[audio mp3="https://pdcn.co/e/rss.art19.com/episodes/66d3010f-e533-41e5-ab62-f1a6f3e19850.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIgljdXJsBjoGRVQ%3D--435795d5c850773aaa4739d968bd77a1dfd6f301"][/audio] Dr. Allyson Ocean Unfiltered: Science, Colons and Calling BS

Allyson with a Y. Ocean with two Ls. And zero chill when it comes to changing the face of cancer care. Dr. Allyson Ocean has been quietly—loudly—at the center of every major cancer breakthrough, nonprofit board, and science-backed gut punch you didn’t know you needed to hear. In this episode, she joins me in-studio for a conversation two decades in the making. We talk twin life, genetics, mitochondrial disease, and why she skipped the Doublemint Twins commercial but still ended up as one of the most recognizable forces in oncology. We cover her nonprofit hits, from Michael’s Mission to Let's Win Pancreatic Cancer to launching the American Jewish Medical Association—yes, that’s a thing now. We get personal about compassion in medicine, burnout, bad food science, and microplastics in your blood. She also drops the kind of wisdom only someone with her résumé and sarcasm can. It's raw. It's real. It's the kind of conversation we should’ve had 20 years ago—but better late than never.
