Today we learn about a sensitive subject almost everyone will have experienced in one way or another – cancer.

In our 17th episode, coming close to the end of series 1, we meet Angela Poff, a research associate from the University of South Florida & medical consultant at 'Poff Medical Consulting & Communications'. Angela completed her PhD investigating the effect nutrition can have as a secondary treatment or preventative to cancer development. She has continued with this research in her current role and her team are making huge strides in this field. Throughout the show we discuss: What is cancer and what treatments are out there?

What research is currently being conducted in this field & how can it help us? I hope you enjoy this episo
