Description
An evidence-informed approach to wellness goes beyond conventional treatments, incorporating lifestyle strategies and complementary therapies that support overall health. This webinar will explore key topics such as the benefits of exercise on the immune system, whole-food, plant-based diets, and reducing the risk of co-morbidities. Dr. Deborah Stephens will also discuss mind-body practices for stress reduction, the potential role of acupuncture, and what the latest research says about supplements—including the importance of discussing them with your healthcare team. Join us to learn how a comprehensive approach to well-being can complement your CLL care.
