Summary

This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens, Wonderfeel, and Rupa Health. Over the years, it has become a widely held belief that cancer is predominantly genetic or simply the consequence of bad luck. An empowering evolution in cancer research, however, suggests we have far more control over our risk than previously thought. For instance, the right diet is imperative to reduce insulin spikes that act as a cancer growth factor. In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Jason Fung, Dhru Purohit, and Dr. Elizabeth Boham about things we can do every day to prevent cancer and support the body during and after cancer treatment. Dr. Jason Fung is a physician, author, and researcher. His groundbreaking science-based books about diabetes and obesity, The Diabetes Code, The Obesity Code, and The Complete Guide to Fasting, have sold over one million copies and challenged the conventional wisdom that diabetics should be treated with insulin. Dr. Fung is also the cofounder of The Fasting Method, a program to help people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes naturally with fasting. His latest book is The Cancer Code: A Revolutionary New Understanding of a Medical Mystery. Dhru Purohit is a podcast host, serial entrepreneur, and investor in the health and wellness industry. His podcast, The Dhru Purohit Podcast, is a top-50 global health podcast with over 30 million unique downloads. His interviews focus on the inner workings of the brain and the body and feature the brightest minds in wellness, medicine, and mindset. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is a physician and nutritionist who practices Functional Medicine at The UltraWellness Center in Lenox, MA. Through her practice and lecturing she has helped thousands of people achieve their goals of optimum health and wellness. She witnesses the power of nutrition every day in her practice and is committed to training other physicians to utilize nutrition in healing.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy, the most important thing we need to focus on
0:06.5	is not the genetics of the problem. It's the soil problem.
0:12.4	Hey, we wanted to talk to you, Dr. Mark. Now, the basis of any healing protocol should be whole
0:16.8	real food. But with all the GMO foods and lung transportation, storage times, and
0:23.1	monoculture farming methods, the completion of our soils, food thought as nutritionally dense as
0:27.9	it once was, even good stuff. And that's why I recommend supplementing a whole foods diet with a
0:32.5	high quality multivitamin as a basis for any health-oriented program. And the product I personally use
0:37.9	comes from athletic greens. Their AG1 supplement has 75 different nutrients that work together to
0:42.9	fill out the gaps in our diet. I take AG1 every day and I've noticed that I consistently feel better
0:47.3	and have more energy throughout the day. Plus, it works with any diet, keto, paleo, vegan,
0:51.6	dairy-free, even gluten-free. AG1 is a simple, easy way to optimize your health. Right now, athletic
0:56.9	greens is giving away 10 free travel packs with your first purchase. All you have to do is visit
1:02.0	athleticgreens.com-foresash-hyman. Again, that's athleticgreens.com-foresash-hyman.
1:08.0	I want to take a minute to tell you about NAD. You might not have heard of it, but NAD is a
1:12.6	critical molecule our bodies produce that we literally need to survive. Unfortunately, our NAD
1:17.6	levels decline as we age starting about our 30s, which contributes to the onset of age-related
1:22.0	diseases, including cardiovascular, neurologic, and metabolic issues. This is obviously a big problem.
1:26.7	But my friends at Wonderfield have come up with a solution. It's called Younger N-M-N. Younger
1:31.5	N-M-N counteracts the natural decline of NAD, allowing your body to restore youthful levels of
1:36.1	this vital molecule and helping you embrace a vibrant life for years to come. I've been taking
1:40.1	Younger N-M-N for three months now, and I'm already feeling more energetic and focused. N-M-N has
1:44.8	been shown to enhance energy levels, improve brain heart and joint health, and even help you sleep
