The NIH notes the condition is rare overall but more common in people over 50, with memory disruption that resolves once the episode ends.

Couric's Three Practical Steps to Lower Colon Cancer Risk

Couric notes colon cancer is rising among younger people and outlines three prevention pillars: eat a mostly plant-based diet with minimal ultra-processed foods, exercise regularly (e.g., Pilates, walking, strength training), and stay up to date with screenings (colonoscopy or at-home tests like Cologuard) to detect or prevent cancer. She cites her husband’s death and her own health journey, including a recent colonoscopy that found and removed polyps, to stress the importance of early detection and accessible screening.
