How does a 35-years-young man with no family history or symptoms get a prostate cancer diagnosis? It’s an “old man’s disease”! This shocking diagnosis changed Gabe Canales’s life in 2010. After a doctor asked him, “What’s your diet?”, Gabe’s eyes were opened to realize that his diet may have contributed to his disease, and that his family history is full of diet-related chronic issues such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and obesity.  Gabe Canales is a prostate cancer survivor. He became a men’s health advocate and established the Blue Cure Foundation in 2010. Gabe has given a TedX talk and many other health keynotes nationwide, as well as making contributions to the Houston Chronicle and HuffPost. He has also been featured in Forbes.
