When it comes to living a healthy, full life, you must take inventory of your daily routine—it can inform the current and future state of your health. This week, I’m joined by Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, a leading expert in integrative medicine, who is known for addressing the root cause of disease, including cancer. We sat down to discuss cancer prevention, early detection, and how key lifestyle changes can treat and prevent disease.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • How to Prevent Disease: In that same vein, there are steps you can take to help your body help you. It all starts with how you live your 24-hour day, says Dr. Connealy. As for what you can do to Take Back Your Health™? Address your emotional state, detoxify, go outside, exercise, boost your vitamin C intake, clock in quality sleep, eat a paleo diet, and limit daily stressors wherever possible.
  • Early Detection Signs: While Dr. Connealy says bloodwork doesn’t typically reveal a cancer diagnosis, there are markers you should be cognizant of. If your C reactive protein (“a nonspecific marker for inflammation”), for example, is over 0.5, that is something to be weary of because “inflammation is the precursor to all diseases,”
