Colorectal Cancer

About Colorectal Cancer

A colon cancer diagnosis raises a lot of questions, and many people come to DrTalks looking for ways to support their health alongside the care their medical team provides. Questions about screening, life after surgery and chemo, what to eat as a survivor, and stage 4 stories that give people hope are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the colon. Colorectal cancer is tied to your gut and oral microbiome, inflammation, blood sugar, diet, alcohol, and exposures like microplastics. You'll find conversations on a no-nonsense guide to colon cancer, the red meat debate, how mouth bacteria may be linked to colon health, and survivors' nutrition stories. Doctors, dentists, nutrition experts and cancer survivors explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from cancer screening to stool testing and imaging, and what helps alongside treatment, from fiber, fermented foods and more plants to exercise, stress care and emotional support.
