Could your next meal be the key to preventing cancer?

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common—but also one of the most preventable—types of cancer. And while it often develops quietly, early screening and smart dietary choices can dramatically reduce your risk.

This week on Aging Less: The Longevity Science Insights Podcast, host Sabrina Oktavelia sits down with renowned medical oncologist and cancer researcher Prof. Ian Olver AM to explore the powerful role of prevention. Together, they unpack how lifestyle, nutrition, and timely screening can help you stay ahead of colorectal cancer—and age with more confidence and control.

Prof. Ian Olver AM is an Adjunct Professor at the University of Adelaide and the University of Notre Dame Australia, with over 390 scientific publications to his name and a Member of the Order of Australia for his service to oncology and public health. In this episode, he shares evidence-based insights into how inflammation, diet, the microbiome, and movement all converge in the fight against colorectal cancer.

Sabrina and Prof. Ian Olver AM discuss the red flags to watch out for, screening tools such as colonoscopy along with other relevant ones, and the powerful impact of fiber, probiotics, and even aspirin. Whether you’re curious about cancer prevention or simply aiming to live longer with vitality, this episode offers practical, science-backed steps to take control of your health—starting today.

Tune in to learn how your plate, your gut, and your preventive checkups could be the key to living not just longer, but better.
