Show Notes

In this episode, Nick Lee OAM, CEO of the Jodie Lee Foundation and co-director of Healthy Minds, highlights the concerning rise in bowel cancer diagnoses among younger people in the past 30 years. He shares his personal story of losing his wife Jodie to stage four bowel cancer, which inspired him to establish the foundation in her honor.

The conversation explores the foundation's mission to promote early detection and prevention through a four-pillar approach: staying active, understanding family medical history, recognise symptoms, and participating in screenings. Nick advocates for policy changes to save lives and discusses the foundation's creative initiatives, including the BEEP trek events, which engage the community and raise funds for their mission.
