$Cancer Doctors: The New Science That Can Reverse Cancer Everyone knows someone who has been touched by cancer — a parent, a friend, a colleague. Maybe its even you. And for most of us, the story weve inherited about cancer is this: its an older persons disease, something that happens to people who didnt take care of themselves, something that — if you do the right things — you can largely avoid. But that story is fracturing. In November 2024, James Van Der Beek announced that he had been privately battling stage III colorectal cancer. He was forty-six when he was diagnosed. Hed been eating organic, doing cold plunges, exercising — and had no idea anything was wrong until a change in his bowel habits made him finally ask for a colonoscopy. He fought for over two years. In December 2025, he appeared on the Today show and said he felt good. Six weeks later, he was gone. And his story is not the exception. Chadwick Boseman passed away at forty-three. Kate Middleton was diagnosed at forty-two. Just a couple of months ago, Tatiana Schlossberg — JFKs granddaughter — died at thirty-five. The numbers behind these stories are staggering. From 1990 to 2019, early-onset cancer rates rose nearly eighty percent globally. One in two people will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime. This isnt a distant threat — its the most personal health reality of our time. So what is actually happening? How much of this is lifestyle, and how much is just bad luck? In this episode, we go all the way into it with two of the most respected doctors youll find anywhere on this topic. Dr. William Li is one of the worlds leading cancer researchers. He helped develop over forty treatments that are actively changing outcomes for patients right now. He has also watched someone he loves face a stage IV diagnosis and be told by her doctor there was nothing left to do. He didnt accept that. She is alive today because of it. Dr. Dawn Mussallem spent over two decades as an integrative oncologist at Mayo Clinic. She has sat with hundreds of people at every stage of this disease. She has also been one of them. In her mid-twenties, three months into medical school, she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer and given months to live. That was twenty-five years ago, and she is still here, healed. If there are two people on earth who can tell you what you actually need to know about cancer, its the two people in this conversation.
