The Healthy Matters Podcast
Season 2 - Episode 05 - Yep, We’re Talking About Your Colon...
A wise man once said that the colon is the organ that is responsible for modern human society (it’s actually our guest who said this, which, in itself, is probably deserving of its' own episode). From colonoscopy prep to polyps, in this episode, we shed some light on an organ that literally lives where the sun doesn't shine.
Okay, enough jokes. Colon cancer is the third leading cause of cancer - in both men and women - and it’s estimated that without proper screening, approximately 8% of the population (1 in 12 people) will get it. That’s a pretty high number for something that can be effectively treated if identified early on. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Jake Matlock, Director of the division of Gastroenterology at Hennepin Healthcare, as we go over the function of the colon, your options for screenings and current guidelines, and what can be done to reduce your associated risks. Just in time for Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month in March - it's colon health! - on the Healthy Matters Podcast (seriously, where else are you going to hear this?). Join us!
