Why Are So Many Young People Getting Cancer?
About this episode
Think cancer only affects older people? Think again—young people are increasingly falling victim to this devastating disease too. In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Mark Hyman explores this alarming surge, a nearly 80% increase in less than 30 years. Discover how chronic inflammation, driven by ultra-processed diets, environmental toxins, and sedentary lifestyles, creates the perfect storm for cancer cells to thrive. But it doesn't have to be this way. Learn more about the critical importance of early cancer screenings and the practical, research-backed solutions that can mitigate your risk.
