component to cancer -- but there's also a very, very large environmental and lifestyle component. This video was produced mostly in response to some over-the-top spin the media placed on an otherwise interesting paper entitled: Variation in cancer risk among tissues can be explained by the number of stem cell divisions.”
