Gut Health: What Is It & How to Improve It

“My patients respond to the Anticancer Lifestyle Program in a way I find unprecedented in 30 years of Radiation Oncology practice. It helps them feel that we are caring for them, and not just delivering cancer treatment.”

“I am so glad I found the AntiCancer Lifestyle Program. This is an amazing idea and gift. Our son-in-law at 39 has glioblastoma. After surgery, chemo, and radiation we hope, no relapse. Hope, however, is not a plan. My wife and I are changing to help him change.”

Your gut is home to trillions of bacterial cells, fungi, and viruses—all of which make up your gut “microbiome”. These microbes play a critical role in your health, affecting digestion, immune function, weight regulation, and much more.

Dr. Jennifer McQuade, a medical oncologist at MD Anderson Cancer Center, will discuss the myriad ways that gut microbiome affects our overall health; the risk of cancer and response of cancer to certain treatments; and how the choices we make–such as diet and supplements–impact the microbiome and the immune system.

You will learn:
– What exactly the gut microbiome is and how it affects human health and disease
– Why probiotics are not always good for gut health
– How a healthy gut can affect cancer and cancer therapies
– Practical advice about which foods and other factors help can help or harm the microbiome
