Can exercise be one of the most powerful anti-cancer therapies available today? with Robert Newton

In this compelling episode of the Dr. Geo Prostate Podcast, Dr. Geo sits down with internationally renowned exercise oncology pioneer Professor Robert Newton to explore the groundbreaking science behind exercise as medicine for cancer.Inspired by his father's battle with prostate cancer, Professor Newton has spent decades researching how targeted exercise can improve treatment outcomes, preserve muscle mass, strengthen immune function, reduce treatment side effects, and potentially slow cancer progression. Together, Dr. Geo and Professor Newton discuss why muscle is far more than a movement organ—it functions as a powerful endocrine organ that releases cancer-fighting compounds known as myokines.The conversation dives deep into exercise intensity, resistance training, chemotherapy and radiation timing, wearable technology, exercise "dosing," and the landmark Phase III clinical trial that demonstrated exercise can significantly improve survival outcomes in cancer patients. They also discuss practical strategies for overcoming fear of the gym, maintaining muscle during androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), and why sitting all day may undermine your health even if you exercise regularly.Whether you're living with prostate cancer, supporting a loved one, or simply interested in maximizing your healthspan, this episode provides actionable, science-backed strategies to help you move from surviving to thrivingEpisode Timestamps00:00 Introduction & Guest Welcome 03:00 Rob Newton's Father & Origin Story 09:30 Exercise as the #1 Anti-Cancer Tool 17:00 Landmark Exercise Oncology Trial 20:00 Exercise as Medicine 26:00 Resistance Training Intensity Explained 35:30 Exercise Before Radiation & Chemotherapy 40:00 Exercise Timing Around Treatment 47:00 Myokines: Muscle as Medicine 52:00 NEAT & Daily Movement 58:00 Final Takeaways & Closing ThoughtsResources MentionedMy Exercise Medicine for Cancer by Professor Robert NewtonExercise Medicine Research InstituteNew England Journal of Medicine Exercise Oncology TrialAmerican Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Researc___________________________________🌱 Partner OffersProLon 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet — Enjoy fasting benefits with food.
