About

Read full description

Finding Our Center Under Stress (FOCUS) is a 6-week mobileHealth-telehealth intervention for advanced cancer patients. The primary goal of the intervention is to improve symptoms for people living with advanced cancer so that people with cancer can continue to live meaningfully despite these symptoms. The app consists of a welcome section which provides an overview of the app followed by four modules – each focused on a different symptom – sleep, worry-anxiety, fatigue, and mood. Each module contains evidence-based practices shown to improve these symptoms and enhance quality of life. The app wraps up with a summary of the most essential tips provided in the app and goal-setting to ensure long-term success in coping with cancer. The app is only available to individuals who are participating in the FOCUS research study.

Why I Created this program "I went looking for what actually works, not quick fixes, but real, lasting change. What I found surprised me." Rod Mason, founder A routine check-up told Rod his BMI was in the overweight range. A busy life had caught up with him, and he could see where it was heading. So he started researching. What he found was that the same principles driving success in business were the ones practiced by the world's longest-living cultures. At the center of it all: living with purpose. He applied those habits to his diet, lost the weight, and watched other problems, joint pain, poor sleep, low energy all start to fade. That's what became the Low-Key Diet. Low-Key Diet App is a companion to help you live better on purpose. A quiet, supportive space for people doing the work. Why it matters. HEALTH MAKES YOU HAPPIER THAN YOU THINK. “People in the world's longest-living cultures are happier — they eat, move, and live with purpose in communities that make healthy the default." — Rod Mason, founder The Low-Key approach draws directly from this insight. Good health isn't a bonus feature; it's tied to your higher purpose. Using the app and following your own custom plan puts your focus to work immediately. You don't have to do this alone. The Low-Key Diet App is your free companion and guide. Get the course today and join people who are quietly, consistently living better on purpose.
