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.

S12 Ep 25Colorectal Cancer and The Couric Effect - Continued: Awareness to Action to Advocacy
Colorectal cancer is one of the few cancers that can often be prevented through screening, yet far too many people aren’t getting screened on time. In this episode of Medically Speaking, Dr. Eve Glazier welcomes back the show’s very first guest, award-winning journalist Katie Couric, for an ongoing conversation and call to action for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Joined by Fola May, MD, PhD, UCLA gastroenterologist, and researcher, they discuss what’s changed in the conversation around colorectal cancer, why screening matters more than ever, the symptoms people should never ignore, and how to choose among today’s screening options. They also explore the barriers that keep people from follow-through — and why turning awareness into action can save lives.

S12 Ep 24One on One with CA Governor Gavin Newsom
California Governor Gavin Newsom has spent his career outrunning a public image that reduces him to a caricature—slick, ambitious, and impossibly polished. But in this wide-ranging conversation, recorded in-person in Los Angeles, Newsom explains why his new memoir, A Young Man in a Hurry, is an earnest attempt to show people the person behind the persona. (So far, most reviews agree that it is.) Now a leading Democratic voice taking on Donald Trump, Newsom describes his approach (in short: “punch that bully in the face”) and wrestles with how his record in California will play on the national stage—offering a revealing look at his vision for the US in the coming years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

S12 Ep 19The Heart of Longevity with Dr. Rhonda Patrick
Longevity is having a moment far beyond Silicon Valley, and as we all look not just to live longer but to live better, In this episode of Next Question, Katie sits down with longevity researcher Dr. Rhonda Patrick.What the science makes clear is that aging isn’t a simple cause-and-effect story. Genetics do matter, but they are only part of the picture and research shows it may be a smaller part then we think. How quickly your body declines — and what you do to combat disease and promote healthy cells along the way — plays a much bigger role.The conversation covers why exercise is the closest thing we have to a longevity drug, why heart health impacts everything from mobility to brain function, and how supporting blood flow and oxygen delivery can make a meaningful difference as we age.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
