Eating to Beat Cancer: What to Know | Dr. Urvi Shah
What if food could help you fight cancer? New research suggests that diet can play a role in improving outcomes for cancer patients, even slowing the progression of the disease. And Dr. Urvi Shah is leading the charge.
Dr. Shah was training to be an oncologist when she was diagnosed with cancer herself. This diagnosis sent her down a rabbit hole of cancer diet research, and today she's contributed to six dietary trials examining whether and how nutrition can play a role in improving outcomes for cancer patients.
In this episode of The Exam Room Dr. Shah and Chuck Carroll discuss:
- How diet could improve outcomes for cancer patients
- The best foods for cancer patients
- The role your gut health plays in recovery
- How to join a cancer diet trial
