S05_E02 - Gut Check: Colon Cancer 101

With Special Guest: Dr. Jake Matlock, MD

Colon cancer isn't exactly dinner-table conversation, but maybe it should be. Behind the awkward jokes and uncomfortable colonoscopy prep lies one of the most preventable forms of cancer out there. But how does colon cancer develop? Who's most at risk? And can screening and early detection really save your behind?

On Episode 2 of our show, Dr. Hilden sits down with gastroenterologist, Dr. Jake Matlock to go through everything from prevention to treatment. We'll cover the basics of the condition, weigh the merits of available screening options and discuss the best practices for staying healthy. When it comes to colon health, a little knowledge (and a little humor) goes a long way. We hope you'll join us.
