Welcome to another episode of Flip Your Script, a vodcast by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, hosted by ACLM President Dr. Padmaja Patel. In each episode, we explore five key takeaways on how lifestyle medicine is helping clinicians and leaders reimagine the future of healthcare. This episode, "Taking Back Control: Lifestyle Medicine Through the Cancer Journey" features Dr. Amy Commander, a breast oncologist and Medical Director at Mass General Brigham Cancer Institute, and Dr. Urvi Shah, a hematologist-oncologist and physician-scientist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Both leaders share their unique paths to lifestyle medicine—from Dr. Commander’s marathon-running inspiration to Dr. Shah’s personal battle with Hodgkin’s lymphoma—and how those experiences transformed their approach to oncology. The conversation explores why nearly 40% of cancers are linked to modifiable risk factors and how lifestyle medicine can serve as an active therapeutic tool during and after treatment. Dr. Shah breaks down groundbreaking research on the gut microbiome, explaining how dietary fiber acts as a form of "original immunotherapy" to improve diversity and treatment outcomes. You’ll also hear insights into the rising "epidemic" of early-onset cancers, particularly colorectal cancer in adults under 50, and the critical role of the Western diet in this trend. Dr. Commander highlights how lifestyle medicine provides a sense of empowerment to patients facing a whirlwind of clinical protocols, giving them tangible ways to "take back control" of their health and long-term survivorship. If you’re interested in oncology, the science of the microbiome, patient empowerment, or how evidence-based nutrition can improve cancer outcomes, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Welcome to another episode of Flip Your Script, a vodcast by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, hosted by ACLM President Dr. Padmaja Patel. In each episode, we explore five key takeaways on how lifestyle medicine is helping each guest reimagine the future of healthcare. This episode, "Cleared for Takeoff: Navigating Lifestyle Change and Resilience," features Meryl Fury, MS, RN, and Jeff Nelson. Meryl is the president and CEO of the Plant-Based Nutrition Movement, a public health nurse with over 30 years of experience, and a Food for Life instructor. Her husband, Jeff, is a recreational pilot and entrepreneur who, after a life-altering heart attack in 2023, transformed his health through lifestyle changes and was back to flying within nine months. The conversation explores how a personal health crisis led to a broader mission to educate the piloting community, a group that has a lot to lose—including their career—if their health fails. Jeff shares his inspiring journey from being "invincible" to embracing a plant-based diet, thanks to Meryl's guidance.
