Moving Through Cancer: How Exercise and Nutrition Improve Treatment Tolerance and Survivorship

How does exercise support cancer treatment—and why does nutrition matter for rehab success? On this episode of the F-U Cancer Podcast, host Christina Rollins talks with Scott Capozza, PT, a board-certified oncology physical therapist at Smilow Cancer Hospital at Yale Cancer Center. Scott shares how exercise and nutrition work together to help patients manage treatment side effects, improve quality of life, and rebuild strength during and after cancer care.

We discuss the challenges patients face when starting or maintaining movement, insights from the CHALLENGE trial, common supplement misconceptions, and how to find oncology-trained rehab professionals.
