87. How Dry January Can Help You Avoid Dying From Cancer (And Also Lose Weight and Live Healthier Longer!) 24:00

14 weeks ago24:00

24:00

Dr. Vivek Murthy, in one of his last acts as Surgeon General of the U.S., issued an advisory highlighting alcohol use as a leading preventable cause of cancer, behind tobacco and obesity. Did you know that alcohol increases the risk for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and at least 5 other types of cancer? The key takeaway from his advisory is that alcohol related cancer is PREVENTABLE . Today, Dr. Lisa walks through how to approach a month of cutting out (or down) alcohol, whether for Dry January, Sober October, or any 30 day stretch you'd like to tackle. This same approach can be used to take a break from any other habit that isn't serving you, from eating fast food or sweets, to snacking, to excessive online shopping, to scrolling through Instagram past your bedtime. Habit change is possible, and this (non judgemental) conversation about the link between alcohol and cancer can be the impetus to transform your health in 2025. We'd be honored if you'd share today's podcast with anyone you love who might be interested in knowing about the connection between alcohol & cancer. Thanks for listening!
