Bowel cancer in people aged 25-45 is up 260%, and the more I learn… the more I know we cannot keep pretending this is normal.
Today I’m sitting down with Nick “Dougie” Dugmore, winemarker, dad and bowel cancer survivor, whose story has hit 1.3M views for a reason.
Since he started talking openly about his diagnosis - nearly 100 polyps have been found (and removed) in people who went to get checked because of him.
This episode isn’t fear mongering, but what I wish someone had told me sooner.
You’ll hear:
~ The symptoms Nick ignored and why so many young people dismiss them
~ How fear, stress + our emotional state can impact cancer recovery
~ Why Nick believes glyphosate is one of the biggest (and silent) problems affecting our generation
~ What’s actually happening in our food supply from a farmer
~ Alcohol, wine culture and whether a glass of red makes a difference to your health
~ How both of us have reframed our diagnoses and rebuilt our lives post cancer
… and SO much more
If you’ve been putting off getting checked… This is your sign.
