Cancer itself is very complex, and each cancer behaves differently by using different ways to grow and progress. Cancer treatments will also be different for each type of cancer, the stage it has reached and grade of the cell itself. The cocktail of toxic medications given often bring complex side effects and deficiencies that can impact your health and recovery. One should not embark on such a hard journey without the
support of a therapeutic nutrition and supplementation plan to give the body the ability to sustain these toxic treatments. Our expert cancer nutritionist understands the intricacies that each treatment brings to your overall recuperation.

Every cancer patient’s journey is unique and requires a personalized approach. Our Certified Cancer Nutritionist assesses your current health status, and treatment plan specific to your cancer to create tailored recommendations. This way, you can stay nourished, energized, and better prepared to face your cancer treatments. But the support doesn’t end once treatments are over. The recovery phase post treatments is even more important to solidify and maintain your gains that aimed to debulk and remove tumors, and increase your chances of either staying cancer free, reducing the risks of recurrences and/or controlling progression.
Focused Diet During Chemotherapy
After the first chemotherapy treatment, IBS develops within 4 days and can cause nausea, fatigue, and loss of appetite, making it difficult to maintain proper nutrition. Our experts guide you on the “dos” and “don’ts” during chemotherapy to help reduce the damage and symptoms associated with poor digestion. Your diet DOES matter! With proper guidance, symptoms are minimized and almost non-existent depending on the cocktail of medication prescribed. When following our expert recommendations, most declare not having any symptoms worth mentioning, or at the very least, minimal and short lived.
What Is Cancer Nutrition Therapy?
Cancer nutrition therapy is a specialized form of dietary management plan designed to support your health during cancer treatment. Unlike general nutrition advice, cancer nutrition therapy focuses on addressing the specific needs and challenges faced by cancer patients. It aims to reduce treatment-related side effects, improve immune function, and support overall wellbeing. Our certified cancer nutritionist evaluates closely your overall treatment plan determined by the type, stage and grade of your cancer, as well as other existing health issues to ensure dietary strategies complement your treatment plan effectively.

The Nutrition Cancer Therapy Process
Our services are delivered through comprehensive sessions:
-
Initial Consultation – In this session, depending on where you are in your diagnosis, whether you reach out to our team before, in the middle or after treatments are over, we evaluate your health status, current diet, all issues other than cancer, review of latest blood tests and scans and develop a plan specific for your individual case at that moment in time.
-
Follow-up Session – We review your progress, make necessary adjustments, and provide ongoing support to ensure your plan effectively supports your treatment and/or recovery.
-
Ongoing support – This phase of your support continues long after treatments are over. Each treatment plan is tailored to address whether your scans show complete remission or partial remission. Cancer developed in an environment that allowed it to progress in the first place, and a holistic approach to rebalancing every aspect of your health is necessary in reducing the risks of recurrence or progression. It is a series of cycle of work that teaches our experts how your tissues can respond to our therapeutic plans

Neither would we recommend embarking on a cancer journey using surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy without the support of a properly designed therapeutic nutrition and supplement plan. Protecting healthy cells, reducing side effects, improving treatment outcomes and recovery are all worth taking this first step.
