Even if cancer hasn’t touched your family, it’s still a good idea to stay informed about your health. About 4 in 10 people will face cancer at some point, and many factors like lifestyle, environment, and natural changes in our cells over time can play a role.

Learning more and making small healthy choices can make a difference! 💜

Did you know February is also National Cancer Prevention Month? 💜
Wearing lavender helps raise awareness for all cancers and serves as a reminder to stay in tune with your body, make healthy choices, and get regular checkups and recommended screenings.

It’s the first of the month! 💚
February brings awareness to Gallbladder and Bile Duct Cancer, represented by the color kelly green.

These rare cancers affect the gallbladder and bile ducts, which help the body digest fats. Some possible symptoms may include jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), abdominal discomfort, or unexplained changes in weight or digestion.

If you are experiencing symptoms or have concerns, contact your medical provider.

There is a lot of nutrition misinformation surrounding cancer, and sugar is one of the most common concerns we hear.

Research has not shown that eating sugar makes cancer grow faster or that cutting out sugar will cause cancer to shrink or disappear. That said, diets high in sugar can contribute to weight gain, and obesity is associated with an increased risk of several types of cancer.

Everyone’s cancer journey is different. If you have questions about nutrition during or after a cancer diagnosis, we recommend consulting your healthcare team.
