Anticancer Lifestyle Program FAQs

 

What is the Anticancer Lifestyle Program?

The Anticancer Lifestyle Program (ACLP) is an online comprehensive lifestyle transformation course for cancer survivors and those who seek to reduce their risk of cancer and other chronic illnesses.  The program is divided into five modules: Change, Mindset, Diet, Fitness, and Environment.

Through the use of engaging videos, graphics, animation, quizzes and activities, our experts teach course participants evidence-based ways to reduce inflammation and improve the body’s natural defenses against disease.

I’d like to take all the modules.
Should I take them in any particular order?

We recommend starting with the Course Introduction. In this module, you are introduced to the theme of the course, and our course psychologist discusses barriers to change and how to overcome them. Ideally, you would follow that with the Mindset module, since it lays the groundwork for developing a mindset that supports healthy choices and change.
