Dr. Sanjay and Greg talk about the various dilemmas cancer patients run into and the very real consequences that come as a result.

The good news is that Greg Simon has some plans to radically change the healthcare system for the better!

Biohacks to lower your risk of getting cancer

Dr. Greg Bailey, CEO and Co-Founder of Juvenescence, has been heavily involved in anti-aging for several years now. He's discovered, along with the help of his colleagues, the main contributors of cancer and more importantly, how to live a longer, healthier life. From bio hacks to how your BMI can dramatically affect your risk of getting cancer, Dr. Bailey and Dr. Sanjay discuss it.

Is Hereditary Cancer A Risk?

Dr. Sanjay Junega sits down with Dena Goldberg , a genetic counselor practicing in Los Angeles. Dena clarifies that all cancer is genetic, but not all cancer is hereditary. They talk about the different types of genetic tests, and Dena cautions people on only using one option as it is not completely accurate. The most valuable aspect of speaking to a genetic counselor is the counseling aspect. There is psychosocial and emotional stress that comes with cancer risk or believing you are at risk.

This is More Important Than Medicine for Cancer Patients

Doctor Tommy Martin specializes in combined internal medicine and pediatrics. From his early days in residency, he's had a few encounters throughout his career that really changed his perspective on life and, even more, helped him discover his purpose. Tommy believes that sometimes patients need something medicine can't provide, the human touch.
