Why It Works: The Science Behind Healing
You deserve to feel present, energized, and whole again.
Still Strength Wellness was created to work alongside your treatment—not in place of it. The tools we use—movement, meditation, nutrition, and community—are supported by real research. Below, you’ll find how each one plays a vital role in healing.

Movement & Exercise



-
According to the American College of Sports Medicine, regular physical activity during and after cancer treatment improves survival rates and reduces cancer-related fatigue.
-
Yoga has been shown to reduce inflammation, improve sleep quality, and enhance physical function in survivors (MD Anderson Cancer Center studies).
-
Walking or light strength training just 2–3x per week improves mobility and reduces the risk of recurrence for some cancer types (National Cancer Institute).



Plant-Based Nutrition
How it helps:
Reduces inflammation
Supports immune function
Enhances digestion and gut health
Provides vital antioxidants and cancer-fighting nutrients
-
The American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) emphasizes a diet rich in whole plant foods (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes) as protective against cancer.
-
Plant-based diets have been associated with lower recurrence rates and better quality of life for many cancer survivors.
-
Research shows that eating more fiber, antioxidants, and plant nutrients reduces oxidative stress and improves long-term survivorship outcomes.
