3 Game changers of our Why
#1 Exercise No one belongs on the couch. Everyone needs to get up and move. We understand when you are going through treatment you may not feel like you have energy, you may feel nauseated, weak, tired, and feeling down. Here is the beauty of it all Exercise helps to minimizes these side effects from chemo and radiation. You will get stronger, become more energized, have less anxiety, and in addition it will also help your mindset. With all the research out there, we now know cancer survivors need to get off the couch and move by doing cardio and strength training, along with adding good nutrition.
#2 Mindset When the doctor gives a diagnosis and prognosis it isn’t your destiny. No one knows their destiny. Therefore, you have to take control of your mind and body, feel those emotions and then do something different to OVERCOME those LIMITED thoughts.
#3 Support Team When you fight cancer you are fighting for your life! We believe in the power of a support team. A support team will give their time, strength, love and care without hesitation. will be part of your support team.
