In this short clinical monologue, Dr. Dino Prato shares five practical, experience‑based interventions aimed at lowering cancer risk by strengthening the immune system. He emphasizes the foundational role of immunity—largely housed in the gut—and outlines actionable steps: prioritize quality sleep; address insulin resistance; increase daily movement such as walking and exercise; evaluate and optimize thyroid function by focusing on the T3‑to‑T4 ratio rather than just TSH; and improve gut health through a Mediterranean‑style diet while eliminating refined carbohydrates. The advice is presented as a concise, prescriptive checklist for patients seeking to proactively support their immune defenses against cancer.

What if I told you I have a method from my clinical experience that can help you greatly reduce the risk of getting cancer? The first one is sleep. Number 2, fix the insulin resistance. Number 3, you need movement. You need to walk, exercise. Then we want to fix the thyroid. We want to look at the T3 to T4 ratios, not just the TSH. Number 5, focus on the gut. Include that Mediterranean diet. Get rid of those refined carbohydrates because 70% of your immune system is in your gut. The first and last defense against cancer is immunity, and we want to get that immune system moving.
