What Happens When Doctors Prescribe Exercise? Dana-Farber’s Research Explained
In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Leslie St. Amant — Exercise Intervention Specialist at the Dieli-Conwright Lab at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
Leslie’s work sits at the powerful intersection of evidence-based science and human-centered care. We dig into what it truly means to prescribe exercise as medicine, how movement directly impacts cancer treatment and recovery, and the groundbreaking clinical research coming out of her lab.
We also talk about the emotional side of her work, how exercise changes lives far beyond the physical, and the hope and resilience she sees in patients every day.
If you're passionate about running, oncology, public health, exercise physiology, or community wellness, this episode will give you a whole new appreciation for how powerful movement truly is.
