One of the most frustrating things for me as a licensed naturopathic doctor is seeing people come in with advanced cancers after being told their symptoms were nothing to worry about and never being tested for the right things. That frustration is what pushed me to start my practice because I am tired of people believing they are healthy until they are told they have stage four cancer.

About half of the people I see find their cancer at stage four instead of stage one or two. Sometimes it starts with something small, like rectal bleeding that’s brushed off as hemorrhoids or stomach pain dismissed as IBS or stress. These things can slide by for years if you are not testing and assessing properly.

The first key strategy for cancer prevention is to focus on your gut health. Your gut makes up about seventy percent of your immune system and even produces neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. Cleaning out your gut and supporting a healthy microbiome helps your immune system focus on removing abnormal cells.

The second strategy is fasting. Fasting helps reduce inflammation, balance growth factors like insulin, and trigger autophagy, the body’s natural repair process. Done properly, it supports immune health, energy, and brain function.

The third strategy is to cut out sugar. Excess sugar is toxic to your body and drives inflammation. If you crave sugar, you may have candida overgrowth. Signs can include bloating, heartburn, brain fog, or a white coating on the tongue. Cleaning up your gut for even three to five days can reset your system and reduce cravings.

Track what you eat, when you crave sugar, your stress, and your hydration. These patterns tell you what your body needs. Your body is always communicating with you. When you listen and take action, you can strengthen your immune system and reduce your risk of cancer growth.
