In this podcast, we dive into Dr Lauren’s personal and professional experience on how to cultivate psychological, emotional and spiritual wellbeing during cancer and in survivorship.

We discuss how an advanced cancer diagnosis can make us hit rock bottom and how can we slowly recover emotionally and spiritually. We discuss the difference between healing and curing and how this is not necessarily related with the state of the disease. We delve into Dr Lauren experience using body-mind approaches such as yoga, mindfulness and spiritual practices. We also discuss specific challenges of survivorship and the use of psychedelics for trauma in cancer survivors.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of exercise in the oncology setting. We discuss the role of exercise in cancer prevention and in different disease stages: pre- and post-surgery, systemic treatment, survivorship, and advanced disease. We detail the benefits of different types of exercise and the risks associated with sedentary behavior. We also discuss specific benefits of exercise for tackling side effects such as fatigue, depression/anxiety, and loss of muscle mass. We discuss the common fear of exercising with lymphedema and possible contraindications of exercise in oncology.
