About this episode

The episode discusses recent breakthroughs in cancer treatment and the benefits of creatine as a supplement for muscle mass loss.

It has been a season of extraordinary breakthroughs in the treatment of cancer. From a game-changing drug for pancreatic cancer - the most intractable of diseases - to a major advance in lung cancer - to mounting evidence that GLP-1 drugs can prevent cancer or delay its spread. I spoke to Dr. Malcolm Moore, medical oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and a former head of BC Cancer, He told me about the groundbreaking research that was highlighted at the recent American Society of Clinical oncologists annual conference (ASCO). And It’s the supplement everyone’s talking about and the evidence shows that buzz around creatine is more than just hype. It targets one of the biggest problems as we age - losing muscle mass - I spoke with one of leading researchers on its benefits Dr. Mark Tarnopolsky of McMaster University.
