Description

How do you decide what goes into your body, and what does that really mean for your health? 

Most of us don’t know where to start, or even realize that things like medicines and everyday products could be depleting our nutrition. Sarah Cain faced cancer, joined a clinical trial, and discovered what science can tell us about the vitamins and supplements we actually need. In this episode, you'll hear:

  • Why early detection and listening to your body can make a difference
  • How nutrition, environment, and even stress affect cancer risk
  • The steps Sarah took that changed her health story

Here’s a link that will take you to the IDLife test that Sarah referenced during the conversation.
