What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a personalized referral to a targeted nutrition and exercise program for survivors of breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer. Participants will receive interventions including a Fitbit, a nutrition course, a physical activity program, and weekly one-on-one sessions with a registered dietitian and an exercise physiologist. The goal is to help these survivors adopt healthier eating habits and increase their physical activity levels. The study will assess whether these interventions lead to improved health outcomes for cancer survivors.
