Beyond the Bathroom: Colon Cancer, Early Detection, and Women’s risk
Wednesday, 28 January, 2026
Colon cancer is one of the most preventable cancers, yetit’s often misunderstood, overlooked, or avoided altogether. This episode is for anyone who thinks they’re “too young,” feels fine but hasn’t been screened, or wants to better understand colon cancer from both a scientific and deeplypersonal perspective. Joined by colon cancer researcher Patricia Wolf and nurse practitioner Brittany Koopman, who is also living with colon cancer herself, we break down common myths, early warning signs, screening options, and why women in particular may be missed or dismissed.Listeners can expect an honest, approachable conversation that blends research, real-world clinical insight, and lived experience, plus practical takeaways on nutrition, prevention, and why keeping up with all cancer screenings couldsave your life.
