GI cancers are skyrocketing in young people. Colon cancer killed Chadwick Boseman at 43. And, we can all drastically lower our cancer risks almost immediately. In this episode, a top surgeon shares exactly how.

Today’s guest is Dr. Karan Rajan, an NHS surgeon, who has worked with the UN, World Health Organization, and British Red Cross. He shares the three things you can do every single day to lower your risk of GI cancer, what's actually driving chronic inflammation, and the one highest-return, lowest-effort habit for your health—plus he's running through his honest thoughts on cold plunges, seed oils, GLP-1s, saunas, and more sharing exactly what the science says.
