Can preparing your body before and during cancer treatment really make a difference in your recovery? I explore this revolutionary concept of "prehab" inspired by Dr. Jessica Cheng's powerful phrase "prehab for all." As a physical therapist with experience in cancer rehabilitation, I'll share how mobility, support groups, and a deeper understanding of treatment can significantly enhance recovery outcomes.

We also face the challenges head-on: the scarcity of specialized therapists, the lack of public awareness, and the barriers to accessing these crucial services. By advocating for "prehab," even a few rehab visits can make a substantial difference in your journey.

Whether you're undergoing treatment, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in a holistic approach to cancer care, this episode aims to empower you with knowledge and encourage proactive steps towards better health and well-being.

How does understanding your family's past shape the resilience of future generations? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Daniel Mamah, a distinguished psychiatrist and author, to uncover the incredible story behind his book "As the Rivers Merge."
