Stacy Loeb, MD, MSc, PhD (hon), emphasizes integrating dietary and lifestyle modifications into prostate cancer management to improve patient outcomes. In this 21-minute presentation, Dr. Loeb notes that patients with localized disease are more likely to die from cardiovascular causes than prostate cancer itself, highlighting the opportunity to address broader health concerns.

Dr. Loeb introduces the six pillars of lifestyle medicine: whole food, plant-predominant nutrition, physical activity, restorative sleep, avoidance of toxic substances, social connection, and stress management. She emphasizes that plant-based diets, particularly whole foods, and plant-based patterns, reduce the risk of prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, and erectile dysfunction while promoting environmental sustainability.

Loeb advocates for accessible patient resources, tailored educational materials, and collaboration among healthcare providers to promote these practices. The discussion addresses the importance of patient-centered approaches and the potential role of testosterone management in prostate cancer care.
