In this episode we sit down with Dr. Lea Haverbeck Simon, PhD, MA, ACSM-CEP to talk about how exercise can help treat and prevent Cancer. Dr. Haverbeck-Simon is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah. Dr. Haverbeck-Simon has spent many years studying the impact of diet and exercise in cancer patients.
Today we talk about cancer, and how it is not just one disease, but rather a variety of diseases that share an underlying problem. Dr. Haverbeck shares what happens to the heart, muscle, immune system, quality of life, and more when a patient develops cancer. We then discuss how exercise and diet can be used to prevent/treat various types and aspects of cancer.
At the end of the episode, Dr. Haverbeck-Simon shares some helpful resources for those who would like to learn more about how to incorporate exercise into cancer care.
