Behaviour Change in Survivorship: From Evidence to Movement - EP25

In this episode of the Oncology Revolution Podcast, we speak with Dr. Jessica Gorzelitz — researcher and director of the PACS Lab at the University of Iowa — about how physical activity can support and shape life after cancer. Jess combines kinesiology and epidemiology to study how behavior change and movement can shape life after cancer. As director of the Physical Activity and Cancer Survivorship (PACS) Lab at the University of Iowa, she develops scalable, accessible approaches that bring exercise and physical activity into survivorship care. We talk about: •The key difference between exercise and physical activity •How to motivate people when fatigue and anxiety get in the way•Why avoiding perfection helps build long-term habits •The role of community and accountability in sustaining change•When remote vs. in-person support works best for survivors
