In this episode, we will be discussing a topic that has surged in popularity and availability since the COVID-19 global pandemic — Telehealth. Sometimes referred to as telemedicine, telehealth lets you see your health care provider without going to their office. You can have a telehealth visit online using your computer, tablet, or smartphone, all from the comfort of your own home. But is telehealth the right option for individuals with a cancer diagnosis? Listen in as we chat with expert clinician, Michele Rager, MS, RDN-AP, LDN, FAND.

Today we are joined by clinical exercise physiologist, Christopher Fitzmaurice, here to talk with us about physical activity and exercise as a prevention and treatment strategy for individuals living with chronic disease, especially those battling cancer. Listen in to learn more about the importance of physical activity and exercise to support a healthy lifestyle.

In this epsiode, we chat with F-U Cancer Founder and CEO, Dr. Shelby Yaceczko, DCN, RDN-AP, CNSC about the 'why' behind F-U Cancer. Shelby shares her passion and expertise while also describing our company's mantra - "Move. Nourish. Thrive."

Regardless of where you are today on your cancer journey, maintaining effective communication with your healthcare team is so very important to ensuring your needs are met and you keep moving in the right direction. In this epsiode, we chat with registered dietitian nutritionist and physician assistant, Collen Sloan, about a novel, but maybe not so novel concept - patient-led communication in the exam room. This term refers to a healthcare approach where the patient actively drives the conversation during a medical appointment, sharing their concerns, questions, and perspectives first, allowing the healthcare provider to listen attentively and respond accordingly, rather than solely directing the discussion with clinical questions.
