For Providers
Empower your patients
The Anticancer Lifestyle Program (ACLP) provides free resources that empower your patients to create and maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors in the areas of diet, fitness, mindset, and personal environment.
Program resources include an online course, eBooks, webinars, blogs, recipes, a robust toolkit, and more. Our expert-led program is evidence-based and provider-recommended.
Fill a treatment gap
Many healthcare professionals lack the time and resources to explore healthy living with their patients. Our program can help fill the gap by providing tools, tips, and strategies that promote patient well-being before, during, and after treatment.

Ways to get started
There are many ways you can engage patients with the Anticancer Lifestyle Program. Here are a few:
Print and distribute the Anticancer Lifestyle Program rack card to interested patients. If you’d like 5×7 cards mailed to you, please contact us at [email protected].
Start a weekly or monthly Learning Circle group to discuss and review different modules in the online course. This group can be virtual or in-person.
Registered Dietitians, social workers, physical therapists, wellness coaches, and other health professionals can supplement their teaching with our extensive program resources.

What is a Learning Circle?
The advantage of gathering in groups is that patients can support one another and share resources and ideas. The learning process is deepened by the powerful sense of community. As a result, any lifestyle changes are likely to be more “sticky.”
It’s easy to form a Learning Circle. Our Organizer’s Manual gives specific instructions about how to organize groups on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis.
Provider Success Story
The Anticancer Lifestyle Program online course has been successfully adopted by a cancer center in North Carolina. They have run several patient cohorts through the Program.
Key elements include:
- Insurance-reimbursed Shared Medical Visits.
- Cohorts of 10-12 patients who have completed active treatment meet online monthly with a provider.
- Each month, a new module is assigned and discussed at the following meeting.
- Interactive participatory activities are incorporated into each visit.
- Health coach calls are made in between meetings to offer support and additional resources, as well as to review SMART goals.
Praise from Medical Professionals
“The Anticancer Lifestyle Program is truly the most comprehensive and empowering free patient resource that I have seen in over 20+ years of clinical practice! It guides the patient through all the information that a doctor wishes they had time to discuss in a visit.”
Dr. Gina Serraiocco
Sutter Institute for Health and Healing
“My patients respond to the Anticancer Lifestyle Program in a way I find unprecedented in 30 years of Radiation Oncology practice. It helps them feel that we are caring for them, and not just delivering cancer treatment.”
