LiveWell: Health and Wellness Program with Carla Tanguay

Making healthy lifestyle choices can reduce your risk of cancer. The LiveWell Program is a holistic approach to creating a personal wellness plan focusing on: emotional and spiritual wellness; physical activity; healthy diet; personal environment; and rejuvenation. These five elements are based on the American Cancer Institute’s Five To Thrive program. Accessible steps offer the opportunity for people living with cancer to achieve better treatment outcomes, and to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. This free series is also open to those without a cancer diagnosis who wish to reduce their cancer risk and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Each session will include an explanation of the topic for the week and a guest speaker to talk about specific strategies and resources. Time for questions and discussion will follow. The six weeks of topics are:

Week 1 – March 4 – Introduction to LiveWell, Five to Thrive & Thriving After Cancer.

Week 2 – March 11 – Enhance Your Spirit

Week 3 – March 18 – Let’s Move

Week 4 – March 25 – Enrich Your Diet

Week 5 – April 1 - Create a Healthy Living Environment

Week 6 – April 8 – Create Rejuvenation
