Three minutes if you're really going for that robust effect.

If you're only doing three to four minutes a day, it's still associated with a 30% lower cancer-related mortality.

Again, to bring it back to the cancer, there are things that you can do to lower your cancer mortality risk and to lower your cancer incidence as well.

diet obesity obesity accelerates 13 different types of cancer so weight loss is also something that's critical and really does lower your cancer risk okay but let's say there's this scenario where you get cancer and you there's there's a genetic component let's say you just you know the genetic jackpot you unfortunately you got it right you have cancer there are now studies and i had i had um

a researcher on my podcast.

It's a new field.

It's called exercise oncology.

So Dr. Kerry Kernier, he's also from Canada.

He's one of the leaders in this field of exercise oncology.

And what he does is he does studies with individuals that already have cancer, a lot of prostate cancer.

He looks at also colon cancer and breast cancer.

And these individuals that are undergoing perhaps a classical type of standard of care treatment like chemo or radiation or the combination of the two.

But he adds on exercise to that therapy.

And those individuals, it's dramatic how much they respond to the cancer treatment much, much better where they're killing cancer.

the cancer cells, the tumor is shrinking.

They're dramatically improving their cancer survival.

So their mortality goes down and their recurrence goes down.

So every possible metric is improving if you're adding the exercise onto a classical cancer treatment therapy.

So again, I think exercise is that toggle and it's so, so important.

And I know I talked about a lot of things and there's a lot to unpack here.
