Beating bowel cancer with Nick Lee OAM, Founder and Chair of the Jodi Lee Foundation
Description
Bowel cancer is also known as the "silent killer” because sometimes it can be asymptomatic, particularly in the early stages of the disease. After lung cancer, bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in Australia. But, it shouldn’t be. If caught early, 99% of treatments are successful.Nick Lee OAM, my guest this week, is on a mission to empower Australians to prevent bowl cancer through the Jodi Lee Foundation, which he set up after the death of his wife, Jodi, from bowel cancer in 2010. Since then, the Jodi Lee Foundation has saved countless lives by raising awareness about bowel cancer and encouraging people to take a simple screening test.I found my conversation with Nick really moving but also uplifting - he’s done so much good in our world.JODI LEE FOUNDATIONJodi Lee Foundation: https://jodileefoundation.org.auSocial media handle: @jodileefoundationBowel Cancer Sympton Checker: https://jodileefoundation.org.au/awareness-campaigns/symptom-checker/Trust Your Gut campaign: https://jodileefoundation.org.au/awareness-campaigns/trust-your-gut/The JLF Trek: https://app.jodileefoundation.org.au/events5 COMMON NUTRITION MYTHS DEBUNKEDDownload my Free Guide and join the Vibrant Lives community here: https://vibrantlivespodcast.com/free-guide/LINKS MENTIONED IN THE PODCASTThe MindBodyBrain Project with Paul Taylor: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/the-mindbodybrain-project/id1534267189Bowl cancer awareness month: https://www.bowelcanceraustralia.org/bowel-cancer-awareness-monthHOW YOU CAN SUPPORT THE PODCASTPlease tell your friends about the podcast and share it with them.Follow me on Instagram @vibrant_lives_podcastFollow my Facebook page: @vibrantlivespodcastIf you could rate and review the podcast on Apple Podcasts, that would be super helpful.Check out ways you can support the podcast on my website: https://vibrantlivespodcast.com/be-involved/

I feel lucky to be able to share Zane Landin’s story with you on Vibrant Lives Podcast. Zane has many strings to his (young) bow but the message that came through very clearly in our discussion was the importance of empathy, storytelling and positivism. For me, this episode was insightful...
