Welcome to Staying Strong and Healthy

Prostate cancer and its treatments, like Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT), can cause changes in the body, including weight gain, muscle loss, and a higher risk for heart disease and diabetes. These changes can make it harder to stay active and feel your best.

The Staying Strong and Healthy! program is here to help! This web app provides easy-to-follow exercise videos, healthy recipes, and expert tips to support men going through ADT. The goal is to help you stay active, eat well, and take care of your overall health. While this program was developed for men undergoing ADT, we believe the content of this app is good advice for anyone wanting to feel their best.

This intervention was originally developed by Sally L. Maliski, PhD, RN, FAAN , who has dedicated her career to improving health outcomes for men with prostate cancer. With her expertise, the program was designed to provide simple, accessible, and culturally inclusive resources, particularly for Black men, who often face higher risks from prostate cancer.

With this app, you’ll get the tools and guidance you need to feel stronger and healthier during treatment. Let’s take this journey together—one step at a time!
