There ya have it. The number one risk factor for reoccurrence of cancer is having had it in the first place. Message me. I'd love to help you increase your chance of survival and improve your quality of life.

Exercise is medicine-and now we have even stronger evidence to prove it.

This is another powerful reminder that exercise isn’t just about improving fitness or quality of life—it can improve survival. Every cancer survivor deserves access to safe, evidence-based exercise programming.

When you or a loved one have cancer or have been through treatment, you/they could stick with your usual personal trainer or maybe go with that sweet well intentioned recently certified college athlete at the gym who probably has never worked a day in his or her life in an actual healthcare setting and probably doesn't have much experience with even their own health issues. And you just might be okay, Or not. Or you/they could find someone like me, over 25 years working in hospitals, rehab centers, nursing homes, home health, and outpatient centers. Someone who is not just a fitness professional but an actual healthcare professional; someone who has multiple certifications in cancer exercise; someone who has a business specifically devoted to those on the cancer journey; someone who has countless connections in the local and national cancer community; someone who is middle aged and has had his own list of health problems and spent many nights in hospital beds receiving his own treatment. And I travel to your home so you don't have to incur more travel while you struggle through so many other challenges. You see, "a generic workout plan isn't just ineffective for cancer survivors. It can be dangerous. Surgery alters structural integrity. Chemotherapy affects the heart, nerves, and muscles. Radiation hardens tissue and restricts mobility. And yet, most fitness programs treat post-cancer bodies exactly the same as everyone else's.That gap between what cancer survivors need and what they're actually getting? It's costing them their recovery." Read on...then message or call me, because at this point in life, you or your loved one need and deserve more than generic. https://strongerbydesign.substack.com/p/cookie-cutter-fitness-has-no-place?r=2msg06&utm_campaign=post-expanded-share&utm_medium=web&utm_id=97757_v0_s00_e233_tv2_tp1_a1dennhb6z57a6&fbclid=IwY2xjawSMO6FleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEe8rPXj672EBqKbHK1MjZHSkNUqWJrx2IJcAXwhHLdGjOTww51NowKsBrGdlM_aem_GP5pNu6mbCEl0yWSsUDzpA&triedRedirect=true

In a culture obsessed with optimization - biohacking, wearable data, AI-generated workout plans - it might seem like we finally have the tools to personalize fitness for everyone.

Lymphedema. Cancer's dirty little secret that your oncologist probably didn't tell you much about, if at all. The right kind of exercise under the guidance of a CETI certified trainer can be of tremendous help in managing and decreasing it. Message me and let's get it done.

If you or your client/patient has had lymph nodes removed or irradiated during cancer treatment, it is essential to perform lymphatic drainage exercises to open up lymphatic pathways and improve lymphatic flow to avoid lymphedema.

Lymphedema is swelling that generally occurs in an arm or leg, but can also occur in the chest wall, abdomen, neck and ge****ls. The condition is caused by a blockage in the lymphatic system, part of the immune and circulatory systems. Lymphedema is most commonly caused by lymph node removal or damage due to cancer treatment.

As a CETI OncoVie® Cancer Exercise Specialist you will learn all about lymphedema and lymphatic drainage exercises as part of our extensive curriculum.

To cancer survivors and the fitness professionals who work with them - this one’s for you.

A generic workout plan isn’t just ineffective for cancer survivors. It can be dangerous. Surgery alters structural integrity. Chemotherapy affects the heart, nerves, and muscles. Radiation hardens tissue and restricts mobility. And yet, most fitness programs treat post-cancer bodies exactly the same as everyone else’s.That gap between what cancer survivors need and what they’re actually getting? It’s costing them their recovery.

In my latest article, I break down exactly why cookie-cutter fitness has no place in cancer recovery - and what every fitness professional working with this population needs to know.

Whether you’re a survivor navigating your own recovery or a professional building programs for complex clients, this is required reading.

Say what ?!? Bee venom? Yes. And as a recent acquaintance reminded me, this is not new. Ask the ancient Greeks. And it's not just for skin cancer. Nature will provide.

Malignant melanoma is one of the most lethal human malignancies, particularly when it spreads from its initial site in the skin to distant locations with few therapeutic options. While a range of treatment approaches exist, such as chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, they t...
