This new episode of Longevity by Design is an interview with our affiliate, John Erdman, PhD, Professor Emeritus in Food Science at Illinois, where they discuss his research and practical advice for proactive health.
In this episode of Longevity by Design, I interviewed Dr. John Erdman from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Personalized Nutrition Initiative at Illinois, to explore the connection between diet and prostate cancer progression. John shares his personal connection to the disease and the motivation behind his groundbreaking research. 🩺 Key Highlights: • Prostate cancer often develops slowly, making early detection through checkups, digital exams, and PSA tests essential. • The debate around these tests continues, but John stresses the importance of tracking changes over time. • His research highlights the role of tomatoes in reducing prostate cancer risk, likely due to lycopene and its metabolites influencing gene expression. • Alongside dietary interventions, maintaining a healthy weight and regular exercise are critical for overall health. 🎧 Tune in to hear John’s insights and practical advice for proactive health management: https://lnkd.in/gjn86YC8 @insideTracker #LongevityByDesign #ProstateCancer #NutritionResearch #HealthPodcast
