Building Back Strength: Sara Stratton on Movement, Mindset, and Mitochondria

Can you really rebuild strength after a cancer diagnosis?
Sara Stratton says yes—and she’s living proof. In our latest Food for Thought webinar, we welcomed back Sara, an oncology nutritionist and breast cancer thriver, to explore how nutrition and intentional movement can power the healing journey.

From her Spartan race photos mid-radiation to her return to soccer at age 45, Sara’s story is nothing short of inspiring. But this webinar isn’t just about personal milestones—it’s packed with practical advice.

“Exercise and nutrition are like peanut butter and jelly—they work best together,” Sarah shares.

Sarah breaks down the four pillars of healing movement:

• Strength Training to maintain lean muscle mass and regulate blood sugar

• Aerobic Activity to protect the heart and reduce cancer-related fatigue

• Flexibility and Balance to prevent injury and support longevity

• High-Intensity Movement for mitochondrial health and cell renewal

She also challenges popular diet myths, emphasizing quality-sourced protein, hydration, and the importance of personalized plans.

“Let’s stop making healing so hard. Small, consistent choices lead to big transformation.”

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, post-treatment, or walking with someone on their journey, this session will empower you with real tools and compassionate wisdom.
