What if most cancer isn’t about bad luck, but about inflammation you can control? Dr. Mary Ann Martin, endocrinologist turned “Dr. Hormone Hacker,” reveals how four lifestyle changes can slash your cancer risk by 78% naturally. In this conversation, she shares the shocking truth about why less than 10% of doctors order the one test that catches diabetes earliest, why your morning cortisol levels predict cancer risk, and how a Vietnamese mother conquered thyroid cancer with her whole family’s help. You’ll discover why alcohol is inflammatory (yes, even small amounts), why smoothies sabotage your health despite seeming virtuous, and how Dr. Martin’s journalism background taught her the lost art of actually listening to patients. She explains why most thyroid nodules aren’t cancer, how to advocate for proper numbing during biopsies, and why your lifestyle matters more than your DNA. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about stacking small changes that add up to massive protection. If you want practical strategies for taking control of your health, this conversation delivers.
