Just Diagnosed with Cancer? 7 Lifestyle Steps to Help You Bounce Back

Insights from health coach Robert Moore & host Harold Leffall

Why this conversation matters
​The American Cancer Society projects 2 million+ new U.S. diagnoses in 2024—the highest on record. While surgery, radiation and chemotherapy remain lifesaving tools, many patients still ask:
“What else can I do—right now—to support my body and mind?”
Plant-based health coach Robert Moore joined the Good Living Now Podcast to answer that question. Below is a streamlined recap you can read, save, and share.

1. Anchor your mindset first
Cancer is shocking, but it is not automatically a death sentence. Robert’s first request:
“Take a deep breath, lean on your faith, and believe your body was built to heal.”
That mindset powers every other choice you’ll make.

2. Detox your daily environment
“We live in a profits-over-people world,” Robert says, “and hidden chemicals add up.”
  • Swap non-stick pans for stainless steel or cast iron.
  • Choose fragrance-free, plant-based cleaners.
  • Read labels on lotions, shampoos, candles—skin is your largest organ.

3. Shift to whole-food, plant-based meals
Cancer thrives in chronic inflammation. A diet built around fresh fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts/seeds supplies:
BenefitExamplesAntioxidants that protect cellsberries, leafy greens, cruciferous veg
Fiber to feed good gut bacterialentils, chickpeas, oats
Minerals that aid immunitypumpkin seeds, quinoa, Brazil nuts
A sample day Robert shared
MealWhat it looks likeBreakfastKale–banana–blueberry smoothie + flax seeds
SnackMixed berries + 2 Brazil nuts
LunchGiant rainbow salad, lemon-tahini dressing
SnackCelery & carrots with hummus
DinnerSteamed broccoli & cauliflower over quinoa

4. Hydrate like it’s therapy
Aim for ½ your body-weight (lbs) in ounces of water daily. A 160-lb person targets ~80 oz. Include water-rich produce (melon, cucumber, citrus).

5. Move—gently at first, but daily
Light to moderate exercise:
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Improves insulin sensitivity
  • Releases stored toxins through sweat
Walking, gentle yoga, or resistance bands count.

6. Sleep: the “job-site” opens at night
Robert’s favorite analogy:
“You can hire the best architect, buy the best materials—if you never open the job site, the house won’t be built.”
7–9 hours of quality, restorative sleep is when your body repairs DNA, balances hormones, and resets immunity.

7. Lower the stress dial
Chronic stress floods the body with cortisol and adrenaline—fuel for inflammation.
  • Practice 4-7-8 breathing: inhale 4 sec, hold 7 sec, exhale 8 sec, repeat 4×.
  • Use guided meditations or gentle stretching before bed.
  • Set boundaries; remove or reduce avoidable stressors.

Real-world hope
Robert has met survivors who’ve put late-stage cancers into long-term remission, including a 77-year-old, stage-4 lymphoma survivor 16 years out. Some used conventional treatment; others combined it with raw, plant-based diets. Common thread: lifestyle change + medical partnership.

Key take-aways
  1. Mindset + medical care – Believe healing is possible and stay in close dialogue with your oncology team.
  2. Whole-food nutrition – Flood the body with anti-inflammatory nutrients and fiber.
  3. Sleep & stress management – They’re non-negotiable for immune resilience.
  4. Consistency beats perfection – Small daily wins add up faster than “all-or-nothing” bursts.
