CCLM Program
Our 3-Week Program
Taking Your Lifestyle Management Regimen To the Next Level
The key to overcoming cancer isn’t just about medical treatment, it’s about making your body less hospitable to cancer cell growth. The Center for Cancer Lifestyle Management (CCLM) has created an intensive 3-week program to take your lifestyle regimen to the next level. Whether you’re at a place where you have no evidence of disease (NED) and are concerned with staving off a recurrence or still dealing with active disease, the program is designed to be of use to you. You'll learn both big and small ways to fine-tune your "food as medicine" routine. Our enhanced nutrition experts have a vast and keen knowledge of the impact that food has on the body and of the targeted use of supplements. Anyone on our team will be able to explain to you what they recommend based on peer-reviewed published data. At CCLM we lean hard on research. You'll also be given a "toolkit" to "unpack" issues that have been weighing you down for years - what we call short-term strategies for long-term issues. At CCLM we emphasize the importance that mindset and emotional wellbeing have on every cell in your body. We believe, if your emotional health is compromised (unresolved trauma, depression, anxiety, loneliness, limited social connection) so is your ability to heal. You'll be able to immediately put into practice what you're learning in a variety of stress reduction and movement classes and in an emotional wellbeing breakout group. And There is Much More...... “Yoga, Meditation, Emotional Wellbeing and Stress Reduction for Better Health.” All of our programming is meant to build a strong sense of "tribe" in the small cohort that you will "travel" with during this intensive. A recording will be made available for sessions that if you need to miss a session. Please read about the program below in further detail and feel free to be in touch should you have questions. *If you have out-of-network insurance benefits, subject to the terms of your policy, the cost of the program should be reimbursable.

CCLM Program
4-Week Intensive Program
Using Lifestyle Management to Improve Cancer Outcomes
The 4-Week Program is an excellent option for anyone who has heard the words, “You Have Cancer," though it places a special emphasis on staving off recurrence for those who are post-treatment with no evidence of disease (NED). Often when conventional treatment ends, the only “plan” that someone is left with is to wait-and-see. In contrast, at CCLM, we believe that if you are told you are “NED," it is the most opportune time to get ahead of the curve. Recurrent cancer is very often even more difficult to treat. Like all CCLM programming, the 4-Week Intensive aims to create a customized lifestyle regimen geared toward optimizing your body’s wellness and making it less hospitable to cancer cell growth. It will also seek to deepen your knowledge of how and why lifestyle management can support better cancer outcomes so that you can feel informed and confident with regard to making decisions about your health. It is shaped by research published in mainstream journals, which supports the importance of reducing inflammation, strengthening your immune system, and lowering your insulin resistance, among other things, all shown capable of being realized through lifestyle management. At CCLM, we strongly believe that everyone should receive a complete approach to cancer care that includes supporting the person “behind” the patient.

4 Week Program
Program Components and Objectives
The 4-Week Program spans the realms of six specific areas– emotional wellbeing, social connection, the body’s stress-response system, nutritional intake, physical activity, and positive cognitions. Physiologically, the objective of the program is to support you on the road to attaining a more efficient immune system, reduce inflammation, reduce stress, and to facilitate better intestinal absorption of whole food nutrients, among other things. Emotionally, the program begins to identify and address the depression, anxiety, fear, and regret that often emerge with a cancer diagnosis, along with the longstanding emotional issues that can weigh people down for years. It helps you begin to “unpack” and “repack” the significant trauma of life-altering emotional moments in your life.
Building Community
We realize that a diagnosis of cancer can make you feel like your world has been turned upside down. At CCLM we offer the folks who walk through our doors a community where they can feel known by others going through many of the same things. Even for those who already enjoy a strong social network, finding a like-minded cohort can strengthen resolve. If cancer is anything, it's a long haul.
