Cancer isn’t just random genetic mutations. It doesn’t “just happen.” In this episode, Dr. Connealy pulls back the curtain on what really drives cancer — from mitochondrial breakdown and hidden toxins to stress, parasites, and even low voltage inside your cells. You’ll learn how to hack your environment, strengthen your biology, and prevent disease years before a tumor ever shows up on a scan.

Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy, MD, is one of the most sought-after integrative oncologists in the world. She runs the Cancer Center for Healing and the Center for New Medicine, where she’s been upgrading patient outcomes for nearly four decades. Her new book, The Cancer Revolution, gives you the tools to take back control of your biology and stop cancer before it starts.
