We’ve all heard health tips that sound convincing, especially when they’re passed around in casual conversation or shared in social media reels.

Things like, “Cut out sugar and you’ll starve cancer,” or “Superfoods can cure disease.” These kinds of statements might sound reassuring, but are they backed by science?

After teaching my 6 Pillars of Health and Wellness at a local school, I found myself fielding lots of interesting questions from teachers, especially around cancer and lifestyle habits.

Can you really shrink cancer by cutting out sugar? Is cancer contagious? Are superfoods the magical cure we’ve all been waiting for?

In this episode, I unpack some of the most frequently asked (and misunderstood) questions about cancer and lifestyle habits, inspired by my recent wellness sessions with school staff.
