Buy organic produce on the dirty dozen list, and save your money 💵 by buying conventional produce on the clean 15 list. If you want to play it even safer and eat healthier, buy everything organic to minimize toxic exposures and maximize nutrient intake. #cancerdoctor #radonc

A new study finds that 1-in-4 breast cancer patients and survivors have cognitive impairment. Test yourself using the St. Louis University Mental Status (SLUMS) exam, and talk with your healthcare team if the score is abnormal. #breastcancer #cognitiveimpairment #cancerdoctor

Did you know that your immune health depends on your nutrient status? On nutrient testing, most adults have low levels of multiple vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fatty acids. I offer nutrient testing for every interested cancer patient and survivor. #cancerdoctor #radonc
