We now have 2 versions of this program. A Summer edition and a Winter edition. The winter edition just started and I will provide the information via podcast as well as email. If you’d like to register for the email version, just go to www.cancerdietitian.com/rainbow. For those who want to listen to the episodes, you can also participate in the growth quiz at the beginning, middle and end of the program, and report your fruit and veggie intake via the links in the show notes. For those who participate with the growth quizzes, I provide you with an e-cookbook that has all the recipes as a graduation gift.

The topic for this episode, sponsored by Nestle Health Science, is “Nutrition Options During Treatment.” We will focus today’s episode on the unique needs of people during treatment who are at high risk for malnutrition.

9 - Nutrition and Colon Cancer

On this episode of the Cancer Dietitian Podcast, I’m talking with Scott Cornella, MD of Gastroenterology Associates of the Piedmont about colon cancer screening recommendations. Originally from western North Carolina, Dr. Cornella attended the University of North Carolina for his undergraduate education, where he graduated with honors with a degree in Biology. He stayed in Chapel Hill to obtain his medical degree at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. Dr. Cornella completed his residency in Internal Medicine at the University of Virginia, where he had the distinction of serving as Chief Resident. He subsequently completed a fellowship in Gastroenterology and Hepatology at the University of Virginia. He is board-certified in Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine. Affiliations include the American College of Gastroenterology and the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. What we discuss:  What inspired Dr. Cornella to study gastroenterology Why colonoscopies are recommended for colon cancer prevention How dangerous polyps are and how they affect future screenings The importance of bowel prep Pros and cons of alternative screening options Recommendations for minorities and other high-risk patients Who can perform a colonoscopy What to ask your colonoscopy doctor Colonoscopy prep tips  I also speak with Senior Civic Engagement Specialist at United Health Centers Felica Bennett-Giles about her colonoscopy experience and why she’s become an advocate for early screenings for African Americans.

Today’s topic is “superfoods”, supplements and CBD. It might seem like a strange combination, but I find that sales tactics and marketing efforts for all three are very similar, and play on some misunderstandings that most people have about nutrition, how our bodies work, and what the current evidence shows. To be honest, this topic was just going to be about the idea of superfoods, but with all the CBD craziness, I had an oncologist almost beg me to talk about CBD. So… I decided to throw it in with this one! In typical “Julie style”, this episode is full of the practical, evidence-based nutrition information that you crave, with none of the sensationalism, guilt or pseudoscience.
