Does this thing/ingredient/diet CAUSE cancer?
My relative got cancer but has NO idea what to do. What should she eat?
Will I get cancer if it's in my GENES? Do I need treatment now?
I want to help, but HOW do I avoid it myself if it runs in the family?
(Yes, we get questions like these even from medical doctors and university-trained dietitians and nutritionists).
Questions like that inspired us to bring practical science closer to those who want to help others lose weight, in the right way.
This course is our combined know-how in cancer biology, epigenetics, nutrition biochemistry, and nutrigenomics.
If you want to stay resilient and enjoy a long, happy life, we believe that you need to understand this disease and the ageing process, from a molecular perspective.
So, how do you do it?
Fortunately, that's exactly what you're about

Fortunately, that's exactly what you're about
Why don't we have a cure... or do we?
What do cancer and the ageing process have in common?
Can I protect myself from the thousands of potential cancer cells produced in my body every day?
How can I be sure which foods and substances lead to cancer, and which ones are just 'hearsay'?
What's the evidence on fasting, caloric restriction, low-protein eating, low-fat eating, high-fat ketogenic eating, veganism, pescatarianism, gluten-free eating, alkaline diets, and other special diets?
What's the truth behind each diet (or what isn't)?
Which molecular effects do they have on cancer risk and anti-ageing (IF ANY?)
Understanding WHAT makes a normal cell become a cancer cell
Seeing HOW a cancer cell looks like, what it does, how it (mis)behaves, and what may stop it
Knowing the TRUTH about "this or that causes cancer" hearsay
Discovering WHAT stops thousands of potential cancer cells in your body every day
Learning HOW to make the right food decisions for different cancer types and inherited risks
Solving the puzzle of contradictory advice, or WHY foods that reduce your risk for one cancer type actually increase your risk for another
Digestive system
More scientific in viewing cancer and ageing
More educated than afraid of this fatal disease
More confident when you talk about what can be a scary subject
And more in control in helping minimise your risk against it
There’s so much misconception out there about how to truly reduce cancer risk or eat for lifespan extension.
Everyone seems to be talking and writing about cancer prevention tips. “Eat this”; “Don’t eat that”; “Alert: this will give you cancer!”.
However, most celebrity “experts” and bloggers don’t have a clue about what cancer is.
Let alone what truly causes it, or why.
That’s the problem!
Internet searches on anti-cancer and anti-ageing just aren’t enough (nor safe).
There are just too many fallacies out there, and this can cost you your health… especially if you make the mistake of following wrong advice.
At The Health Sciences Academy, we take this seriously. You see, we don’t just teach health and nutrition science.
We actually ARE SCIENTISTS who investigate, dissect and DO SCIENCE.
We aren’t bloggers. We aren’t internet personalities.
We’re professional scientists running scientific experiments, with decades of combined experience both in the lab and on the field, including world-leading research hubs like the Harvard Cancer Center.
In other words: WE ACTUALLY DO THIS STUFF…
We know how hard it is to find truly skilled practitioners who know what they’re talking about.
And that’s why we created the Nutrition for Cancer Prevention and Longevity certification.
So you don’t have to keep “guessing” the whats, hows, and whys.
As scientists in this domain, we have done the research.
And we want to share this intelligence with YOU…
Manual for the prevention of common solid cancers - including molecular subtypes, epidemiology, risk factors, diet and lifestyle tips for different solid cancers, such as skin, lung, breast, colorectal, pancreatic, prostate, and more.
Manual for the prevention of common blood and lymph cancers - including molecular subtypes, epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, diet and lifestyle tips for different blood and lymph cancers, including leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma.

If you’re a BUSINESS OWNER in the food, drinks, or nutraceuticals sectors, this evidence-based certification is a great way to learn the effects of different diets, nutrients, and ingredients – all fitted around cancer-risk mitigation and healthier longevity evidence. It’s also an excellent way to keep up-to-date with the latest research and best practices, so you can better communicate to your customers the value of your brand and the benefits of your products.
If you’re a STUDENT, this certification can add to your knowledge-base on subjects that your degree or curriculum may not cover in depth, so you can obtain the specialised knowledge that potential employers and clients value and seek, whilst gaining the clarity that you need surrounding the evidence on controversial discussions around cancer risk and longevity.
If you’re a BENEFACTOR, this certification can give you the communication tools that you need to broach the complex and sensitive subject of cancer risk, helping you to become more valuable to your charity or non-profit, raise your work’s worth and credibility, and have the evidence-based knowledge needed to gain more supporters, more donations, and more resources.
If you’re a MEDICAL DOCTOR, GP, or NURSE, this evidence-based CPD-accredited certification will help you update and expand your knowledge on cancer biology and the ageing process, alongside the research behind dietary and lifestyle interventions for mitigating cancer risk and supporting healthier longevity, so you can feel more at ease when communicating with patients, their families, and survivors. You'll also gain an insight into what questions need to be answered before, during and after diagnosis or an intervention, and you’ll be able to better articulate the effects of different foods, special diets, and alternative strategies on cancer risk and human lifespan.
Or if you’ve been DIAGNOSED or IN REMISSION, this education will give you the fundamental knowledge that you need in order to understand what’s true and what isn’t about common cancer claims, what truly happens inside the body so you can focus on getting stronger and more resilient, and which dietary and lifestyle changes may support the efficacy of medical therapies. Plus, you'll also be getting workbooks for questions to ask a medical doctor before, during and after diagnosis or an intervention, so you can have the information necessary to face this life-changing process with more ease and reassurance.
