Caring for Your Mind and Body Through Cancer

Wednesday, June 3 | Noon–1:15 p.m. 

Life during and after cancer doesn’t always mean a quick return to “normal.” Many survivors continue to experience physical, emotional, and relationship‑related challenges long after treatment ends. This interactive panel brings together experts in mindfulness, nutrition, physical fitness, sexual health, relationships, and parenting to talk honestly about what recovery can really look like.

Survivorship is about more than being cancer‑free—it’s about healing the whole person. This webinar offers evidence‑based insights and realistic tools to help you care for your mind, body, and relationships at your own pace, while reminding you that you are not alone.

During this session, you can expect practical guidance, real‑world strategies, and compassionate discussion focused on:

  • Managing fatigue, pain, sleep concerns, and stress
  • Rebuilding strength and confidence through movement
  • Navigating nutrition misinformation and focusing on balance
  • Addressing sexual health, self‑image, and intimacy
  • Supporting relationships, communication, and family life
  • Talking with children and teens about cancer and recovery

Food Fight: 3 Diets from Cancer Dietitians

Wednesday, June 17 | Noon–1:00 p.m.

Nutrition advice after a cancer diagnosis can feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes contradictory. Keto, Mediterranean, plant‑forward—what actually helps, and what’s just noise?

In this engaging webinar, three registered oncology dietitians break down popular dietary approaches and explain:

  • What each diet is (and isn’t)
  • What the science actually says for people affected by cancer
  • Potential benefits and limitations of each approach
  • How to choose an eating pattern that fits your body, lifestyle, and goals

There is no one‑size‑fits‑all “cancer diet.” This session empowers you with credible, easy‑to‑understand information so you can make informed choices without guilt, fear, or pressure—focusing on nourishment, balance, and sustainable habits that support long‑term health.
