Podcast Insights
Content Themes
This podcast emphasizes lifestyle interventions, mental health, and personalized care in oncology. Topics include the impact of exercise on cancer outcomes, the role of genetics in cancer prevention, and the importance of humanizing healthcare. Episode examples include discussions on the three pillars of behavior change and the use of psychedelics in addressing trauma for cancer survivors.
Oncology Revolution is a podcast powered by the European School of Lifestyle Oncology (ESLO) seeking to transform cancer care through science, compassion, and innovation.
In each episode we bring a different voice to explore evidence-based insights, integrative strategies, and multidisciplinary perspectives. From lifestyle medicine, exercise and clinical nutrition to communication, palliative care, and cutting-edge research.
Season 2 of the Oncology Revolution Podcast is out – and it opens with a powerful conversation on mind, body and identity.
In this first episode, we speak with Renee Exelbert, a licensed psychologist and certified personal trainer who brings together clinical expertise, lived experience and a deep understanding of the mind-body connection.
Renee shares both her personal and professional journey in oncology, exploring the emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis, the concept of cancer-related trauma, and how identity evolves across diagnosis, treatment and long-term survivorship. The conversation highlights why psychological care does not end with treatment, and how self-care, exercise and emotional regulation become essential tools for long-term well-being.
A special moment in this episode focuses on how to stay true to New Year’s resolutions – particularly when motivation fluctuates or life after cancer feels uncertain. Renee offers practical, compassionate insights on setting intentions that are sustainable, values-based and supportive of long-term health, rather than driven by pressure or perfection.
What you’ll take away:
- How cancer can shape identity beyond diagnosis and treatment
- Why trauma can resurface long after treatment ends
- The role of mind-body strategies in emotional resilience and long-term care
- How to approach New Year’s resolutions in a realistic, supportive and sustainable way
