Tired of taking more (and more) prescription meds? Here's another example of using food as medicine for weight loss.
No injections required.

Cancer becomes deadly when it spreads. Could what we eat influence that process?

A receptor in our body called CD36 appears to help cancer cells spread. It's upregulated by palmitic acid, a type of saturated fat found in meat, dairy, and processed foods made with palm oil.

This may explain why meta-analyses and a systematic review found that saturated fat negatively impacts breast cancer survival.

📈 People with high saturated fat intake were 50% more likely to die of breast cancer.

🥛 Just one serving of high-fat dairy a day may result in a 50% increased risk of dying from breast cancer.

A similar trend is seen in prostate cancer survival: High-fat dairy intake increases the risk of dying from prostate cancer. It seems the animal fat is problematic.

The good news?

✅ Randomized trials show that when people with early-stage breast cancer lower their saturated fat intake, there is an increase in breast cancer survival.

✅ As a bonus, they experience a reduction in heart disease and diabetes, too.

I used to think milk was the secret to strong bones. Turns out, the story is more complicated than those 'Got Milk' ads. Countries that drink the most milk have the highest hip fracture rates! Leafy greens, beans, and fortified plant milks strengthen bone long-term. What do you drink? Let me know in the comments!

I always thought fish *made* omega-3s. Nope! They get it from plants, just like borrowing umbrellas. Skip the fishy middleman (and the toxins!) and go straight to flax, chia, walnuts, or algae oil. Your heart (and the fish) will thank you! Want more health hacks? Follow me!

Intermittent fasting is one of the four core tools in my Teachable course, "Dr. Seun's Weight Loss Plan." https://drsweightloss.teachable.com/

Recent research from Harvard reconfirms 'IF' can naturally reduce calorie intake, steady blood sugar, lower blood pressure, and improve critical metabolic markers — all without extreme dieting.

It’s a simple structure that helps your body work with you, not against you. Read the Harvard School of Public Health article: https://hsph.harvard.edu/news/the-health-benefits-of-intermittent-fasting/

Intermittent fasting researcher Courtney Peterson discusses her research and her plans for the School's new research kitchen.
