February is National Cancer Prevention Month, and World Cancer Day is February 4. It’s a good time to talk about something that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: muscle loss during cancer treatment.

For many people with cancer, losing muscle affects treatment, quality of life, and outcomes. Severe muscle and weight loss, known as cancer cachexia, contributes to nearly one-third of cancer-related deaths.

That’s why researchers are paying closer attention to the role of movement and strength.

According to the American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR), muscle loss during cancer treatment is common. Scientists are exploring how exercise may help protect muscle and preserve strength during treatment.

One of those researchers is Dr. Michael De Lisio, PhD, an AICR grantee and associate professor at the University of Ottawa.

“Maintaining muscle plays an important role in cancer survival,” says De Lisio. “Unfortunately, there are no treatments for this condition available, mostly because we don’t fully understand what causes cachexia.”

His work focuses on why muscle breaks down during cancer and how exercise might help slow or prevent that loss. His research suggests that certain muscle cells may trigger the muscle-wasting process, and that exercise could help restore healthier muscle function.

Staying active and as strong as possible is key to everyone’s health and wellbeing. Exercise should support your health at every stage of life.

The body follows where the mind leads.
It’s easy to get caught up in doubts — “Am I too old for this?” or “What if I can’t?”

But here’s the truth:
Attitude is a choice.
Belief is a skill you can practice.
And strength? It starts inside.

Whether you’re walking into the gym, picking up a paddle, or simply choosing to show up for yourself today — what you think you can do will most likely happen.

So think strong. Think capable. Think you’ve got this... because you do. 🙌

“Stand up straight!”

“Stop slouching!”

We all used to hear that as children, right? It’s even more important now, later in life.

Parents might tell their kids to correct their posture more to instill pride and project confidence. But good posture is about a lot more at this stage of life.

As we age, our bodies are “de-volving” into a more rounded, slumped posture. Not only does that add years to our appearance, but it also contributes to joint and muscle misalignment, which creates bad movement patterns. Continue with those, and pain and injury aren’t far behind.

For many, the slouching starts due to an occupational hazard: sitting behind a desk for decades.

The body will conform to those positions that it is most frequently in. As you sit in a chair, the body assumes a forward head posture with hunched shoulders. Hip flexors also are contracted and shortened. Even our breathing can become restricted.

Try this: Take a long deep breath. See and feel how your chest expands and your shoulders roll back, creating the desired tall, upright posture.

The rounded haunch is common but not inevitable. You can prevent or correct it. So focus on breathing, stretching and strengthening your core to maintain a solid base. And be sure your regimen includes at least a couple of exercises where you’re pulling those shoulders back, like seated rows. Yoga and Pilates are also excellent for strengthening posture.

All of those will get you or keep you standing tall. Mom would be proud.

Let’s break it down.

Knowing your macros = knowing how to fuel your body with purpose — not perfection.
Here’s a quick refresher:

Protein builds muscle and keeps you full — 4 calories per gram
Carbs give you energy to move and think — 4 calories per gram
Fat supports hormones and brain health — 9 calories per gram

There’s no need to count every gram unless you want to — but being aware of what’s on your plate? That’s powerful. 💪

The goal isn’t restriction.
The goal is energy, strength, and feeling good in your body at any age.
