On May 31st, we hosted a webinar full of great information for not just prostate cancer patients, but for all! Titled “Optimizing Sleep, Exercise, and Nutrition in Prostate Cancer“, we learned best practices for the foods we eat, to how sleep apnea can impact our whole health.
The program features Dr. Stacy Loeb, professor of Urology and Population Health at the New York University School of Medicine and the Manhattan Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and Dr. Justin Gregg, Assistant Professor of Urology and Health Disparities Research at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, of UT MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Dr. Gregg discusses his research on diet. Dr. Loeb discusses her research on a plant-based diet, sleep, and exercise.
