AnCan is always considering Quality of Life and Lifestyle. If you’ve attended our live groups you’ll recognize we never get through a meeting without discussing exercise (JIMMY G!!!), diet or stress relief. Last year’s survey revealed that more than 50% of you increased exercise and decreased stress from attending our groups while 38% made changes in their diet.
The upcoming webinar will focus on these issues. It features ‘rockstar’ speaker, 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 will speak about his research on diet. Dr. Loeb will speak about her research on a plant-based diet, sleep, and exercise..
