What if cancer prevention didn’t mean a drastic life overhaul, but a handful of small choices you can actually keep? We sit down with Hannah, our wellness manager and certified personal trainer with a master’s in nutrition, to unpack practical steps that make a real difference: no guilt, no gimmicks, just habits that fit your life.

We walk through how she personalizes full‑body training for people at every stage of the cancer journey, from diagnosis to remission, and why caregivers benefit when they move alongside their loved ones. Hannah shares simple at‑home starters, 15 to 30 minutes of walking, balance and core basics, and explains how small, consistent actions rebuild strength for everyday tasks like stairs, standing up, and playing with kids. On the nutrition side, she goes beyond buzzwords to a single, sticky rule: flip the label and aim for under 5% Daily Value for added sugar. From protein‑smart breakfasts to serving size sanity checks, she turns “healthy confusion” into clear choices.

Whole‑person health threads through every topic: how stress and poor sleep can drain immunity, how quick guided meditations help reset the nervous system, and why support groups create empathy that fuels better follow‑through. We also dig into prevention must‑knows: age‑appropriate screenings like mammograms at 40 and colonoscopies at 45 (earlier with risk), tobacco cessation resources, and real‑world sun safety. SPF 30 daily matters year‑round, even through clouds and car windows, especially for ears, hands, and that driver’s arm, and UV clothing can make long days outside safer and easier.

If you’ve felt overwhelmed by wellness advice, this conversation brings it back to earth: choose one habit, repeat it, and let momentum build.
