In this special live episode recorded during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, she sits down with Kevin Conroy, CEO of Exact Sciences and the force behind Cologuard; Judy Faulkner, founder and CEO of Epic Systems; and epidemiologist Dr. Caitlin Murphy to dig into why this disease keeps striking younger people. They cover the leading theories like ultra-processed foods, microplastics, the microbiome and debate whether the screening age should drop below 45, and get into the symptoms doctors too often brush off. If you know someone in their 30s or 40s, send them this one. It could save a life.
