The purpose of this study is to learn if lifestyle changes and counseling along with standard
medical care, compared to standard medical care alone, can prevent heart problems and
diabetes in men who are receiving ADT for prostate cancer treatment.

Prostate cancer is a very treatable cancer but those treatments can have long-lasting
effects. A kind of hormone therapy called Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) is often used
along with other treatments like radiation and has been shown to improve survival. However,
ADT can have negative effects especially on the heart and metabolism (the body's system for
using and storing energy).

Participation in this study will last for up to 12 months. The study is looking at two
different approaches to treating men who are undergoing ADT:

1. Staying Strong & Healthy Intervention + Usual Care

2. Usual Care

All participants will have blood drawn and be asked questions about how they are feeling
during their participation. The men in the Staying Strong & Healthy Intervention group will
also take part in a diet and exercise program and receive counseling from a member of the
study team.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosed with prostate cancer

- Starting or have started ADT (oral or injection) for prostate cancer treatment within
