March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month

Colorectal cancer is now the #𝟭 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬 𝗮𝗻𝗱 #𝟮 𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝟱𝟬. Even more concerning—1 in 5 diagnoses now occurs in people under 55, and rates are rising fastest in those in their 20s and 30s.

𝗘𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.
• Caught early: ~90% 5-year survival
• Caught late: ~14% 5-year survival

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸:
• Move your body regularly
• Eat more fiber, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
• Limit red and processed meats
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Don’t smoke
• Limit alcohol
• Keep vitamin D levels healthy

Screening starts at age 45 (earlier if you have risk factors or family history).

𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀:
Persistent bowel changes, blood in stool, abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, or ongoing fatigue.

Bottom line: Lifestyle matters, but screening and early detection save lives.

A lot of what we call “functional medicine” today really isn’t new at all—it’s a return to how healthcare was meant to be practiced. At Ascend Health, the goal isn’t to rush through appointments or mask symptoms. We take time with patients—often an hour or more—because being thorough matters. When you slow down, you start to see patterns, root causes, and connections that don’t show up in a quick visit.

We spend time talking through lifestyle, stress, nutrition, movement, and history because those pieces matter just as much as lab values or imaging. Food is used intentionally to support healing and reduce inflammation, and movement is treated as medicine for the nervous system, joints, and overall function—not just something to “work out” pain.

This approach may feel different from traditional healthcare, but it’s grounded in principles that have been around for over 100 years: treat the whole person, not just the symptom, and give the body what it needs to function well. That’s the kind of care we believe in—and the kind of care our patients deserve.
