Daily Steps To Reduce Your Chances Of Getting Cancer

This episode is sponsored by Thrive Market, Athletic Greens, and Rupa Health. The school of thought around cancer used to be focused only on the genetic component. But we now know that our environment—the air we breathe, the food we eat, even our relationships—has an enormous cellular impact on our ability to prevent and treat cancer. In this episode, my guests and I discuss the Functional Medicine approach to cancer, which empowers patients and practitioners to achieve the highest expression of health by working collaboratively to address the root causes of disease. Drew Ramsey is a psychiatrist, author, farmer, and founder of the Brain Food Clinic in New York City, offering treatment and consultation for depression, anxiety, and emotional wellness concerns.
