The LIVENsm (Lifestyle InterVention with Exercise and Nutrition) Program encourages patients to engage in regular aerobic exercise and to maintain a healthy diet.

Test results provide information information on how well the patientÂ’s body metabolizes fat. The data is used to formulate a tailored diet and exercise plan. As prostate cancer patients reach their target goals, many are able to discontinue taking blood pressure medicine and cholesterol reducing drugs.
