Episode Details

Colorectal cancer is a growing concern, with cases rising among younger adults. Experts link this trend to processed foods and microplastics. John Andretti, a race car driver, lost his battle after missing a colonoscopy. Nancy Andretti, his wife, emphasizes the importance of noticing subtle signs like occasional blood in urine. Common symptoms include rectal bleeding, bowel habit changes, bloating, abdominal pain, and weight loss. Doctor J. Ryan Williams advises not dismissing bleeding as hemorrhoids in your thirties or forties. Screening starts at age forty-five for average risk, or earlier with family history or for African Americans. Prevention involves regular exercise and a Mediterranean diet.
