We’re proud to share that our Patron, Professor Robert Thomas, joined Dr Rupy Aujla on The Doctor’s Kitchen podcast for a fascinating and deeply practical conversation on cancer prevention, lifestyle, and recovery.

Why Lifestyle Matters 🔬

Research from the World Cancer Research Fund explains that around 40% of cancers are linked to modifiable factors, diet, weight, alcohol, tobacco, and activity. In fact, about 1 in 3 cancer cases in high‑income countries could be prevented through improved lifestyle choices.

Why this episode matters 💬

With so much information and misinformation around cancer and health, this episode cuts through the noise. Prof Thomas, a leading NHS oncologist and the UK’s first Integrative Oncologist, brings clarity to complex questions like:

✨ Does sugar cause cancer?

✨ How does red meat or alcohol influence cancer risk?

✨ Can exercise really change cancer outcomes?

📌 He also explains how gut health, supplements, stress, and everyday exposures (like deodorant or microplastics) connect to long-term wellness.

Throughout the 90-minute chat, he shares evidence-based insights with warmth and encouragement, making this a brilliant resource for anyone looking to feel informed and empowered.

💙 Looking for honest, practical tips on diet, movement, and recovery? This is well worth a listen.
