With over 950 scientific publications and more than $45 million in research funding, his work pioneers the use of exercise as a targeted therapy for cancer.  He is also the author of My Exercise Medicine for Cancer, Professor Newton champions the concept that precisely prescribed exercise is powerful medicine for improving treatment outcomes and quality of life. In this episode, Robert shares how tailored exercise is reshaping cancer care, from supporting children with cancer to improving outcomes for prostate cancer survivors. We explore how movement can reduce treatment side effects, preserve muscle and bone health, and enhance overall quality of life. Robert also dives into the science behind inflammation and the gut microbiome, the role of sleep and recovery, and how digital health and AI could expand access to personalised exercise support. The conversation tackles common barriers to staying active during treatment and debunks myths like the link between cycling and prostate cancer. A powerful insight into how the right approach to movement can become a vital part of cancer recovery and long-term health.
