Sami (Papacek) Mansfield: Leverage Resistance Training for Cancer Survivors

Sami (Papacek) Mansfield posted the following on LinkedIn:

“An excellent post as always from a voice of knowledge and implementation!! This topic of how GLP-1 drugs should be used in the cancer survivor population to improve obesity and reduce risk of recurrence is not only an important one both for clinicians and individuals.

Key takeaway. We need to leverage resistance training!!! Followed by nutrition and protein but exercise oncology is the key and lifestyle medicine is the foundation of longevity!!”
