The last thing you want to do is to succumb to a disease based on fear, and I talked about fear. Okay, fear is very debilitating because it will stop you from doing what.
How often do we think about the journey our food takes from our mouth to our... well, you know? In this eye-opening episode of Urban Tools for Change, Dr. Lisa LaCon invites Dr. Bryce Ratliff to chat about colon health, just in time for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Dr. Ratliff breaks down the nitty-gritty of how different parts of our digestive system work and why a high-fiber diet packed with fruits and veggies is crucial for a healthy colon.
But it’s not just about what we eat; it’s also about getting screened. With a particular focus on the African-American community, this episode highlights the higher rates of colorectal cancer and the systemic issues that contribute to these statistics. Dr. Ratliff dives into the science of gene mutations, like the p53 gene, that can increase cancer risks, and he doesn’t shy away from discussing the fears and misinformation that often prevent people from seeking medical help.
He encourages listeners to take control of their health with self-discipline and regular screenings, especially those in high-risk groups. Whether you’re curious about how your digestive system works or need a nudge to book that screening, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for everyone.
