80. It Might Not Be Hemorrhoids: Marisa Peters Shares Her Rectal Cancer Journey to Victory

Rectal cancer is on the rise and it’s high time we shine a light on it.
Because let’s face it, our health - and even our bathroom habits, deserve our attention. Yes, we’re talking about poop! But before you hit pause or start squirming in your seat, let me tell you why you need to stick around.
Joining us today is Marisa Peters, a true warrior who battled and survived rectal cancer. Not only is she a survivor, but she’s also a passionate advocate of women’s health. Motivated by her triumphant battle against late-stage cancer, Marisa founded Be Seen, a movement dedicated to emphasizing the significance of self-advocacy during pivotal moments in our lives. Marisa is a mother to three boys and previously had a career on Broadway as a vocalist.
Today, she’s not here just to share her story but to shed light on this topic that’s often shrouded in silence. We’re delving into the signs and symptoms of rectal cancer, and all those little red flags that might be waving when your digestive system isn’t quite on its A-game. And most importantly: regular screenings.
Get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe even cringe a little as we discuss all things related to rectal health. Trust me, you won’t want to miss this!

Butcher Box
I was SHOCKED to hear that when I buy frozen fish, it's frozen TWICE. It's usually frozen right after being caught, defrosted, processed, and then frozen again. I buy a lot of frozen fish; sometimes, the taste and texture can be inconsistent.
Now that I have a better understanding of the processing of the fish before it hits my plate, it makes me wonder about quality. I called a friend who works at ButcherBox and asked her about the process with their salmon. She assured me that BB only freezes the fish ONCE! Which helps preserve the nutrients and taste.
The big one for me is texture. When I eat fish, I want a firm texture, not rubbery! After getting over my shock (yes, fooled again by the food corporations),
I asked my BB friend if I could pretty-please offer free salmon to my community. She said yes, so if you use the code 'enos', you can get free salmon (2 pounds) free for a year and $20 off of your first box.

Did you know that GUM floss is PFAS free?
PFAS is a forever chemical that many top brands include in their floss,and that's the last thing I want in my mouth!
GUM is available at major retailers, including Costco, making it easy to change your brush every three months as the dentist recommends. Happy brushing!
