AliveAndKickn Podcast - Dr Christina Dieli-Conwright

I sit down with Dr. Christina Dieli-Conwright to discuss exercise and nutrition, esecially as it pertiains to lynch syndrome patients, but all cancer patients and everyone else.  Dr Dieli- Conwright works with cancer survivors exclusively now, and is excited to be working with some of the most vulnerable populations including lynch syndrome patients.  Moving as a message is a tough one especially in the States, but it's a necessary one, especially in the cancer journey.  Christina's clinic at Dana Farber is for Dana Farber patients being treated there, but measurements can be done virtually and remotely.  Everyone has their own motivation for potentially exercising, but sometimes a cancer diagnosis will stimulate a change in behavior.  All exercise is good for lynch syndrome patients, but most importantly, pick the one you're going to do and stick with.   We discuss verbage and terminology in research, trials, and healthcare in general.  Sit less and move more.  Some exercise is better than none.
