🚨1 in 8 men will face prostate cancer. Screening for early detection is key to saving lives. Dr. Bob shares why routine screenings matter and how a simple blood test spared one patient from a life-threatening battle.
💡Fear and silence put men at risk. Screening is quick, simple, and could save your future.
👏Thank you to the The People's Paper for publishing this informative article in honor of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.🎗

Every year, 300,000 of men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in the USA—yet too many avoid screenings, often out of fear, embarrassment, or the belief that “it won’t happen to me.”

💙We’re proud to share that 129 PSA blood tests for prostate cancer screening were administered during Cancer Screening Day at the Alaska State Fair. 👏Way to go guys!
🎗Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, but the good news is that when it’s caught early, it’s highly treatable. Because this cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, regular screenings are critical.
👉 Screening Saves Lives.

🫐It’s blueberry season in Alaska! The perfect time to harvest one of nature’s most powerful cancer-fighting foods. Here is why Alaskan Blueberries are the BEST:
💙 Rich in antioxidants that protect your cells
🛡️ Naturally anti-inflammatory
🧬 Support healthy DNA and cell repair
🫐Danielle’s Tip: “Keep it simple! Try a parfait with plain Greek yogurt, fresh blueberries, and nuts for a nourishing combo of protein, healthy fats, and antioxidants.”
🫐Other easy ways: toss into smoothies, sprinkle on oatmeal, or freeze to enjoy all year.
