Ep. 90 - Who’s Your Cancer Daddy? A Real Talk About Cancer w/Dr. Joe Zundell

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Dr. Joe Zundell — aka “Cancer Daddy” — for a wide-ranging conversation on cancer science, early detection, and what's actually moving the field forward.

We cover:

• Multi-cancer early detection (MCED) testing and the promise of liquid biopsies

• Accuracy, limitations, and clinical decision-making

• Metabolic vulnerabilities in cancer (Warburg effect, glutamine dependence)

• Epigenetics and tumor biology

• Immunotherapy, targeted therapies, and radiopharmaceuticals

• Translational research and the bench-to-bedside gap

• Drug resistance and evolutionary pressure in cancer treatment

• Personalized risk reduction and prevention strategies

We also get very personal in this episode — discussing loss, integrity in academia, career pivots, and what truly drives Dr. Zundell's mission in cancer research.

This is an honest, science-first, and deeply human conversation about cancer, prevention, innovation, and responsibility in modern medicine.
