Listen Later

In this episode of the Cancer Secrets Podcast, Dr. Jonathan Stegall highlights groundbreaking research on the role of exercise in reducing cancer recurrence, particularly after treatment for colon cancer. Dr. Stegall breaks down a new large-scale study presented at ASCO, which found that regular, structured exercise led to a significantly lower risk of cancer coming back and even reduced mortality rates over time for colon cancer survivors. He also reviews previous research and shares the powerful point that, if exercise were a drug, it would be worth billions because of its incredible health benefits.

Dr. Stegall goes beyond the numbers by offering practical, science-backed exercise recommendations for everyone—whether you’re fighting cancer, in remission, or focused on prevention. He explains how combining resistance training and cardiovascular activity, along with a bit of stretching, can make a transformative difference for your body and mind. The emphasis is on keeping things simple, safe, and adaptable for all fitness levels, with tips for getting started even if gyms seem intimidating.

Inspired by the latest evidence, Dr. Stegall’s message is clear: it’s never too late to make exercise a cornerstone of your health routine. Start where you are, pick an activity you enjoy, and talk to your healthcare provider before beginning. Let this episode be your encouragement to lace up those shoes and take a step toward a stronger, healthier future!
