EP 79: Medical Mondays Replay (4-28-25) - RFK Jr and FDA Ban Food Dyes | Tina Knowles Breast Cancer | Celebrity Weight Loss Lizzo | Dr. Frita

On today’s episode, we’re starting with Beyonce’s mom, Tina Knowles, and her courageous breast cancer wake-up call. Did canceling her mammograms for four years almost cost her life? We’ll break down how early detection saves lives, why Black women face higher breast cancer death rates, and how YOU can prioritize your health, no matter how busy life gets.

But that’s not all! The FDA just announced plans to ban six artificial food dyes, colors you might be eating every day. We’ll unpack what this means for your food, your family, and even your kids' behavior. Are natural replacements really better? Let’s discuss! Also, whooping cough cases have DOUBLED, bringing us dangerously close to 1950s numbers. What’s going on with vaccination rates in America?

We’ll bust myths and share facts you won’t hear anywhere else. And finally, we’re spilling the tea (or coffee) on what Lizzo and Jason Biggs taught us about small habit changes. Coffee drinks, ice cream pints, high cholesterol, weight loss - the healthy lessons are everywhere.
