Outsmart Cancer: Listen to your genes
You inherited a deck of cards at birth.
What you put on your plate can help you play them wisely.
Outsmart Cancer: Listen to Your Genes shows how nutrition, metabolism, and common genetic patterns work together — and how simple everyday food choices may help reduce cancer risk.
Drawing on nearly 30 years of experience in nutrition, Marie-France Lalancette makes the science of genes practical, clear, and usable. This book helps you understand how your body may respond to certain foods, and how to build a more personalized way of eating based on your genetic tendencies.
Inside, you'll discover:
- Foods and eating patterns that may help lower cancer risk
- A flexible nutrition plan you can adapt to your own profile
- Clear gene-to-nutrient-to-action guides
- A practical food pyramid for personalized nutrition
- Simple food swaps and ready-to-use menu plans, including low-carb, gluten-free, and dairy-free options
Instead of following a one-size-fits-all diet, you'll learn how to make more informed food choices using everyday ingredients and a prevention-focused approach to nutrition.
If you're looking for a practical way to connect genes, diet, and cancer prevention, this book offers a clear path forward — one meal at a time.
