🧬 Episode Summary:

What if you already had one of the most powerful cancer-fighting tools in your body—before you were even diagnosed?

In this episode, we dive deep into the science showing how a high VO₂ Max—your oxygen fitness score—acts like a biological shield even after a prostate cancer diagnosis. We explore eight science-backed mechanisms using simple, powerful analogies to explain how raising your oxygen efficiency slows tumor growth, supercharges your immune system, clears inflammation, and boosts your recovery from treatment.

This is not a theory. It’s evidence-based, molecular medicine simplified.

  • How high VO₂ Max limits tumor growth by slowing angiogenesis

  • Why fit people have better immune “surveillance” to detect and destroy cancer cells

  • How oxygen efficiency removes inflammation, insulin spikes, and cancer-friendly environments

  • Why elite fitness enhances treatment response and recovery after surgery or radiation

  • How internal “myokine” molecules from exercise launch an anti-cancer strike force

  1. Fewer Roads, Slower Spread – How VO₂ Max limits the blood vessel growth that cancer needs

  2. More Patrol Cars on the Streets – Supercharging your immune system with every workout

  3. Clearing the Smog – How better oxygen use flushes out toxic inflammation

  4. Cutting Off the Supply Lines – Shutting down cancer’s food: insulin and IGF-1

  5. Lighting Up the Battlefield – How fitness improves treatment accuracy, especially radiation

  6. Sending in the Special Forces – Meet the cancer-killing molecules your muscles make

  7. Silencing the Cheering Crowd – Reducing visceral fat and its tumor-boosting hormones

  8. Healing Like a Superhero – Why fit people recover faster and better from cancer therapy

💡 At the end, we break down “The Perfect Health Lesson”—our complete blueprint for raising your VO₂ Max and dramatically lowering disease risk, backed by Nobel-level research.

  • Men over 40 (especially concerned about prostate cancer)

  • Anyone looking to lower their chronic disease risk

  • Listeners interested in molecular-level fitness science

  • People tired of fad diets and ready for evidence-based action

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
